Stargate movies

[The D]

I've noticed that two Stargate DVD movies have come out lately. I'm just finding it strange that they'd come out with straight-to-dvd movies one right after another. Having watched little of the show, and only now starting to show a little interest, I have no idea what's going on, all I know is that the current plot involves some Catholic-like aliens conquering planets in the name of their religion which they claim is the "truth, the light and the way." Is the series ending and the movies are a continuation of the series, or is the series continuing and the movies are just side plots that are only partially related to the series?

I just hate the Ori.

Second movie woulda been great had they just undid all the goa'uld they killed and launched into a new series.

I saw The Ark of Truth and wasn't impressed at all. I hated the Ori too. Just the goa'uld in different clothes. I was glad when the show ended. It was like a lame horse...it needed to put down.

Definately. I knew the series was in trouble when they killed Heru-Ur.

I look at the Ark of Truth as the ending to a mediocre story arc. That's basically what it was.
I want to see continuum though. Haven't had a chance.

Don't you mean the series was in trouble when RDA left?

Even before then, it was starting to suffer.

Do see, it's great and no mention of the Ori.
