This made me want Chuck to review Disney Channel's Zapped.

Look it up.

Or you could just not be lazy and tell us.

If you don't think it's worth 10 minutes of your lifetime to tell us about Zapped, then it's not worth 10 minutes of each of our lifetimes to investigate ourselves.

To fair Zapped being Disney Channel's tells me everything I need to know about it without needing to look what it's about. Nicely put most original Disney Channel shows and movies aren't very good.

A teenage girl gets an app that allows her to control boys.

Stop looking at me like that.

I wish I could like Stargate SG-1. It has great characters and often has great writing, but I just think they went way overboard with the "everything on earth is ancient aliens" thing.

I wish they'd stopped at the ancient egyptians and from there went the Stargate Atlantis route by creating new mythos on other entirely different cultures and alien species. I couldn't suspend my disbelief for SG-1 when I was a teenager and I still can't. Feels like they took a great idea and ran it into the ground.

I guess I get what you're saying. It did get a little tiresome after a while constantly incorporating old earth cultures and religions into the show, but it didn't ruin it for me. Having said that, it should be noted that the show didn't claim that these religions originated from aliens. The religions already existed before the aliens showed up, and the aliens just claimed to be the earth gods and played the part to get people to worship them. This is something the series could have made clearer. The confusion about this is likely the reason they never had a Goaul'd playing the abrahamic god. People would have gotten angry, thinking that the show was implying that god is an alien.

A bigger thing that bothered me about the show was how quickly earth technology advanced in just a decade, and how the people of earth remained oblivious to everything despite the constant alien activity on earth, and invasions, and spaceships flying to and from earth, etc. Otherwise it was a pretty good show.

Except that those religions were established during quite different times, with the egyptian pantheon being more or less the oldest among the displayed religions.

They're mostly ancient religions. The one notable exception being the Norse religion, portrayed by the Asgard.
