History YMMV / StargateInfinity

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Commander Da'kyll]] of the Tlak'kahn Empire is the ruthless, bloodthirsty leader of the Warrior caste, known for his habit of turning his adversaries into living trophies in suspended animation while he works on finding a way to break their spirits and turn them into mindless servants. After orchestrating the massacre of Major Gus Bonner's old team, Da'kyll has him framed as a traitor to Stargate Command, and relentlessly pursues him and his new squad across the universe, intent on capturing Bonner's mysterious alien ally Draga, who Da'kyll is convinced is one of the [[{{Precursors}} Ancients]]. Da'kyll at one point takes a village hostage, and threatens to destroy it unless Bonner surrenders to him; when Bonner does give himself up, Da'kyll [[ILied orders that the village be razed anyway]] before deciding that it would be more fun to let its inhabitants die slow deaths from an illness that is ravaging them. When the Mardan, one of the Tlak'kahns' {{Slave Race}}s, help him capture the Stargate crew, Da'kyll destroys the team's cure for a plague that the Mardan are suffering from while noting that if the Mardan manage to survive the sickness on their own, they will have proven worthy enough to be used as CannonFodder. Da'kyll threatens soldiers who fail him with torture, murders his professional rivals, and frequently flouts the authority of the [[GreaterScopeVillain Nax'kan Council]], who he [[TheStarscream intends to overthrow]] using the knowledge and power of the Ancients.

** The Goa'uld System Lords were defeated within the last thirty years before the start of ''Stargate Infinity''. ''Series/StargateSG1'' was in its sixth season at the time ''Infinity'' premiered, during which a new BigBad, Anubis came to power and the System Lords' power gradually began to crumble away. The System Lords were officially defeated in Season 8, and the last remaining one was killed in the GrandFinale film, ''Film/StargateContinuum''.

** "Mentor" features a maverick SG-team leader named Colonel Harley Shepherd. This was almost two years before ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' introduced Major (later Lt. Colonel) John Sheppard, a MilitaryMaverick.
* MoralEventHorizon: In "Double Duty", Da'kyll takes a village hostage and threatens to kill everyone in it unless he is given Bonner and Draga. When Bonner turns himself in, Da'kyll orders that the village be razed anyway, and when Bonner points out that the villagers are all sick, the bemused Da'kyll calls off his men because he has decided that it would be more fun to let the villagers die slow, painful deaths from the disease afflicting them.

* CommonKnowledge: Draga ''was'' originally thought to be an Ancient in the series, but this is later proven to be untrue. Despite this, countless viewers believe that Draga's species is ''Infinity''[='=]s canonical interpretation of the Ancients. [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch This makes it pretty easy to tell who's actually watched the show and who hasn't]].

* PainfulRhyme: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67E-_SQLVRo theme song]] does not contain a ''single'' true rhyme:
-->Built by Ancients so long ago,\\
The Stargate lay 'til we broke the code,\\
Now it takes us through the universe\\
On our mission to get back to Earth.\\
We are hunted and on the run,\\
And together we overcome,\\
Fighting evil through the galaxy:\\
Stargate Infinity!

* {{Anvilicious}}: Like ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'', the series tried to get the censors and MoralGuardians off of its back by doing ''a lot'' of moralizing and {{Captain Obvious Aesop}}s. Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well, as both this show and ''Series/AceLightning'' ended up being singled out as "anti-social" by people like Dale Kunkel and organizations like the United Church of Christ and Center for Digital Democracy.

When Bonner turns himself in, Da'kyll orders that the village be razed anyway, and when Bonner points out that the villagers are all already dying from a plague, the bemused Da'kyll calls off his men because he has decided that it would be more fun to let the villagers die slow, painful deaths from the disease.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Da'Kyll was always a LargeHam, but he ''really'' starts ChewingTheScenery during his RousingSpeech in "Feet of Clay."

* HarsherInHindsight: Most of the established alien races in ''SG-1'' are left unmentioned in ''Infinity''. While most likely due to ''Infinity''[='=]s creative team being unfamiliar with them, the final episode of ''SG-1'' shows that [[spoiler:the Asgard would not have lived to ''Infinity''[='=]s time anyway, having committed mass-suicide by destroying their home planet, in order to prevent the Ori from acquiring their advanced technology.]]

** The Stargate program was at some point made public thirty years prior as well. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Though it was canceled]], this would have happened in the third SG-1 movie, ''Stargate: Revolution''.

* HilariousInHindsight: The show's premise- that of a team trying to get back to Earth using Stargates- bears a resemblance to the plot of ''Series/StargateUniverse'', albeit without the whole "[[Series/TheATeam framed for a crime they didn't commit]]" element.
