What would your new series be about? Who are the bad guys?

If you had the opportunity to create (or just have a hand in the creation of) a new Stargate franchise product, what would it be about? Who would your bad guys be? What are the stakes of the show? Tv series? Movie? Video game? Do you have a story?

The Michael Situation In Atlantis Left a really bad taste in my mouth…

Honestly I'm kind of disgusted by the entire Atlantis team for what they did and how they treated Michael.

But the worst is their extreme arrogance and superiority complex as well just overall extremely shitty behavior. I don't understand why they act so surprised and pissed off at Michael after he turned hostile towards them. The man found out he's been experimented on and treated like some animal and then lied and brainwashed. Wtf did they expect him to do? Be thankful and clam? Even regular humans would get hostile.

But even after all of that he was still trying to make peace and even helped the Atlantis team out. And how do they thank him? By imprisoning him and then knocking him out in order to do even more experiments on him and a bunch of other Wraith.

What's even the point of turning Wratih human if you're going to treat them like shit? You're just gonna make new enemies and at that point you might as well just kill then like you would've normally done.

Even worse is this idea that as humans they will somehow be less dangerous. Sure the Wraith suck your life force out but humans are capable of doing things that are just as awful and violent. This arrogance of Atlantis to act as if humans are somehow morally superior is nonsense.

Honestly SG1 also had morally questionable moments but it was never as bad or noticeable there. I never felt actual disgust from anyone in SG1.

They keep acting like the Goa'uld were so evil and fucked up for brainwashing and experimenting on people and then Atlntis is like "you know what, sounds like a good idea. But it's ok because we are the good guys so doing extremely screw up things is fine."

Help. What am I missing with Atlantis?

I want to preface this with saying I am not a sci-fi person. In fact, I'd say I have a pretty strong aversion to sci-fi. I can't stand Star Wars, I struggle with Star Trek, and I typically get bored of most science fiction because my heart lies with medieval fantasy settings.

My partner ADORES sci-fi, especially Stargate (except Universe, but I'm yet to understand why). It was formative for him and he can talk about it endlessly, its very endearing. When he first introduced me to it I was apprehensive but I promised to give it a shot.

I fell in love with the first season of SG-1 immediately. There wasn't a single character I had issues with, and I loved the setting and characters, especially Daniel. Something about the mix of real world history and mythology into the show really charmed me, and his excitement over it really captured my own feelings over history. Despite some issues I had with the last season, it became one of my favourite shows. My partner was ecstatic.

We started watching Atlantis after the 'spiritual end' of SG-1 and he told me it was just as good and I'd love it. I am really struggling. I feel like its far more 'alien' and I'm just not vibing with the characters as much. I really liked Carson and Elizabeth, but both of them are now gone from where we're at in the story and I've just lost all interest. I feel like Shepherd doesn't have the same level of charisma that Jack and Mitchell did, and Teyla honestly just bugs me as a character, she feels kind of flat to me.

The Wraith, as well! I felt like the Goa'uld had so much personality, and even though I loathed him, I had a clear sense of who Apophis was. The Wraith, meanwhile, feel so boring. I know there are some that are unique and interesting, but they don't have the same level of.. I guess culture? Which I found compelling.

This has been really upsetting for my partner, and I want to make him happy. I figured I'd come here and ask for some help in deciphering what makes Atlantis so beloved. Please give me some insight into how this show really works, theories that might help me love it. I want to continue watching this with him and to have something to look forward to in the show, because right now every episode feels like a drudge.

If this isn't the right place for this please let me know! I just figured this would be a good forum for me to get some differing opinions on the show. Thanks!

Agent Barrett

Is there any reality where this guy, who got brainwashed and helped Baal escape, wouldn't be locked in a dark corner of Area 51, if not taken out back and shot? He's in possession of HIGHLY classified info (the Stargate program, and all accompanying info), so he can't be "fired" and let loose. He's already been a MASSIVE breach of *global* (if not Galactic) security. But he just goes "I'm good now", and they give him his badge and gun back, *AND* put him on another op involving Baal?!?

They do exist, just harder to find.

Also, someone also pointed out that the "mistake" version also says "There is" instead of "There's". This version has that corrected as well :)

FN P90 to 500yds: Practical Accuracy (Stargate SG1 main weapon) PS90

For my fellow P90 Enjoyers. It is mentioned in the video that the set did in fact have 10 authentic P90s from Belgium. Not clones, but the real McCoy.

Do the Goa’uld identify themselves as humans once taken a host?

Watching “Fallout” and when Jonas’ assistant volunteers herself to go into the tunnel, as the goa’uld mentions “my symbiote will protect me”. Isn’t she the symbiote?
Or is it just a way of saying it so the humans will understand?

My 1 SGC Disappointment

I wonder why they didn't pair Daniel with Sarah. They would have been perfect together. Yes, they have a past, he admits he screwed it up. He could have been there for her in her recovery.

Does anyone know when this fan merch design was first created?

I custom made a t-shirt with it last year. I had to actually custom make the design, since I couldn’t find it anywhere, and sent it to a t-shirt printing company. I’ve worn it many times to conventions/other places. Since then, I’ve seen this popping up everywhere.

I kind of want to think I popularized this, but am welcome to receive a reality check if anyone else has seen this pre-2023

Sci-fi book recommendations

So I have been getting into listening to audiobooks more to satisfy my sci-fi fix. I finished Project Hell Mary not long ago and I'm almost done with the second book in the Bobiverse series.

I know that this is a Stargate sub but was wondering what y'all have read or are reading.

Without the Stargate program, Hathor would still have awoken in 1997 after being freed by two random archaeologists in some tomb in Mexico

It's kinda crazy when you think about it.

Early on in the show there is this idea that the United States "opened Pandora's box" by unburying the Stargate in 1928 and creating the Stargate program in the 1990s.

But in fact, even if they hadn't done these two things, the Goa'uld Goddess Hathor would still have been unsealed by two random archaeologists in 1997 in some tomb in Mexico (as seen in the SG-1 season 1 episode "Hathor").

Imagine if Hathor woke up and the Stargate program didn't exist. She would have enslaved the entire Earth population. She would also easily have found the Stargate buried in Egypt and would then have used it to get back at Ra or something. Anyway, we would have been screwed.

SGU S02ER17, why a campsite?

So in the episode they gate to their descendants campsite.

They have been cut off from their real homeworld for 30 years. In the kino footage we see Eli explain that they in 10 years managed to build more housing.

So why would a technology advanced society send an expedition camping? And why would they in 30 years still be camping? I am both an eagle scout and a veteran, and my campsite would look very different if I got 30 years to rebuild it!

Stargate novels

I recently learned that SG1 had novels. After getting over my disappointment in myself that I didn't know that sooner, I looked it up and found this one. I want to get into the novels but I want your thoughts on the 'must-reads', 'mustn't-reads', 'maybe-reads', and 'I don't know reads'. Also, please tell me what you think of The Furies.

Sheppard's dogtags

Does anyone have a good (readable) picture of his tag? Either from the series (though I don't think they are clearly shown) or a prop?

Or even better does anyone know if there are prop replicas of his tags on sale? I've seen Sam's and Jack's but not Sheppard's.

Teal'c

Does the Jaffa not have monogamous relationships, or is Teal'c just a womanizer and bad dad?

Lucius should have made birdhouses too

Gourds make for great birdhouses. He wouldn't even need the herb if he could offer both candles AND birdhouses in trade.
