Destiny was chasing a pattern in the Cosmic microwave background radiation. but the ancient never arrived aboard to uptake this mission.
What are the chances the ancient never got around to going because they figure out the answer from just staying home and doing some math
Hey guys
What are the best stargate novels ? I just read Valhalla, not bad but I was wondering if any really stand out
Cheers!
So I just installed my new CPU cooler and after realising I could put any gif on it, I thought a stargate would be ideal.
What you think?
What would a modern day SG1 show as a whole look like, both in universe and production. Modern weapons and military technology and tactics. Modern medicine. Modern policy and political/cultural tendencies. How would the show look with everything being made in the 2020s
Edit: not a continuation but a remake of SG1
It clearly is different to alternate realities in the quantum mirror.
I need some help from the Stargate community. I absolutely loved the shows (except Universe, sorry not sorry 😂). I wrote Stargate Fanfiction and I need a name for one of my characters. She currently goes by "Oria" pronounced Or-Ree-A. Now bear in mind, I created this character when I was a kid and before I watched the full franchise.
My dilemma now is the name looks too familiar to the Ori (and she is defiantly not associated with them). I'm wanting a more Ancient name for her, especially something with a meaning.
Her background: She was born into a Jaffa family, the parents also had Teal'c. This baby was special as Teal'c's mother struggled to conceive after having him. She often referred to her as a gift from the Gods but not from the Goa'uld, actually from the Ancients. When Oria was born, she was still born but a "heavenly" light gazed upon her, making her cry out for her mother. Oria then developed abilities later in life as she grew. Her powers were gifts from the Ancients who chose her to be the blood of the Ancients. Apophis took credit for her abilities stated he had granted her the power to serve him. She was a hand maiden for years, training to became a new host for his queen. They later learned that she was unable to be taken a host (unless it was a willing act). When SG1 first arrived on Chulak, Oria did try and stop Amaunet from taking Sha're as a host. She was thrown in the dungeons for this, at the dismay of her bother Teal'c. She became close to Skaara as a result. She went to Earth with Teal'c having also been banished and branded a traitor. She later developed a connection with Daniel Jackson and well after Sha're passed away, they began a relationship. They did have 2 children (something Oria thought was not possible). A boy being born on the day of Daniel's death/ascension then a girl being born after the events on Continuum.
I hate that the gates seeded by the Ancients Destiny expedition fleet do not come with a DHD.
It would of been really cool to find an alein race using the gates as part of the society. but if your not from destiny you don't get to play.
Greedy Ancients.
Just started watching the new show matlock and noticed a familiar face lol good take a look for yourself
Here's another 😂
In the episode where sg1 escorts the IOA through the stargate, shenxiao yi and daniel were speaking manderin and Mitchell said haha funny and replied in manderin. Anyone catch what they were saying? I understand some manderin but their pronounciation was so horrid, I can't make anything out.
I found an old external drive today that has a bunch of production files from the shows. Mostly Atlantis and SGU animations or fixed screen stuff. Spinning Pegasus screen saver, etc.
What I'd love but can't seem to find is the screensaver on the Atlantis computer system. Does anyone have this?
With how slow the seed ships are, how long do you think it would take to seed an entire galaxy with stargates? Would it be possible that there are seed ships still dropping gates during Goa'uld rule?
So many episodes see the core teams characters put in mortal danger, but it has very little impact because there’s no risk. The plot armor is so thick that you just never feel like the danger is real at all. That leads to crazy power creep overtime to try and keep the audience, emotionally engaged. How would you make a show without plot armor?
EDIT: it’s absolutely possible to do this. If you don’t think it’s possible, then you don’t have an answer to my question. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I've seen constant talk about the various homes we see Asgard inhabit but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on where these homes were. As far as I know there are 3 names, Ida, Othala and Orilla.
So we all know the original Asgard homeworld is Othala which is located in Ida...as directly stated in "the Fifth Race"
"This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in the galaxy of Ida."
Othala was then destroyed when the Asgard first captured the Replicators in a time dilation field and then collapsed the planet into a blackhole, in the mean time the Asgard relocated to the planet Orilla...
...this is where things get muddy...I've seen references to Orilla being in a new galaxy which was named Othala in honor of their original homeworld (https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Othala_(galaxy))...with a the world destroyed by the Replicators now being referred as Hala (which is probably because Thor says it's the first world SETTLED by the Asgard but I always took this to mean their homeworld.t
I've also seen people claim Orilla was located in the Milky Way? Probably because the Ori were able to get there so quickly in Unending, I don't see any evidence of it being in the Milky Way but I keep seeing people refer to it as such (in the subreddit and in various wikis).
As I understood it the Asgard always lived in Ida on various worlds:
First Othala and then Hala (or maybe Othala is a city on Hala?)
Then Orilla after they were forced to abandon (and destory) one or both of Othala and Hala.
All of these worlds were located in Ida.
Am I wrong?
Watching this Reel made me think of my contribution and then immediately of Stargate in my life

From an in-universe perspective, think of how much work Teal'c put into that joke.
First, he would have had to hear someone say the classic idiom of "wild horses could not drag me away", and I don't think we ever heard any of our characters say that onscreen. So he got it from somewhere.
Then, he had to get the joke (easy) and realize that his speech patterns did not work for it, and create an equivalent using bigger and more formal words.
And finally he had to have that tucked away in his mind ready for use. He planned that joke.
It's a good feeling doing work that makes a person feel like they're making a difference.
Has anyone pursued a career due to inspiration from watching Stargate?
Got this today in the mail , took quite a while from when they first showed it till they send it out. The Gate is very nice looking, it doesnt feel very plasticy, I'd assume it has a metal core. The Base is also very heavy , much more then I would have expected. The details on the Gate are looking great. The Gate is a bit wobbely in the Base but once its placed on a stable surface thats not realy a problem. The only thing I dislike is how the brush strokes on the base look, there not many of them and dont look like the one shown on the image on their webside. I think it would have looked better just being fully black but maybe I just got a bad example. In conclusion its still a great piece and for 50$ at a great price.
We never get a number for the words the gou'ald had in their empire. We know there was the addresses cartouche on abidos, which was one of Ra's worlds, which most likely means these are the worlds, or at least the majority of worlds in their empire (not withstanding individual secret escape planets, which wouldn't account for much). But Daniel stated the cartouche on abidos would take a lifetime to translate all of the addresses. Some guesstimates bellow.
Say he translates five a day of ten years, thats 18'250 worlds in their empire. Say he does ten a day for twenty years, that's 73,000 worlds. Twenty a day for fourty years, that's 292,000 worlds. Or let's say he was being literal, and it's a lifetime. So say we say seventy years at twenty a day. That's 511,000 worlds. These would all be split between them, and be made up of slave worlds, mining worlds, outposts, research worlds, Jaffa worlds and then actual gou'ald planets. And this is across the galaxy.
And as for the number of Jaffa? Tulac is one of many Jaffa worlds. Tea'lc is noted as telling lord U's first prime that millions of his Jaffa will die if they do not confront Anubis when they promised to. How many is millions? Well we know human slave worlds are used as hosts for gou'ald, and they can be converted to Jaffa (just like Oniell was), and Baal sacrificed sixty million humans just so another system lord couldn't have them. Which means humans and their stock are not in short supply, at least not majorly. There were fifteen system lords including Ra, (there were many more minor gou'ald who had worlds) but if we average them out for the system lords, and each system lord had 5,000,000 Jaffa, (I'm just putting out some safe numbers here), that's 75,000,000 jaffa across the gou'ald empire. And that's assuming a low millions number. Say it's about 20,000,000 per system lord, that's 300,000,000 Jaffa in the gou'ald empire. And there could be more. Seems like alot, but when you consider that this planet has billions of people on it alone, it's not that much. But that's an army of raised from birth soldiers.
According to carter a ha'tak can carry hundreds to thousands of Jaffa. If this is true, the gou'ald system lords collective would have between 150,000 vessels with the space for 500 Jaffa per ha'tak, or 25,000 vessels with 3000 Jaffa per ha'tak, at the 75,000,000 Jaffa. At 300,000,000, it would be 600,000 vessels at 500 Jaffa per ha'tak, and 100,000 vessels at 3000 Jaffa per ha'tak.
In short. I would say even at low numbers, the gou'ald had a massive empire across the milky way galaxy.
Hey wanted to ask does anyone have any new information on if they will do a mini series to finish what happened to the crew of the destiny? Also if anyone has any new information on a reboot of the series.
Thanks!
I just want everyone to go out there and purchase some of General Hammond's delicious snacks. This is what the general decided to do after he retired from service. Now get the hell out of my office!
