Specifically, I'm talking to a girl. The movie and first episodes kind of take a minute to get moving, but I also don't want to explain everything in an episode. Looking for one of the best standalone episodes that really showcase what Stargate is without needing backstory. Any ideas?

Personally while I adore the spunkiness Vala brought to the show I do believe Janet should have been his endgame.

She was just too Whiney and undeveloped

Seems that getting a ring to go around the circumference should be easy then run an HDMI to a raspberry Pi and have a working Stargate event horizon.

Once back in the present, does Sheppard ever Thank McKay (onscreen) for finding a way to travel 48000 years in the future (a hologram, I know) to save him?

I wonder if there are people here who worked in Stargate productions. I would love to hear some stories 🥰 I would cherish for the rest of my life if I had the chance to stood in the background in the same room with the team as an extra even for 10min 🥰

In Stargate Atlantis they talk a lot about the War between the Ancients vs the Wraith but at least for me it would be really cool to get a TV show about it. It would give us a lot more info and it would “revive” the Stargate universe

It's a huge multi media thing from way back when that was a thing. Love that experimental digital fiction era! So the story revolves around an Atlantis expedition that was a little more prepared to be stuck without access back to earth. They figured right, and survived a lot while building alliances. When they finally get back in contact with earth, the team is a little more hardened and angry and don't take as much shit as they do in the show. This ends up resulting in a Shepard/Weir/McKay coup where Atlantis declares itself independent from earth and cut off contact. The story is told largely in the form of text bits between image files of documents and missives between characters. I read it sometime in the '00s or '10s, really not sure. It was when Livejournal was really taking off.

The Jaffa seemingly know a lot about who the Gould really are and how they work? They know they carry larval Gould that will eventually mature into a “God”. They know of other Gould who serve their “Lord” or “Master.” They know about the system lords and about the power structures they enforce that provide the Gould with resources.

So my question is when they say shit like “kneel before your God” do they know Mister Bright Eyes isn’t really a god, but they’re still totally fine serving him (or her?-technically Gould don’t have a sex) or are they true believers, even with everything they know about the Gould?

All offworls travelers should only be able to connect to SGC from the alpha site. This includes outgoing wormholes to unknown planets. We shouldn't be risking earth by having unverifiable travelers directly arriving from earth, instead they should be screened at the alpha site, checked for goulds and other problematic things before going to earth. Crazy plants and animals should only be studied off world.

I’m not trying to start a fight. I watched the original 90s film. Then SG-1 and then Atlantis. Back in the days before streaming services I bought several episodes from both shows in iTunes and do still watch the shows to this day.

However, I never did watch Stargate Universe (SGU). I know it only had two season before getting cancelled and was set on a ship (that was drifting through space?) so once the team/crew arrived via the Stargate, they couldn’t leave - I assume that’s to do with the changing point of origin/ seventh chevron?

So: (apparently the poll can only be open for 7 days and not indefinitely)

Been rewatching Atlantis for some light entertainment. Watched "Sunday" earlier today.

Assuming you were just a normal member of the expedition without any meta fan knowledge and assuming it was just a normal, quiet day without any bomb tumors going off...

If Dr. Beckett invited you to go fishing for space trouts on the mainland, would you go?

I just finished Season 7 of my Stargate rewatch and I noticed during this entire rewatch (and every previous one) I get anxious waiting for Walter to open the iris when the SGC received a IDC signal.

In the Season 7 Lost City p1 they receive Master Bra'tac's IDC and Daniel hurries Dr. Weir with a "If we don't open the iris then he'll hand motions splatting" and she authorizes it opening.

Throughout the series there's this long delay between receiving the IDC and approval for opening it. But on SG-1's end they'll send the IDC signal and immediately run through.

I know they aren't going to splat but why isn't it automatic on Walter's or whomever is operating the console's part. "Receiving IDC... It's SG-1. Opening the iris!"

Does anyone else get a little nervous from the delay even though they know they'll be fine? Every time I'm internally screaming OPEN THE IRIS OPEN THE IRIS!!

Teal'c sure seemed to like that bed. Probably didn't have much to spend his army pay on.

What other luxuries would Teal'c like?

Basically four humans with machine pistols defeat fleets of invading starships, eradicate multiple advanced races, and always survive close calls. The ancients were guiding them and helping them the entire time while pretending to not be helping them. Like you hold your kid's first bike and run behind enthusiastically shouting "You're doing it"

I see a ZPM and a Stargate.

I don't know why I've not realized this before. They even have the same shape and size.
