It stars Ben Browder and Claudia Black, features a race called the Ancients, and I remember something about wormholes, can anyone help me out?

They're finally up and available! "Apophis gold" variants of my original anodized Comtrya pins. :D

Title says it all really, looking for a fanfic, ideally a complete one, about other SG Teams either primarily or completely.

I don’t know if this comes up often but as Dune is experiencing some popularity recently I thought I’d ask. Hopefully there’s some dune fans here. What do you think of a comparison. In the Dune books I always think of the Tok’ra as the closest comparsion, as that they prefer to plot and plan passively as events occur. They are rarely pro-active and make their actions/changes extremely carefully, their pay-offs usually occuring in the thousands of years in the future.

I’m aware the Tok’ra showed almost no impact in the series, often being antagonistic or counterproductive. I think mostly this is because for the purposes of the series they could not skip forward hundreds or thousands of years.

thoughts? mocks? thanks.

I’m wondering how many staff weapons the SGC might have gotten their hands on over the years; and why no one seems to have tried reverse engineering them?

Off memory Anubis "Strike me down! Do it now or I will destroy Abydos!"

Sure there are some series that may have similar alien works, space ships, space battles, etc but the thing that sets Stargate apart is its unique storyline. Teasing audiences with beginning of the universe findings , extremely advanced race, travelling to different galaxy and back, anthropological experiments and more

I’ve not been able to find that properly does 1 of the above things. How many “secret alien in your spaceship” series we had but not 1 touching Stargate type stuff. We need Netflix/Prime level budget Stargate revival, please

Anyone ever thought about how the crap bucket (toilet) in Atlantis would work?

Anyone know the story of this woman and her new born from Atlantis S2 E2 The Intruder?

In the episode where Jack releases Maybourne, he mentions he is getting the death penalty for his treason. From what I know of military law, the death penalty is really only warranted during war time.

Was Maybourne's sentence (potential sentence) too harsh?

We know that our favourite lego spiders have a penchant for eating any tech they find and making more. Why didn't we ever see them eating the gates? Or at least the dhds. Both made from materials that can withstand thousands of years if not millions of years of abuse, and to boot can absorb energy and gunfire without much issue. Yes they are a convenient fast travel method but you can't tell me that a few dozen spiders couldn't spoof one if needed. And while the material may be old it's resilience is pretty unbeaten in the sgu.

I know the real answer is script based, but it's interesting that they didn't seem fussed by eating ancient technology

So I’m rewatching the whole series (SG-1,SGA, and SGU) again on prime. Why is there ads. And does anyone know how to get rid of them

Got my stargate metal poster from Displate. Not sure about where it fits yet. But damn I'm happy about it

He could heal the sick, walk on water.

Definitely an ancient lol... Funny thing is the show never touched Christianity really...

I imagine they never touched modern religion because of the insane backlash it would probably get...

Not many ancient Egyptian fanatical religious folk around lol

And then there was how Adria was born, Vala impregnated by the Ori was very Mary of her!

"Merlin, also known as Myrddin Wyllt, Merlin Caledonensis, or Merlin Sylvestrus lived from about 540 to August 584"

So Merlin we know was an ancient if he came to England from pegasus. So he came through the gate with the other ancients 10,000 years ago when back in time Weir was with them. So if Jesus was an ancient he would have came through the gate with Merlin and co, so in that case the timeline doesn't match...

But Merlin lived in 500s if you go by the texts/scripts apparently 500 years after the death of Christ...

But then that's blown out the water when Jackson becomes host to Merlin and he says he lived 3/4 lifetimes... so the 500s we know was just one of his evolutions.

SG1 often says that the ancients started life in this galaxy...

Then you throw time travel into the mix and we know at least 1 ancient time travelled to the planet Maybourne was on and left a diary of prophecies.

Then you have the ancient board game which McKay and Sheppard played god - so we know they liked doing that with primitive civilisations...

I'm not religious despite being raised a Catholic. But I would much rather believe god was an accended being and Jesus was an ancient lol....

I actually like earlier McKay and his slow transition to the super scientist of impossible we see in SGA. In the episode where Anubis attacks their gate, Rodney says the title of this post, calling Carter an artist and believing he was just a technical scientist like he was at the piano.

Except I just think Rodney needed a muse, someone to compare to. His early rivalry with Carter was much like his sister, he can't believe others are as smart as him and can have better ideas on occasion. I think it's that competition he has with Carter and finally admitting she's better at some things than him turned her into his personal muse. That's when Rodney became his own form of artist. Rodney starts think like Carter when trying to find solutions, of what might be rather than what is (very much apparent in the SGA episode where he thinks of her for help when he's stuck underwater).

I still agree with McKay that Carter does rely a bit too much on "maybes" when she theorizes ideas and sometimes dismisses a practical idea because she assumes it won't work but has no other options (like Rodney's EMP idea, but she had nothing better to try and it was Jonas gave her the right idea in the end).

So, what do you think of the Carter/McKay relationship?
