I've seen this happen in several episodes (s1-s3).

I'm willing to concede to it being a production mistake, however in some episodes it seems deliberate, like "New Ground", where the episode literally starts in a close up of Earth's point of origin symbol in a Stargate in another planet.

Hard to argue for production error there.

I think he could have been cool to reintroduce to the galaxy and do more than just dope around on Earth.

Randomly selected episode concept art

Wondering what the opinions are about this episode?

I like The Nox, they are awesome, though really dislike the way they were introduced.

Specifically SG-1 "dying" in the most stupid unbelievable way just to show off one of their powers. Yes, I know, lots of "stupid unbelievable" stuff happens in Stargate but most of that still kinda works lol.

Stealth just apparently goes out the window... Jack needs to tranqualize Apophis yet he walks into the open, which should actually work but for some miraculous reason Apophis somehow has a one-time-only sixth sense someone is behind him... There's no way you could say he heard a twig snap with the noise of all the gunfire and staff blasting.

Anyway, Carter then decides, you know what guys, this is an excellent time to just expose myself from cover because my commanding officer was shot and she's supposed to be the brains of the operation lol.

Anyway, it's just a rant, better out than in, just curious to see if I'm alone here or if anyone agrees or can soothe my suspension of disbelief...

Just wrapped up my first watching of Atlantis and I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the little details that show off the multinational nature of the Atlantis expedition, beyond the flag patches. As a Canadian, I instantly recognized the blue of our $5 bill, which had me DeCaprio pointing at the screen.

Took me probably the first season and a half to realize that McKay says Zed P M while everyone else says Zee P M, though in real life I haven't heard anyone say it "Zed" since high school.

Of course my very favourite was Carter commenting on the way McKay and his sister simultaneously said "Sorry". Not as subtle of a detail though, but one I found quite hilarious.

Did anyone else have any moments like that?

Anyways, that is all. On to SGU (though from what I have heard it's not as good as SG-1 or Atlantis.)

Also even if you do remember who he is the context where he's appearing in Watergate is so weird and out left field you still might not recognize him. Like he's a in a Russian uniform, in a freezer in a Russian base. It makes no sense for him to be there and Jack doesn't say his name until a few scenes later, so its easy to just not clock its him.

So my parents have always been pretty into sci-fi and due to that It meant I absorbed star trek & doctor who and stuff like Eurika, The librarians, Buffy, Hell pretty much anything that used to air on the "SYFY" TV channel in the late 2000s & early-mid 2010s via osmosis but one show they always avoided was stargate, It'd always come on after star trek or Eurika but they'd always change the channel the channel claiming it was just bad if I asked why or their opinion on it and as a kid I just took their word on it, my only real exposure to the franchise up to that point had been through roblox of all things and as you can imagine the fan games weren't very developed beyond the use of the portals.

That being said I recently gave the Stargate movie a shot since it was staring me at the face on Amazon Prime 24/7 and while I thought the movie was pretty solid and liked a lot of it's ideas like how it used ancient aliens and forerunner (for lack of a better term) theory for the humans on that alien world and their strange but familiar culture I wanted to know what fans of stargate thought of it or if it's even a good jumping on point because I don't really know the series orders or how it was received by the fandom.
For all I know this movie is either dearly beloved or a betrayal of everything that came before, I know with star trek and it's many generations of movies & series for example there's often heinous debate and fandom scorn over specific series and movies, deep space nine & enterprise being not well liked for example and the JJ Abrams movies being seen as a copy paste of older films.

In anycase I'd like to know the fandom's opinion on it and where I should go from here as I am interested in branching out to the shows

In season 2 left some developing plots i.e the Lucian Alliance attack on earth and the SGC attempt to dial Destiny as to create a supply line. The question is will the new show address these if the intend to keep things canon

Video showing the Gate's dialing sequence and the travel through the gate

Short clip from a free 3D browser game I have been making. Obviously it is supposed to be a fan-made game, not trying to hurt any rights, trademarks etc.

What do you think of the dialing sequence and the travel - obviously different and not so polished, but will it work for now?

Background: I have been working on a 3D browser game engine for some time, and recently I re-purposed it for a new fan project. It will be a single player game with optional co-op mode.

Let me know if you think I can keep this animation!

Hey all! This is a mini painting (4 inch x 4 inch) I made a while back of a Stargate! I knowww there are a few symbols missing… couldn’t fit them all in to that tiny canvas…

Figured we could look at some costume designs this time.
Im open to other episodes or things, to look at, if you want to suggest them.

I just needed to get this out of my head, I see a lovely overlap in how faith based power works in both of these universes (that is Discworld and Stargate universes).

In S2 Sokar uses a particle accelerator to attack the Iris and force Sgc to hand over Apophis.

How come no goauld lords nor other enemies tries this before nor after? It seemed rather effective?

sorry, these are not the communication stones you've been looking for!

Hi all,

Just watched last nights State of the Gate with David, Darren and Jenny Stiven, who works in the industry, and she shared some encouraging information about the campaign's impact.

She stated:

"I know that our campaign had an impact. I know that the campaign guided certain decisions, post-cancellation."

When asked directly whether #SaveStargate contributed to Amazon's mandate that the new Stargate series, now in the hands of Jac Schaeffer, remain in canon with the original TV shows, her answer was simply:

"Yes."

That's pretty significant. It suggests months of campaigning and showing our support for what came before genuinely made a difference. Amazon noticed and has given the hard-line mandate that whatever is to come and whatever Jac chooses to pitch is to be within the TV-universe! Job well done to all! This fanbase is awesome! ❤️

It's something worth remembering going forward. Of course, it's disappointing to say the least that Brad, Joe & Martin aren't involved... But that doesn't mean we should against the new series before we've even seen it, or before anything's green-lit.

We've spent these months, years fighting to bring Stargate back.

Now that there's movement, let's keep that enthusiasm and support alive, give the new team a fair chance, and hopefully, with this news, welcome a new chapter of the universe we all love, and maybe...just maybe.. some of the characters we all love. ❤️

Ill link the video here aswell so you can watch. Around the 42min mark in the video she talks about the campaigns impact, and what I just wrote.

They must of had some crazy numbers of ships to throw at the Ancients.

Considering the Daedelus was pretty effective on its own against hive ships, you'd think Ancient warships with more firepower and far greater numbers would be able handle the Wraith without too much problem.

Of course for plot point purposes they were defeated. But in all practicality from what we know, they shouldn't have. Their technological advantage should have made them near invincible, especially with ZPMs powering their ships, weapons, and defenses.

Or somehow the Wraith were able to scale to a level where they outnumbered them 1000 to 1 or something.

Made these two and figured may as well share them

Started as a thought about why Jonas is using an intar in Shadow play. I always assumed it was something like Jonas going along with the Dr Keiran to the hide out, not wanting to kill anyone 'innocent'. Then it was all revealed to be in the Dr Keiran's head.

According to the gateworld the intar was a hint to the audience that Dr Keiran was imagining it all.

The production not also mention the intar "...is the weapon Jonas carries with him off-world (for the time being)."

But I have no recollection of Jonas ever carrying an intar outside of this scene.

Is that a poorly written note or did I miss the glowing red gun part for most of a series?

Something that annoyed me about the original Stargate series was the lack of depth some factions had. After watching The Blacklist, I did some thinking, and here is an idea for a character/faction that is Lawful Evil/Lawful Neutral.

The SG1 series left many gaps regarding captured technology and the infrastructure of fallen entities like Anubis and Ba'al. For example, when Anubis is 'vanquished', what happened to his infrastructure? It was hinted that Ba'al took over much of his possessions, but then what? We saw the Lucian Alliance become a significant presence, but it mainly seemed like they existed to provide SGC teams with NPCs to shoot at. Here is my idea for a way to introduce a structured antagonist that should be compelling for several seasons, even if they are only in the background.

(Warning to the grammar police, this has not been fully proofread; it is mostly a brain dump of a concept that came to me before I forget it.)

Character Idea: "Raymond" / "Nemo" (Lucian Alliance Faction Leader)

Goal: Establish the leader of a Lucian Alliance faction that operates like a post-WWII New York "Five Families" mob. Governed by a rigid code of conduct and strict contracts, they remain a brutal criminal organization. Despite the sometimes heavy price of their protection, populations under their rule actively prefer this syndicate over the Ori, the Goa'uld, or rival Lucian warlords.

Name: He has no name because he abandoned the name of Baal; he prefers the moniker of 'Raymond' but also uses the moniker 'Nemo,' which he learned during his time on Earth hiding from Baal. I think Raymond would be best for his personal interactions, and Nemo is the person/authority he is accountable to; nobody ever sees 'Nemo.'

Personality: They are an antihero antagonist who takes control over a Lucian Alliance faction. While on Earth, he was influenced by mafia history and mafia-type shows on TV. He modeled his physical persona after an Italian 'Five Families' type character from the 1950s. He has a New York accent that varies in strength depending on context.

History: Engineered as part of Ba'al's secret superior host research using Anubis's super soldier research. Baal wanted to create an artificial Harsesis with superior attributes to replace his clones. One of these prototypes escaped before disposal. This prototype 'failed' because he had memories from both the Goa'uld (Ba'al) and the person that he took over as host. After his escape, he hid on Earth and left a few years after learning of Ba'al's death. The goal is for a character modeled after the persona of Raymond Reddington from "The Blacklist."

When asked about his origins and being Ba'al's successor, he shuts down the conversation quickly and despises anyone who dares compare him to a Goa'uld. He goes out of his way to destroy or undo Goa'uld progress because of the memories he is stuck with, leading him to exterminate any Goa'uld he finds. He despises the Tok'ra for their secrecy and trickery but does not execute them, remembering their accomplishments against the Goa'uld from Ba'al's memories.

Moral Code: My vision for this character is a pragmatic lawful evil character with lawful neutral tendencies. He does not consider himself 'good' or 'moral' and frequently admits to being a criminal. That being said, he follows a strict code of conduct and will abide by contracts or treaties to the letter of what is written.

He considers indiscriminate violence, non-punitive slavery, and destruction of civilians offensive and economically stupid. However, he uses bribery, extortion, blackmail, assassination, smuggling, and other violence to achieve his goals. An internal conflict that could drive this character is his stance on slavery/human trafficking. While he sees human trafficking and non-punitive slavery as heinous crimes, punishable by death, he has no issues sentencing criminals to hard or forced labor to pay for their crimes, even if the labor kills them.

I see where this could lead to him creating a brutal task force to combat human trafficking-type crimes. I think a good origin of this would be late in the story; after seeing a community under his control destroyed by a rival faction that specializes in human trafficking, he creates this task force to combat this. This task force gets a reputation for being ruthless and brutal to traffickers. The kidnapped individuals are returned unharmed or sent to the SGC for treatment.

Age: Physically his body was created around 2006 (depending on timelines) during Baal's cloning experiments post-fall of Anubis; he appears to be late 30s to late 40s; mentally he has many of Baal's memories and cunning with his own experiences mixed in.

Appearance and Style: Prefers tailored dark color three-piece suits with soft Kevlar weave armor underneath when anticipating combat. He carries a blued, single-stack M1911 Government chambered in .45 ACP in a leather shoulder holster.

Later negotiations will push for materials so he can standardize this appearance amongst his forces. "It looks so much nicer than a zatnik'tel, don't you say? ... And 1911 just rolls off the tongue so much easier, unlike the nasty business at hand."

He rarely raises his voice; he prefers quiet negotiation over threats. He frequently opens high-stakes meetings with personal anecdotes or detached observations before cutting to the point. As his anger increases, his diction grows more precise, formal, and quiet. He does not bluff; every threat issued is a promise.

Public Perception:

• Subject Worlds: View him as a protective, strangely benevolent dictator who delivers genuine protection and resources.
• Enemies: Regard him as a cold, unforgiving executioner.
• The SGC: Views him as a high-value wildcard who abides strictly by signed agreements even if he remains hyper-pedantic regarding the exact legalistic definition of every clause.
• The NID: Views him as a security threat. Raymond frequently mocks the NID for their blatant hypocrisy, pointing out that his methods mirror their own off-world black-ops actions.

Plot Ideas: He leaves the Lucian Alliance as his entity due to issues he has with how the alliance runs things. Some of this is due to his morals and part of it is due to his memories of what the SGC does to subversive powers like what the alliance is morphing into. The final straw in this decision is confirmed reports of what the SGC has done to the Wraith and entities that violate treaties with and harass USAF/SGC interests. This character requests a meeting with SGC when conflicts arise with a nation called 'Aschen Protectorate.' He offers resources in exchange for an alliance and non-interference/non-aggression treaty; negotiates trading supplies for three-piece suits, Kevlar gear, and handguns for his crews.

Since I actually like the idea of a full reboot and hardly anyone else on this sub supports that idea, i thought we'd get some actual numbers on what people would prefer.

It seems like we have individual examples of ancients like Ayiana who had healing powers at least. We also know that ancients were 'more evolved' (in the science-fiction sense) and relatively close to biological ascension for a good chunk of their existence. We've also seen random examples of humans who have some of these powers (the people of the cloister and that one man from the Seer episode of Atlantis).

But it seems like a lot of the non-ascended ancients that were actually encountered in Atlantis were...normal? The crew of the Aurora and the crew that the Daedalus rescued from from intergalactic space don't seem to have exhibited any special abilities.
