I kid. This is actually kind of cool, if pricey. From Gizmodo: Read the whole thing here. I noticed he used the Milky Way glyphs, though.
I dunno....I mean, how the heck would you ever be able to show that to anyone without feeling incredibly embarrassed?
That rectangular screen inside the gate just doesn't look right though. I suppose you could brag about having so much money that you could blow 70K on something as goofy as this.
Maybe he has a huge penis and it compensates for him being such a fanboy that other fans turn away and snigger
I think with the blue lighting that set design and atmosphere blows away any Atlantis set designs they used in the real show! I could imagine an Ancient city ship with a gate in a big room like that with a huge window in the ceiling and the stars above flying out in deep space Atlantis should have been lighted like that image above
Aside from the Stargate designs, it's a typical home theater. As the field inspector for the assessor's office in a township with plenty of high priced properties, I've seen quite a few. Quite often one of the builders would ask me "so ..., how high are the taxes on a place like this?' and my standard response would be "more than my annual salary!"
You need to learn to embrace your inner nerd a little more. I would show that thing off in a heartbeat!
I don't think Lindley has any problem showing off his inner nerd. I'm sure it's the inner nerd that's embarassed--after all it's Stargate Atlantis. Which ruins the rather witless remark I was going to make in this thread: Wait, somebody else bought season five, too? I know, I know, low blow...
Dorky...but fraking cool as all hell. Even without the gate, that's make a great sci-fi room for gaming.
I happened to like Season 5! I thought the show was finally getting back on track, and then it went away.
I thought 4 was the weakest, but that 5 front-loaded a lot of poor episodes, so it seemed a little worse than it was. I'd say season 2 was probably the high-point, though. Also, if you took out the stargate, and the boxy puddle-jumper-cockpit panels on the wall, it does have a kind of cool star-trek-meets-medditerranian look to it. I like the door and frame, especially.
That's pretty darn cool, actually. Wonder if the 'gate has an iris that closes when you're not watching TV. I mean, you'd expect something like that for 70 grand, right? Sean
Now I want to have a lot of money so I can make a home theater than looks like the Enterprise bridge. Ooh, with the remote in the arm of the Captain's chair!
