Someone likes Stargate: Atlantis a little *too* much...

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.

 

Nice.

 

I dunno....I mean, how the heck would you ever be able to show that to anyone without feeling incredibly embarrassed?

 

You say that you won it in a contest.

 

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

 

Freakin' amateur!

 

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

 

Wow, that's cool if you can afford it.

 

Surely the gate must spin for $70k!

 

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?

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!

Here are some other geek-based home theaters.

 

^ Wow! I love both versions of the Enterprise D theme.
