Any Fellow Stargate Fans Here?

Well there was nothibg that would make showrunners and writers telling the that these measures were not invent3d by tge ancients as well, I mean who said that a Mile was 5280 feet to start with? I'm living in a metric world, but the word 'mile' would tell me at fist that its 1000 of a unit (from the latin languages wich, in french would be said the same way as one thousand (or Mille, e.g.). It would've been easy to demonstrate that imperial measurements would may be have been invented by the ancients and carried over all this time and the name of the units changed, but their value didn't.

Also in season 10 in camelot, Daniel and Teal'c had to solve a puzzle where the digits 0 through 9 were shown, but mirrored on top, once Daniel figured that they were numbers that we used everyday.. we could the retcon that our udual numbers were invented by the ancients...

What if one skipped ahead to the last paragraph? Not saying I dead, but hypothetically, if one were to, what would that say about them?

Woah woah woah!!!

I do not have the official diameter of the gizeh gate there, but maybe a humvee or maybe an APC could go through? I mean puddle jumpers seems to have a lot of room and are able to go through gates..

In the novelverse that's what happened. They sent tanks and trucks to Abydos, and just blasted out the interior of the Abydos pyramid so they could create a path out of there. At the end of the first book there's something like over a thousand troops on Abydos.

Is the novelverse canon to the series or the movie or non canon?

It's a sequel to the film only.

I miss Stargate. I loved SG1 and Atlantis. I enjoyed them much more than the Trek of the time (Voyager and Enterprise). Universe was a struggle because it was basically Stargate cosplaying as BSG and the characters weren’t all that appealing, although it did pick up just in time to be cancelled.

Given how absolutely every IP imaginable seems to have been rebooted or resurrected the past decade or so, usually with mixed results, I’m amazed they’ve never done anything with SG other than that web series that’s best ignored. Mind you, I’m not confident they’d manage to recapture the magic, so maybe it’s for the best.

A continuation started rolling in 2019, but the pandemic and then MGM's purchase by Amazon knocked it off-track.

I actually remember watching Stargate and the first few episodes of Stargate SG-1 on DVD as a teen. However, though my heart firmly belongs to Star Trek, Red Dwarf and Doctor Who for live-action science fiction TV, you know damn well I'll be buying the new Blu-ray of Stargate as its tied with Universal Soldier as Roland Emmerich's best films by a landslide. And also maaaybe use Amazon Prime to watch SG-1 one of these days?

I dunno man, the movie and SG-1 are all I care about. Of the spin-offs, Atlantis is meant to be good (I'd check out the first season if only for "The Storm and The Eye"), and Universe and Origins are meant to be total crap (well, crap for the first season in the former's case because season 2 is regarded as pretty good, not unlike the later Star Trek Picard which is regarded as utterly terrible in seasons 1 and 2 and good in the third).

I'd like to see the ship sail on Stargate TV series revivals/continuations.

Richard Dean Anderson was main the draw. He's 75 years old now, and looks like a cross between Jim Gaffigan and a tired slow version of William Shatner -- he's not aged well. As well as multiple reported health issues. And he retired.

Taking a look at the main cast as they are today, only Christopher Judge is looking still good (60 years old).

They already eliminated the big bad (and after multiple seasons and a TV movie to finish it off), it was about time.

Then they got another big bad, and finished that arc as well.

Enough is enough for me, personally. I'm tied of them having one big bad after another.


What is still viable, though, is "Stargate: Universe", because it never concluded, we didn't know where they were going, what was going to happen, who'd they encounter. Resolution would be nice.
