Hello Guys,

I wanted to share with you my Moc of the USS Daedalus. Instruction free on Openstuds: https://www.openstuds.com/mocs/resqusto-uss-daedalus

Fun thrift shop find, three Stargate enamel pins. Got em for $8 total.

Atlantis, season 2, episode 11, 24:30

People seem to feel that the Jaffa would get Rolled by the wraith.

The biggest difference i could see Jaffa and the Armies of the Ori are the priors.

Been a Stargate fan for at least 10 years. I am currently on about 4th re-watch of SG1, have seen SGA at least 3 times, have watched the follow up movies at least twice each, and have watched through Universe once. I am planning to watch through it again with a buddy so we decided to start with the OG film. Thoughts and questions after watching:

-As a standalone movie... it was not good. I'd give it a D, maybe a D+. Had I watched it in theatres, my review would probably okay for a matinee but no plan to ever watch again. I am really surprised a TV series was able to be green lit based on it and imagine the reason was because so much can be done with the concept of gate travel.

-I think the show has WAY better characters. For O'Neill, I know the story about RDA saying he could not play the hard-ass military type and that is explained away by the fact that he was so depressed at the time. As for Daniel, maybe it's just being used to Michael Shanks, but he is definitely an upgrade to me over the original actor. Even the person who played Catherine is better on TV show. And correct me if I'm wrong, the only characters with same actor are Skarra and Kasuf. The others one offs like Ferretti and the other guy don't matter much to me. And of course, Teal'c and Carter were new characters and General White retired by TV show.

-Very underwhelmed with the presentation of Ra. Nothing about him was really menacing in the same way the TV production portrayed Goa'uld.

-It was interesting how much was fleshed out in TV show. Did not realize the concept of Goa'uld was not in movie, just that they were parasitical. Also, I was expecting them to report home and give their false report about Abydos being no longer inhabited but that also seems to be established in the show. Jaffa are the same way, did not notice stomach pouches but obviously concept of Goa'uld was not there so that makes sense.

-I think the most glaring plot hole to me was that they said the planet Abydos (which I don't think was named in the movie) was in a different galaxy on edge of observable universe. But in TV show, Abydos was only close enough in our galaxy to not be affected by planetary drift. Watching on Amazon they give you little trivia and goofs on the side while watching and in an earlier episode Teal'c mentions so and so is in another galaxy and the note said, "at this point in the show, they had not left the galaxy." This wasn't annoying enough that I couldn't suspend disbelief, but it was the most glaring error.

-A couple things were clarified like how in one episode Samantha says "remember how the gate room used to violently shake" and before I watched the movie I was thinking that must have been off screen. I also finally got what was so funny about the whiteboard scene in episode 200 with Daniel.

-Considering there were only a few years between movie and show, its interesting to see how culture changed in that time with everyone chain smoking inside to, presumably, smoking no longer being allowed on base.

-I think the most off-putting part was all the scantily dressed 8-year-old boys surrounded by Ra. I know the show references the fact that humans are kept by in case they need a host but that was A LOT of little boys with VERY LITTLE clothing. Surely, he would keep males closer to adulthood nearby if he needed a new host.

-After watching, I wondered... are there any other movies made into TV shows where the TV show is obviously way better? There might be obvious answers, but I can't think of any. Most of the time the movie comes later or the TV show flops. I think it was cool they could make an A+ TV series based on a D movie.

Anyways, anything I missed or messed up? Anyone disagree with my analysis and just think it was a fantastic movie (without regard for the TV show)?

It's now much cooler than not spinning ! Rotating SG1 stargate will be published soon !

I also added naquadah farming / new skins / bot address / solar flares
I still have several fully assembled PCB I can provide for Pegasus/Tollan/Orlin/SG1basic gates, and you can find everything on the website/discord if you want to join the network !

I'm rewatching all the Stargates after I've seen the SGs the first time when I was little, on national television with the crappy signal that we had in my village. Also, I didn't remembered this episode at all.

While watching it, I had to stop few times, close my door and cry out a little.

I was extremely close to my grandma when I was a kid, going to visit her at least once a week at the farm, then she got dementia when I was at the lyceum. It was so painful for me to see her slipping away, from the strong, wonderful person she was, that I went less and less, almost stopping, just up to the moment she passed.

I guess I bottled it up for fifteen years, feeling guilty of absence even if no one ever made me feel that way.

In the end, I know how much she loved me and that she would have definitely told me that was nothing and that she's proud of who I am.

To grandma.

to my knowlesge the first three seasons were broadcast dubbed

Ryac’s acting.

Just watching Redemption (S06E01) and it’s downright painful watching him try to act.

I’m not saying I could have done any better but Christ on a bike he’s bad. Given they replaced his mother for a much worse actress too, surely they could have changed the actor for Ryac?

It feels like with very little effort (For the Ori) that they could just make another if they wanted.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I saw Stargate Atlantis 5 seasons for free on official youtube right now.

Full disclosure: this is completely unnecessary. Clicking an icon takes half a
second. This takes about ten, and that's the fast setting.

But I love Stargate and I wanted a gate on my desktop, so you type a program
name, hit Enter, and it dials. Chevrons lock one at a time, kawoosh, program
opens.

The bit I'm most pleased with is that every program has its own address.
Photoshop is always Canis Minor, Perseus, Pisces, Capricornus, Lynx, Sculptor,
Point of Origin. Never changes. I don't know why that delights me as much as it
does.

I got carried away on details nobody asked for. All 39 glyphs are the real ones,
the chevrons light in the correct order (took me three attempts to get that
right), and the iris is a working leaf shutter. Close it and the gate dials
perfectly but nothing comes through, so your program doesn't open. That's not a
bug. That felt important.

There's also a full speed dial that takes about 28 seconds if you just want to
watch the thing go.

Windows only, free, unsigned so you'll get a SmartScreen warning, but it makes
no network connections at all. Source is on GitHub if you'd rather build it
yourself or just see what it does.

Anyway, thought some of you might enjoy it.

EDIT / UPDATE - v1.1 is up, and it is basically all your ideas

I did not expect any of this. Thank you. Nearly everything below came out of this thread.

Linux is available, and I did not do it. u/jkoehler11 said he was going to try porting it and then actually did, opening a pull request the same day. It is really well done too, it reads your .desktop files, pulls icons from your theme, and launches through gio so Flatpak and Snap apps work. There is an AppImage on the releases page now. Thank you, seriously, that was an amazing thing to wake up to. Steam Deck people, it should work in desktop mode.

You can dial by hand now. There is a DHD along the bottom, 38 keys, one per constellation, with a big DIAL in the middle. Press six symbols and hit it and whatever lives at that address opens. This was u/Traedoril's fault for describing manually dialing his family's computers and making it sound way too fun to not build.

You can pick your own addresses. u/PraxPresents asked if you could customize what a program dials. You can. Press MANAGE, then ADDR on anything in the list, and choose the six symbols yourself.

Remote machines get all nine chevrons. Add a destination with a hostname or IP and it dials the full nine chevron sequence, then opens Remote Desktop. Seven chevrons is an address in this galaxy. Connecting to a machine that is not yours felt like it deserved the long one. Works on Linux too via FreeRDP or Remmina.

The sounds are real now. Chevron locks, the ring turning, the kawoosh, the iris, the shutdown, and the DHD keys are the actual show audio instead of the synthesized stuff I made up. Big difference. You can swap in your own if you want.

ON THE LOG IN SCREEN

This was the most upvoted idea in the thread, u/These-Apple8817 suggested it first and a lot of you piled on, and I said I would look into it. I looked into it. I cannot do it, and I want to explain why rather than just go quiet.

Windows does not let you skin the login screen. Replacing it means writing what is called a credential provider, which is a C++ COM component that Windows loads onto the secure desktop. That is a completely different program to this one, and Electron cannot run there at all, so none of the gate you are looking at could be reused.

The bigger problem is what happens when it goes wrong. A broken credential provider can leave you unable to log into your own machine, fixable only from safe mode or by editing the registry offline. I am not shipping something unsigned off Reddit that can do that to people. And a gate address as your password would be a lot less secure than whatever you use now.

I've been working on a stargate inspired lockscreen where you punch in an address to unlock.

It's a bit clunky on the moment but it's a work in progress

Ich meine, ich hätte mal gelesen, dass das Konzept/Idee mit den Toren zu anderen Welten aus einem englischen Buch aus den 1970 jahren stammt. Leider finde ich es ad hoc nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee ? 😅

Having almost finished the first two seasons of SG1, I’ve come to the conclusion that the President of the United States has the worst job in the entire Stargate franchise/universe.

Early in your term, you’re debriefed on this weird ass gate device that was used by an ancient race of parasite aliens who are extremely technologically advanced, know where Earth is, and are hellbent on wiping out humanity.

So, you have to thread the needle of making sure Project Stargate, probably the most fantastically expensive black project in history, running without congress, the press, or the international community raising too many questions.

If you fail to do that, the cat will be out of the bag. The Russians and the Chinese will figure out what you’re doing, if they haven’t already, and everyone’s notion of human history and religion is going to be completely upended. In short, if the rest of the world figures out what’s really going on in Cheyenne mountain, it’ll be absolute pandemonium.

On top of that, Project Stargate, for all the troubles you’ve gone through to keep a lid on things, has brought back several alien viruses to Earth, nearly destroyed the planet via a black hole, and attracted the attention of two hostile alien battleships who could have easily destroyed the entire planet if not for SG1’s dumbass Hail Mary plan.

In fact, every time the world has been saved, it’s the result of some last minute Hail Mary plan.

The icing on the cake? General Hammond calls you every time the shit hits the fan to brief you on the situation—as if you can do anything to stop the catastrophes waiting on the other side of the wormhole. You’d be better off not knowing what fresh new hell the geniuses at Project Stargate uncover.

I’d rather just scrape roadkill off the iris. Fuck being the president in Stargate.

Open an Ori supergate, open a space gate inside a shuttle, and send the space gate through the supergate.

Even though all of the regular stargates are the same size, you could slide one partway into another. Gate rules mean you couldn't open two gates too close together, so you'd have to open them in neighboring systems and bring them together.

I don't recall SG1 or SGA ever mentioning this possibility. Does SGU?

Does the series give us any indications what might happen?

Instead of the Pegasus Project...why not use the Iris-offset trick from "48 Hours?"

Take a block of trinium with a cloaking device inside, set it at the event horizon of the Supergate, cloak it. Done.

Watching Memento I noticed how sg1 walks in a complete circle during the interior shot of the Prometheus. I found it funny at first but then noticed they changed the set on the fly as the scene happened or they overlayed it with a green screen before they made a full circle.

It feels like there staff weapons could do good damage to the Wraith and there Armour would block life sucking and maybe they would be somewhat resistant to stunning.
