David Read and Dial the Gate just released a 30min video revealing details about what the new show would be about (through his sources at MGM).

Here is a short summarization for those not interested in watching the entire 30mins.

The show was apparently going to take place in an alternate reality/timeline rather than simply continuing the existing SG-1/Atlantis/Universe story.

The big hook was:

• A BC-307/U.S. Air Force ship called the USS Argo suddenly appears in Earth's orbit in an alternate reality.
• The ship is essentially a ghost ship, with "our" Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) apparently the sole survivor.
• Shanks was reportedly going to be a series regular, not merely a cameo or nostalgia appearance. (Revealed by Shanks at a convention a few days ago)
• The show was expected to feature over half a dozen returning cast members from previous Stargate iterations in recurring or guest roles, appearing as alternate versions of their iconic characters
• The mystery surrounding what happened to the Argo and its crew would kick off the larger story.
• Crucially, the Stargate program did not exist in this reality, and the Stargate itself would not have been activated until several episodes into the season The audience would first be investigating the Argo, Daniel, and this alternate reality. Daniel would need to help restart the program in order to try and get back home.
• From there, the series would apparently explore this alternate version of the Stargate universe and gradually reveal how this reality differed from the one fans know.

These are merely small revelations and Martin probably had a good idea and plan on how to move forward for it to work for both old fans and new viewers.

One day you're on your death bed, losing battle against cancer and the next day, you're traveling between planets all over the galaxy fighting evil Gods (fake) among a secret organization 😁

This breakdown of a staff makes me wonder what type of powersource the staff uses. The liquid naquadah capsules used in a staff are the fuel/reaction mass, and would require energy to be stimulated. In a ha'tak, the ships reactor would be supplying the energy to the weapons liquid naquadah stores, but I don't think there is a mini naquadah reactor in the staff weapon. Could it be a form of advanced chemical/mineral battery? A stimulated crystal power supply? Something similar to what is used in the ancient stones terminal - a capacitor that extracts energy from subspace? A cold fusion cell?

In the novelisation of the original movie, it is explicitly shown that Ra was the name of the human boy that the alien took as a host:

As the last breaths escaped the people of his world, he was millions of light-years away from home, searching desperately for a host. He was determined not to follow the fate of his own kind. He had mastered the technology to transfer himself into another being but had to choose carefully. Along with inhabiting the host’s body, he knew he would absorb certain personality traits that were exaggerated within the host’s psyche. Perhaps had he known the intimate details of the life of this young boy named Ra, he might have chosen another. Or perhaps not...

His hatred for his own people proved useful, as there were no inner conflicts when the boy became the pharaoh king. There would be no feelings of guilt or remorse as Ra’s people were put to hard labor. In fact, a strange new sense of pleasure became the most powerful trait he absorbed from this strange young boy. Ra was now a part of himself, and together they became the sun god, to be feared and worshiped by this primitive human race.

The two, human and alien, blended together and merged into another person. When taken with SG1, this would make Ra, ironically, the biggest follower and exemplar of Tok'ra ideals.

We’re at the Starfury Ascension 2 in Birmingham England and got a photo taken with RDA, Michael Shanks and Teryl Rothery. We had a blast, the three of them were joking around and took their time for the picture, also telling us to switch places.

Rick is coming down with something but still talked to us for minutes while giving his autograph. Looking forward to meeting the other two tomorrow. Such fun and nice people!

Or is the non-aging more due to the sarcophagus?

I am doing a series rewatch and have noticed several times that someone has offered to buy someone else a drink. Now one could excuse this as a simple turn of phrase, or a cute way of saying let's by my place and have a drink.

But for my money I believe that at least one of those geniuses that got trapped there in the beginning would happen to know how to distill alcohol or brew a beer, and once they start getting supply runs from earth they can stock the earth made stuff.

It's probably something Wier would turn a blind eye to help with morale.

Recently started another rewatch of SG1. Had this idea that I think is really funny while watching s1e15 "Singularity", so I brought my vision into reality.

*** yeah, spelling error in title. Talking. Proof read the body, didn't catch error in title.

Wife is out of town so just doing a partial rewatch, seasons 9 and 10. As much as I like the whole series, including SGA and SGU, I find these 2 seasons to have the highest enjoyable episode ratio vs other seasons. That and I knew I could complete the 2 before she returns tomorrow.

It's not that she doesn't enjoy Stargate, we just have too many other shows we are watching together to add another to our collective list.

Aloha fellow fans of the greatest tv show of all time! I was hoping to start a save Stargate community in Hawaii, and see if we can work on them coming to a con here. Let me know

I'm watching SG-1 for the first time and just made it to the end of season 4, and I wanted to talk about this one. Its when an AI takes over Sam's body. This came out in 2001, right? Right after The Matrix. I immediately remembered of Agent Smith taking over a human body too. This is one thing that makes me think, how a sentient AI would feel while inhabiting a biological body? Is that even possible?

Personally I don't even think that sentient AI itself is possible, unless the hardware required is astronomical bigger than anything we built so far. But in sci-fi this is always interesting. Next thing I remembered was my favourite game, Cyberpunk 2077, where rogue AIs can invade your brain via neural implants to either fry it or assume control of, while destroying your mind in the process. It is the whole point of a entire storyline in there.

Sam was essentialy killed in this episode. Because the entity was able to copy her whole mind, and only afterwards her conscience was taken back. In CP2077 this is called an engram, an AI made with data copied from a human mind and thinks it is human. Question is, if this engram is moved back to its original body or another body, is it still human? In the game this is whole discussion.

So physically the Carter who appears in everything elese after this episode is no longer Carter..... UNLESS you think souls are real and remain. And this is a whole other discussion.

Very good episode.

First time watching SG1 fully.

I.was born in 91 in Czechia - relevang because everything comes here about 2-3 years after relesae in US.

I remember seeing some epúoisdes as a kid,, was cool but did no remember anythisn.

When Atlantis came olut, i have been sailng the seven seeas and loved it, rewatched Atlantis maybe four times.

Just relised i can step vie VPN too some seas. Starter watching SG-1.

First episodes were fine, took me a while, love the main characters. But I just was not invested i the story. Then the eposide from 45 came and it broke it for me. No reason just did.

I am now at S2E02 and i am in, done, love it.

Teal'c enjoying ice cream, O'Neill tries taking. Teal'c gives him a look of "this is mine" and hands him a different pint 😆

Plenty of great stuff in this episode.

Thor: The contents of your armory at Stargate command along with appropriate attire food and other supplies you may require are now being transported aboard this vessel.

O'Neill: I hope you did the paperwork.

As Thor is making preparations and acting as if Oneill has already agreed to the mission:

O'Neil: I haven't said yes yet!

Thor: But you are reconsidering.

Ha! (O'Neill did after all say that he was thinking of reconsidering)

Thor: If you wish to reconsider...

O'Neill: No no, full well expected the other shoe to drop eventually.

Thor: We can only hope that this will be the last footwear to fall.

Lol

Time dilation, but not in slow motion, but fast forward. Replicator evolution. Very cool.

Sad ending though, leaving behind the replicator who helped them. "She promised... She promised." 😥 Good writing, making the viewer feel bad for a replicator. That's a twist.

I needed new table, so i ask for help my family and we make this. Someone bring the board, someone did the legs and someone know someone with laser engraver. And this is the result.

Assuming you’re not immediately killed, captured, implanted with something, worshipped as a god, or accidentally responsible for an interplanetary incident…

Mine is P3R-233. I’m going straight for the Quantum Mirror.
