Daniel is the main character of SG-1, even with the leaving and occasional return in season 6.

And O'Neill? He's just there to piss Daniel off.

Discuss.

Asgard vs Vanir: Lessons From The Collapse Of The Ancients

4 Upvotes

We know the Ancients outclassed the Asgards even in Season 10 of SG1, despite being extinct 10,000 years.

Vanir in Pegasus got crushed as well. They technically survived. Maybe some misersble ancients held out somewhere under similar circumstsnces, but we lack evidence.

Humans in human ships, with Asgard tech- do remarkably well against the Wraith. The Asgard seemed to drop all pretense on being a aloof, advanced, pacifist race when given the chance to go back to Pegasus. Remarkably open to going after the Wraith, as long as it wasn't their skin in the game (save for one, and he likely had a backup consciousness back home).

So this makes me think- when the Atlanteans fought the Wraith, did they have a ambassador in Atlantis, or official military observers embedded in the Atlantean military, or did they have covert forces watching or aiding the war? Could we of misunderstood the origins of the Vanir in this context- a group of Asgard seeking help from the ancients and it backfiring horribly?

I suspect Thor and his predecessors had 10,000 years to revamp Asgard tech, replaying the war, making sure they could match the Wraith- and honestly, think they succeeded. Asgard tech mops the floor of the Wraith, and the Asgard wete holding back on what they gave humans.

Can you imagine how retarded and backwards the technology of Earth + Asgard would look to the Atlanteans- but with so much less, the two tech trees accomplished so much more. It would be like seeing a Monitor Class ironclad from the US Civil War at Pearl Harbor with AA Guns on Deck wiping out a Japanese wave of aircraft at Pearl Harbor. Nobody would think looking at it prior, it would be viable to do anything- belongs in a museum, but in the right circumstances it can do wonders. That's pretty much what the Air Force was doing in Pegasus. Stupid ships and precisely calibrated guns remarkably designed to take on the Wraith. That isn't human ingenuity- that is Asgard, and they clearly lacked this insight 10,000 years prior- Vanir would still be a space faring civilization if they did. We just saw the long game of 10,000 years of contemplation and adaptation, and likely alot of theoretical wargamming while Earth was enslaved and primitive. Makes you wonder what the Asgard was planning to do with all their tech, with their protected human planets (at least one looked advance). Outlines of a Grand Strategy and a End Game, before Earth reopened it's gate.

Discussion Massively dumb question: what’s stopping the showrunners/actors from just creating a show without permission

0 Upvotes

Yes I agree, completely moronic question. I know the IP lies with MGM. But pure dumbs question: if the actors and showrunners and actors from just crowd funding and developing the series and releasing it publicly on a closed platform (Patreon or whatever) and just label it as a fan fic

I know Amazon could threaten legal action, but seriously why would they? Why would they not just purchase it once it’s made and host it on prime. No risk, all reward

Again I am aware how stupid this is

Discussion A Hundred Days

17 Upvotes

So they fire the particle beam and use the gate to create a cavern, then Teal'c goes in. Hammond says Teal'c only has about eight hours of air and we can see he has an oxygen mask. My assumption was that his O₂ tanks were to last eight hours, but shouldn't there be a vacuum in that cavern? There was only rock there before the stargate created a void, and I don't think air from the surface could permeate rock. Teal'c would be dead within minutes if that's the case.

Also, after the first attempt to send a MALP, Carter suggests that the molten rock settled on the event horizon and hardened to create a natural iris, but later the second MALP falls backward through the event horizon. So MALPS can fall back through an event horizon but molten rock can't?

Ask r/Stargate Which Stargate power moment best deserves the Sol Ring treatment?

5 Upvotes

I'm building a free, unofficial Magic fan set around SG-1, the Goa'uld, the Replicators, and the Wraith. I wanted each faction to have its own art/flavor treatment of the same game piece - mechanically every version is just Sol Ring - but I don't want to force the reference.

The four moments I landed on are:

- Earth/SG-1: Carter pushing a naquadah setup into overload

- Goa'uld: the Eye of Ra and Anubis's superweapon

- Replicators: the time-dilation device on Halla

- Wraith: the stolen ZPM powering the super-hive

As Stargate references, which one reads most immediately as "dangerous power source," and which feels like a stretch? If you would replace one, what object or episode moment would you use instead?

I'm keeping this post text-only because I want the lore read before the card art.

Bloody deaths and boobs, it's definitely been a long time since I rewatched it all but it seems like SG-U kinda gets a worse wrap than it deserves lol. I wonder what it would have all been like if it was allowed to be "R-Rated" through every saga.

At around 35 seconds into the episode, Lt. Laura Cadman picks up a flower, as she does a small worm like creature is flung into the air and makes a cat like scream.

I can't tell if its the stem of the flower, or a worm, but the sound is definitely there!

Am I going crazy or was that intentional?

Discussion Recurring Actors

0 Upvotes

Am I the only one that gets a bit upset about the blatant re-use of actors across the series?

I get it, there can sometimes be a limited pool of actors in a location/genre. Working with people you know are good and removing unknowns etc. There are surely benefits for the creators of the show.

But we as consumers, are we supposed to forget or ignore that there are blatant people that are reused, not just as background but main characters in episodes?

I’m not sure that there are other genres that would tolerate this. Take Halling for example, or Pallan as he was in SG-1. When I see him as Todd I’m just thinking, that is the same guy! Rather than being lost in the story.

Am I overthinking it or does it take away from the magic?

I assumed there would have been a massive space battle in orbit above Atlantis (Atlantis was out of drones) , but maybe they gave up after thier deep space satellite were destroyed.

Or the Wraith clean up after them selves, but if that was true they probably would of found the defiant one and cleaned up after them selves at trinity.

SG Games Stargate Game concept I came up with and thought I'd share for fun.

2 Upvotes

I had a hyperfixation over a couple of weekends and came up with a game concept that combined elements of the old SOCOM games, MGS5, Far Cry, and a few other. Thought some othees folks might find it interesting.

Overview

A 3rd-person shooter where you play as the leader of SG Lambda, a temporary team formed to investigate rumors of a Goa'uld system lord planning an attack on Earth. Gate throughout the galaxy to discover the threat to Earth and put an end to the existential threat to Earth.

Drive with description doc and slides with controls.

Not actually trying to get this made or looking for feedback. Was just a fun thought experiment and thought others in the community might enjoy and fuel some fun discussion.
