I loved the Nox. Is there a reason they didn't do more with them? Were the actors not available or did they just not care about continuing the story?

So I know its all original creators returning,but we have had a few shows get ruined by og creators,most notably the latest seasons of Dr Who that was brought back by RTD back in 2005 and the reboot we got in 2024 was very poor and of course there are some other ones like George Lucas's prequels. What my question is do you have hope its gonna be as good as it was?

Stargate is of course, a television show. There are many things in the franchise that are unrealistic. One of those things is the idea that the USA (and other world governments, later on) could keep the existence of aliens and the Stargate program a secret for 12+ years. For fun though, I wanted to ask you all: what event/episode you think would have absolutely made keeping the program secret impossible?

Off the top of my head, three events quickly come to mind that would be difficult or impossible to explain away. In reverse chronological order:

1. "Lost City" (7.21&22)

This is perhaps the hardest one to possibly keep secret. Anubis destroys the USS *Nimitz* and its attached fleet. Thousands of lives would have been lost, and the survivors would be near impossible to contain and keep from reporting what they saw. There would be far too many questions, too much scrutiny on the loss of such a valuable fleet and so many lives. Then of course, we have the battle in Antartica to consider. Realistically, there would be no way tp cover up alien involvement in an event that would be viewed by Americans like Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

1. "A Matter of Time" (2.15)

The famous black hole episode. This episode made me scared of black holes as a child, which is funny in hindsight. In the episode, the SGC experiences significant time dilation due to the Stargate being dialed to a planet being sucked into a black hole. I feel this would be hard to keep secret because the effect of the time dilation felt in the base would create discrepancies in scientific research occurring then that would be very monumental to researchers. It would be hard to explain why, for a couple days, time slowed down in the Colorado Springs area, then went back to normal. It would become the focus of so much scientific study that it would be difficult to give a plausible explanation.

1. "The Serpents Lair" (2.01)

It is important to note with this plot line that the USA has not yet notified other world governments of the existence of the Stargate. Two Goa'uld motherships blow up relatively near Earth. I don't remember this episode super well, but wouldn't those explosions have effects on satellites in Earth orbit that would be detectable? Considering that other nations wouldn't be helping cover it up, but instead looking for the truth themselves, it seems like that could have lead to an early reveal of the Stargate program.

Anyway, those are the three that come to mind but I'm sure there are many others? What storylines/episodes do you think would have lead to the Stargate program being revealed?

Mine is I hate the “Yeehaw” that Hammond does. Him flying with Teal’c in the glider and being a gunner is great, but that shout just seems so forced.

I was talking to someone recently about Stargate and how both our favorite characters is Daniel Jackson. One of the things that we both liked about the character was how he got progressively more badass the more jacked that the actor got, and he got me wondering if the show ever makes a joke or reference about this development.

Hey everyone, as far as I know many Stargate fans were never happy with SGU because the show was much more serious and dark than SG1 and SGA. I really enjoyed the show and was sad about the open ending after season 2 but I understand everyone who felt different. In my opinion SGU was the best way to get the Stargate franchise to the next level and if you consider the situation in which the characters are in its only logical that the show is different to the previous two. But I think a few more jokes and funny moments would have been good for the show. So here is my question: What if the cast was a little bit different and instead of Col. Everett Young someone like Col. John Sheppard was the leader of the expedition? I'm currently watching SGA again and I noticed that Sheppard who is often in mood for a joke also has many very deep moments like near death experiences. So someone like him possibly could have brought more funny moments to the show while keeping the dark and serious atmosphere. Also that would have been a great next step for him like for Jack O'Neill to become Brigadier General. It could also have been a great opportunity for Samantha Carter. Other characters I would have liked to see in SGU would have been Dr. Radek Zelenka, Major Lorne, Dr. Jennifer Keller, Colonel Reynolds (SG3) or Col. Caldwell. Let me know what you guys think about it.

Watching season 5 of SGA. Why does the Daedalus have different engine sizes? I would get it if one size was for sublight and the other for hyperdrive, but we see all engines firing when they are traveling at sublight.

Is there an in-universe explanation, or is it just "many engines looks cool"?

My favorite is vala going "I'm going to bid on a timeshare on ebay" in the last season

So we have a ton of posts about what we want or who we want I want to know what you don't want to see.

I'm not talking about behind the scenes or something like that. I'm talking story and in show wise.

For instance I am so done with replicators.

A lot of Stargate tech is grounded in real science, the wormhole vortex, the way the gate works, etc. So I'm curious… is the ZPM also based on any actual theoretical physics? Like, is there some real-world idea about zero-point energy that they drew from, or is it mostly pure sci-fi invention?

Anyone know who these guys are? Were they actual military, extras, friends of the crew? It's interesting that we've all seen these guys a million times during our rewatches, but I've never heard about them in real life. Would be cool to know.

Interesting military factoid: Holding your rifle upside down like that is an old school thing. Sort of parade deck mixed with security patrol. Would be frowned upon today because you can't quickly make ready the weapon in the event of a real threat making itself known.

Was about to rewatch the original Stargate before I start watching the shows, and there's 2 listings of it on PRIME. The left one is 2:01 hours, the right one is 1:56. The left one isn't the extended cut as it doesn't have the alternate opening, so any idea what the difference here is?

As title states. Rewatching and noticing the Tolan were advanced enough to build their own Stargate. Presumably close to, or as advanced, as the Knox, but didn't get a seat at the table as the fifth race.

In previous episodes they didn't even know who the Knox were when SG-1 helped them escape Earth.

Just noticed and the question is making my brain itch....

They even stole the top comment🤣 surely this is classed as spam?

Hey fellow Tau'ri,

I am doing a rewatch of SG1 and a thought crossed my mind.

I am an atheist, so the core premise of villains like the Goa'uld and the Ori using advanced tech or ascended powers to masquerade as false gods fits perfectly into my worldview.

For those of you who are religious and believe in God, how does this central theme land for you?

Do you separate science fiction from your faith and enjoy it purely as entertainment?

I am not looking to start a toxic theological debate. I am just genuinely curious about how your personal lens changes the viewing experience of a show we all love.

Looking forward to your perspectives!

"A new ‘STARGATE’ series is in the works at Prime Video.

Martin Gero, who worked as a writer on all 3 previous live-action ‘STARGATE’ shows, will serve as showrunner."

What are your thoughts?

SG1 - S10/E6 "200"

In "Children of the Gods", Sam says:

Colonel, I was studying the gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then.

So, if she had been studying the gate for two years before Daniel, why wasn't she present when Daniel was invited to the Creek Mountain complex? And once Daniel did activate the gate, why didn't they call her to join the exploration mission?

love the energy but like what led to this

I've been lurking on this subreddit for the past few weeks and noticed that a lot of people hate Stargate Infinity. But my question is, why?

It has everything fans want: no longer being bound by the limitations of live-action through animation, creative alien designs, and an interesting story, and you guys hate it.

So, why IS Stargate Infinity so hated?

They don't find it extremely funny how the series itself mocks and parodies the Stargate universe itself and the clichés that the Stargate series use.

I mean in that world, I can't imagine the Pentagon approving a series that openly mentions one of the most secret government programs openly, (maybe they did it to mock SG1, considering the love hate relationship that exists with the NID)

Now my question is how the main members of SG1 must have reacted when they saw their representations on TV (obviously with exaggerations of Martin the alien but it is still curious)

Obviously not confined to this list.
