Actually, all those ships, in the show, were built by the USAF. The X-302's were based of the death glider design - but are designed with thier own hyperspace drives, and the X-303 was an original build. There are several episodes covering the X-303's exploits.

Stargate Atlantis is based entirely off-world in another galaxy. There is a lot more information at http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/index.shtml

What about that ship, the Prometheus?
How they got it, who built it?

The USAF built it. They got a bit of tech from the Asgard, and plenty of stuff stolen from the Goa'uld over the years to reverse engineer.

Whomever runs that site needs to take some lessons in interface design... sheesh!

I am watching Star Gate now.
It's the episode with the Russian Gate and the Mini-Sub.
They know more about the US Star Gate program than SG1 can remember.

Well we have had the season 8 premier of SG 1 and the new seires preimer of SG Atlantis. Both were good, with the SGA being really good.

I have to say the writing for this new show was very good. I especially enjoyed the conversation between the Wraith women/thing and Patric. Very spine chilling to say the least.

"You can go to hell!"
"Earth First."

SGA I think has a great cast and a very interesting idea. Although they did use a couple of my old ideas, great minds think alike, genetically coded controls, and mind activated equipment.

I wrote a story four or five years ago and posted it on the old TOP forum about a boy who finds a space ship that has been hidden on earth for sixty thousand years and despite all the humans that came near it, it only revieled itself to the boy because he had the "gene" that marked him as one of the decendants of the original crew. A concept that I was going to use in OUTS. The second was to think of doing something and the controls respond. Ohhhhh I often wonder why it is that my ideas are shared by so many. Over population I guess, with more people, fewer original ideas.

Needless to say, it was a good premier.

I really enjoyed SGA, I think it will be a promising series. The only problem I had with it is that they didn't bring a nuke. In the movie, when they were jumping into the far unkown, they brought the nuke. But if they brought the nuke and nuked the alien ship I guess there wouldn't be much of a series would there. Lesson learned: always bring your nukes =)

Hey AT, what channel did you watch it on, and do you know when they'll be on again?? I haven't seen them yet, and really want to! Then again, the channels will probably be different in the US and Canada...

The premiere episode of Stargate Atlantis in Canada will air this comming Monday on the Movie Network.

Between that, and news that the new Battlestar Galactica series will be comming next year, made my month!

Sheridan from Babylon 5 always lived by this motto.

As for Stargate Atlantis i don't know if i'll watch it, it won't be showing here for a while anyway. I'll probably give it a chance but i doubt it will ever top SG1. That said i am looking forward to the 8th season

I watched it on channel 244 of Direct TV, the Sci-Fi Channel. I hope they have an encore performance of it.
