OT: Stargate

In the US network television seems to delight in creating a sci-fi show and then placing it opposite another sci-fi show on the same night, so that an already limited audience is split on which to watch (and keep going for another season).

The great thing about stargate sg1 is that it is produced in Vancouver BC. That is only about an 8 hour drive from here.

It amazes me that they have come up with so many excellent stories over the years, and how each story often ties in with another one.

SPOILER

I am saddend at the death of Dr. Fraiser at the hands of the guled, but I guess that is to be expected at one point or another. The killing off of a popular character.

I would like to see more episodes with Jonus Quin (sp) in them even though he is back on his home world.

I recent bough season six on dvd and I have to say that there were many fine eposides in that season.

I do however feel the season finally should have been two hours long and had a lot more depth to it. Not really there fault as they thought the show was over.

I will enjoy the new stargate spin off and I hope that we get to see the Promethius again in both shows. For an ugly ship, it sure is beautifull.

I missed how they got this ship. I wonder how they managed to get their hands in such an awesome ship. And they even have death-gliders now, when I remember rather clearly that O'neil and Teal'c almost got space-cooled the Last time they tried to fly one of those gliders.
Obviously, I have missed several episodes.

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!
