"Stargate SG1" Questions

CaptainBarbosa

I love Stargate, so much that I even made a 3D computer model of the gate.:D

The reason I think they went to one set of symbols for the TV series is to avoid having to discover the local coordinates for earth on EVERY single planet they go to.

Some 'symbols' seem to be representations of constellations, others of the essence of the planet (one moon/sun over the 'pyramid' for earth, three over Abydos, etc)---that's one funny thing I've thought about the symbols---if it takes six to fix a planet---and each one six actually represents another planet (?) maybe that could be how? far away--hmmm-----oh, well---I just keep telling myself, "it's only a movie, it's only a movie, ..."

and---NICE image, there, captain! (arrgg!)

There are actually several differences between the movie and the shows, not just this one discrepancy in gate workings. One obvious one is the personality of Kurt Russel's O'Neil and Richard Dean Anderson's O'Neill. Though, this one is easily explained by the fact that O'Neil was depressed at the time the movie took place. If your bored, this Wiki Article has a list of a lot of the differences:

Yeah, that O'neil only had 1 'L'. No sense of humor. :D

Kudos if you just got that.;)

G01

That's O'Neill....TWO L's! (Is it sad that I remember this quote?)

Stargate the MOVIE is on the Sci-Fi channel at 7pm central time. We can settle this once and for all. If I'm the only watching, I win by default.

rewebster

That sounds like a bet----and if I win?

Evo

rewebster

<double-spit> I don't get the scifi channel <plus a groin scratch>

Evo

So, wut yer saying, is that Evo's gunna win this bet. <hack> (nails spitoon)

Evo

Evo

I have my note pad and pencil.

rewebster

can ya stay awake until about 8:30?


are you going to draw a circle with the pencil around the symbol on the TV screen when the boy writes the symbol on the wall?---(the note pad doesn't make good tissue to cry into)

Evo

Rat Bastages, TV guide wasn't correct, the movie started at 6:30, but I tuned in just before they went through the stargate, but I wanted to see the symbols on the earth side first.
