AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around questions about the mechanics and logic of the Stargate system in the TV series "Stargate SG-1." Key inquiries include why six symbols are needed for navigation instead of fewer, the advantages of the symbol system over traditional coordinates, and the consistency of constellation symbols across different Stargates despite their alien origins. Participants also ponder the historical accuracy of the constellations used, given that the Ancients created the Stargates millions of years before humanity existed. The conversation highlights both the enjoyment of the series and the complexities of its fictional universe, emphasizing the blend of science fiction with real-world astronomical concepts.

FYI, from our old friend selfAdjoint:

While I'm on SG1 I want to express one beef: they show the mouth of a wormhole (their signature image) as a disk. It would be a sphere, like one of those garden reflecting spheres. Pictures in pop science show a disk because they have suppressed one dimension to make a clear image.

Hmmm, from the movie, it was an alien that was dying and he came to Earth and took over the body of a young Egyptian boy. He was a lone alien, no other of his kind. It didn't get into any other history. I guess they had to flesh it out more for the tv series.

Ra WAS the last of his race! remember at the end when the bomb went off? he wasnt a goa'uld, he was a weird alien that looked a lot like an asgard.

Uh yeah he was goa'uld, but controlling an Asgard. Still I think most of the stuff in the movie are non canon.

he wasnt a goa'uld! goa'uld can't have two hosts at once! his human body disintigrated and you saw an asgard looking thing with sharp teeth. there was no little snake jumping from the human body to an asgard (that would've had to appeared out of nowhere)!

What are you getting all excited about? You are right. He was not a Goa'uld, because the Goa'uld had not been invented yet and had nothing to do with this movie whatsoever (edit: and neither did the Asgard). They were created by the creators of the television show Stargate SG-1 which came well after the movie Stargate. I think the television show, although being inspired from the movie, was not meant to be a direct continuation of the storyline in the movie (because the writers felt free both to contradict its events and to diverge from it as they saw fit).

Blenton probably just didn't know that. That is no reason to freak out on him though. What I want to know is, why have you resurrected a thread that has been dead for more than a year? Also, why is your post count 0 even though you have posted three times in this thread alone? Have you been banned or something?

Srry didn't notice the date.
Srry about getting excited too.
My post count is probably 0 because I just subscribed.

His post count is zero because posts in GD don't count towards that.

Despite the lack of a head-on attack, many skirmishes and bloody battles raged on for several centuries and, somehow, Ra found himself leaving his Unas host in order to take the body of the Asgard Famrir. However, the Asgard physiology began to reject Ra. Worse, in 9,177 BC, he was injured in a battle with the Asgard. Fleeing his Asgard pursuers, Ra found a lush world in an alien system; Earth.

Within the movie, when Ra became angry the outline of his original alien humanoid form could be seen within the host. This portion is contradicted by Stargate SG-1, where the true Goa'uld is a serpent-like creature which occupies the brain stem in order to control the host. The contradiction is not addressed in the series, but assumed by many fans to simply be artistic license.

There.
