just wondering if there are any fans of the stargate shows on GW.
for those who dont know, or are intrested, the Stargate shows are based on the 1994 movie by the same name. its ur basic sci-fi alien show, except it doesn't involve starcruisers and the aliens acutally look like aliens, not like humans with fucked up faces and pointy ears.
The basic story is that, thousands of years ago an alien species (parasitic worms/snakes) stumbled upon teh earth, and started using humans as hosts for themselves, ruling thru fear by pretending to be the gods that humans worshipped. they spread thru out the galaxy using "stargates", which create wormholes between 2 points in space. Eventually, humans revlot, and bury the earth stargate so it can't establish another wormhole, and earth is "lost" to the galaxy. several thousand years later, teh stargate is found during a dig in egypt, and the adventure begins.
i suggest anyone who likes sci-fi and hasn't seen this show to check it out. the dialogue alone is worth it.
heres a few quotes to hopefully spark ur intrest:
Hammond: "In the future, Major, before you activate any device that includes the word 'reactor,' I'd appreciate it if you would notify me."
Daniel : I think they're a family.
Jack O'Neill : Of what?
Aris Boch : Dr. Jackson, if you don't mind treating my wound.
Daniel Jackson : I'm an archaeologist.
Aris Boch : I know, but you're also a doctor...
Daniel Jackson : ...Of archaeology.
Daniel : It was a procedure often done in the Middle Ages. They... well, they'd drill a hole in the person's head. By drilling a hole the evil spirits are released, thus saving the person from eternal damnation.
Jack O'Neill : Thus... *saving* the person?
Daniel : Well, they didn't call them the Dark Ages because it was dark
Teal'c : Most often, dreams are merely the mind's way of dealing with desires that cannot be fufilled.
Daniel Jackson : Ah. So basically, I'm never gonna get a good night's sleep again.
Teal'c : With all your past experiences, Daniel Jackson, I do not know how you have slept well before now.
Daniel Jackson : Thank you, Teal'c. This conversation has been disturbing... on many levels...
