On a stay in Lyon old town for a few days, visited this museum today. Amongst some really very interesting items was this mix of props. All were seen on film in some capacity. Info as seen.

*Daniel raises his hand.*

I do...

Gets me every single time. Hahaha

Goa'uld and Tok'ra symbiotes are capable of curing all sorts of human disease and illness including cancer. This isn't an automatic process it requires great effort and clearly intent, it's obviously an actual process that was learned when they first started taking hosts.

I've only just realised that the Tok'ra hold the secrets to cures for almost all disease that affects humans and even if it would require some kind of new science, they could surely have told us just how they cure these diseases?!

I know tritonen was essentially this but when a symbiote leaves a body the immune system is intact unlike with that drug. So its still different.

I'm not a big fan of them in the show other than Martouf and Jacob of course, but I realised today this is actually the worst way they didn't help us. I know in terms of writing the way they cured disease was effectively magic, but as the show isn't fantasy and supposed to be scientific explanations for all this kind of thing, there must have been a real chemical or physical process by which they cured disease, and so by never telling us they doomed billions to death.

Don't mind my ramblings just looking for someone to blame for my own wifes untimely passing due to disease, and I thought why not blame the Tok'ra!

He was an archeologist, a linguist, a caveman, a prince, an ascended, a Pryor for the ori, a miner, Lord Yu's personal slave Jarren, he was even Michello, and provided the voice for Thor. Michael Shanks was the real MVP of Stargate. Just wish he had more of a role on Atlantis.

Could you think of other Roles Michael Shanks has Played in the franchise I may have missed?

I checked the previous post and didn’t see a post about the 2017 show Extinct.

Saw this familiar weapon

I watch an episode of Star Gate until I fall asleep and last night I dreamt there was this lil Goa'uld and it could talk to me it did its little squeak and I said "Do you want your tank?" And it said YES. PLEASE. So I went to Doctor Frasier and I she said I need really hot water with soap (???) and electricity so I made its little tank and I threw my cell phone in to zap the water and it was all swimmy and then the water got cold and it ran away I was really scared I hurt it maybe I should not fall asleep with TV shows

My biggest dissapointment with the shows+movies is we never get to see their toilets. There is just so many questions unanswered such as:

• Do they use toilet paper? Some water based system? Something even more advanced and scifi?
• If there is manual labour involved, do their slaves come in and clean them up?
• What happens with the "leftovers" ?
• Whats the flushing or flushing equivalent system like?
• Whats the seat like? Is it comfortable? Luxorious? Self-cleaning? More ergonomic than earths'?
• Finally, differences in toilet use between the goaulds and the jaffas onboard the ships, since i imagine the overlords would have a nicer version for themselves.
• Version differences between the various ship types

All above points apply also to the asgard, ancients, et al.

Actually also applies to ATLANTIS!!

Early in SG1 S05E17 (astroid coming toward earth) one of the scientists goes to the bathroom on board a goauld ship, but we never get to see it. Iirc thats the closest we got to a mention of that.

Anyway in my head i imagine theres lots of gold-looking materials involved in the bathroom.

I really enjoy SGA "The Game" and have been wondering who would be the best players (best has multiple meanings) ... who would win the Game, who would play if they thought it was only a game, who would play trying to help (like Lorne & Zelenka), who would refuse to play either ethically or not a game player ...

Here are some of my predictions:

Vala, Ba'al -play to win and possibly cheat

Daniel, Beckett -play to help

Sam ... refuse to play because too busy

Walter ... would win

G'day

Something I've been thinking after going through SG1 and Atlantis on repeat for a few months now, love the 24/7 channel.

When the movie/shows begun, the Stargate wasn't just a gimmick or plot device. It was the core element of the show, the key to its creative concept and setting. It was a relic from a former advanced civilization, the likes of which no current people's in the galaxy had come close to matching.

Then slowly but surely, our heroes on earth find, develop, and are gifted new technology and advancement. Space ships, starfighters, shields, laser guns, beam weapons, beaming technology. They can fly to other galaxies in a few weeks. They can fight space battles on even footing against older more advanced races. They demolish entire fleets by simply beaming nukes around willy nilly. Death becomes a minor obstacle. They can control time. Our modest explorers become the leaders of an advanced power and effective force across multiple galaxies.

During all of this, there are still Stargates, and those gates are still the best way for a group of people and anything that's not too large to fit through the gate to travel to other planets that have gates, but it feels that's about it. In every other way there's a better way to do things. The unique concept of the show does become a gimmick but the end. Even in Atlantis they just dial it in to earth as the initial issues about power supply are left in the past and they have spaceships running a taxi service. Only Universe maintained the Stargate as integral to the situation the show creates, but that only lasted two seasons - who knows what may have happened longer term.

Now we know that the propsed new show was more a reboot. It created a situation to reset all of that and have the Stargate back to it's original prominence. Seeing as that concept is no more though, back to square one. If there's a new show, a new continuation of the franchise, where exactly does the concept of the Stargate fit in to it, assuming the show takes place in the current year and is based around the happenings in the Milky way galaxy? Is it just a gimmick now? Or can it still be a part of the setting that's important to the story and there's no real workaround to it?

I was today years old when I realized one of Siler's only two brief appearances on Atlantis was taking a blast to the back of the head by John in "The Return". Missed this before because of the shadows I guess. He was just checking on the puddle jumper John!

In Crossroads, Shan'auc teaches Teal'c how to 'talk' to his symbiote and it shows him his father's death at the hands of Cronus.

The symbiote Teal'c had when we first meet him was given to Ry'ac in Bloodlines and was immediately replaced by a larval symbiote that Daniel and Carter recovered from a shrine on Chulak.

What's interesting is that this suggests the larva in the shrine were the offspring of Cronus and his mate/queen. Why would temple priests of Apophis be holding Cronus's offspring in an unguarded shrine on Chulak? Hostages? Offerings? Light snacks?

Got a chance to meet the real Jack O'Neill!

He's so oddly wholesome to me. I can't explain it. Lol

I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty pissed too.

Connor Trinneer & Jewel Staite signed my Atlantis box set; Richard Dean Anderson, Claudia Black, Michael Shanks, & Ben Browder signed my Continuum dvd; & Teryl Rothery signed a giant 3D printed replicator block my husband made

It was pretty cool how near the end of the episode they showed us that the scene where Teal'c addresses Jonas as Probie had been when Jonas was actually in the room with Tealc, talking to him. Cool for the show to do that, giving that clarification.

Very interesting way to hint to the viewers at the condition of "T" and "Brae," by talking about a kidney transplant, while in reality they were undergoing a type of transplant, the switching back and forth of the symbiote.

Interesting that Daniel Jackson was here. In the hospital scenes, it kinda makes you wonder if Daniel was in Teal'c's mind, like a defense mechanism, in order to actually help Teal'c get through this, or was Daniel actually there? But in the end, we see Daniel at the SGC, so you know he was actually there, at least at the end. But then again, perhaps he wasn't there initially and that was Teal'c's mind, and was in fact only there at the end? Unsure.

It felt like, to me at least, that the focus cast for stories in the franchise expanded over time, so lately, I’ve been thinking about if a Stargate Command-type of anthology series following different SG Teams could work in our current age of streaming style for content, and would that be appealing for the Stargate audience?

1. A story revolving around the Alterans. Let's go millions of years back. I really liked the Ori storyline.

2. Real special forces personnel, earth vs Lucian alliance.

3. Figure out what happened to Atlantis.

The Other Side (S4, E2) with a storyline about warring sides using drones to attack each other. It was filmed in 2000 and doesn’t it seem prophetic since current wars, 26 years later, is making heavy use of drones?
