So for me, while I know rotary phones existed and I'm nerdy enough to know how they work, I always thought of a star gate when I used the combination locks for our school lockers. Twist one direction, lock, twist other way, lock. Sadly now we're hitting a time where kids like me are among the last who remember stargate. I hope a new show comes sometime soon.

@happyninja42 Жыл бұрын

@@leogetz3570 I just assumed it was because the system of the gate had been designed to be used. The only reason they needed all that stuff on the earth side, was that the human slaves who had rebelled, had torn down the mechanisms that ran the device. So they had to build a new interface. But on the alien planet side, the device was still fully functional. So with Daniel there to read the instruction manual (off screen), they could use the device to go back. That was my take on it anyway. It's like the earth side finding a busted up telephone, jury-rigging it to work with the phone system and making a call. But then when they realize "hey there is this whole network of phones!" when they are at someone else's place....they just pick up the handset, you know?

I've only watched this movie one time, and I don't remember why they couldn't simply guess the last symbol. There's only a few dozen of them, and it would seem rather easy to brute-force the very last one. Even if it destroyed the research facility with a self-defense nuclear blast or something at each wrong guess, then you could just build as many other facilities out in the desert as needed until getting it right. Am I missing something here? I honestly don't remember the details all that well.

@@Kreachie I figured that some things in the movie would be ret-conned for the TV show as is standard practice, but that particular example is one of the worst ways to do it. James Spader's entire justification for being involved with Stargate was the supposed need to find the seventh symbol. Later, in the series, it is revealed they already knew the last symbol, and so the main and most-likeable character in the movie was completely unnecessary from the start? I'm not saying that SG-1 was bad. I watched some episodes back during the original run and enjoyed it, but that episode you just mentioned seems incongruous to the plot of the source material to the point of invalidation. They already knew the seventh symbol for almost 50 years and then hired James Spader's character to...translate it again? I don't understand.

I still love that, with the exception of the actual event horizon, everything else about the stargate was practical. The inner ring actually spun, the chevron crystals actually lit up (in the series), the activation was done by shooting pressurised air into a clear bucket of water and super imposing it into the Stargate, and the vortex was done in a similar fashion only instead of air it was a device created to spin at the bottom of the bucket. The soundtrack is great, the cast - even if some had their misgivings about the script - were great, and of course it spawned perhaps one of the greatest science fiction TV shows on par with Star Trek.

An iconic scene. The concept that was expanded in to the tv show was brilliant. You didn't need ships...you just stepped through the gate and you were on another world (well yes, one that looked like the area around Vancouver but you know what I mean). You had an adventure and came back, ready to go out again. The sky was the limit. And you had the standard formula in those days...the background mythos of the Stargate and the Ancients were sometimes featured, and then you had the adventure shows, On the X Files, they called it MOTW-- or Monster Of The Week in their format. But then the usual happened... budget constraints and location shooting is expensive, So they focused more on ships because I guess studio shooting on standing sets is a lot cheaper. The formula changed to more arc driven stories and the Stargate basically became public transportation in the end. It was much more exciting (I guess) to be out hopping galaxies in ships...ironic, because that what made Stargate different in the first place...

@JohnDoe-vm5rb 8 ай бұрын

To an extent the stargate becoming public transport made narrative sense. It stopped being a strange and alien thing, it became the thing they used to get about for the big plots, and as their military might and ability to protect themselves improved, it again makes sense that the emphasis of the stargate itself is pushed back.

The other dude was general West and yea, while he was a general and the whole operation was run by him, it was in fact O'Neil's decision, since he was put in charge of the team, that would go through the gate (and to plant the bomb on the other side, if things went awry), he also decided who to bring into the team. So O'Neil was really the one to give the permission, it was his mission, it depended on him, if he's ready, if he's even willing to do stuff. If not, they would have to find another guy for the mission. O'Neil had basically nothing to loose at that point, so he took the mission and the charge of it.
