Trivia:
When Col. O'Neill and Daniel Jackson try to convince Sen. Kinsey of an impending Goa'uld attack on earth, Sen. Kinsey responds that the Goa'uld will regret taking on the U.S. military. Jackson then responds, somewhat sarcastically, "Oh, you're right. We'll - we'll just upload a computer virus into the mothership." Uploading a computer virus into the mothership (of the invasion force) was the somewhat unlikely technique used to defeat the aliens in the blockbuster Independence Day (1996) Jackson's comment is a nod to Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, who co-wrote both "Independence Day" and Stargate (1994), the movie on which this series was based; Emmerich was also the director of both "Independence Day" and the movie version of "Stargate". more
