- TriviaUnusual for a series, Showtime ordered forty-four episodes (a second season) before showing the pilot. Halfway through the first season, they ordered another forty-four episodes.
- GoofsBetween the episodes Small Victories (2000) and Redemption: Part 2 (2002), the Beta (Antarctic) stargate is used at the SGC for gate travel, since the original gate ended up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in "Small Victories" and later fell into the possession of the Russians until its return to the SGC in "Redemption Pt 2". In Solitudes (1998) (the first episode to feature the Beta gate), the point of origin symbol (an octagon with a line below it) is different from the point of origin symbol of the original gate (pyramid and circle); however, in various episodes that featured the Beta gate in use, the point of origin symbol mysteriously changes to the symbol from the original gate.
- Alternate versionsIn the SCi-Fi Channel preview for "Cure" (episode 6.12) Peter Stebbings' character, Malek, speaks with a normal voice. In the final episode Malek speaks with the modulated voice common to the Tok'ra and Goa'uld.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Secret Files of the SGC (2003)
Featured review
Well Done!
The movie was groundbreaking, and its ideas had great potential for further development. Usually, sequels are made to continue the story on the big screen. Creating this excellent series was a much better decision than producing lousy sequels for the masses.
Fans of the movie get to further explore all the ideas: The Stargate system, used by humans to travel the galaxy for thousands of years; Egyptian, Norse, and alien mythology; true science fiction - with fictional devices and concepts based on current science; and human exploration of our known universe part of what made Star Trek so popular.
You see the characters develop over time, the quirky unexpected humor, the use of an alien who doesn't fully understand American English (like Data), the struggle of the oppressed, the lengths humans go in order to survive, politics and government bureaucracy, and the underlying tenet that there is more to human life then our brief appearance on planet Earth.
