I loved it too, but am I jumping the shark here seeing the inspiration for Stargate SG1? (The series not the movie).

The pylon (stargate), the crystal alter controls (DHD), the sleestack versus enik reptile things (go'uld versus to'kra), an off world "native" joins the quest (Teal'c)...

I just got to thinking about the Chaka episode of Stargate and how much the dialogue was even like the first LOTL when they met their own Chaka and had to teach him languange and to be "friend."

I dunno.

I was going to edit in my explanation better, and fix the picture links but [edit] powers gone after 2 hours.

No biggie. Just struck me last night this show was probably an inspiration and favorite of the SG1 guys as kids or something.

They do alot of intentional references like Wizard of Oz and MacGuyver... why not this?

do you remeber the series with that guy who used a tuning fork as his weapon of choice - he always looked like he was straining to take a dump when he used it... fantastic journey it was called io think?. This group of people went thru different time zones , by walking into an invisable forcefield thingy in the bushes..but could never go back once they went thru this invisable wall.. lol funny stuff indeed.


One asks tho - why dont they makem like this anymore????
