Stargate SG1 - A secret military team, SG-1, is formed to explore the recently discovered Stargates.
Stargate Atlantis - An international team of scientists and military personnel discover a Stargate network in the Pegasus Galaxy
Stargate Universe - Trapped on an Ancient spaceship billions of light years from home, a group of soldiers and civilians struggle to survive and find their way back to Earth.
This is just one example of how putting credibility into TV shows causes more harm than good.
I'm sure we will make contact at some point, but cable television holds no secrets or insider information.
Also, the civilizations they visit, all seem to be one world governments, no distinction if they go in a village of 500 still living like earthlings from 5000 years ago, a medieval one or a futuristic one.
We never hear of a planet with 350 countries with 27 types of government, like Earth has. Unless I missed all those episodes where they had ones...

The feel of disinformation within the show has bugged me for a long time. FreedomSlave put in a link to your thread on this, holy cow it's huge and will take quite a while to read through. And I thought the time travel threads were big.

The premis that humans are not ready for disclosure is not a key plot point in the show. In my opinion it would work fine even if all of Earth were informed. But that's just my opinion.
All that aside I don't think a TV program constitutes proof of anything.
Statistically it is highly likely that extra-terrestrial beings exist. Television has no bearing on the matter.
But it does lead easily manipulated people to become unreasonable on the topic.
For example: one of the first threads I ever commented on here on ATS, put forth that a stargate had appeared over the Gulf of Aden in January of 2010. The fanciful idea of this aside, the OP was absolutely convinced beyond any attempts at reason that it was 100% true. When I tried to tell the person that I was on a ship in the Gulf of Aden during the entire time this event was said to take place, and informed them that no such thing had happened they became completely uncivilized and hostile.
This is just one example of how putting credibility into TV shows causes more harm than good.

Like the X-Files, but not quite as seriously intense, it was so cleverly put together that you just couldn't help but wonder if it didn't have more to it than simple fiction.
A question to Undo : Did the 2 egyptologists helped with the show too?

The Stargate Conspiracy
Many members here are familiar with the TV show Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. For those (if any) who are unaware of what Stargate is here's the IMDb descriptions:
Stargate SG1 - A secret military team, SG-1, is formed to explore the recently discovered Stargates.
Stargate Atlantis - An international team of scientists and military personnel discover a Stargate network in the Pegasus Galaxy
Stargate Universe - Trapped on an Ancient spaceship billions of light years from home, a group of soldiers and civilians struggle to survive and find their way back to Earth.
Now for the conspiracy or disinformation at best. While the SG teams explore the galaxy meeting other cultures ranging from rural agricultural to technically advanced these cultures pretty much have one thing in common. They pretty much all use the Stargates without having an existential crisis.
There is however one civilization that must be sheltered from the disclosure of the Stargate, aliens and information of the galaxy. You may have guessed it, it's the earth humans. While primitive interstellar farming communities may have no trouble with disclosure we simple earthling must be protected from this information at all costs. This is constantly reinforced by both the stars and the governments of these shows.
While I have no idea if aliens exist I do know propaganda and disinformation does. To me this subtle disinformation is more proof to the existence of aliens than anything I have yet seen. What say you ATS? Is this simply TV or subtle mind manipulation within the deeper story?

we call it plausible deniability. which works most of the time, but not all of the time. and that's the wiggle room that let's all kinds of interesting things remain safely away from prying eyes and curious readers

No what's really sad is that on here people try to see a hidden message in everything, people have made many threads on here claiming that when we have a spate of sci-fi films released that the are trying to prepare us just and like I have said before when we have a spate of sword and sandals films is that to prepare us for an invasion of ancient Greeks or Romans seriously some on here look to hard for conspiracies.
