But he is convinced that the great pyramids weren&#8217;t build during the fourth dynasty 5,000 years ago. He believes that they are much older. A digging back in 1928 confirms his suspicions: buried in the sands of Egypt under a great cover stone with unknown symbols &#8211; not hieroglyphs &#8211; the <strike>Door to Heaven<\/strike> Stargate was found. The Stargate is an ancient device to open an intergalactic connection to the planet Abydos. Dr. Jackson and Colonel Jack O&#8217;Neill (and a group of soldiers) go there. O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s job is to evaluate the danger of the situation they are facing.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Opinion:<\/em> Unfortunately I haven&#8217;t seen this movie in the theatres (I went to <em>Star Trek: Generations<\/em> instead). The idea that alien cultures have been to Earth and have had an influence isn&#8217;t new, but it was interestingly presented. I also liked that the Abydosians really spoke abydosian (a variant of ancient egyptian) and not just english. The fights were very well choreographed, too, I didn&#8217;t have the feeling that the weapons of the humans were a match to the ones of Ra&#8217;s.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To adopt the story for the series they had to make some adjustments (this contains spoilers in regard to the pilot of the series):<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt\">\n<li>In the movie, Ra is portrayed as the last of his kind, in the series he is one System Lord amongst many &#8211; although the most powerful one<\/li>\n<li>In the movie, Ra is no Goa&#8217;uld, his alien body looks totally different<\/li>\n<li>In the movie, Abydos is in another galaxy, in the series it&#8217;s the planet closest to Earth<\/li>\n<li>In the movie, the Stargate is a point-to-point connection to Abydos, in the series it&#8217;s one in a great network of Stargates<\/li>\n<li>Ra&#8217;s Jaffa (who aren&#8217;t called Jaffa in the movie) don&#8217;t have an abdomen pouch in which they carry a Goa&#8217;uld larva (the term Goa&#8217;uld is also an invention of the series)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally one has to activate one&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Suspension_of_disbelief\">suspension of disbelief<\/a>&#8221; even more than in the movie, because:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt\">\n<li>On most planets the people speak english, no explanation is given (Universal Translator in <em>Star Trek<\/em>, Translator Microbes in <em>Farscape<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Most planets look like canadian forrests<\/li>\n<li>On some planets are earth-like cultures that developed only after the gate was buried<\/li>\n<li>We never see normal Goa&#8217;ulds, they are either rulers or at least scientists, but the huge number of Gua&#8217;uld larvae in the Jaffa have to result in a much larger Goa&#8217;uld population<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now we can get started &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/sg1-crew.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/38\/stargate-sg-1-season-1\">Season 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deutsche Version | Stargate SG-1: Season 1 First I thought about a re-run of Smallville but I have watched this in the middle of last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,9],"tags":[87,195,198,200,201],"class_list":["post-37","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dvd-blu-ray","category-dvd-marathon","category-sg-1-marathon","tag-farscape","tag-smallville","tag-star-trek","tag-stargate","tag-stargate-sg-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2352,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions\/2352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
