Why is MacGuyver traveling the woods of North America? I keep expecting him to make a gun out of a stick and a pack of gum.

It was a great show and we thought it could become as big as Star Trek and maybe reaching a bit of Star Wars levels. Remark: Both franchises were better, had fan acclaim and were more successful back then as today as sidenote. The showIt was a great show and we thought it could become as big as Star Trek and maybe reaching a bit of Star Wars levels. Remark: Both franchises were better, had fan acclaim and were more successful back then as today as sidenote. The show follows the events of the Stargate movie by Roland Emmerich from 1994. There we learned that mankind was really visited by aliens in the past. In Egypt a gate was found that is able to open a wormhole to a different planet far away. It was discovered that the aliens used their advanced technology to present themselves as gods to the primitive human societies. Like Arthur C. Clark said “A highly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. The problem was solved when the alien spaceship was destroyed by a nuclear missile or we thought so. However this was just the door opener (no pun intended) to a lager adventure. The strengths of the show were the lore that lets you do practical anything, great characters and that the set up of the characters and arcs. Many things will be build up and have impacts or developments in later seasons or were prepared in previous seasons to unfold. This made a unique experience as things can come back to bite you in the back, are develop further or give new perspectives. Expand

Solid generic action sci-fantasy and I don't mean that in a bad way. All about the US miliary travelling through a gate on earth to strange new planets. Well not that strange the planets as mostly look like earth forests. Nobody ever hardlySolid generic action sci-fantasy and I don't mean that in a bad way. All about the US miliary travelling through a gate on earth to strange new planets. Well not that strange the planets as mostly look like earth forests. Nobody ever hardly watches the planetary gates. Plus all the humans speak english even when seperated for hundreds and it a lot of cases thousands of years. So the suspension of disbelief will be required in a few places. The stories are generally one off and all wrapped in one episode. Sometimes they come back to a few of the episodes later and bounce off them. The acting is fine while the stories and characters are mostly engaging. Budget and effects are not that great (first entire watch in 2022), but beats the Wormhole X-Treme show and a lot of new-age sci-fi shows writing hands down. It's not a master piece like the BSG reboot or has the deep writing of say Babylon 5. Then again that does make the series fairly accessable to wider audiences who like science fantasy lite. Expand

If a series can summarize my 20's then it's Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, but especially SG-1, the cast, story, it's an amazing journey. Grateful for the experience, seen it from start to finish three times.

This series easily became my most favorite series of all time. Its also the only sci fi genre that i ever could fully get into. The cast is great, the small stories in each episode were nicely done, the atmosphere just fits.
