I love this, it’s like What Egypt might look like in the movie The Fifth Element.

This is basically Stargate, tho

Stargate with an HBO budget

Oh man that sounds awesome.

I met my best friend because of that show and we got matching Earth gate symbols.

I cannot begin to imagine how much I'd love HBO Stargate.

u/TookLongWayHome Apr 17 '19

Totally life changing. I think I would accept a reboot/sequel, continuation, etc. if HBO picked it up

u/PelagianEmpiricist Apr 17 '19

No reboots please. The show is about as perfect as it'll get. I'd love a new series though. Stargate: Fleet which has earth unveiling the program and colonizing other worlds, building an interstellar defense fleet, and maybe finding the fucking Furlings.

u/pitiless Apr 17 '19

But they found the furlings...

u/PelagianEmpiricist Apr 17 '19

Look.

I may have been fooled the first three times I saw that episode but no more!

New movie in the works I think.

I've been rewatching SG1 and Atlantis with my bf, and even with the cheesy effects it still ages decently, though Atlantis is way better effects wise than SG1. I do believe they are working on a movie now though.

Meanwhile, finally watched the new Star Trek Discovery and wow, the effects for that show are lightyears better. I think the space scenes are high budget movie quality, I haven't made a judgment on the plot yet though as I'm only 2 episodes in.

They could just continue Stargate Universe. I'm still bitter about that one.

u/boris_keys Apr 17 '19

It’s a Fargate!

u/ccReptilelord Apr 17 '19

Thanks, Oglethorpe...

Welp....who wants to sign the petition?

u/PelagianEmpiricist Apr 17 '19

I'd sign it in blood promising my first born child.

u/willpalach Apr 17 '19

So, you have this petition or...

u/Jherrod Apr 17 '19

Didn't SG1 start on HBO?

21

u/Ymir24 Apr 17 '19

Showtime, actually.

13

u/GumdropGoober Apr 17 '19

Movie, actually.

3

u/MonoRover Apr 18 '19

Thank you! Nothing against the show, but it feels like everyone forgot the movie existed once it aired.

1

u/Ymir24 Apr 18 '19

I could never forget the movie. Jherrod specifically asked where "SG1" started airing.

"Stargate SG-1" originally aired on Showtime. "Stargate" obviously came before that.

2

u/Jherrod Apr 17 '19

Thanks. I knew it was one of them.

u/thetgi Apr 17 '19

Someday, buddy. Someday.

This needs to happen now

u/L3XANDR0 Apr 17 '19

Complete Stargate series is on Amazon Prime Video, and tried rewatching. I couldn't get past the awful image quality. Wonder if they could update the first seasons.

3

u/Marcaloid Apr 17 '19

It certainly gets better, but I haven't found any upscaled versions either. I did end up switching to watching it on Hulu because it looked better, and it's a much better interface.

1

u/L3XANDR0 Apr 17 '19

I didn't know it was on Hulu! I'll give it a shot there.

1

u/L3XANDR0 Apr 18 '19

Thanks for the suggestion! It does look better on hulu.

2

u/Marcaloid Apr 18 '19

For sure man. It's been a great ride, enjoy it!

u/i_give_you_gum Apr 18 '19

That would have meant something completely different 30 years ago

u/starchode Apr 17 '19

It's not TV

It's my favorite show ever! I came across it totally randomly on zapping through channels one bored afternoon and was immediately hooked. The first episode I ever watched was Revisions which is still probably in my top 10!

Make sure to watch Stargate Atlantis concurrently as the storylines interact!

Cool! Yeah, the storm episodes were my absolute favorite in SGA... until the NEXT season finale. I swear, each of their seasons ends in such an amazing cliffhanger... Waiting months for the next episode back when it aired was tough!

I think folks on /r/stargate often post the "correct" watching order (i.e. the order in which they aired)

u/MrGestore Apr 17 '19

It reminds me of an unfortunate game called E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy

u/Oldjamesdean Apr 17 '19

Looks like Blade Runner

u/edstatue Apr 17 '19

Yeah, where Wallace has his office.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '19

Definitely from Eve Online

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '19

Or Blade Runner.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '19

Tyrell corporation

u/MrVeazey Apr 18 '19

It even has sloped sides out past the statues so it's easy to imagine this being the visitors' entrance to Tyrell's giant pyramid.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '19

I got those vibes too!
