The most positive optimistic part about this show is that humans were lowly creatures compared to many races. But races like the Asgard and the Nox looked at them like children that needed love and guidance. They gave them hope in being better.
No show in my entire life has has had a greater impact on my life than Stargate. I remember being glued to the edge of my seat, never missing a single episode with my mother, since as long as I could remember. She'd always tell me, "you know this isn't real right?", as I'd fantasize the Ancients rise and fall and imagine every world I could dream of. As the years went on and my father finally joined in I remember him saying, "you know this might be better than Star Trek". Stargate gave me such a burning passion to learn about ancient cultures and science in a way I never dreamed would stick with me to this day. It was like being being struck with universal waves of truth, I just KNEW there was more to our ancient story than I was thought. This show shifted gravity, expanded minds and imagination, and sent us into unknown dimensions. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, and Teal'c.
Well, this show does have a "kernal" of truth about it. Humanity isn't a young race, we just keep losing everything, every reset. Sucks, but needed. A Stargate is simply a portal. Couple of rumors, up and about, saying people finding stone arrangements with ancient writings of label of "Gates of the Gods". But they got one thing right, teleportation is tricky. Get the coordinates wrong, and you'll end up 2 feet in the ground. Let's just say this show is part of a "Soft Disclosure Program".
And we do the same sort of travels withhin consciousness. We do it every night and after death. The only downside is, that we only remember a very very tiny piece because we expand our consciousness at night and our brain can't translate the information it's receiving. I looked at your profile page, so you already know lucid dreaming. But there is so much more behind it, these things dont only happen in our head. Go out and learn. Btw I love Stargate too, it's the best Sci Fi existing!
@Tony Samson I think hes talking about the episodes with indians mining river and those aliens that turned to animals pretending to be their giardian spirits
As a great encapsulation of the episode I think the best moments from the episode are while O'Neill is speaking with the Asgard after they have removed the Alteran knowledge from his head and describing the former alliance and the second when after being asked how everything went O'Neill looks towards the gate and mentions the Asgard before saying; "I think we're gonna be alright. Love the callback to "The Nox" when O'Neill says; "met them," and hearing mention of the Furlings says; "haven't met them"
I really like shows that endear you to the characters. I’m 68 years old and I can’t think of another show over a lot of years that did that better than SG-1. There were others that succeeded but not to the level of this show. The show had a really great sense of humor and never took themselves too seriously. I really wish they’d come back.
probably better if they don't. they would absolutely butcher the show with politics and other bullshit these days. best to let it die great than try to keep it alive at all costs until it becomes a rotting zombie like any other show that far overstayed its welcome.
@@user-kc2fu8iw3v This show has its fair share of politics, especially for the time back in the 90s. There's a black co-star and a female with a lot of 'women power moments'. Might seem insignificant now, but I'm certain it was a big deal back then. Movies and TV were more subtle and mature about politics. These days they smack you over the head with it
why 5th? Humans are the Ancients after degradation? Due to lor, ancients are the ancestors. The same body the same everything (yeah, and language, even wraiths and orih speak English))
According to the lore, we are not descended from the Ancients. After the Prior Plague the Ancients built the device on Takara to get life going again. We're more like a reboot. Ostensibly they evolved on Earth tens of millions of years earlier, probably from the primate line as well. So we would be like distant cousins that they boosted. Stargate lore is surprisingly complex.
Yeah, I'm surprised that they didn't reverse engineer it and mass produced it since it was made entirely from pretty common items put together with common tools(Unlike a ZPM that's most likely the complete opposite). Pegasus and Ida galaxies are about the same distance from the Milky way so 100 of those would equal 100 one-way trips between Atlantis and SGC before they got the Midway station set up. They would also probably do a decent job at powering Atlantis's shields(At least momentarily).
I don't think it's a ZPM, but either way it only works for a very short period before burning out. It also technically needs to provide enough power for the connection to be established, afterwards the Asgard gate could take over (of course that would require that the dialed gate is supplied with enough power but since the Asgard would probably mostly use it for intergalactic travel (well in the rare instances they actually used it at all) I think that this is quite likely). Also they did manage to repair it in Point of View but I'm not sure if they took it back to the main universe.
The show was filmed in metro Vancouver (Burnaby primarily). He should of been wearing a Canadian Tuxedo with a case of pilsner and a bag of bubba Kush.
@@Smeginator Yep, the different power sources got the job done but weren't very unstable. Wonder what power source the Asgard had that were able to create stable intergalactic travel similar to ZPMs?
The launch was from unstable transit systems power supply. The asguard didn’t know who was dialing in since the network said no one is dialing them. What shocked them was the 8 chevron in the gate lighting up.
Gustav Adolf no, I’d say the knowledge of the Nox would go beyond that of Anubis, at least the technology of the Nox would go beyond Anubis, the Nox have just buried their stargate and don’t really care
ikr... truthfully i love this series so much. but towards the endings, so much fillers and episodes that are unnecessary where they can develop for bigger things like combination all 5 races
they said it was too expensive at the time to produce furlings into the series. they couldnt even get skeletons for that episode where maybourne and o'neill got lost in the furgling planet.
hate to be that guy, but its not that incredible when its fiction... its kinda common that in sci-fi people are special in some way and have great future etc., which ofc they are, member of human kind wrote it
Jackson: What happened? O'Neil: I think we're going to be alright........But first, can you get me a curtain rod, armrest and a toothpick?...I've got an idea.
I WISH THAT THEY WOULD PUT STARGATE BACK ON REGULAR TV 📺 OVER THE AIR ANTENNA TV SIGNAL. I Love watching ( STARGATE SG 1 and STARGATE Atlantis and Stargate universe. I wish they would put these shows back on television regular TV over the air antenna signal. I’m 63 years old I love watching these shows. I hope that one day man can find such as item at star gate to be able to travel beyond the stars and back home again. I also hope that one day all sickness on this world can be cured with one pill to extend our lives to be 100 or 200 years old and still look and feel young again.
I've always thought it was a shame that the Ancients weren't depicted as having only 4 fingers on their hands since it is revealed in this episode that they use an 8 base mathematics system which would make so much sence if they only had a total of 8 fingers. I know that it'd be really bothersome from a prodution point of view but it would be such a cool detail.
It's a testament to how great the Stargate series were that as soon as the languages came up in this video, I was like "Oh yeah, that's Ancient, you guys." 🤣
Stargate has to be one of the best series developed. Great characters, wonderful adventures, and I was sorry when it ended. Felt like we knew the characters like family. Well done, and much missed! 👏 ❤
This is when TV was great! Strong male and female leads!! Amanda tapping did a wonderful job playing an amazing female character yet she was not an idiotic feminist like Bree Larson. In fact almost all the female characters on and off world we’re just awesome! Great writing great special facts
i known what each language is, the top left is the furrlines (i don't know how to spell it). the top right is asgard. the bottom left is the noks and the bottom right is the ancients. i have invested too much time in this show.
I've just realised they have changed the voices of the 2 asgard, definitely the female one on the left. I Though I was loosing it. Apparently they removed the voices effects on the actors voices, for the Netflix version
Wouldn’t the Asgard know the name of the Ancients and say that instead of ancients? They’ve been studying humans on Earth long enough to know how to speak English.
Might not have thought that far ahead at this point, and it was a pretty common thing in the Milky Way to refer to the Alteran's as the Ancients, a habit shared by the Wraith, Ori, and Goa'uld. It's likely most didn't know their original name, and we know that in Pegasus they appear to have changed it to Lanteans. It's probably along the same lines as Human, Tauri, Earthling, and Terran. Just different names for the same thing, and we are hearing a translated version so whatever allows Jack to hear it in a language he understands could be substituting terms he knows for what they might actually be saying.
the sad thing is that they never truly became the 5th race because by the end of SG1 the Asgard were so far down the path to extinction that they were willing to blow up their own homeworld to destroy a few Ori ships
@@jakobwilliamzachariassen2640 The Nox were one of the original 4 races. They died out... Only the Ancients managed to ascend, and so survived. If you call that living...
Menace312 but sg-1 met the nox tho, they didn’t die out, in that episode they tell the sg-1 team that they will burry their gate to prevent goa’uld attacks or something and then they show them a floating city in the sky that had been invisible the whole time and say that they can deal with any threats they could eventually meet. They are also close to ascension in at least a few cases as at least some have near ascension powers, tho it could just be some invisible tech or something, so i think it’s safe to say they just cut out a corner, sat in it by themselves and at least some likely began trying to ascend. Although it’s entirely possible that i’m wrong and they didn’t cut themselves off, but instead did something else like partially immigrate to other galaxies or something similar to explain their lack of active presence.
@@jakobwilliamzachariassen2640 You are told in the series, that the Nox die out. I cant remember the episode, but it was one of the last. We never get to meet the Furlongs, but we are told that they died out aswell. The Asgard blow up their planet, so they are all gone aswell. The Ancients all died out because of some nasty virus, that even they could not cure (yeah weird I know). The Ancients we meet in the series (frozen) are all infected and die. Only the ascended Antients are still around, but they are not really alive anymore...
Menace312 really? I remember the last time we see them as being the time they need a neutral party for the who sokar/skaara trials thing with the tollans
After the Asguard took the Ancients knowledge from O'Neal, they could have created an alliance with the Noch's and defeated the Replicators and saved their race (Asguard) from extinction.
when jack met the asgard my heart was beating so fast, and i was at the edge of my seat so so excited, this was truly one of the top moments in the series to me. season 2 stepped up the game really good, introducing the tok´ra and the asgard
I’m sorry i don’t want to be an ass (in which i will be for even writing this lol) but the fifth race vid is s2 episode 15 not 16, just so that when people will try to watch it on the internet or download it get the wrong one x3
the tok´ra are symbiotes not parasites, a symbiotic relationship both organisms win and benefit from the relationship. the goa´uld system lords that take humans by force and enslave them, they are parasitic
What urks me was abt this episode are a few things. 1. Why didn't they ask Thor or some asgards abt the four race's alliance? Like nothing specific, just why did they meet? Why did they form an alliance? 2, Did they ever ask what the ancients was like? Again, just general questions 3. If they still had that home made zpm, why didn't they reverse engineer it and make it again for the Atlantis team? Or the very least make it so that they communicate with them. (I'm only guessing it wasn't compatible with the city) Jack (with ancient knowledge) was able to create something that was able to provide additional power to dial an 8th address. I'm guessing distance calculation was also a factor.
Given the personalities of the Goa'uld and the Asgard tendency to tell the Goa'uld to go stuff themselves.. makes you wonder what caused the two races, plus the Ancients and the mysterious Furlings to forma n alliance.. never really covered that did they?
Jack should make a DIY channel on youtube. We'd all like to know how to make homemade ZPM's. Fast forward 10 years, Tau'ri took over all Asgard knowledge and are in possession of an Ancient city-ship, freaking awesome.
Well, we are in possession of the asgard database of knowledge, but to keep the comparison simple.... Check for Wikipedia, how to build a rocket and try to actually built one. We are in possession of Atlantis, but even if you own a car, try to built one.
The Russians the British then we're Norwegians in Australia four great races of World War II the ancients then again it could be the Romans the Egyptians the Norseman Greek what would you like to know
The thing that I never see talked about is the various statements about Jack's evolution being just a *bit* further along than average. It very well could be the only thing that kept his whole brain from melting down sooner.
we already know enough about the furlings, they gave up their technology to live in a secluded paradise in peace but the goa'uld snuck in some poison plant that made them crazy and die off. the episode where jack and harry get stuck there..
