Stargate SG1

Stargate SG1 is an excellent SciFi series that is based on a series of Stargates, the first is discovered & dug up in Egypt and they eventually learn how it works and start travelling to distant planets by walking thru the Stargate. The SG1 squad is comprised of excellent actors including Richard Dean Anderson (Colonel Jack O’Neill), Michael Shanks (Dr Daniel Jackson), Amanda Tapping (Major Samantha Carter), Christopher Judge (Teal’c), Don Davis is the commander (General Hammond) and Teryl Rothery is the hot Doctor Janet Fraiser.

The series had a good run for 10 seasons and spawned some great offshoots. Stargate Atlantis & Stargate Universe. The offshoots have definite different feel to them and the Atlantis series can be a little extreme for some, my wife doesn’t like it due to the Wraiths which are nasty aliens and nasty looking also. I do enjoy their story lines though and they added some excellent actors such as Ben Crowder as Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell, Beau Bridges as Major General Hank Landry, Claudia Black as Vala Mal Doran, Corin Nemec as Jonas Quinn and of course I have to mention Tony Amendola as Master Bra’tac and Carmen Argenziano as Jacob Carter/ Selmak. They have many more excellent actors in additional roles and repeat visitors that make for an excellent series.

If you haven’t seen any of the Stargate series yet give them a try and if you are a SciFi fan you are sure to enjoy them!
