Gate. Because no one actually knows what stargate is, but it makes both the star wars, and star treck nerds mad

Colonel O'Neill would like to know your location.

O"Neill: "You tell me where you're at and then I'm going to open your iris!"

Teal'c: raises eyebrow

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's 'O'Neill', with two L's. There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L, and he has no sense of humor at all.

That's a quote from the TV show, it's referencing that in the original movie O'Neil is written with one L and he's a serious character, but on the TV show he's named O'Neill with 2 Ls and makes jokes regularly.

To quote an old comment of mine:

Is that the one with the gates deep in space? Deep gate 9 or something?

They found a way to connect to faraway regions of space and shortcut the journey, and decided a facility was necessary to protect against hostile intrusions and be a hub. Also something about returning control to the natives. Religion / religious zealots bad.

There's no place like

(Would it be cringe to get a T-shirt made that says that?)

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 33 minutes ago

Now I know the symbol for Localhost! :D

Lol that'd be an awesome T-shirt.

No one who is young enough to performatively judge someone’s clothing knows what Stargate is. Thanks for nothing Amazon.

[–] BlueOysterCultist@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are your thoughts on the Ori story? I felt like the Goa’uld was peak star gate and didn’t care much for seasons after that. Episodically it’s fine, but the overall story wasn’t as gripping.

I am interested in checking out FarScape though since it’s those same characters

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stargate movie was peak Stargate

[–] BlueOysterCultist@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Richard dean anderson and crew make it for me

I didn’t even see the movie until years after watching Stargate on TV

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I know that one, but I call it MacGuyver 2.

[–] MalReynolds@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair-ish, can't find the big guy being asked trek or wars and going gate meme. I like 'em all, but I'm not out to make people mad (troll). Like the agency in gate, the competence and evolved ethics from trek and the swashbuckling from wars.

Many know, many care. However, I found this. mYLo4fW93B6VCCS.gif while looking for the big guy, which I may use inappropriately for a while, thanks.

I loved Spike in both Buffy and Angel. What a delight.

Like this scene where he blacked out all his windows in his car windows so he can drive it the day time.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Star Blazers for the same reason.
