I've been enjoying reruns of the Stargate series. Are there others? Have you noticed any Stargate references? There is one very noticeable one on every world in pirate's Spiral. Have you looked at the transportalator? It is so Stargate.

Well, there you go. They said it on KingsIsle Live... Go Stargate!

Oh no! I missed it. I'll have to check it when it goes up on Youtube. And, COOL! Been watching the re-runs on Comet channel. Had to love the funny episodes like "The other guys", appearances by Star Trek actors, and the Goa'uld with the bat'leth on the wall of weapons. Col. O'Neil kept wanting to name their spaceship the Enterprise, and everyone said, "NO."

Hehe!

Thanks for the heads up. YES! Falmea wants more Stargate references! And I noticed One- eyed Jack mentioned you, in your ship, Helpful Aurora Parker, during KI Live! I think the other Stargate reference Falmea and Decieus mentioned in passing has to do with names. Hadn't mentioned it before, here, cause it's in Wiz, but Celestia and Avalon came up in Stargate, related to the Ancients. Also, those Celestians in Wiz remind me of Thor and his friends in Stargate, just a bit taller though.

LOL! Yes, he did mention me when I asked where he was, LOL. He also mentioned me when he was calling out all the different Pirates that were gathered together at Skull Mountain. Hehe - sharp eyes (and ears)!

Did you catch the line in the first season about the possibility of having to "MacGyver" their way home if they get stuck, since the actor who played Col. O'Neil also played the original MacGyver.

But yes, In pirates, the transportalators, and their Krokotopian keepers are the main Stargate references I've seen. I can't think of any others really.

Yes, I did catch that one, and loved it. There aren't many references, YET, but the ones that are, are kind of so big and present in game, you don't notice them much, transportalator, Avalon, and Celestia. You had to get pretty far into Stargate seasons for those places to get mentioned. With all the Arthurian stuff in Avalon, it fits. Which I guess would make Ambrose an Ancient. It is not nearly as noticeable as the Firefly stuff in pirate, which was also great. Loved those Captain Reynolds quests. Would love him on my crew.

Over on the Firefly thread, Helpful Aurora Parker suggested that Sgt. Shepherd could be a reference to Shepherd Book. That made me think of Col. John Sheppard on "Stargate: Atlantis".

Hmm... Who knows?

I've been checking out Stargate Universe lately. It's been funny to see familiar actors from shows like "Agents of Shield", "Scorpion", "Once Upon a Time", "Longmire", and "SWAT" in there. It certainly seems to be the darkest feeling Stargate.

My goodness, when I saw Melinda May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in some of the Stargate pictures (Ming-Na Wen), I couldn't believe it! Were there any other actors from there?

I haven't spotted any others from "S.H.I.E.L.D.", but I haven't done a search looking for people who may have held smaller roles in either series, so I can't rule it out. I can say that the Stargate shows are good places to look for actors you've seen in other series. The actor who played Dr Phlox, in "Enterprise", was also in "Stargate SG1", in a funny episode, and one of the stars from "Firefly" and "Serenity", was a main cast member on "Stargate; Atlantis". It's not sci fi, but an amazing number of people, both stars, and ones who later became stars, have been in "ER", including Ming-Na Wen, as one of the med students, and in later seasons one of the regular doctors. Ewan McGregor (Star Wars I-III etc.) also appeared in a small role in ER.

Do you think they are working on something Krok and Stargate related right now, from KI Live off-hand comments? The big question is, if they are, is it for Wiz or Pirate? I hope Pirate, because Wiz already has part of Krokotopia, and some of our pirates are from there too.
