I wonder what they'll think of the Russian team...

[Martouf84]

We should install spycams in russian livingrooms for the episodes "The tomb" and "watergate" ;-)

To be serious I think they will take it with humor as do I when Germany is mentioned (allways the badguys, I know^^)

[Matt G]

Heck, some eps of Spooks/MI5 were liable to p.o Americans, I've heard some Germans weren't happy with the Nazi alien arc in Enterprise... - though if I was in charge of NTV I'd set up my own spinoff centreing on the Russian program which occasional guesting from the US characters if the budget's big enough to pay them!

Having watched Russian television (in Russia, not the US satellite broadcasts) I question whether what the Russian people will see is actually "Stargate" or whether it will be a linguistically butchered/culturally confused "Stargate!" Of course, when I was there in '92, any programs/movies from the West were generally only available on video tape and most of them were pirated. I remember watching "Dances With Wolves" - the entire movie had Chinese subtitles across the bottom and there was a single Russian man speaking over everyone for all the dialogue. He was translating on the fly . . . so although I was very impressed at his ability to translate quickly, all emotion/significance/meaning was pretty lost. Then, whenever the Lakota were speaking (originally with English subtitles), you couldn't understand anything they were saying because the English subtitles were covered up by Chinese subtitles and the Russian translater didn't speak Sioux or Chinese! As beautiful and well-done as that movie was, it was boring and confusing a la Russian! The sad part was that this movie could have been an interesting cultural lesson/experience for a Russian audience since they had practically no knowledge about the "American West" and the westward expansion in the 19th century. Not to mention the Native American population and history!

So, I hope that since "Stargate" will be shown on a television network that they have gone through legal channels and worked with MGM to get the translations accurate and well-done. Much of the cultural humor is untranslatable, but hopefully they will still get across that it is supposed to be humorous and not offensive, as often happens. (unfortunately)

It says The Stargate...so does that mean SG-1 or the movie Stargate?

[Sierra Golf 1]

Im sure they'll just lovve O'Neill in 'The Tomb'

We have to assume its SG1, seeing as how the movie is a worldwide release, and the Russians have had acess to it for some time.

[Meto]

Well, I am Russian, living in Estonia, and I used to watch Sg-1 when it was shown on russian television for the first time. They didn't go further than Season 2 I believe, and all the episodes were dubbed, so you couldn't hear the original voices of the cast. I doubt it will be much different this time around.

As for the impression itself, I think it's a great series, and I've watched every single episode up today (I download it of course, but no other choice really since it's never shown in Estonia). "Russian" episodes are of course amusing to watch from my point of view since even SG-1 couldn't resist the temptation to present the steretypical "cold war" view of russian military. But can't blame them really - you should have watched some russian series with the same approach to "dumb americans". It's all a matter of perspective

The funniest bit of this "russian" theme was when two russian seamen discovered a replicator (Can't remember the name of the episode), and one of the said in russian "Ah, that's the bug from the previous episode!"

[Sarcazmo The Clown]

LOL....is that REALLY what he said? I always wondered, but I didn't take Russian long enough to be able to follow what's said on TV past "my god" or "hello", and those are obvious because of what would be happening on the screen...

[Ugly Pig]

LOL....is that REALLY what he said?

Yep... They even say so on the audio commentary on the DVD.

[Liv]

"Ah, that's the bug from the previous episode!"

LOL. I just love that.

That and the translation of the Goa'uld message, from another thread, about roses and red violets. And something about how the wheels on the bus go round and round... Hysterical.

[Egle01]

It was shown on TV3 in 2000 or something. And now it's being shown on TV6.
