I finally sat down to watch the original Stargate movie from 1994. After watching both SG1 and SGA, it felt kind of obligatory before I (at last) could be able to title myself a "true" stargate fan. As you sure know, early in the movie, we follow professor Langford and young Catherine as they unearth the stargate in Giza. Being a Swede myself, I couldn't help but notice that both professor Langford and one of his assistants spoke in swedish... What the? I've searched for information about Langford's origin for hours now, but it's not mentioned anywhere on the internet.
So... if the expedition in Giza was conducted by Swedes... The stargate should actually belong to Sweden! Do you understand how that would change the whole stargate universe? First of all, the stargate would be called a "stjärnport", it would be located somewhere in Stockholm, and the members of the SP-teams would have names like Sven, Göran, Olof, Karin and Greta. IKEA would spread like a disease over the milky way galaxy, replacing all boring goa'uld interior with trendy furniture like the bookcase "Billy" and the table "Tålig"... And ABBA would make the first interplanetary concert ever in tau'ri history on Tollana... Oh, and who wants an Al'kesh when they can drive an interstellar Volvo instead?
Yeah... That's what would happen if we had the stargate...
