I realize the movie isn't out yet, but the book is, and from what I have read about the plot of each, it sounds as if there is a lot of similarities?
The Host is a book by Stephanie Meyers (Twilight), and it has:
-small intelligent worm-like aliens come to Earth, conquer it, take humans as hosts
-they enter through the neck
-the claim the host is gone when they take them, so they don't feel they do anything wrong
-the free humans fight the aliens
of course the aliens also say they do this to save the planet from human war and pollution, so not quite the Goa'uld, even if I'm sure the Goa'uld think they do the right thing too.
Stephanie Meyers say she just got the idea during a trip, nothing about being inspired by anything else.
Also, I haven't seen more than a very few note the similarities, so it may just be me (and the few others?)
There are a lot of differences, I realize that. The Host has a love-triangle (where the parasite/host is affected by the others feelings for someone). That at least is different, since Stargate didn't have anything like that.
So, what do you think? Inspired by Stargate or coincidence?
