[~Benjamin~]

[Xicer]

And the saddest thing of all is...I would actually watch it.

LOL. Not me - I would run far and fast from anything with David Caruso in it. Even if it was Stargate.

[Zatarc]

Ahahaha. A lot of work for a good laugh, good job though

Amen to that.

Same goes for me. He would single-handedly kill the franchise.

And then he would investigate himself.

my point is that we've seen 3 "civilizations" if not races, that have given, or can give the ancients a run for their money... and to have a comletely new race that is equal to or better than the ancients is the same thing as the Ori...

as for the genii and other races, sure, there are some equal to us, but nothing has ever been explored on the series level where our equal-race is our main enemy... its only been done to fill plot points, or for single, isolated episodes...

i'm talking about a main villain... like the goa'uld, ori, or asurans... but also a race that is the mirror image of us: alone, never touched by aliens, accidentally discovering a stargate network, etc... besides, the genii don't stand a chance against us... never did...

Question is, why would the "other us" want to butt heads with us? The Genii hold/held a grudge because we woke up the Wraith early.

Question is, why would the "other us" want to butt heads with us? The Genii hold/held a grudge because we woke up the Wraith early.

there could be any one of a number of reasons...

we pissed them off by accidentally destroying something sacred of theirs
we awakened a centuries old enemy
they're jealous of us because we managed to master intergalactic travel before them
they view us as a threat in their part of the galaxy
or the classic bully: they think they're better than us

Maybe cheveron nine allows you to open a wormhole to planets that don't have a stargate on them?

and how would that work?

i theorized that ages ago

basically it would work by opening a wormhole in a random/predesignated star system with a planet on it (or on the planet itself, however i prefer the former) there is some kind of technology you have to take through that sends subspace signals back to the gate so the gate can dial up a "reverse flow" wormhole to retrieve the gateship/team, also the team could leave a subspace transmitter there incase they want to return, that subspace transmitter would be calibrated with a certain gate address, (but that is assuming the "single gate" wormholes don't already have pre determined destinations, which is another possibility)

[Major_Griff]

and how would that work?

I'll leave that to Robert Cooper, but AvatarIII has it worked out pretty well. Any anyway, I was just spitballing.

personally out of all the ideas flying about, it's my favourite
time travel and dimension shifting both go against canon,
going to more gates in other galaxies means that they need to rewrite the alteran history to say they actually went to loads more galaxies (and it's rather similar idea to atlantis)
connecting to another species equivilent of stargates is an alright idea, but how will people get back to earth? especially if you need to take a huge power source or zpm with you everytime and then work out how to uplink it to an alien technology

[elrondaragorn]

true . lol

i hope it doesnt turn into trek-gate!!!!

Trek Gate?
