Stargate Atlantis/SG1 - SG1/SGA - Sci-Fi Science: The Stargate Pages

As a small group of professional scientists we thought it would be a good idea to create a fun website to explore the true science underlying popular science fiction. The site is split into two parts, the serious discussion of the science behind common science fiction themes, such as time travel etc and a fun part, such as why we got interested in science and what we consider to be the greatest Sci-Fi films ever made.
Wherever you are if you want the serious stuff click on an Einstein and for the fun stuff click on a Dalek [at the site.]

Welcome to the Stargate pages
Stargate is a solid second to Dr Who with SG-1 lasting 10 seasons. Stargate has all the major Sci-Fi themes - time travel, crystals for power and communication, teleporters, lots of aliens (particularly liked the replicators!), hyperdrive systems and shields.
The characters from both SG-1 and Atlantis have been excellent but it's the baddies once again that steal the show. There is an excellent selection of books and DVDs available.
Now that SG-1 is off our screens, what did we think of the last episode. Our opinion is that it was awful. It's main focus seemed to be to tie up lots of loose ends in preparation of a feature film (about the Ori we guess). We thought the mass suicide of the Asguard made absolutely no sense at all. If they had developed an energy weapon capable of destroying an Ori ship and they had a large fleet of ships why didn't they just destroy the Ori ships - instead they fitted all the technology onto one ship and then blew up everything else. Perhaps we've missed something - if we have please contact us and explain.
