    Stargate (1994) vs SG-1 : Continuity differences

    This has most probably been noticed before, but I was just watching the Stargate movie, and at the start when they first open the gate one of the scientists in the control room states
    "It's on the other side of the known universe" (referring to Abydos).
    There are two problems with this statement.
    1. The stargate only goes to inside this GALAXY without the 8th Chevron
    2. It is stated in SG-1 that Abydos is the closest planet to earth with a Stargate.

    Adapting Stargate into SG1 resulted in a few contuniity errors on the part of the movie

        There are actually a few continuity errors. With that being the big glaring one.

        There is the size of the Stargate in the movie when you compare it to the one in SG-1, there are the Chevrons that move in the movie and not in SG-1. There is the back of the Stargate in the movie compared to SG-1 (There is a cone shape vortex in the back of the gate in the movie, when there isn't one in SG-1.). There is the Gate room it's self, the one in the movie is tiny compared to SG-1. Then there is the whole mountain situation. In the movie it is Creek Mountain and in SG1 it is Cheyenne Mountain. Then there is what the Control Room looks like.
        Spins and turns, angles and curves, the shape of dreams half remembered. Slip the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of perfection. A perfect face, a perfect lace, find a perfect world for the end of Kara Thrace.
        End of line.

          They're not exactly errors, the SG-1 canon is separate, the writers knew exactly what they were doing.

            TPTB found it easier to manage a galaxy vs managing a universe. that is why they decided to have Abydos in our galaxy vs on the other side of the universe.
            if you see a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just a photon torpedo.

              You forgot the biggest change of all: Jack O'Neil became Jack O'Neill.

                  There are no continuity errors. The movie and SG-1 are not separate. The producers simply made creative changes to the premise so the TV show would be more interesting.

                    The two canons are separate, neither canon directly affects the other. In the movie canon the events of the series don't apply, and in the series the events of the movie only apply loosely.

                        The main canon consists of...

                        Stargate (the movie)
                        SG-1 Seasons 1-7
                        SG-1 Seasons 8-10 / Atlantis Seasons 1-3
                        The Ark of Truth
                        Atlantis Seasons 4-5
                        Continuum (early SG:A Season 5)

                        The differences between the movie and TV show do not make them separate. Use your imagination and accept that creative changes were made to make the premise TV friendly. MGM considers the show an official continuation of the movie as does everyone involved. You can call them separate all you want, but they aren't.

                          What you've described is the Brad/Rob endorsed canon, there is no 'main canon'. The movie was made by Devlin and Emmerich, they don't endorse the series and therefore the two canons are separate. Brad and Rob don't accept the movie as canon, they've changed the events and characters, therefore in relation to the series, the movie is no more than a reference material, only loosely tied to the series. You can call the changed creative decisions all you want, but the fact is Brad and Rob don't control the movie canon so they're in no positions to make those decisions (neither are MGM), SG-1 was a re-imagined version of the movie if anything, the storyline, tone and even characters have been changed massively, apart from the premise the two canons are nothing alike.

                          MGM considers the show an official continuation of the movie as does everyone involved. You can call them separate all you want, but they aren't.
                          MGM considers the comics to be a direct continuation of the series, are they canon too?

                            What I described is what I consider the main canon.

                            The movie was made by Devlin and Emmerich, they don't endorse the series and therefore the two canons are separate.
                            Wether they endorse SG-1 or not is irelavent. SG-1 picks up where the movie left off with the same characters, locations, and stories; therefore it is a canon continuation. Should there be sequels made to the original movie, there would be two official continuations. The original movie and it's two sequels would be one canon. The original movie, TV shows, and movies based on those shows would be another canon.

                            Brad and Rob don't accept the movie as canon, they've changed the events and characters, therefore in relation to the series, the movie is no more than a reference material, only loosely tied to the series.
                            What? Are you kidding me? "Children of the Gods" plays out as a direct sequel to the movie. Same characters, same locations. O'Neill comes back out of retirement, Daniel is still on Abydos with Sha're, and Ra is revealed to not have been the last of his species as ancient Abydonians had once thought. You're refusal to accept the movie as part of SG-1 is downright hysterical!

                            You can call the changed creative decisions all you want
                            Thanks, because that's exactly what they are.

                            but the fact is Brad and Rob don't control the movie canon so they're in no positions to make those decisions (neither are MGM)
                            Since when is MGM not in control? Devlin and Emmerich have been trying to make Stargate 2, but MGM has repeatedly denied them, because they consider SG-1 as the official continuation of the movie.

                            SG-1 was a re-imagined version of the movie if anything
                            I will agree that a lot was reimagined, but that doesn't mean it's not a continuation.

                            the storyline, tone and even characters have been changed massively, apart from the premise the two canons are nothing alike.
                            The storyline, tone, and characters did not change. The only thing of any significance that changed was Ra from being a man-like alien within a Human body to being a snake-like parasite who abandoned an alien host in favor of a Human host. All other changes have been cosmetic such as recasting, different sets, the Stargate chevrons glowing, Sha'uri to Sha're, and so on.

                            MGM considers the comics to be a direct continuation of the series, are they canon too?
                            Comics? What comics?

                              We might as well end this discussion here, as if you don't think the storyline, tone and characters changed then we're obviously living in different realities. Your argument probably should have probably ended after your first sentence: 'What I described is what I consider the main canon.' Because that's true, but that's all it is.
