    Stargate: the original movie- what should have been kept as part of SG-1?

    They changed a lot in the series, but is there anything you wish they kept??

    Erm... cant think of anything of the top of my head.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint... it happens to kinda look like the name 'Jeremy Bearimy' in cursive English.

      The Anubis helmets. It would have been great if some of Anubis' jaffa wore them. Other than that I can't think of anything.

        The way Sha're was portrayed. The original one seemed smarter, more suited for Daniel. The actresses were both good and very pretty, it was how the part was written.

          I would have preferred that all the chevrons worked rather than just the one moving at the top.

            Actually, I am glad TPTB made the changes they did for the show.

              I second this! Had I not been smart and watched the original movie before Children of the Gods I would've thought to myself "why is Daniel so in love with her? She's nothing special..." based on how she was written...I was always disappointed with the direction they took the Daniel/Sha're relationship and the character herself. I would've liked to maybe see more of Sha're as a villain so we can connect more with her, then maybe have her actually redeemed in the end and instead of being killed, saved.
              That is just my two cents.

                I definitely miss the transforming headpieces that Ra's Jaffa wore. That was my favorite effect from the movie. They tried to recreate it with a practical effect: Apophis's snake helmets that actually opened up. It was a weird idea and didn't really work. At least they tried.

                  I miss them too. At least we got to see one again in Moebius when Teal'c had to retrieve the ZPM.

                    I think the actors in the movie did a great job. James Spader was great, Kurt Rusel was awesome, just...the hair... needs work.

                      i actually love how Ra's minions look in the movie. I know that they are not Jaffa exactly, but i think the design looks more authentic in terms of the Ancient Egypt link. Whilst i like the military style of the Jaffas outfits in SG1, i think they look rather boring compared to the movie. But hey, thats just me :-)

                        not many but,...very little actually...

                        definitely Horus and Anubis costumes. The way they animate.. it was really cool

                        The sound of the gliders... in the movie their sound was much more threatening.. Sound more like regular turbojets.

                        pyramids instead of tetrahedrons (New Hatak switched to the latter shape and at times was ridiculous when a tetrahedron lands on a pyramid ) The Hatak in Stargate SG-1 was a new ship compared to Ra's ship, but I think they shouldn't have changed the basic shape/inner shape to a tetrahedron. Keep the main shape as a pyramid and add new bells as whistles around it.

                        Abydos was the planet, Nagada (IIRC) was where the slaves lived...
