Not “Wars,” not “Trek'—the other one. trentlmoore explores the rich history of Stargate, the biggest sci-fi franchise you've (probably) never heard of, and how to watch it all:

brand into a television series, so they brought in sci-fi vets Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassier who had a unique pitch for how to take the film and adapt it for television. The twist? The Stargate doesn’t just go to that one planet from the film, but potentially thousands of planets across the universe—making the perfect set-up for an “adventure of the week” sci-fi series.

Richard Dean Anderson took over the military role originated by Russell, bringing a bit more levity to it . The cast is rounded out by Micheal Shanks, taking over Spader’s role as Daniel Jackson, and newcomers Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge , who together make up the core ensemble of SG-1, the flagship team of military explorers who will use the Stargate.

Showtime decided to pull the plug on the series after five seasons, which is when the Sci-Fi Channel stepped in to save it . Sci-Fi eventually renewed it for another five years, bringing the total run to 10 seasons. The cast would shake up a bit along the way in the later years, withalumni Ben Browder and Claudia Black eventually joining the series, and Anderson’s role reduced to “recurring” in those final seasons.

After the series wrapped, the creators would go on to produce two direct-to-DVD to continue the story with a couple more adventures.
