I saw the movie Stargate and was fascinated by the background story. I love science fiction and story plots about other planets and civilizations. I started watching the television series Stargate SG-1 years ago off and on years ago when it was on network television.
The story plots are inspiring, the actors are fantastic. The Goa'ulds, Jaffa, etc. are hateful. They are predators of humans scattered throughout the universe. The premise that the ancient mythology of gods and goddesses which were worshipped by the human race, but were actually beings with advanced technology is what initially got my interest.
I recently found Stargate SG-1 on Netflix which makes it easy to take my time and watch all 10 seasons. I am on season 1, episode 16 and thoroughly enjoying travelling through the Stargate with them and advancing mankind wherever they exist in the planetary system.
