Stargate, the movie, was pretty tiresome. It was set up as a great idea (well, for a boy who read all the Eric von Daniken in the local library it was) but then it was a case of really, another hour and half to fill? Which they did with Kurt Russell gurning. But the series was a lot better. Because it had Jack, mosty. But the others were OK, other than Daniel who was professionally useless. And the baddies who were consistently the poorest shots in the entire universe. And every planet looking a exactly like British Columbia. There was Chevron Guy too, we like him in our house. I wouldn't trust anyone else to open a stargate for me. That man could lock a chevron.
Other values of Stargate were not as good, of course, though I watched them all out of religious obligation.
