Stargates Explained | Stargate Lore

The Stargate, a powerful ancient structure shrouded in mystery. These perplexing devices are what makes space exploration possible even for less advanced non-space faring civilizations. The Stargate franchise has continued to enrich the lore surrounding these unique transportation devices and in this video I discuss how Stargates work and briefly examine the impact this ancient technology has had on the universe. In this video we cover the lore of Stargates in SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe

I bought the giant blu-ray boxed set this March and have been slowly going through the entire series for the first time in years. I had forgotten how great this series is. I’m hoping we can get a fourth series one day.

I find the TV series deepened and enriched the original movie. The weird thing is thig unlying science fiction seemed to lurch and in the first season or season until they found their walking legs

One of the stargate sg1 stories had the best alien occupation scenario I've ever heard of before. The aliens came to earth and offered advanced technology including a medication to extend our lifespans by another 200 years. What the humans didn't realize until it was too late was that the same medication was making everyone sterile and unable to give birth. All the aliens did was outlive the humans.

I love your channel and I absolutely adore Stargate.TY for this awesome nerdy moment. Kawoosh!

[michaelpipkin]

I saw Stargate in theaters. God, I had no clue of the expanse of the lore.

I love this channel more with every video...

[lucycarr]

I hope the new series embraces how powerful and technologically advanced the Tau'ri have become by this point in the series; we're the dominant force in the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies, and we are in possession of the entirety of the Ancients and Asgard's repositories of knowledge. The gates in the next series should be gates that have been built by us as "the second evolution of the Ancients" start seeding other galaxies planets with gates to explore them.

Cookies, really thinking you are spying on me. I just restarted Stargate Atlantis YESTERDAY!.

Whether it be the Dune universe, 40k, Stargate, Hyperion Cantos or any of the other vast science fiction worlds the need for a travel “McGuffin” is necessary. The sheer vastness of space would never allow for any coherent story telling if people had to travel in real time to other galaxies. I think this is a necessity for any rational story telling in these universes. You also have your basic backstory with these as well. Either it existed and was discovered, Mass Effect, or it was perfected over time like the Navigators in Dune. In 40k it became a location of psychic and emotional hellscapes, an interesting twist. I do not think it detracts from the story to have such a device present.

Honestly I loved how the Gates were used as a storytelling device, allowing for diverse human populations across the galaxy, and godlike super aliens even though that point fanned the flames of the Ancient Aliens theory.

I remember in the first few episodes that when they went through the Stargate they appeared on the other side with frost on them. They would be rubbing their hands and arms because they were so cold.
Then, with no explanation that I can remember, there were suddenly no cold issues whatsoever.
Does anyone else remember this and if it was explained, or just an abandoned aspect of Stargate travel?

[soulassassin]

I’ve never got into stargate but see how it influenced other franchises like mass effect relays and Star Wars with the kwa hypergates.

[adrianalcala]

I love Stargate! Thanks for this. We need more Stargate content on YouTube (and TV).

[MysteryMastery]

I consider myself fairly well read on most of the topics you've presented so far, but I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. There's a little nugget I missed or forgot in almost every video, and to have this all delivered in such a soothing voice is even better! Please keep it coming, you're definitely on of my favourite creators on the platform.

[allnamesaretakenful]

I like the Space Gates. Puddle Jumpers FTW!

[grokeffer]

That's some serious technology. I'd never fully realized how impressive it was.

[CantankerousDave]

Also, the symbols on the DHD all have a phonetic equivalent, allowing addresses to be spoken like names.

[michaelhearson]

Huge fan of the franchise and all three shows. Was disappointed when SG:U was canceled abruptly. Would be cool if the series was continued. I think the Star Gates the devices are very awesome and are utilized in my practical and non-practical ways. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to the next video. 😁👽👾🤖

[deanlawson]

My favorite of the gates is definitely the Atlantis and Pegasus Galaxy gates. They are the "Digital" equivalent of the more "Analog" style gates that are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Can you just imagine if we managed to find one here, like in the Stargate movie, and manage to get it working? That would change... Everything!!

Hey Nerd! Or Cookies. Found your channel really by accident. I was recommended one of you Stargate lore vids one night, and since I found it to be very well done, and super accurate when it game to the lore, I decided to check out your channel. Been really loving you Dune Lore vids as the only stuff I knew of Dune before watching your videos, was from the games Dune 2, Dune 2000, and the David Lynch movie (one of my favorite movies). Even though Lynch didn't follow the book all the well, I still love the movie. Guess I just wanted to say keep doing what you are doing. they are very good videos.

Thank you for featuring the Stargate franchise! :)
