Can someone explain something to me?
In "Stargate" (the movie), they killed the last Ra. Or is this just people using stargates?
The television series continues where the movie left off.
The movie was intended to be a start-end movie without sequels.
The producers of the television series isn't directly affiliated with the producers of the movie. So, the relation between the movie and the television series is indirect.
Anyways,
Stargate SG-1 points out that there were more Stargates on other planets. Ra was a god. Notice how I said "a god"? Yep, there are more aliens posing as multiple gods. There's Anubis, Ra, Osiris, and many more. Watch the series and you'll see more!
Stargate Atlantis adds more to the story.
Stargate SG-1 focuses on planets within our galaxy.
Stargate Atlantis focuses on planets in another galaxy. After
Stargate Atlantis started, both series revealed even a bigger secret.
There are 10 years of
Stargate SG-1 and 5 years of
Stargate Atlantis. I suggest you get started with watching them.
I first saw
Stargate SG-1 when it was released on DVD as the pilot episode only. I thought it was a "straight-to-DVD" sequel and more would be made as
Stargate SG-2,
Stargate SG-3, etc... but I was wrong. I didn't find out that it was a long-running series until after the 5th season. After I started watching the series, I became addicted!
so I'm gonna wait until the price come down more.
