Re:Stargate and the world
I hated the Stargate movie for that reason (jingoism and expansionism are built into the premise).
It was almost as if the American’s wanted to take back the chariots of gods premise for themselves (ancient Egypt might have been colonized by aliens, but the American military industrial complex were now going to be the centre of the universe ).
Take that Nancy boy, or whose crying now?!
The series simply took over the ball game and ran with it – no wonder its popular with people who don’t really like sci fi.
