We're here for ya.
Ready to go!
- Just say the word! - This fall...
Open the iris.
..the gate is open.
- The stakes are higher. - Tough crowd.
- And the danger's coming home again. - Let's go!
Jump to the next level of adventure with Richard Dean Anderson
and the SG-1 team.
- Job well done. - lt was nothing.
When the gate is opened...
Oh, my God!
..the adventure of a lifetime is only just beginning.
- What are you doing? - Don't touch it!
And the journey to exciting new worlds begins with the first step.
A gateway to the imagination has been opened
and a new universe of action and adventure has been unleashed,
led by the talented Richard Dean Anderson.
l was a big fan of lndiana Jones.
That kind of thing was my genre.
That was always the most attractive, you know, action adventure.
Known around the world as the star of MacGyver,
Richard Dean Anderson made his return to television as Colonel Jack O'Neill.
General,
let me take a team through that gate.
We're talking about a military man who totes guns,
and that's how he goes off into his world and his day's work.
MacGyver was the other side of that.
Sort of the softer... Left side, right side of the brain.
Anderson heads a cast of talented actors,
some of whom have worked with him before.
On MacGyver, they had
Richard Dean Anderson's boss played by an actor named Dana Elcar.
l look a bit like him and l used to be a little heavier,
so l became his photo double and now l'm playing Richard's boss on Stargate.
- Colonel O'Neill. - Sir?
Your team will be designated SG-1 .
This is a very pleasant return to roots.
What's it like to work with Richard Dean Anderson?
Oh, here we go! Another scientist. General, please.
Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is an order.
Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside, not the outside,
doesn't mean l can't handle whatever you can.
l was gonna say ladies first.
Got a great sense of humour. We all do,
which is why we have such a great chemistry.
Behind-the-scenes romance here.
We've wasted far too much footage because we've been screwing around.
But in the end it leads to a really positive environment.
lnspired by the MGM blockbuster feature film Stargate...
Chevron seven. Locked!
..this original series continues to create a science fiction legacy,
inspiring a new standard of excellence.
Sha're!
The series really does pick up where the movie left off.
We find out, in fact, that the gate goes many other places.
That's really the opportunity of the series. We go all over the galaxy.
What we think is so great about Stargate is it's set here today with us,
you and me going through the Stargate.
The gate is a doorway that leads you directly to another world.
l'd go through the Stargate. l'd like things to be in line
when you did step through that wall o' water.
Can you imagine if it was like a brick wall on the other side?
Kind of messy.
The most exciting thing about Stargate is the same thing as with Outer Limits,
the almost infinite possibilities of whatever world we could go to.
None of us really have any concept of what's out there.
Shot on location in Vancouver, Canada,
every episode of Stargate SG-1 is an amazing collaboration
of the most talented designers and special effects creators in the industry.
We have a terrific visual effects department.
Any number of filmic tricks are used to achieve the look.
All good science fiction is metaphorical. lt's a way to study ourselves.
When you use situations on a parallel world that mirror situations on Earth,
maybe that will make people stop and think about the wars we fight,
what they're for, the way we treat people,
and what is the result of how we interact with people.
Come on!
l have nowhere to go.
For this, you can stay at my place. Let's go!
This should be a show that entertains
and that allows people to think beyond what they normally think about.
We're gonna tell stories - the most intriguing, philosophical, poignant stories,
interesting, adventurous stories that we can possibly do.
Let me put it nicely. Get me the hell outta here!
- lt's a winner! - Join Richard Dean Anderson
as he continues to lead the way on the greatest journey of all time.
You are about to embark on a top-secret military mission.
Through a doorway of adventure.
Over the threshold of time.
To the point of no return.
Richard Dean Anderson takes adventure to a whole new dimension.
You just never know what will be on the other side
until you get there.
Stargate SG-1.
The gateway to the edge of the universe.
