1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,309
We're here for ya.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,275
Ready to go!

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,111
- Just say the word!
- This fall...

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,195
Open the iris.

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,151
..the gate is open.

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,950
- The stakes are higher.
- Tough crowd.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,833
- And the danger's coming home again.
- Let's go!

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,589
Jump to the next level of adventure
with Richard Dean Anderson

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,039
and the SG-1 team.

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,436
- Job well done.
- lt was nothing.

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,874
When the gate is opened...

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,869
Oh, my God!

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,595
..the adventure of a lifetime
is only just beginning.

14
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,116
- What are you doing?
- Don't touch it!

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,279
And the journey to exciting new worlds
begins with the first step.

16
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:53,755
A gateway to the imagination
has been opened

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,759
and a new universe of action
and adventure has been unleashed,

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,348
led by the talented
Richard Dean Anderson.

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,869
l was a big fan of lndiana Jones.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,037
That kind of thing was my genre.

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,151
That was always the most attractive,
you know, action adventure.

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,919
Known around the world
as the star of MacGyver,

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,716
Richard Dean Anderson made his return
to television as Colonel Jack O'Neill.

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,478
General,

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,194
let me take a team through that gate.

26
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,437
We're talking about a military man
who totes guns,

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,394
and that's how he goes off
into his world and his day's work.

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,431
MacGyver was the other side of that.

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,519
Sort of the softer...
Left side, right side of the brain.

30
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,313
Anderson heads a cast of talented actors,

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,670
some of whom have
worked with him before.

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,519
On MacGyver, they had

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,758
Richard Dean Anderson's boss
played by an actor named Dana Elcar.

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,678
l look a bit like him
and l used to be a little heavier,

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,989
so l became his photo double and now
l'm playing Richard's boss on Stargate.

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,838
- Colonel O'Neill.
- Sir?

37
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,110
Your team will be designated SG-1 .

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,629
This is a very pleasant return to roots.

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,718
What's it like to work
with Richard Dean Anderson?

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,116
Oh, here we go! Another scientist.
General, please.

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,630
Captain Carter's assignment
to this unit is an order.

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,389
Just because my reproductive organs
are on the inside, not the outside,

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,080
doesn't mean l can't handle
whatever you can.

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,111
l was gonna say ladies first.

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,390
Got a great sense of humour. We all do,

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080
which is why we have
such a great chemistry.

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,077
Behind-the-scenes romance here.

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,875
We've wasted far too much footage
because we've been screwing around.

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,039
But in the end
it leads to a really positive environment.

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,789
lnspired by the MGM
blockbuster feature film Stargate...

51
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,717
Chevron seven. Locked!

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,753
..this original series continues
to create a science fiction legacy,

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,474
inspiring a new standard of excellence.

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,555
Sha're!

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,070
The series really does pick up
where the movie left off.

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,590
We find out, in fact,
that the gate goes many other places.

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,475
That's really the opportunity of the series.
We go all over the galaxy.

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,513
What we think is so great about Stargate
is it's set here today with us,

59
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:09,631
you and me going through the Stargate.

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,719
The gate is a doorway
that leads you directly to another world.

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,991
l'd go through the Stargate.
l'd like things to be in line

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,272
when you did
step through that wall o' water.

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,710
Can you imagine if it was like a brick wall
on the other side?

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,875
Kind of messy.

65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,189
The most exciting thing about Stargate
is the same thing as with Outer Limits,

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,108
the almost infinite possibilities
of whatever world we could go to.

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,038
None of us really have
any concept of what's out there.

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,390
Shot on location in Vancouver, Canada,

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,069
every episode of Stargate SG-1
is an amazing collaboration

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,513
of the most talented designers and
special effects creators in the industry.

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,074
We have a terrific
visual effects department.

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,557
Any number of filmic tricks
are used to achieve the look.

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,754
All good science fiction is metaphorical.
lt's a way to study ourselves.

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000
When you use situations on a parallel
world that mirror situations on Earth,

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,669
maybe that will make people stop
and think about the wars we fight,

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,712
what they're for,
the way we treat people,

77
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,559
and what is the result
of how we interact with people.

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,635
Come on!

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,996
l have nowhere to go.

80
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,759
For this, you can stay at my place.
Let's go!

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,155
This should be a show that entertains

82
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,034
and that allows people to think beyond
what they normally think about.

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,554
We're gonna tell stories - the most
intriguing, philosophical, poignant stories,

84
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,195
interesting, adventurous stories
that we can possibly do.

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,473
Let me put it nicely.
Get me the hell outta here!

86
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,074
- lt's a winner!
- Join Richard Dean Anderson

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,478
as he continues to lead the way
on the greatest journey of all time.

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,035
You are about to embark
on a top-secret military mission.

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,230
Through a doorway of adventure.

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,716
Over the threshold of time.

91
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,708
To the point of no return.

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,033
Richard Dean Anderson takes adventure
to a whole new dimension.

93
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,198
You just never know
what will be on the other side

94
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,837
until you get there.

95
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,796
Stargate SG-1.

96
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,957
The gateway to the edge of the universe.
