im just kinda sad they gave Sargate the whole drama feel of Galactica with the space ship thing. i liked some of the classic tones of the other series. Atlantis, i think kept some of it while being different on its own.
I love the Stargate shows so I’ll still give it a try.

I believe you mean Brad Wright, not Bob.

There is a device on the show which will allow people on the ship to switch consciousness with people on earth. Begging the obvious question, isn’t that what the Stargate is for?

As Tim explained above, no. The Stargate is just a doorway. Very simple. You step in on one planet, come out another. (And when it wants to, occasionally sends people back to 1969. But I digress.)

So, Stargate Virgin / TV Addict. You gonna watch?

(Spoiler Alert, sort of — response to Spoiler Alert item from above…)

The device that they mentioned is totally different from the Stargate. The Stargate physically transports a person or object, in whole, to another location many, many lightyears away — even across galaxies under certain conditions (enough power, the right coordinates, etc.).

The device that they mentioned (wow, it’d be convenient if it had an actual name) is a communication device from the Ori galaxy. It’s a portable dome-shaped device with 12 removable blue stones.

I don’t remember all the details, but one function of the device is to allow people across extraordinary distances to exchange places, but in *mind only*; their respective bodies stay put. Kind of like Sam leaping into people’s bodies in Quantum Leap (although, technically, Sam didn’t leap into their bodies; it was his body, but he had the ora of the leapee; never mind, that one’s confusing even for me…). I can’t remember if each person exchanging places had to be in possession of a blue stone or just be the last one to touch it before it’s placed in the dome base.

Another function of the device is to allow two people who each posses one of the blue stones to occasionally see through each others’ eyes (but without having to switch bodies). I can’t remember how you get it to do one function instead of the other.

The new show will most likely have this or a similar device that will allow them to maintain communication with Earth and occasionally allow for guest appearances from SG-1 & Atlantis characters. It will probably also be used for character development as we could potentiallly see characters aboard the Destiny interact with loved ones back home.

Both the stargates and the dome/stone devices are technologies of the Ancients (a.k.a. Alterans, a.k.a. Lanteans).
