Now on Amazon: That’s what the sci-fi series Stargate SG-1 is about
That’s what Stargate SG-1 is all about: The military sci-fi series follows the experiences of an elite unit of the US Air Force that explores strange worlds in space and protects the earth from extraterrestrial threats. And this is done with the help of star gates called Stargates, which were built by an ancient species and connect numerous planets in the galaxy (via a huge dial).
The SG-1 team under Colonel Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) – and later Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) – experiences numerous adventures over the course of 10 seasons and encounters alien species such as the Goa’uld, replicants and ancients and the Ori.
