lettersfromtitan:dorkilybeautiful:hellotailor:In the end, the good guys in Stargate win because a slave girl taught herself to read, a nerd was so nerdy he risked his life to go translate some hieroglyphs on an alien planet, and a suicidal Air Force jock decided to disobey orders and not let off a bomb. Daniel Jackson, a stereotypical academic with allergies and the good ol’ Crackpot Movie Science Theory ™, is actually the main character, with Jack taking a slightly secondary role. The people of the alien planet get to have their own revolution, with minimal bloodshed and without a bunch of US military dudes leading the charge. And the only reason why any of this happened is because the 80-year-old daughter of a 1920s Egyptologist became so obsessed with an old Egyptian artefact that she spent her whole life researching it until people finally got to travel to other planets. Which to me is a far more compelling origin story than any amount of daddy issues, dead wives, or misunderstood loner antiheroes. — STARGATE. Watch it. Love it. Learn educational info about real “Egyptian” “archaeology”. Stargate was my favorite movie in high school. (Also, I remain divided on the matter of whether I would like to shag Daniel Jackson or be him.)THIS. Not invested in the series, which is background noise for me at best, but that movie was a thing. -- source link
