Three Different STARGATES | Milky Way » Pegasus » Destiny

THE STARGATE is one of the greatest conceits in modern science fiction: a piece of ancient technology that, when unlocked, can instantly transport you to another world. The television franchise has explore this idea in many different ways ... and with many different types of Stargates.
In this video we're running down the three different models of Stargate - the red-chevron Milky Way gates, the blue-chevron Pegasus Galaxy gates, and the white-chevron gates of Destiny and the seed ships that are on course ahead of it. PLUS: Eagle-eyed fans will know that there are three other models of Stargates that have appeared on screen so far.
Which gate is your favorite?
STAY TUNED for future videos about the Stargate, in which we explore wormhole physics, the functionality of the Stargate network, and what happens when the Stargate malfunctions.

While I do like the SGU stargate. I think the OG Stargate from SG-1 is the best. But I also really like Orleans Macgyvered Gate. Yes the Atlantis and super gate are cool. And worthy of inclusion within the Stargate universe. But the original Stargate holds the number one spot in my heart. But you know what we never really get to see. When they started making the gate open without the unstable vortex. It just opened in a clockwise direction. When they arrive too far in the future from the past. And there was another version of that I can't quite recall. That we see in later seasons. Does anybody remember.? Great video. Excellent analysis.! 👍👍

"RED chevrons"??? Try orange.

Worked on original Stargate and on Atlantis. The level of detail in the Stargate prop was astounding. You could put your nose up to the surface and see texture. A lot of love was put into one thing, that they knew was going to be important. Clean wiring for the embedded lights. Some were rigged to do mechanical action. Superb craftmanship all around.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Thanks for commenting, enilenis! I was fortunate to visit the set a number of times and see the gate up close. Really phenomenal prop and setup ... one for the science fiction history books. Thank you for your work on the shows!

I always loved the prop department's work in SG1 and Atlantis, the CGI was always decent for the time but it really shone with the practical effects and attention to detail.

[@TheRealLazloFalconi]

I always thought it was astounding that the whole franchise is built around one of the most incredibly cool props ever devised, and we hardly ever get any glamour shots of it. I guess it would have been boring to get a dialing sequence like the feature film every week, but I wish there had been more closeups on the prop itself.

[@Dusxio]

The Pegagus gates have the favourite look to me. But I admit the manual dialing backup feature of the Milky Way gates is pretty useful. It's one of those 'never need it till you need it, but when you need it, OOOOOO BOY do you need it.'

[@wintermiller4845]

I love the manual dialing feature b/c it makes it obvious that these things were built to *last*. Contingencies upon contingencies. And, ofc, they were built for aliens who know nothing about the ancients to figure them out and use the network, well into the future.

[@xaivierallen4020]

For the pegasus gates they never had a wear issue or accidental damage so I think they had been heavily stress tested by the ancients before seeding, after which the security concerns were more pressing after the plague

[@Dusxio]

@@xaivierallen4020 Pegasus gates are the most modern stargates afterall. The last design update before they all too the ascension path. But it is an interesting question if the removal of manual dialing was a deliberate feature for security purposes, or just a side benefit. Pegasus gates do seem more security oriented than the Milky Way ones.

[@xaivierallen4020]

@@fujipotato2452 not really, programmed obsolescence is a real thing and you don't need to be a boomer to perceive it. Add to that Moore's law and the fact that the Gates are basically government infraestructure and not a corporate product and what oc said makes perfect sense

[@EgorKaskader]

To be fair, some modern tools are also built to last under abuse. Milwaukee comes to mind on that front, althrough some parts - batteries most of all - are consumables. Likewise lab tools tend to be built for durability (unless got from AliExpress).

[@jagarcogheart]

beacus of the space gates manual operation would not be possible. and if mechanical problems were to arise the lantians would have to send a ship whit large hangar to fix it. out of practical nessesity they would have used a design whit the least moving parts. using mechanical gates planetside as a complementary would be a no since that would be not one but two massprodution lines and logistical systems for gate service.

[@anonimo6603]

​@@rikospostmodernlife Rather than talking about programmed obsolescence, manufacturers simply think of a guaranteed minimum product life span, and there is no interest in creating products designed to last. And since increasing the life of the product more is expensive, you end up with, willingly or unwillingly, a predetermined lifespan.

You can see the technological evolution in the gates: 1. Universe gates: the full dialing logic necessary to compute a wormhole trajectory is (probably) in the pedestal. The crystals in the gate itself store partial dialing data, the dialing remote only tells the gate which segments to read but the gate itself still has to rotate those segments into the pedestal. (The Destiny gate is the exception where the mechanism reading this data is most likely in the orb on top.) 2. Milky Way gates: more robust and powerful, they can handle a much bigger power load, but initially they probably worked the same way: crystals in the inner ring stored the partial dialing data, a dialing remote told the gate which ones to read, the mechanism to read the data was in the top chevron, the wormhole trajectory computation circuits were in the outer ring. 3. DHDs: some time after the Milky Way gates were deployed, the Ancients invented a more compact way of storing data and smaller computers for calculating the wormhole trajectories. They built the DHDs that duplicated the dialing circuits in the gates, pushed a software update to the gates that allowed them to accept wormhole trajectory data from an outside source, and supplied the MW gates with DHDs. Of course they didn't bother replacing the gates themselves, because they worked perfectly fine with the DHDs, and if it ain't broke... 4. Pegasus gates: by the time the Ancients have gotten around to replacing the temporary gates (probably Universe-style) in the Pegasus galaxy with permanent ones, the DHD was a mature technology in use for millions of years. Which is why they used a newer (and probably somewhat cheaper) version that had no circuits for the trajectory calculation and could only work with an external dialing computer (either in the DHDs, the Atlantis main computer, or the PJs).

[@LuisPerez-5]

Sure but aren't the ones on Pegasus and Destiny older than the ones in the Milky Way

[@crystan230]

@@LuisPerez-5 As mentioned in the Video, the age of the SGs are like this: (Old) Destiny -> Milkyway -> Pegasus (New). Atlantis was just abandoned roughly 10.000 years ago, which is also the reason why the "legend" of Atlantis is still around in our age. Also don't forget that all of the ancient didn't ascent at the same time, it was a long process over million of years.

[@chloekaftan]

@@LuisPerez-5 the one in pegasus is newer than in the milkyway, and the destiny gates are very ancient. the destiny gates were likely employed as an interim until more advanced high powered gates could be deployed, such was the case with the pegasus galaxy. whereas in the destiny galaxy (wherever that is) it still had these interim gates employed since the ancients never got around to developing the network there before they ascended. it should be noted that not only the milky way uses the very robust and system redundant alteran gates, but also the ida galaxy employed these gates. and while the newer more advanced atlantean gates were superior in every way to the original alteran gates, they would never again have the same level of robust redundancy that the alteran gates possessed. what makes the alterran gate more robust than the atlantean gate? mainly in that an alteran gate housed computation circuits within the stargate itself instead of just the DHD, being able to store vast quantities of energy within the stargate itself instead of solely relying on the DHD, and being able to dial manually without the need for a DHD, since the original alteran gates didn't employ these DHD's before, having them added without updating the alteran gates unintentionally added redundancies to a system that proved to stand the test of time. whereas the atlantean counterparts while technologically superior, were actually functionally inferior. since no atlantean stargates could dial back to the milkyway or any other galaxy for that matter (except for the atlantis stargate), could easily be tampered with by wraith darts by simulating the puddle jumpers DHD, had inferior power storage preventing the 9th chevron activation (except possibly for the atlantis stargate), and most importantly could not be dialed manually. the loss of an atlantean DHD essentially locked out the stargate of a planet from anything that didn't employ a portable/puddle jumper DHD, and space gates were essentially restricted to atlantean use. and lastly the interim stargates employed by the destiny, these are basically older than even alteran stargates and technologically inferior as well. they have extremely limited range compared to any other type of stargate, could barely hold a charge in comparison to the prior two, and were likely never designed to be employed for as long as it had been in the destiny galaxy (wherever that is).

[@chloekaftan]

@@crystan230 many ancients lived on earth after abandoning atlantis, they didn't all ascend simultaneously, and some preferred to stay with the human race as observers as any parent would for their beloved children.

When I first saw it, I immediately loved Atlantis' gate. Looked so sleek and modern and, as the narrator said, "digital". I also never thought about describing Destiny's gates as "steampunk", an interesting way to put it.

[@jacoblaughbon3323]

Only one that doesn't have a spinning ring. :)

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

are you kidding? the writers themselves designed the SGU gates to be steampunk on purpose, they admitted it. the entire show was meant to be steam punk looking from the beginning. as these gates were the first ever built stargates that came into existence. it makes sense that they would eventually go digital into the future and also make them more capable to handle the job at hand. however it's my assumption that there are more seed ships out there seeding planets than just the ones in SGU, it makes sense to automate that process, so i doubt there will be a new stargate designs as the other seed ships are doing both the milky way and the Pegasus gates. however, there is a possibility that another race is able to create gates of their own design based off of any of the designed Alteran gates. but i doubt that the Alteran built any other design gates out there. but as i said before, it's more likely they have other seed ships that are still seeding that are the newer design stargates out there. the Asgard planet is outside our solar system, they aren't within the milky way, but they do have milky way gates, which suggests my theory is correct that there are more seed ships for these other gates.

[@mikeschmidt4800]

They started the steam punk craze.

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

@@mikeschmidt4800 i happen to like these designs for their older tech, i also liked that the show revisited other established ideas from there slightly newer tech of the Alteran designs. the chair on Destiny is a much older design of the Ancient repository of knowledge, that not only allows the user to learn within an virtual environment but it also allows the user to download information like the later versions. it's just to bad in the show this download was interrupted prematurely by Col. Young when he forced rush to get that guy out of the chair during this download or upload. if you think of this same process when it comes down to pulling an USB flash drive while a file is being processed but pulled prematurely, it could damage the USB and corrupted the file making it useless, just like it did for the guy making him useless. and it was also a reason why the chair had all the clamps for who was sitting in the chair so they wouldn't move during these transfers of data as it was set in place as an protocols to protect the user from this very situation. the later versions of this device work much faster when transfers take place, if you recall the first one we discovered that O'Neill put his face close to, had a retractable head holder to keep the users head in place so the transfer of information was seamless without issue. and then later on using merlin's modified version didn't have this, merlin's was a bit different as it had multiple functions and wasn't just an uploading station for information. but yeah, i liked that they revisited older versions of their tech, and they probably had more to show, but because we never really got to see what else there was within the Destiny, we will never know what other wonders are inside the ship, just like with Atlantis and it's secrets.

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

the funny thing though, the Destiny's tech looks even older than the very ship they used to escape from the Ori galaxy, and maybe you know this or maybe you don't but i found what the Alteran ship ship was mirrored after when it came to it's design, if you look closely in the scene from the ark of truth movie, as their ship takes off from that mountain, you will notice that the ship is almost identical to the lid of the Ark itself when it comes to it's design. it's a little hard to tell because the visual effects team never really did any high res close ups on this ships design, which is why you need to take a closer look at it to see that it almost mirrors the design of the lid of the Ark Of Truth. this was one picture that i created to show the comparison of the two objects side by side. and it's almost uncanny in their design. static.wikia.nocookie.net/5bd657ad-df65-442b-95c3-d41c2562a398/scale-to-width/755

I know it's not related, but No Man's Sky's Portals are basically Stargates.

There are 16 'chevrons' of various symbols instead of 7, and they can dial any gate in their own galaxy. Gamers of that game trade "addresses" to their particular planets. There's even conversion programs to turn the addresses like the shorthand addresses use by the Show into a number sequence. Still one of my favorite video game experiences to date going through one of those gates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2ScaKxnfN54j5o

Although I would be frustrated & disappointed if they abandoned the Brad Wright universe; fortunately that seems like the least likely option! As much as I want the continuation of SGU... I have finally accepted that it will not, and can not ever happen at this point. 😵 Although I do hope & expect that we will get some kind of closure regarding the team on Destiny. I think that the most likely setting of a new series will be the SGC or the moon base, or possibly the alpha site. I expect it will be something like "the next generation" with recurring appearances of familiar faces from time to time. As much as I loved the character of Daniel Jackson and how appropriate it would be to have him in an integral role, in don't think Michael Shanks deserves such an opportunity and I don't think they would be able to offer him an "interesting" enough part or the money he would expect & demand. The actor I would most like to see involved is Amanda Tapping. Samantha Carter is also my favorite character and the one with the most potential for an interesting & regular role in a new series. I would actually like to see the stargate revealed on Earth. That would open up so many potential stories. And although I don't consider it to be a real possibility, I'd like for them to abandon them having a primary villain that poses a constant, existential threat. I'm sure the Lucien alliance will cause trouble from time to time, and they're will always be Goa'ulds trying to rebuild an empire, and some Wraith hive will occasionally try to get to the milky way and Earth, and we know that there are still replicators out there somewhere, plus a host of other villains we've encountered, plus new threats to keep things interesting. But I would love to see then focus more on researching undiscovered technologies, worlds, species and the mysteries of life & the universe!

What I'd really like to see is a mini-series that's also a crossover event, in which the greatest minds work together to give a plan to the bravest bodies to execute. Give me cameos from as many SG-1 folks we can get, unless they'd be available for a significant role high up the command chain or being temporarily retired then called up to action. From Atlantis, get me Shepard, Rodney, Woolsey and an asuran clone of Weir that is not weird. From Universe, give me Eli and Wray, and have something so bad happen to Rush and Young that humbles them and they start behaving like actual human beings instead of egomaniacs. Remove all the unnecessary drama that made SG-U "Grey's Anatomy on a spaceship" and if you want dark and gritty, keep it one bar less than Galactica levels. Introduce some cool new characters that will be the cast of the new series. Use the mini-series to finally take advantage of having the knowledge of the Lanteans and the Asgard available, as well as the supergates and salvaged Ori tech to actually do some impressive next level shit to take care of the loose ends, like work your way up to get to where Destiny is, and blow the shit out of those berserker drones with surgical precision and get everyone back home safely. The use of technology at such efficient level and positive shit getting done in different galaxies putting the Tau'ri in a place that finally buys a seat at the grown-ups table with the first season of the new series revolving around these actions flushing the Furlings and the Nox and guiding the Tau'ri, so they can become the responsible presence and the older races finally ascend. The next seasons deal with putting the Lucian Alliance and the Wraith in their places with authority, while discovering new challenges in the galaxies traveled by the Destiny and the Seed ships.

That shot of Vala's cargo ship in between the gate segments is pretty definitive, I think. It's parked toward the front (the narrower part of the segments), and there is even room behind her for the final energy binder to reach across.

[@Platschu]

I would consider the beachhead gate and the supergate two different version of the supergate. If we count the gates as shirt size, then Orlin's gate is S, normal gate is M, Beachhead gate is L or XL and Supergate is XXL. I would also like to see the hub of the network which could work as a server room. If MW and P gates have wifi then the U gates must work like bluetooth which see only the closest gates. So what if a new spinoff would be placed in a base where our new team goes to investigate and to fix faulty stargates etc. I wish we could see an Ori stargate anyway which could extend itself into 9 pieces so the inner diameter could be much larger than normal gate, but smaller than the beachead gate... So This gate type would be the L size which could let al'kesh or tel'tac size ships to pass. It would be cool to discover how to dial secondary gates on the same planet with the usage of the 9th chevron without the 8th chevron. So the normal 7 chevron + the 9th chevron would lock a location within the range of the planet like a mini, local network. I also would like to see "chamelon gates" which mimicris the local network where are they placed in any galaxy. Later we would find out what is the agenda of that race who waw capable of such secret operations. And then the hub would also be needed to identify this new ultra-long range stargates.

[@Mattihacker]

Always thought the other Milky-Way Stargates are not rotating their inner Ring because they dont need to with their dhd, but without it on earth it has to. Well...

[@Mr.Agateophile.]

I like that explanation. It also fits with the other ways that the Asgard, Nox and others use to dial, all chevrons light up at once, no kawoosh etc. The more sophisticated the dialing method the more efficient the gate operates.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

That totally works for me. The DHD would basically enable a "shortcut" mode for power users. The inner track doesn't have to spin to align a specific symbol with each chevron, because the symbol has already been input on the DHD. That would also help to explain why incoming and outgoing wormholes sometimes connect VERY fast (when the story calls for it to be sudden), and sometimes takes a bit even off-world (when the script calls for other beats to be happening during the dialing procedure).

[@psoma_brufd]

@@GateWorldDotNet yeah, it really does make sense considering the entire design of the Earth DHD is based on rotating the inner ring and we can explain away when they use an actual DHD if it does spin as them ad-hocking it.

[@UGNAvalon]

Plot Twist: The Ancients designed their Stargates with a sense of dramatic flair, in which their onboard AI would calculate whether or not to dial faster or slower for the sake of “dramatic tension”. xD

[@KozKalanndok]

The thing is the Earthlings have not figured out the communication protocol between DHD and gate properly. That's why they created their own protocol based on the manual dialing mechanism without further investing resources into getting the DHD-protocol implemented. Now with the Asgard and Lantean knowledge that might be revisited.

[@SnowmanTF2]

​@@Smurfen249 They had access to the manufacturing process on the seed ship to Destiny era gates when had the most knowledge of how gate and Ancient physics work, were way more reliable to base something off than Orlin's, already had capacity to dial multiple gates in their design, and used way less exotic material than MW or Pegasus era gates. So seems logical early human designed gates would be closer to Destiny style, with probably the biggest improvement to have a Naquadah generator standard to extend range similar to the other gates. Edit: though there probably is little actual need for humans to design their own gates in MW or Pegisus, since Asguard teleporters were shown capable to move MW style gates, so likely could replicate them as well. Which brings up if there even needs to be differences in design between galaxies, the Asguard having moved galaxies probably should have the details in the computer core they gave us, so could make the changes upon request.

I always wanted to see a remake of that scene when O'Neill arrived to Othala. The Asgard gate could have purple chevrons with runes as glyphs. I had a few ideas how I would introduce that new network with some original new lore details. Like the Asgard turned the local wormholes into deadly disintigration waves against the Replicators so they were beaming through the event horizon (like Merlin did it season 10's Quest). They could also write runes in the air for dialing. Or there could be holographic extension like a map list between the horns of the DHD etc. The heroes would use a new type of ship which can build itself around the stargate as it would literally use the network as a stargate drive while our new enemies would also use the beaming technogy to spawn massive armadas around spacegates. Then the new adventure would be about finding a secret Vault in the Ida galaxy what the Vanir and other scavangers want to get before Earth to activate the personal war drones / mechanic pets (which where planned in Stargate : Worlds). We would find out what happened with the other races during the Replicator war, what Earth can do with the acquired Asgard core, how to act like a new protector of smaller civilizations. And who knows? Maybe the Asgard is still alive... I believe it would be cool.

So they all created worlds to spread human life in as many environment as possible as some of them believed the future humans ended up in the past to become the Ancients. But this mass plot would be a ripoff from Babylon 5. Or they could talk about organic life vs. enginereeed organic life vs. synthetics just to make a spin on thenMass Effect concept in Stargate. What if the Goa'uld created animal-human hybrid races, but they wanted to destroy these forbidden experiments and then the Nox or the Oannes transported or shielded these worlds in the Milky Way or they brought them to an other galaxy. So many new scenarios can be introduced. I always wanted to see a galaxy where the Oannes rescued / collected animals and plants from different geological eras of Earth as a memento to the Ancients' homeworld in the Milky Way. So it would be like a little Jurassic Park type of feeling with ice age mammals and plants. Don't forget that Ancients are 50+ millions old so they must have seen lots of climate and evolutionary change.

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

@@WilliamJulienNkogheOlympio i also love the concept of the gate inside destiny. however the one inside the destiny is a bit different from the ones found on each planet nearby. one thing is the gate has the capability that every other 2nd gen gate does when it can dial out further distances of space, meaning it's not limited like all the rest of the SGU gates. that can only dial to ones that are within distance. however it doesn't have any shield that can block anything that might come through, but then again, it could have a feature like this that we never discovered. but your right, it does follow some protocols that cause the gate to dial when the crew needs to pick up supplies and starts the time limit to come back with the supplies, however i think this has more to do with how the ship manages time and i also think it has to do with the FTL drive when it takes breaks, everything is timed to work within sequence with the ships systems.

I’ve always had an issue with the gates that were partially buried/built into the deck, or ground. There have been a number of episodes, and movies, that show the destructive nature of the “big swoosh” that comes out. At one point, it burns a hole in the side of a ship, and has cut people in half before. How can there be any buried section, once the swoosh pops out?

[@allenvasher5358]

Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only one that questioned this

[@JithinJacob333]

I don't remember all of those kind of gates, but the swoosh that comes out in a conical form and not cylindrical. So, if there's enough space outside the conical swoosh, it should be safe. But if there are gates where things in the conical swoosh survives, yes it's a mistake. Maybe they thought it might have been too minor or expensive to fix it.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Good observation, and technically the S.G.C. gate would be no different, since the inner area of the gate is set down a bit into the steel ramp. If the kawoosh occupied the entirety of the inner area of the Stargate it would destroy the ramp every time it activates. If you look closely at the kawoosh, though, you'll see that it only extends outward from the very center of the gate. So there is a little bit of clearance all the way around.

[@Conor_Ryan]

Yeah, it would make more sense if there was a gap in the deck the approx depth of the event horizon. This usually wasn't present but as mentioned by @Jithin Jacob the swoosh normally exited the gate in a conical fashion close to the centre of the gate. In some episodes the gate vortex was used for sacrifice/execution/suicide. I specifically remember the episode where SG-1 first encountered destroyer of worlds that the guy who essentially died by suicide has his smouldering feet left in place after the gate shut down. Ouch

[@Rejoice1631]

If you look at the Ark movie, when they get to the tanker/ship, and there’s a HUGE hole in the side, it’s almost perfectly straight out from the gate, and appears to be very close to the same diameter. Now, having said all these things, I’m STILL a HUGE fan of the series, and the movies. I’ll suspend my disbelief long enough to bing watch all 10 seasons, AND the original movie, AND the other Stargate movies as well. Sadly though, I kind of didn’t like Atlantis, or SGU very much.

It should be mentioned that the different Ancient designs of the gates are incompatible with one another. When building the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Bridge out of some spare gates they found on uninhabited planets (or around them), they had to create the Midway Station halfway between Milky Way and Pegasus in order to exit one set of gates and enter another since the wormhole wouldn’t jump between the two designs. Plus the address systems were different

[@AndrewTaylorNintyuk]

I always believed it was a range issue, that bridge was on the outer limit of what a 7 symbol address could reach for both galaxies.

The midstation is about incompatibility of coordinates.

[@EchoTangoSuitcase]

Considered "in verse", there's a very simple explanation. First, consider that gates don't have to spin. Aside from the Pegasus gates, we also have the small gate that Orlin built. True, you could say that it was a purpose built gate for a single destination, but still... it didn't spin. More importantly, we have more than one incident of the SGC gate connecting without spinning. In fact, we have Lya (of the Nox) creating a wormhole without even a kawhoosh. It seems to me that we might just be looking at an aesthetic choice, where the "spinning", whether actual (SGC) or virtual (Atlantis) is not meaningfully different than the progress bar or "rolling donut" we see all the time on our computers. The Milky Way gates could be seen as a dial telephone and the Pegasus gates as touch-tone. And the Destiny gates...? No good reason for embellishments and a desire for fewer moving parts. (For reliability)

[@sethcarson5212]

HAHAHA, you had me at "Kawooshes". That's the perfect way to describe it.

[@esrevinu.]

Excellent work. Loved this video. Also, extra points and a sub, for the MacGyver reference hahaha!

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Thanks for watching, Esre! We have a minimum of three MacGyver references per month. ;)

[@melissac8063]

The Destiny Stargate felt somehow old and advanced at the same time... if there is a reboot I hope they use the SG1 gates again

[@Josiah100x]

my favorite gate is the stargate movie gate the extra moving parts and the fact the each symbol is locked at their respective cheveron rather than just the 7th one every time. a new gate i would like to see would be a digital/analog mix of the movie gate and the atlantis gate. with a prismatic(not to be confused with chromatic) grayscale base theme.

[@DJJonPattrsn22]

That change in how the gate dialed from the movie to SG-1 was totally unnecessary. I don't understand why they did that, it doesn't make any sense. The inner ring should rotate the glyph being encoded to the respective chevron where it is locked.

[@Josiah100x]

@@DJJonPattrsn22 i felt like their desire to add lights(or at least visible lights?) and keep the prop cheap is what drove them to downgrade it. but if the show somehow gets revived i do not see why they could not just put lights on the movie gate and use that design. here is to hoping.

[@maurolimaok]

Documentário incrível. Parabéns pelo trabalho minucioso.

[@gerardovenegas4610]

Beautiful ideas!

[@Chrome.Seraph]

You didn't mention the spacegates only having 8 chevrons in their CGI model. It could be a different style of gate or a CGI mistake. Any new gates should spin. I always felt Atlantis felt like a cheaper prop because it didn't have any moving parts. I also wish we got a better look at the Tollan gate.

[@Mr.Agateophile.]

Well, with modern CGI and amazon money they could probably design a really intricate new gate with lots of little moving parts, pulsing light etc.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

We've been talking about this over on Twitter, as a matter of fact: I think it's an erroneous CG model (for more reasons than just the missing chevron). So far we've identified two times this 8-chevron model was used (First Strike, and Be All My Sins). If you know of more I'd love to add them to my list! But otherwise all the space gates have nine (blue) chevrons, and three power nodes.

[@Chrome.Seraph]

@@GateWorldDotNet I only know about it at all because I happened to read it on SGCommand wiki. I've never counted the chevrons ever. The Replicator space Lazer might've been a different gate, they might've made their own. Probably not.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

It seems plausible that the Asurans built an 8-chevron gate on purpose for the satellite weapon (and presumably no other species in the Pegasus would know how to build a Stargate). I'd grant that as an in-canon possibility, if only the VFX animators didn't reuse this model for what was supposed to be an ordinary space gate in "Be All My Sins." There are also a few instances where the space gate is missing the nodes it would seem to NEED in order to be able to dial out. This 8-chevron gate in 4x11 is one of them. But there's a 9-chevron blue gate in "Trinity" (2x06) that is also missing its power nodes.

[@Platschu]

@@GateWorldDotNet Well, the Midway station had an 8 chevron gate in the 3x10 Return, part 1. Even the glyphs are on both side! Double sided stargate were in the 2x19 Inferno. Also dialed, and activepated spacegates should have only 7 active lighted chevrons and not all 9 like in Rising.

[@danielshannon167]

The Ori area wasn't part of the milky way or pegasus galaxies so that would be one more. And in the feature film we know that earth and abidos had different gates

[@themindfulmoron3790]

That was retconned for the show. In the film universe, each gate has different symbols entirely because the planets are in different galaxies. In the show universe, every milky way Stargate has the same symbols because they're all in the same galaxy.

[@darkfangnightcrow]

Pegasus gates have always been my favourite and I hope one day in the future I can incorporate the gate design into a house.

[@avenger14a]

The Atlantis gates are definitely my favorite. I love the blue color scheme, and the lights spinning around are a great nod to the milky way gates. XD

[@mmilller452]

My fav stargate design is the Universe gate but i like the Altantis gate. The Supergate is something im a bit obsessed with. I think that the best way to finish Destinys mission would be Supergate

[@allenvasher5358]

Just super gate Destiny back to our galaxy? Well I all ways hoped the the ancients had a plan to get back after they get to the source of the signal maybe that is it

[@ladrok97]

@@allenvasher5358 They are too proud of themself, to send people into "one way, die mission", so they for sure created a way to go back

[@BadIdea1123]

isnt there two supergate models though, the first one in beach head is smaller than the other one they find later where the three big ships come through

[@Mr.Agateophile.]

I think the first one is classified more as a prototype rather than a separate model.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

I think that may be the case, but with perspective and angles and such I'm not sure the show gives us enough evidence to say so decisively. In "The Pegasus Project" the Supergate segments look MUCH bigger, dwarfing a standard Stargate and an Al'kesh (which is much bigger than a cargo ship). But we saw the Ori warships coming through that same gate in "Camelot." If the Ori warships are really that big, they never would have fit through the "Beachhead" Supergate. So what were the Ori planning to send through what would have been a "medium-sized" gate? In Vala's flashbacks in "Crusade" we only saw them building the full warships.

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

@@GateWorldDotNet Easy, the Beachhead gate would have sent Pegasis Project supergate segments, both powered by the singularity.

[@ShadowVVoIf]

@@GateWorldDotNet I thought the finished supergate was constructed on site (near planet) rather than shipped through the gate.

[@ezekiellucas7241]

Mad views for a new stargate vedio! Love it

[@RationalEgoism]

I'm such a Stargate nerd that I was able to name all 6 types of gate. The Supergate was pretty easy to remember because it was in multiple episodes, including "The Pegasus Project" where they connected it to a black hole.

[@allenvasher5358]

The gate should only change if the existing plot allows

[@nolan412]

SGC built gates with bluetooth.

[@keithellison716]

I think itd be cool if they did a series set in the future where humans have mastered and learned to recreate all forms of ancient technology, in this way they could make smaller portable gates that comes out much like the Jaffa helmits

[@Mr.Agateophile.]

That would be cool to see in a time travel episode. I think it might be too big of a jump for a main series to be set at that level though.

[@keithellison716]

@@Mr.Agateophile. That is a good point, it probably would be too big of a departure from what we're used to. But a one off episode or movie however probably would be better,

[@LaNeona]

I accidentally started designing a stargate blanket, so this was very important to make sure I can astrally dial into anywhere. Appreciated.

[@JamieHitt]

I always had questions regarding the abilities of an ascended being. Like,… Why do they have to use stargates? Can’t they just kind of pop in and out of any place without the use of technology? How many times have we seen an ascended being go through a Stargate? A couple of times right? Or am I just remembering that wrong?

[@GateWorldDotNet]

The Stargate networks predate the Ancients' ascension (evidently by millions of years). But yeah, we do see ascended beings use Stargates on several occasions. It seems as though ascension does not make a person omnipresent; rather they occupy a relatively local area of space.

[@ladrok97]

Maybe is combination of lazynes and flexing? Like "ofc we know how to use them, we CREATED them" flex and it's probably is faster way anyway

[@ShadowVVoIf]

@@GateWorldDotNet This is evident with the plan to kill the Ori with Merlin's weapon as they had to send it to the Alteran Home Galaxy to make it work. Atlantis kind of puts forward that their body is just an energy field now with the episodes S1E2 or E3, if you separate the two part beginning, Hide and Seek and S5E5 Ghost in the Machine.

[@qdllc]

They exist as energy, but they have physical presence. They may travel very fast as such, but not FTL speeds…or at least not enough to span a large enough distance.

[@JamieHitt]

@@qdllc Okay. So Morgan went through the Stargate to get from the Pegasus galaxy to the Ori galaxy in order to fight Adria? Or is it more likely that they can simply pop in and out wherever they want to? Like when the others pulled Morgan back when she was getting ready to tell Daniel the location. They didn’t pull her through a Stargate. They just yanked her back to the other plane. I think they can pop in and out wherever they want to from plane to plane. Doesn’t that make more sense? I’ve always struggled with the belief that ascended beings were limited to or somehow held to any given galaxy. Those ties to the physical should have been cut once ascended. Why would they be hovering over a given space inside of an entirely different plane of existence?
