[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] More spoilers.. . . . . . . . . Yep. The show happens in a different galaxy than our own, and has its own Stargate system that seems to be rather different than our own. Aside from a different look, the gates seem to be large enough to allow small ships through: our heroes will occasionally use Trek shuttle-sized alien ships called "puddle-jumpers" to gate around (big enough for a cockpit of two plus six passengers), while the bad guys have "Wraith Darts" which can go through gates as well. At least one of the new gates is orbital, suggesting that they're getting away from the "big stone ring" motif of SG-1. The team is based on Atlantis itself, a high-tech city of the Ancients that SG-1 has been looking for for a while now. It seems to start off on Earth, but at some point the whole thing gets transported to the other galaxy entirely. It subsequently becomes the base of operations for the new team. Other SG-1 cast members are said to be able to guest star later on, so I don't think they'll be stranded there a la Voyager. But getting to another galaxy via the Stargate is known to be somewhat more complicated, so going home is not likely to be a common occurence.

They did say that the new team, and the mission overall, will be international in nature, and it seems to be panning out. Interesting! Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
