This goes back in time to the original finding of the stargate, and stars a character we all know lives and so cannot be in any danger at all ever.
This just comes across like short-episode fan fiction.

An experimental gate technique strands unlikely survivors on an ancient ship.
A fair show. That’s pretty much all I can say about it, really. It has some significant presentation of humans being human, which is rare and special.

When investigating unusual crimes, a United States Federal Bureau of Investigation agent is brought into a United States Department of Homeland Security task force that investigates such things.
It took a while to like it at all, but ultimately it was lacking an aggressively-pursued over-arching story arc. It was so damned episodic and boring. Also, the lead actor’s constant grimace is incredibly disturbing.
I gave this a good long shot, and by the half-way point of season two, I just had to abandon it.

A military unit is sent on missions in a future where all of humanity is at war with alien insects.
The show is animated, and not “anime”. As such, it has not held up well with time. The music is fantastic, though. Truly. However, its other high points do not make up for the visual issue I have.
While it doesn’t do it for me, I would recommend this for fans of the movie or movie series who can also handle the visual style and jerky movement that to me is reminiscent of ReBoot – (1994 show).
- Properly titled Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles
- Ran from 1999-08-30 to 2000-04-03
- Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein
-
Based the movie Starship Troopers – (1997 movie), and is definitely not a sequel to it.

An ancient discovery in Egypt, from before the pyramids, is found to be a gateway to another world which is still kept as a slave planet by Ra, a self-appointed god who is an alien just trying to get by.
A fantastic movie. Not exactly mandatory. Perhaps elements of it don’t feel like they have held up well, or maybe there has been so much excellent science fiction before, during and since its time.

A stargate is shown to connect to another galaxy, but the trip proves to be one-way and fraught with new evils.
Fairly good, I guess. It’s definitely not as good as Stargate SG-1 – (1997-2007 show) but is a mandatory view if you like that show.

Having discovered an interplanetary teleporter, humans bumble around by sending teams through to other worlds.
Pretty good. It’s definitely got the “TV series” feel to it, which explains how many seasons there are.

See Stargate viewing order. This series follows from Stargate – (1994 movie)
- Watching that movie is not mandatory to watch this series.
- This series has different actors.

The stylized “A” in the title (with the middle bar missing and the circle over it) is a reference to that symbol representing the Earth when programming a stargate.

A standard Robot Chicken, but with various skits parodying the Star Wars franchise.
Have a half hour to waste? Give this a shot, but if you don’t like it within the first few minutes go do something better; Robot Chicken is hit-and-miss.
- Properly titled Robot Chicken: Star Wars

Continues with Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.
Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.
