in trek it took the 3rd ww and a scientist(cochrane) to develop it. in like sg1 which is more realistic to us, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to concieve on our own.

in like sg1 which is more realistic to use, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to conceive on our own.

Excuse me, we stole, I mean salvaged, most of that tech by ourselves, and we used it to kick goa'uld ass all over the galaxy (and, to be fair, they had stolen it first).

Sure, some aliens did give us some tech, but only because we saved their scrawny hyper-advanced asses from their own hubris because, unlike them, we could conceive of hitting things with a big stick, or shooting small but fast metal pellets at them using barely controlled explosions (you know what, disregard the metal pellet and controlled explosions part, just throw C4 at the problem until it goes away!).

Damn, I miss that series.

SG1 was amazing. I really wanted to like SGU but the drastic change in story telling and direction made it difficult for me.
