Hello fellow Stargaters, my name is Matthew R Dunn of the Tau'ri and I am a big Science-fiction fan, with my absolute favourites including Battlestar Galactica (2004), Doctor Who, Torchwood, Lost, Fringe, Sanctuary and especially, Stargate.

I contribute on just about anything in this Wiki, such as; expanding episode guides and other articles, cleaning up after other users, creating the odd 350 articles or so, and added several new images. All in all, I have made 11,131 edits (see my contributions list if you must, but it'll take you a while :) If anyone has any quiries, compliments, complaints, or you need help from me, feel free to leave a message on my talk page (preferable, I want to make sure that it is a less insulting as possible)

[edit] Fondness for Stargate

I got into Stargate because my parents watch it. The first episode I've ever seen whole was Window of Opportunity and I loved it. I really got into Stargate since Season eight. Now Stargate is officially my second favourite franchise in the world, after James Bond. Stargate is more-or less a family activity; as almost everyone loves Stargate. One of the reason I love Stargate is because I am absolutely fascinated with the ancient mythological world, I've once been to Egypt and heard several of their myths that seemed fairly similar to the myths I heard on the show. I'm also seeing Stargate Universe, which I think is the best television I've seen in a while, definately not let down in the least. I also try and update information on all Universe-related articles currently, by viewing GateWorld, Joe's blog as daily as possible to see what's what, and the episodes.

[edit] What is so wrong with Universe?

It is established that some people have problems with the show. Do you want to know what I think is wrong with it? Go on, guess... Nope, not that... Not that either... No, you are way off. Actually, what I don't like about Universe is that those so-called Gaters who have a problem with the show. Here's my opinions and excuses to rebuff some of those criticisms I heard;

  • Copied Battlestar Galactica: I'd like to think of it more as they borrowed some of the elements of Battlestar (an uprepared crew far from home, trying to survive) but, are they being hunted down by Cylons? No. Also, last I checked there are way more reviews saying something like "yeah, it copied some elements of Battlestar, and that's what makes Universe so great."
  • Little character development: Two ends of the scale for how right or wrong this is. On one end of the scale), they're right, but keep in mind there are a heck of a lot of ensemble characters, and they only have an hour a week to fill in as much as possible, also considering the episodes's plots. On the other end, I think in the first three or four episodes, we learned more about some of the characters than we have learning other characters's pasts in an entire season of SG-1 or Atlantis.
  • Chloe Armstrong is annoying?: But, she lost her father. How would you react if a loved one you cared for so much died, like siblings, parents, relatives, spouses, domestic partners, friends? Would you just shrug it off and say "oh well, shit happens," or would you be upset about it?
  • Scott and Chloe relationship: What is wrong with that? Can't an attractive young man go out with an attractive young woman? The fan reaction acted as if they just met and then slept together, but you can see that ever since Alan Armstrong's death, they had a thing. Besides, I think this whole Scott/Chloe thing is kind of sweet. And then there's Eli in the picture, but it seems proven that he considers Chloe a best friend rather than the girl he has the hots for (OK, maybe a little of the latter too).
  • Not as funny as the other two shows: Is it supposed to be? Think about it, you are trapped in an ancient, dying spaceship, with no way to return home and you'd wonder if you'd wake up the next morning dead or alive. You won't exactly get a laugh a minute.
  • Not enough action: Apart from "Time", no there isn't. Does it matter? It is a drama too you know.
  • Female characters are underused: There are still more episodes to come. Besides, we already know TJ resinged, Chloe lost her dad, Wray's a lesbian, and Vanessa James doesn't like Eli much, and that she shagged Matthew Scott (shag means sex if you're not familiar with British slang). Speak of the devil...
  • The sex scene: OK, not much argument from me; I agree it's a bit off. After all that time since "Children of the Gods", they finaly got rid of that nude scene in the Final Cut, and then replace with something I believe is a little more controversial. However, having the odd one now and then doesn't hurt (if you are a fan of Battlestar or CSI as I am, you'd realise there is the odd scene) Plus regarding the fan reaction of the scene, the people act like young kids, more or less saying "ewww! What are they doing?" Now don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-sex on television (unlike many guys I don't like porn), but as I said earlier, one now and then wouldn't hurt. Still, so far this only happened twice, and the second one was pretty funny.
  • Icarus Base planet blew up, that's impossible: Not if the planet has a naquadria core, which it has. And it is connected with the Stargate. And it overloaded.

To conclude, if people hate Universe so much, then why are they complaining and still watching it? Wouldn't it be easier to, like, you know, stop watching the show?

FRAN, the most attractive woman in the Universe... literally...

Come here boys, you know you want some.
End of the Replicators. Whatever happened to Fran anyway?
There she is.
Nope, she's gone again.

[edit] Favourite quotes

[edit] Stargate SG-1

Hammond: You ever think of writing a book on your exploits in the line of duty?
O'Neill: I've thought about it. But then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it.


Teal'c: Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson, they will calm up.


O'Neill: What kind of archeaologist carries a weapon?
Jackson: Uh, I do.


Hammond: Colonel O'Neill, what the hell are you doing?
O'Neill: In the middle of my backswing!


O'Neill: I'm telling you, Teal'c. If we don't find a way out of this soon I'm going to lose it. Lose it…it means go crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo, no longer in possession of one's faculties, three fries short of a happy meal…WACKO!!!


O'Neill: If I ask "what", and you say "it's classified", I'm gonna shoot ya.


O'Neill: Come on Teal'c. A part of you has to know the truth.
Teal'c: The truth is you are a prisoner of Apophis. When the symbiote that I carry matures, you will become its host.
O'Neill: OK, I meant the other truth.


O'Neill finds Maybourne near his car
Maybourne: Hi, Jack.
O'Neill: (runs towards him) You rat bastard!
Maybourne: (takes cover) Hey, hey, easy, Jack!
O'Neill: I'm so gonna kick your ass!
Maybourne: There's people watching.
O'Neill: I don't care!!


Hayes: Oh, please, I have enough on you to have you shot!


Vala: Ow, you hit me.
Daniel: You hit me!
Vala: Yeah, well we could always just have sex instead.


O'Neill: Five bucks says Carter has a theory.


Landry: She accused the Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee of having a, let's just call it an insufficient manhood.


Alternate Mitchell: Now, let me get this straight. We figured that you guys would try to escape, and we set this trap for you. Not realising that you'd figure out that we'd figure you out, and you set your own.
Teal'c: (after a lengthy pause) Indeed.


Mitchell: Who am I kidding? I knew you were an asshole the moment we met!

[edit] Stargate Atlantis

(McKay returns to Atlantis, high on the enzyme)
McKay: I know what I need to do!
Weir: Rodney, what's happened? Where are the rest of them?
McKay: There's no time, no time. The planet, not Ford's, the one the, uh, ship's headed towards, we need to get there and we don't have much time. I was barely able to escape myself, but I managed to take out the guards. Oh, you should have seen me! I was amazing! I wish we'd got it on camera because... That's not the point.
Weir: Rodney, slow down. Are you alright?
McKay: Yes, yes. I mean, um... I dunno. I mean, I did take out the guards and they were huge and dumb and stupid and...
Weir: What guards?
McKay: Ford's guards! Haven't I mentioned Ford?
Weir: No, you didn't, and you haven't even mentioned Sheppard, Teyla and Ronon either.
McKay: Yes! They were there too, and there were the two guards. They were huge and massive and I had to take 'em out, so I had to inject some of the enzyme.
Weir: You took some of the enzyme?!
McKay: No-no-no-no-no-no-no. I didn't take some of the enzyme. I took a lot of the enzyme, because I had to, because I had to take out the guards, which I did, and you should have seen me, I was amazing!
Weir: Are you insane?!
McKay: Yes, yes, now that I've taken the enzyme, yes.
Weir: Rodney, focus. Where is Colonel Sheppard?
McKay: No, no, no, I had to take the enzyme because, because I had to take out the guards! But that's not the point, the point is we don't have enough time. We need to stop the ship from getting to where the ship is going.
Weir: Come on, come on, let's take a walk to the Infirmary, alright?
McKay: Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, what are you doing? No-no-no-no, I don't wanna go to the Infirmary. I wanna go to the, to the, uh... the, um... (faints)


McKay: Is that really how you want this to go down, huh? You wanna freeze me to death?! You sure you wouldn't rather I imploded with you, you, you, you lemon?!


McKay: Just about everything we wanted to know about Wraith technology, but were afraid to ask.


McKay: Oh it's something like spyware, like my stupidly downloaded por... music, my downloaded music.


Sheppard: (attempting to get a deaf McKay his attention) Canadian football league's a joke. Celine Dion is overrated. Zelenka is smarter that you are.


McKay: Let's just for a second imagine that we live in this magical land of unicorns and wizards and kind-hearted people who you can take at their word. Let's assume that he lets us go if we save her. But what if we fail, huh? What if she dies? How happy d'you think he'll be then? You think he'll let us just waltz out the door with an "Aw shucks. Well, better luck next time, tiger" attitude?


Sheppard: Easy Chewie, those buttons are your friends!


McKay: F**king Woolsey (from a blooper)

Also, this does not count cartoon voices (so I'm afraid Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson from The Simpsons), Ming-Na (Mulan from Mulan) or David Ogden Stiers (Radcliff from Pocahontas) and others don't count)
