Star Trek
From SGCommand
(Redirected from Vulcan salute)
Star Trek was a science fiction television series created on Earth in the late 1960s. Though it achieved little success in its original run, it inspired several films and spin-off series years later.
The series has had a huge impact on Earth culture and jargon. For example, humans of the Tau'ri often refer to the act of using Asgard teleportation technology as "beaming." Simon Coombs, a scientist working at Stargate Command, is an obsessed fan of the series. (SG1: "The Other Guys")
Martin Lloyd had plagiarised Star Trek as part of a plot to the proposed TV movie of Wormhole X-Treme!. (SG1: "200")

- Sheppard says "Alright -- let's remember where we parked," after activating a Puddle jumper's cloak. This is similar to a scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where Kirk tells the crew to remember where they parked a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey in Golden Gate Park, in 1985. Later, after a Wraith takes their jumper and Sheppard describes it as "his ship", Rodney McKay asks if Sheppard is Captain Kirk. (ATL: "The Defiant One")

- In one sense Stargate series was created and developed on basis of Star Trek. A lot of ideas adopted. Many earlier episodes of Stargate SG-1 were undeniably similar to episodes from the Star Trek series -- for example, "The Nox" and "Errand of Mercy." However, as the show went on and developed its own niche, this tendency gradually came to minimum. Оne way or another, Star Trek had sizeable influence on creators of Stargate. Without Star Trek the universe of Stargate would never be the same as now.
- The season six episode "Prometheus" mirrors Star Trek Voyager's "Message In A Bottle" in most ways.
- Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett) auditioned for the role of Scotty in the eleventh Star Trek movie. However, the role was later given to Simon Pegg. McGillion still played a minor role in the movie.
