Stargate SG-1:
Step through the stargate with SG-1, a team of soldiers and scientists, as they travel instantaneously to other planets to explore, forge alliances, defuse crises, establish trade, investigate ancient mysteries, and defend Earth from such hostile forces as the Goa'uld and the Replicators.
For eight years, from their base at the U.S. Air Force's Stargate Command in the Rocky Mountains, Gen. Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Lt. Col. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), and alien warrior Teal'c (Christopher Judge) have braved everything that the universe has thrown at them, from interstellar war and evil twins to death and ascension.
But changes come to SG-1 in its ninth year of fearless service to Earth. New faces are joining the team: Maj. Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) will try to fill the very big shoes of former SG-1 leader O'Neill (who is now in charge in Homeworld Security), while Gen. Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) must adapt to the unique challenges of running Stargate Command, a posting unlike any other the military has to offer.
Offworld, SG-1 might have new friends — or new foes — in Vala (Claudia Black), a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter; and Gerak (Louis Gossett Jr.), a Jaffa leader who vies with Teal'c for political control of the new Jaffa nation.
Stargate Atlantis:
When a secret base abandoned by the Ancients — the original builders of the stargates — is found buried in the ice of Antarctica, the Stargate Atlantis team is recruited for the most daring stargate mission yet: a one-way expedition to the distant Pegasus galaxy. There the Stargate Atlantis team encounters a number of primitive human civilizations ... as well as The Wraith, a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere.
The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the go-with-your-gut bravado of her military counterpart, Maj. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), a courageous and gifted pilot. Rounding out the team are Lt. Aiden Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks), the enthusiastic young officer who becomes Sheppard's second-in-command; and Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), a clever and quick-witted astrophysicist with previous experience at Stargate Command. The team is befriended by Pegasus galaxy native Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), a beautiful young leader among the Athosian people, with whom the Atlantis team forges an uneasy alliance against The Wraith.
New faces join the Team in the second season. Most notable among them are Ronan Dex (Jason Momoa), a human native to the Pegasus galaxy who has fought the Wraith for seven years in defense of his planet. And from Earth comes Col. Steven Caldwell (Mitch Pileggi), the commander of Earth's newest intergalactic battle cruiser, the Daedalus.
Astrogate Stargate Forum:
AstroGate is intended to be an enjoyable place to visit for all those interested in Stargate/Sci-Fic and science, no matter their age or social beliefs. This forum is a corner of the internet where fans of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis can join together in discussion of their favourite shows and interests. There are multiple discussion boards where you can chat about SG-1, Atlantis, Other Sci-Fi Shows and Books, Movies, Science, and of course a General forum where everyday topics, interests, and ramblings can be talked about. We aim to be a nice peacefull community where topics are debated and discussed, in an environment where you can relax and talk to like-minded people. Sci-Fi TV shows are not always the most popular, so online fandoms are where people to turn too to chat about their favourite programs. And we hope we're one of the best and most enjoyable Stargate Forums to visit.

If you're new, please use this thread to indroduce yourself and say hi.
Links + Advertisements
If you're posting an ad for your site, please post it here. Starting a new thread is not allowed as it clutters up the forum. And posting advertising links in the Chat Box is also not allowed. Please keep the ad links stargate/sci-fi or tv/movie related. Ignoring these rules may result in a ban.
Downloads
Please restict posting about episode downloads to this thread. And do not post direct links to files, torrent files, or hash links (eg: ed2k or magnet links). Links to indexing/search sites are ok though (eg: http://www.torrentspy.com/), but please don't advise people that they should download instead of purchasing the DVDs or subscribing to TV channels. DVD sales and subscriptions help rake in the money so that producing great multi-million is worthwhile for the powers that be. I do however understand though that many download so that they can watch the episodes when they're first released to the world, and also subscribe to the channels airing stargate and/or buy DVDs. So this is why we do have a thread for queries and site links, as the topic is bound to come up on a forum for fans of a TV show
