Stargate Infinity
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox television Stargate Infinity is an animated spin-off of the television series Stargate SG-1, which is in turn a spin-off of the 1994 film Stargate. The writers and producers of Stargate SG-1 and other future live-action Stargate projects are not at all involved with Infinity. "According to SG-1 co-creator Brad Wright, the animated series should not be considered official Stargate canon, although he says he personally does not "have a problem with it. I'm just not involved."[1]
Stargate Infinity is co-produced by MGM and DiC Entertainment and directed by Will Meugniot. It premiered in September, 2002, as part of FOX's Saturday morning line-up and went off the air in June, 2003.
Summary
In the film Stargate, an alien device that comes to be known by that name is discovered in Egypt, in 1928. Daniel Jackson discovers its purpose in 1993: to create wormholes to similar devices across the galaxy, allowing travellers to reach distant planets. In Stargate SG-1, Jackson becomes part of a team called SG-1, alongside Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter, and an alien named Teal'c. Stationed at the SGC, a top-secret military base, they begin on missions through the Stargate to find new technology or make allies, for the purpose of the defence of Earth from the dominant power of the galaxy, the evil Goa'uld.
Infinity is set approximately 30 to 40 years after the SG-1 team first used the Stargate (Stargate SG-1: "Children of the Gods"). According to the show, by that time the Stargate had become public knowledge, and some aliens had become citizens of Earth (or countries on Earth). A team of young recruits led by a veteran member of the SGC, Major Gus Bonner leads a team through the gate after being framed by an alien infiltrator of the hostile Tlak'kahn race (the Goa'uld having long since been defeated; This was written years before they were actually defeated on SG-1). The team must travel from world to world until they find the evidence to clear their names while learning about the unique cultures in the galaxy, alongside learning about themselves in the process. The show often featured an educational comment or summary about the moral lessons learned during the course of an episode, and because of this Stargate Infinity can easily be classified as Edutainment.
The show was cancelled before the mission could be resolved.
