The co-creator of the iconic series „Stargate SG-1,“ Brad Wright, has expressed his thoughts on two significant aspects of the show he would change. The series, which debuted in 1997, expanded the franchise initially launched by Roland Emmerich’s film in 1994.
„Stargate SG-1“ followed a team of explorers who traveled to alien worlds through the Stargate portal. The show gained a devoted fan base and led to multiple spin-offs, creating a vast entertainment empire that includes comics, video games, and novels.
Symbiote Pouches
Wright has stated that he would eliminate the portrayal of symbiote pouches, which were used to depict Goa’uld parasites residing within Jaffa hosts. He found the execution of this concept unappealing, despite appreciating the idea itself.
Nudity in the Pilot
Another aspect Wright regrets is the inclusion of nudity in the pilot episode, „Children of the Gods.“ Initially pushed by Showtime executives, the decision faced backlash from the cast, particularly Amanda Tapping. Although the scene was later removed from subsequent airings, Wright has expressed his discontent with its inclusion.
These reflections highlight the challenges faced during the show’s development and the decisions that shaped its legacy. For more information, visit the original article here.
