Each week they are taken to new planets where ancient human civilizations have been seeded as slave populations by the show's arch-villains, the parasitic, body-snatching Goa'uld. The series' concerns therefore range from ancient cultures and contemporary politics, to aliens and advanced technologies, all given life with award-winning special effects and anchored by the central icon of the Stargate. \"Stargate SG-1\" has blossomed into a series driven by fierce fan loyalty, with lively internet discussion groups, growing 'textual poaching' in fan fiction and art, and popular annual conventions. It has also generated a spin-off, \"Stargate: Atlantis\".\u003cbr\u003eIn this welcome critical celebration, contributors discuss \"Stargate SG-1's\" characters, cinematic techniques, its themes and its place within science fiction television and film, along with its interaction with fan fiction, its Canadian setting, its ideological framing in the American point-of-view, and the tensions between its humanistic morality and its representation of military\/political objectives. There is also assessment of the currently fledgling \"Stargate: Atlantis\". Written for both fans and scholars, the book also includes an episode guide to the first eight seasons of \"Stargate SG-1\" and to the first season of \"Stargate: Atlantis\", as well as a glossary of terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stan Beeler, Lisa Dickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845111834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845111830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
