Now that I've watched more of the "Stargate SG-1" television series episodes, a production I never followed when it was active on television and that I have only recently started watching many of the episodes, I have decided to again watch the "Stargate: Continuum" version for a DVD I bought long ago.
I bought it long ago but never watched it until only a few years ago.
The internet tells me that production was released 10 years ago last month.
I watched it once before but was probably half-drunk.
Regardless, much of it was hard to follow. I didn't know most of the characters. Much of the stuff they talked about was foreign to me.
The reason I'm thinking about that is because, as I have the video paused in the first few minutes of the DVD to make this note, I remember reading, if I remember correctly and without going back to check, that it was supposed to be a feature film, the way the original version of "Stargate" from 1994 was a movie released in the theatres.
But they didn't release it in the theatres.
And watching the first few minutes I am still puzzled over that.
I find myself comparing it to the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" television series. After the series ended, there was a movie. That was the 1994 "Star Trek: Generations".
Got a lot of press.
So what's the difference?
William Shatner?
The production values are the same. TNG was just a bunch of prop work sets in a movie studio. "Continuum" doesn't look all that different from TNG.
What struck me most, I remember most of all from a vague memory of going to watch "Generations" in a movie theatre in Charlotte, North Carolina, was the brightness of the rooms on the starship Enterprise.
They were in orbit around a star and there was a brightness that I didn't recall from the television series.
"Continuum" was interesting as a production. Now that I'm more familiar with series I have been wanting to go back and watch it again.
If everything I theorize about is true - AND IT MUST BE TRUE! - then I exist today in some sort of trap I - the previous version of myself - created for me. Seems to me that previous version would have left behind some clues, some keys, for me to find at some point in the future and to use to free myself.
Considering everything I have documented - and that is completely lost on you dim-witted dullards - then there is good reason to believe I could find my way out by reviewing productions such as "Stargate".
My notes even tell me so. And I began to suspect a while back that my notes, all that stuff I published online and offline, is a deliberate and complex LIE created by past versions of myself.
