22 Years Later, Jason Momoa’s Overlooked Sc-Fi Series Is Officially Free on YouTube
Following the 1994 film Stargate’s failure to launch a planned trilogy, director Roland Emmerich pivoted to Independence Day. However, the Stargate universe continued through Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner’s television series Stargate SG-1, which became a successful 10-season run on the Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy).
SG-1 expands the franchise’s premise with an interstellar crew using advanced portals called Stargates to traverse the galaxy. The team pursues two primary objectives: discovering alien technology and protecting Earth from extraterrestrial threats. The series primarily employs an episodic adventure-of-the-week narrative structure, punctuated by occasional significant story developments and reveals.
The show is now available for free viewing on YouTube, making the long-overlooked science fiction series accessible to new audiences and longtime fans.
