Did get one from Mr Spinner, but I paid $30 for it. BTW, both these were really cool guys and I was delighted to exchange a few nods with them. and on a St Patrick eve (2005?) flew from Chicago to Boston next to Colm Meaney. Separately, and by accident, I once (ca 1994) sat on a seat next to Q (John De Lancie) for two hours (flight from ABQ to Orange County or LAX - it's been a while). I posted separately about Mr Spinner's wish to become "the next Doctor" - but I was torpedoed on /r/startrek. Brent was funny to the point that I would seriously advise him to start working as a stand-up comedian, except people will always think of him as "Data" (which is too bad). Bonus features include an "Animated Stargate Effects Test" and original concept art.Do Brent Spinner & Dean Stockwell count? Met them at the Hard Rock Casino near Albuquerque last Saturday. This being a children’s show, it also has a mandated educational element (we learn about everything from the difference between stalactites and stalagmites to the kind of arches used in Roman architecture), as well as various life lessons (believe in yourself, don’t judge others by appearance alone, etc.) to the show’s credit, the latter tend to be laid on with a trowel instead of a shovel. The villains have changed as well: principal among them are the huge, lizard-like Tlak'kahn, whose agenda, like all bad guys of their ilk, appears to be nothing less than total domination of the cosmos.ĭespite the inherent limitations of television cartoons (principally the lack of a big enough budget to animate both characters and settings convincingly), Stargate: Infinity has all of the elements designed to appeal to its young (and presumably mostly male) audience, like cool aliens (Gigantic bugs! Slimy monsters!) and constant high-energy action sequences. In their place are Major Gus Bonner (a salty, irreverent leader somewhat in the mold of SG-1 main man Richard Dean Anderson) and a team that includes a couple of teenagers, a half-human, half-alien brainiac, an empathic Native American, and weird creature who may or may not be one of the highly evolved "Ancients" familiar from the live action series.

It takes place years after the adventures chronicled in the long-running Stargate SG-1 TV show (in this world, the existence of the Stargate is now common knowledge), which means that all of that series’ familiar characters are long gone. But pretty much everything else about Infinity is different. Of course, the Stargate itself, the alien device that creates "wormholes" through which characters travel to different worlds, is still front and center indeed, the visual effects used to depict the contraption are very similar in both animation and live action. The once top-secret Stargate Command and its work have been declassified, and beings from other worlds are living among us.īut now there s a new threat and Major Gus Bonner must lead a group of young SGC cadets through the Stargate to protect the life of an Ancient from hostile new enemies.Īll 26 episodes from Stargate Infinity’s single season (2002-03) are included in this four-disc DVD package, and although it bears only a passing resemblance to the feature film, television series, and made-for-TV movies that share its name (in fact, it apparently isn’t even considered an "official" member of the Stargate universe), the show boasts enough good qualities of its own to make for perfectly serviceable animated entertainment.
The war with the evil parasitic Goa uld is won.
#STARGATE ICON CAST SERIES#
This animated series chronicles a generation after the SGC first stepped through the alien device known as the Stargate. Inspired by the blockbuster feature film and its two popular television spinoffs: Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: Infinity further explores the universe through the eyes of those few who are brave enough to venture through the mysterious Stargate.
