Stargate Quest

The light was sudden and blinding. When they blinked the dancing spots out their eyes, they saw four people standing in the middle of the controlled chaos of a television studio set.

The four strangers were wearing military fatigues - desert tan, not the jungle green ones called for today's shoot. They looked around themselves in wonder and delight. Their eyes fell on the actors and their grins became even more joyous then before. They started to approach the actors, walking in a strange shambling gait.

One of the extras raised his firearm and scowled threateningly. One of the other extras leaned over and whispered, "What are you doing? These things aren't loaded."

The other man whispered back, "Maybe they don't know that."

The strangers came to a stop. One stepped forward.

"Please forgive our sudden intrusion. We were not able to make contact with your gate, so we had to use the transporter. No doubt Colonel Carter and your excellent staff will have your stargate working in no time."

The leader of the strangers greeted each actor in turn.

"General O'Neill, it is good to see you at Stargate Command again - yeahsureyoubetcha."

The actor who had played O'Neill for eight seasons blinked; for once he had no ready retort.

The stranger then bowed to "Colonel Carter" and kissed her hand. "You are as beautiful as you are brilliant and brave."

The strangers worked their way through the line, greeting each actor as if they were really the character they portrayed. Work came to halt - every extra and technician had stopped to gawk at the display. Finally the strangers stepped back and addressed the room.

"We have traveled far to ask for your assistance. You must save us," they all trilled in their strange, high voices.

The director sighed and started hitting his head with his clipboard. This was really going to put them behind schedule.

SG1 x Galaxy Quest.

I love this movie - when ever I'm down, I throw it on the player. (and get the DVD - the extras include a Thermian language track)

My husband and I also quote this movie whenever we see a good show do a bad thing - "Who ever wrote this episode should die!"
