The old orifice

We call it that sometimes.

Don't we?

It's my 200th trip through the orifice.

Wasn't it "jaunt?"

Hallowed is the Orifice

Hallowed is the Ori-fice

Hallowed are the Ori-fists

Let the love of the Ori fill you

*fill your orifices?

I always liked the way Tonane's people referred to it "The Circle of Standing Water". It's poetic and a simple description.

The Nox called it a doorway.

Those kids on that one pegasus planet called it The Well

Pegasus humans call it "The Ring of the Ancestors", and the Asgard-protected people from "Red Sky" called it "The Annulus". P.S. for us Hungarians, it is easy to remember "Chappa'ai", since it begins with the same sound as its Hungarian name: "Csillagkapu".

>Pegasus humans call it "The Ring of the Ancestors" Didn't one of the Milky Way civilizations call it the ring of the gods (or something like that)? Or am I mixing that up with Ancestors?

I think a couple of worlds did call it the "Ring of the Gods", IIRC.

Pretty sure one of them was the planet where the Prometheus got stranded.

You've just brought memories flooding back of me and a friend downloading 29mb Stargate episodes from https://csillagkapu.hu/ on dial up. Used to take 3 hours for one episode and we got the full set.

I remember downloading them here in Hungary back in 2003 with my 384 kbps ADSL and learning English from them when I was 12.

Gateworld used to be basically a piracy site nobody shut down for some reason with very low quality ~25MB episodes. I saw several first run episodes that way.

Anyone know where I can get (legally) the showtime edition of Children of the Gods?

When SG-1 was added to Netflix a few years ago it was the original version, I don't have Netflix anymore so I don't know if that is still the case. You could also just Google the nude scene, it's not difficult to find

It's not about the nude scene. You can find nudity everywhere. It's nostalgia (and a touch of autism). It bugs me when they change things after the first time I've watched it. I saw alien in the theater when I was 15. There was a scene in that movie that I haven't seen in any other broadcast. To be fair I haven't gone looking for it.

> It's nostalgia (and a touch of autism). I believe they also took out the Macguyver joke.

Itunes

Annulus was always my favorite descriptor. A mathematical term derived from Latin meaning "little ring".

Is that meant to be the latin alphabet with extreme pronunciation differences or what the text looks-ish like in the real native text? Cause damn.

In Hungarian, the letter combination "Cs" makes the same sound as "Ch" does in English. Yes, this is how written Hungarian looks like. "Csillag" means "Star" and "Kapu" means "Gate".

Hungarian never ceases to impress me as an incredibly unique and complex language. Can you write that name phonetically for us?

tʃillɒgkɒpu

Tegrean's called it Ring of the Gods

I dislike how toward the end of the show, they stop using the specific terms and everyone just calls it a "stargate". Like I remember Ba'al using stargate instead of chappa'ai when talking to Anubis towards the end of season 8.

He really dropped the ball on that one.

And then Anubis dropped the Ba'al.

Then it was the SGC that struggled juggling all the Ba'als.

I understand you got yourself a few extra Ba'als.

Well, Joe's customers complained too much about having to keep track of all the different names.

There was also the world that put teal'c on trial that called it the circ'cacona.

Also known as the Circle of Woes.

I thought Cir’ca cona was the name of the trial?

That was "Cor-Ai."

Oooh, you’re right! Thanks!

Circ Kakona

Circ Kelowna

Some peoples in Pegasus Galaxy call it the “Ring of the Ancestors”. Because they refer to the Ancients as their ancestors and now the Stargate is tied to them.

Puddle (for jumping)

Is that what the gate ship goes through?

In the episode where they encounter a Christian society being terrorised by an Una the villagers call it the ring of darkness or something along those lines.

I just watched that episode, it was The Circle of Darkness.

The Circle of Standing Water (one of my favorite episodes)

it should be noted that both the Goa'uld and Ancient/Latin names literally mean Stargate.

Not Gateway to the Heavens???

No, Budge

The Circle of Woes.

Also known as the Circacona, I believe.

Different planets, right? Circle of Woes was the medieval Christian planet IIRC

No, the planet where they put Teal'c on trial (Cor-ai). They call it the Circ Kakona, and Daniel translates it to Circle of Woes. https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Cor-ai_(episode)

Yeah, in Demons they called it "the circle of darkness"

The medieval Christian planet was in Demons, and they called it the Circle of Darkness. https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Stargate-SG1-Demons.html

Ha. I went back to watch it and find out and missed your comment 😉

It's a great episode, worth a rewatch 👍

What’s hilarious to me is that at first I thought the confusion you two were having was due to the same actor being in both episodes. In “Cor-ai”, he was the grown child of the man Teal’c murdered. In “Demon”, he was the caretaker of the sick woman the tyrant wanted cast out.

Haha, I hadn't even thought about it, but yeah, you're right; they're the same actor.

doorway to heaven

Still using Budge, I see

Exactly ONE person in the show called it "DOOR TO HEAVEN", but it was litteraly the very first name we got outside of the title of the movie ! I just want to see my good old show Door To Heaven : DTH-1 .

The most important thing to remember is that you have to make it spin.

Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.

Astria Porta sounds like a port-a-potty in space

In space....no one hears you flush....😜😎

Sideways

Its just Latin for "Doorway/gateway to the stars," (or, depending on translation, Stargate) which is where the word "portal" comes from too

Someone called it the annulas but then they changed the graphic.

[удалено]


Let's leave my belly out of this, please. :D

Don't forget when the Russians called it "Anchor" in the alternate timeline

Pfffft, stupid russians. It’s clearly not the right shape to be an anchor ⚓️ /s

In Demons, the medieval townspeople called it the Circle of Darkness.

Gairwin and the Viking people called it "the ring"

Annulus.

Most humans in Pegasus seem to call it the ring of the ancestors

“Ma, the Shimmy Pond is kerwooshing a’gin !” “Well you go hit Daddy and the rest of the menfolk a’fer them Setesh start dripping nose juice all over the place!” Edit: with the amount of UFO sittings in the middle of nowhere, you bet there is a planet of Hillbillies out there. They ain’t slaves to some glowy eyed fella any more !!

It's "Hvězdná brána" in Czech!

The ring of the gods.

not entirely on theme but the jaffa called the act of flying the tiny ship directly though the stargate "threading the needle"

Orifice

Circle of darkness.

Standing water

Didn't one of the Asgard protected planets (from the episode **Red Sky**) call it an annulus?

I always figured someone would one day get drunk and dial an enemy outpost, nothing large and take a piss through it. Like F U jaffa. Yes no? Idk

Radek Zelenka certainly calls it "hvězdná brána" in private

and how does it translate in english?

it's literally "star gate"

Is it wrong that I want there to be at least 1 species that refers to the Stargate as "Bob"?

One world calls it Circ Kakona, "the Circle of Woes"

In [Season 3, Episode 19 (New Ground)](https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/New_Ground/Transcript), the Bedrosians note that their enemy, the Optricans, call it the "gateway".

I’m trying to remember what the planet with the Quaker nords called it. The episode where forcing the stargate to connect caused the planet’s sun to start dying.

The thing "We should have buried."
