See stars Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Jewel Staite, and David Hewlett back in character for the first time in over a decade. They’re joined by Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe co-creator Brad Wright, Google A.I.’s Laurence Mulroney, and special guest host and Stargate super-fan, Brooklyn 99‘s Marc Evan Jackson.

Taking after the author's vision of the pilot, visual effects have been enhanced, the soundtrack has been updated to include an entirely original score, and the new final cut features a more self-contained storyline. Picking up the story nearly a year after the original 1994 Stargate film, Jack O'Neill and Sam Carter join a formidable Stargate team on a mission to Abydos to defeat fierce warriors led by the vicious Ra. With the threat of the brutal Gou'ald hanging over the galaxy, the team must succeed - or General Hammond will unleash an apocalyptic solution!

This special deals with how the SG-1 series intertwined many of Earth's mythologies into its plots and story lines, and about the many alien character connections with Earth’s great mythological figures.

The 200th episode of the venerated sci-fi series is discussed during this special.

Amanda Tapping takes us on a fascinating look at how many aspects surrounding SG-1 have a basis in real science.
