Lore Leading Up to SG-1 Season 7:
The text doesn’t detail in-universe lore (like the Ancient history or the goa’uld threat), but rather the out-of-universe lore – the growth and presentation of the Stargate story to the audience. Here’s what we can gather:
* Foundation in the Movie: The series built upon the events of the 1994 Stargate movie.
* Early Seasons (1-6): The frist six seasons established the core premise: the discovery of the Stargate, the formation of SG-1, exploration of the galaxy, conflict with the Goa’uld, and encounters with othre alien races.
* Building Anticipation for Season 7: The Sci-Fi Channel actively used specials to build excitement for Season 7. Specifically, “From Stargate to Atlantis: A Sci-Fi Lowdown” was an introductory special specifically leading into Season 7 and the launch of Stargate Atlantis. This suggests Season 7 likely involved elements that would tie into the new series, perhaps setting up the broader universe or introducing concepts relevant to Atlantis.
* Continued Behind-the-Scenes Exploration: Throughout the run of SG-1 and the launch of Atlantis, the Sci-Fi Channel aired numerous documentaries and specials (“Sci-Fi lowdown,” “Sci-Fi Inside,” “True Science,” anniversary specials, “Behind the Mythology”) that delved into the show’s creation, science, and world-building.These specials reinforced the established lore and provided deeper understanding for fans.
In essence, by Season 7, Stargate SG-1 had a substantial foundation of established lore, and the network was actively using supplementary material to engage fans and prepare them for the expansion of the franchise with Stargate Atlantis.
