What exactly are we seeing in Stargate? Is it a TV show about democracy/"democratic imperialism" vs. monarchy/theocracy/old style imperialism?

I like the TV show Stargate SG1 (i think it's original run of maybe 4 seasons is over, i am catching up on many missed episodes on hulu , UPDATE: 10 seasons). On the surface level it's a fun TV show to watch to unwind after a long day - space action show, featuring McGuyver (Richard Dean Anderson) in the lead role, battling a host of baddies from far off planets. But there are some interesting/maybe not all good stuff beneath the surface, here is a brief list: 1 - The key bad guys - the gaould (don't take my spelling of their name to be the exact one, i am not that much of a stargate nerd to go research it at the moment) - use (or i should say the tv show uses) terms & mythology from ancient Egypt.

So, right off the bat, elements of a non-Western culture are used to represent the evil force or one of the main evil forces in the story. 2. T

Sean Meadows' 5 day feature: articles at The Guardian & indieWIRE

Read about it at The Guardian . UPDATE: Oh, wait, indieWIRE's got a great article on the Meadows film, with a link to the trailer (perhaps this is why i should visit the main page of iW more often instead of just reading the blogs page :) From the article: "Having first appeared on the DVD extras of Meadows’s “Once Upon a Time in the Midlands,” they were never able to find “an outlet for Donk.” But after the emotionally draining shoot that was 2006’s “This is England,” Meadows “was ready to have some fun.” The result is this 71-minute film, which follows Le Donk’s selfish quest to find fame through getting his lone client, Scor-zay-zee (played by real-life rapper Dean Palinczuk - who joined the project literally a day before it began) a gig opening for the Arctic Monkeys - or “Artical Monkeys,” as Donk calls them. Meadows takes part as well, playing himself as the director of the documentary within the mockumentary (check out a trailer for the film here )." Re
