A little while ago I switched off the TV after watching a DVD - and realised that the film that was showing on TV after I'd switched off the player was the original Stargate movie.

All I can say is that it is truly strange to see Daniel Jackson with long floppy blond hair...

These days I just think of it as one of those alternate timeline episodes :) In the first few SG-1 episodes it was interesting to watch Michael Shanks make the transition from a James Spader impersonation into his own version of Daniel Jackson.

It's one of those shows which for some reason I don't re-watch much. Maybe I should.

I've always gotten a kick out of the bit at the end of "Wormhole X-Treme!":

I'm Christian Bocher. I'm portraying the character of Raymond Gunne, who portrays the character of Dr. Levant, which is based on the character Daniel Jackson, portrayed by the actor Michael Shanks, originally portrayed by the actor James Spader...in the feature film.

Oh yeah, that's about as meta as you can get :)

More often I find myself watching a movie on TV, coming to a commercial break, and then going "Hey, I don't have to watch these commercials! I've got this on DVD...in widescreen!"

Ha, yes, I do that quite often myself.

Given the existence of Wormhole X-Treme in the Stargate series universe, could the film be thought of as something similar?

Imagine the reactions of the series characters to having fairly well known Holywood actors playing them.
