As we kick off our Stargate arc we’re joined by Cliff Simon. Highlights: we relate our introduction(s) to ‘gate, enjoy how in the Stargate universe humans live by their wits and understanding of culture as opposed to our technology, note that the “non-interference” program only really works when you’re at the top of the technology food chain, enjoy the SGC’s quality leadership, learn from Mr. Simon how he brought ultimate-SG-1-nemesis Ba’al to life, talk origin-of-humanlike-species-around-the-galaxy in sci-fi, and generally get our SG geek on!
