Stargate versus Star Trek titles

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Stargate - SG-1, Atlantis, etc: The Gate Room (aka the Stargate Sink) [general topics + SG-1 topics]: Stargate versus Star Trek titles
By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:25 am:

Hi. This was my idea. In case anyone asks, I'll be posting ALL the SG-1 and Atlantis titles (as of now) that are the same as Star Trek titles, even if the Star Trek ones came later.


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:26 am:

SG-1 Season 1:

"The Enemy Within" (TOS)

"Bloodlines" (TNG)

"Singularity" (ENT)

"Tin Man" (TNG)


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:27 am:

SG-1 Season 2:

"Message in a Bottle" (VOY)

"Family" (TNG)

"A Matter of Time" (TNG)

"Shades of Grey" (TNG)

"New Ground" (TNG)

None that I recognise.


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:30 am:

SG-1 Season 5:

"Threshold" (VOY)

"Proving Ground" (ENT)

"Meridian" (DS9)


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:35 am:

SG-1 Season 6:

"Redemption" (TNG - and both were two-parters)

"Descent" (TNG)

"Allegiance" (TNG)

"Unnatural Selection" (TNG)

"Paradise Lost" (DS9)

"Metamorphosis" (TOS)

"Forsaken" (DS9...well, okay, the DS9 episode is 'The Forsaken)

"The Changeling" (TOS)

"Homecoming" (DS9, but again the DS9 version is 'The')

"Birthright" (TNG)

"Evolution" (TNG)

"Chimera" (DS9)

"Resurrection" (DS9)


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:36 am:

SG-1 Season 8:

"Zero Hour" (ENT)

"Covenant" (DS9)

"Endgame" (VOY)

"Reckoning" (DS9, but 'The')


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:37 am:

Atlantis Season 1:

"Suspicion"...TNG had 'Suspicions, but I'm not counting that one.

"Home" (ENT)

"Sanctuary" (DS9)

"The Gift" (VOY)

"The Siege" (DS9 - both versions are two-parters).


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 6:42 am:

So...in answer to Brian Webber's original question...

The number of Stargate episodes which share exactly the same name as Trek episodes is: 32 (counting two-parters as one name)

The number of episodes which share similar names (with or without 'The' and in the plural) is: 35.

Some of these (four, by my estimate) actually aired before the corresponding Star Trek episodes. The number which didn't, i.e. the number which conceivably could have been copied or inspired by Star Trek episodes is: 31.

Any questions? :)


By ScottN on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 8:51 am:

Well, that killed THAT board quickly, didn't it? :)


By Josh M on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 12:59 pm:

This happens in TV all the time. I once read somewhere that something like 20 different TV shows used "The Gift" as an ep title at some point.


By Thande on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 1:29 pm:

Yeah, I don't think you could say that any of the Stargate titles aren't something that could have been come up with independently.

However, when I see Stargate episodes entitled "For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky", "Darmok" and especially "The Siege of AR-558" :), then I'll get suspicious.


By KAM on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 - 3:07 am:

Could The Lost City have been called The City On The Edge Of Forever? ;-)

So which ones aired before Star Trek?


By Thande on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 - 6:40 am:

By my reckoning,

"Singularity" (ENT)

"Proving Ground" (ENT)

"Zero Hour" (ENT)

"Home" (ENT)


By Thande on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 - 1:45 pm:

Sorry, I just realised that I included Season 7 with Season 6. The 7 same-names begin with "Birthright".

Obvious statistics:

Most same-names season: 6

Least same-names season: 4


By KAM on Friday, November 26, 2004 - 2:36 am:

Found myself thinking, "What if the Stargate writers were as bad as the Friends writers at titles?"

Children Of The Gods would be The One Where They Meet Teal'c

Within the Serpent’s Grasp would be The One Where They Get Stuck On Apophis' Ship

In the Line of Duty would be The One Where Sam Gets Glowy Eyes


By Thande on Friday, November 26, 2004 - 6:10 am:

Serpent's Song = The One Where Apophis Dies

Enemies = The One Where Apophis Dies. Again.


By Thande on Friday, December 03, 2004 - 3:33 pm:

Mea maxima culpa! I forgot there's a DS9 episode called Rules of Engagement. :( That brings the total number of SG/ST titles to 36.


By KAM on Saturday, December 04, 2004 - 4:58 am:

So what season does that go to?


By Thande on Tuesday, January 18, 2005 - 3:40 am:

Season 3, IIRC.


By Callie on Saturday, February 05, 2005 - 11:39 am:

It’s also kind of unfortunate that Enterprise has had an episode called Daedalus just around the same time as Atlantis gets its first mention of Earth’s new battle cruiser, the Daedalus.


By Thande on Saturday, February 05, 2005 - 2:13 pm:

Who cares? Enterprise is dead now. :(

SG-1 has just had a two parter called 'Reckoning' and DS9 had "The Reckoning", so I guess that counts as another 2.
