SG-1 = Wizard of Oz
In a rare stroke of jimbo genius (or another aneursim), I realized that the Showtime sci-fi series Stargate: SG-1 is based on the old Wizard of Oz theme:
Teal'c: Cowardly Lion
Daniel Jackson: Dorothy
Coloniel O'Neill: Scarecrow
what's her name: Tin Man
the Goa'uld: Wicked Witch of the West
the Asgard: The Wizard
This is what geeks think about late at night, while they work out, and while driving.

First of all, "what's her name" is Samatha Carter :) Second, I am afriad I don't really see the comparison between the SG1 team to the Wizard of Oz characters. The Asgard and Goa'ul I can see. But then again maybe it's because I have never actually seen the Wizard of Oz in its entirty. Yes I know, I must live under a rock.

I don't know anything about the Wizard of Oz either, last time I saw that movie I was 15 and all I remember are flying monkeys and horrid singing.
But I do know SG1. Major Samantha Carter is one hottie.

I never even realized that SG-1 was originally a Showtime series.
