If we're going with the 'OTL' universe at large, Goa'uld skeletons are unlikely to be different from normal ones. Also, I can't see a Goa'uld coming through immediately, not if the gate's been buried for several thousand years.Honestly, I hadn't thought that far. I tend to an accidental discovery of the Gate, with evidence of aliens (a skeleton?). Maybe better, uncovering the Gate, followed almost immediately by jaffa coming through. In essence, throw the USG, & the viewer, in the deep end from the outset. I expect the direction of the show TTL would be very different, so beyond parallel (initial) casting & a similar general direction (aliens posing as ancient gods), I wouldn't expect much else to be the same.
Never watched either of those, so would you care to explain what happens?Having thought a bit, I am troubled by the prospect of this turning into religious propaganda.Recall the ending to the 1953 version of "War of the Worlds"
(or even, I might say, the end shot of "Omega Man"
). That would dismay me...
In this era, I fear, that would be the standard response.
I'll concede both; I don't have a really good idea. (I'd still say jaffa coming through makes sense; just why IDK.)MattII said:If we're going with the 'OTL' universe at large, Goa'uld skeletons are unlikely to be different from normal ones.

Short answer (spoiler alerts): the invaders in "WotW" die right in front of a church, & Neville dies on a cross in "OM". More blatant religious symbolism is hard to imagine.MattII said:Never watched either of those, so would you care to explain what happens?
Mr_ Bondoc said:To make things rough, consider that black or Middle Eastern actors wouldn't be used for the main characters until c. 1966. To make things creepy, many of the actors would be portraying the Goa'uld in "black face" until the 1970s when the practice was dropped. Just think of how Asian-Americans felt when they saw Kung-Fu with the main character portrayed by David Carradine, while a good actor, a white actor playing to Asian stereotypes...
