Geography and ecology across galaxies: a comparison

Although the galaxies depicted in Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis exhibit a remarkable frequency of terrestrial, habitable planets, it is also notable that such worlds in each galaxy exhibit generally a distinct, consistent terrain.

Specifically, nearly every world on each show is a forest, and the same forest within the show, but a different one between shows. Clearly significant - this researcher thinks the Atlantis forest looks greener and has higher resolution leaves than the SG1 forest, and possibly indicative of seeding by a hitherto unknown precursor species separate to the Ancients, or possibly merely a shift in Ancient aesthetic.

Yep, the galaxies are full of worlds that look like Canada. ^_^

Good thing Canada is pretty, then.

Does that mean that the galaxies also have socialized medicine and gay marriage?

If they do, I for one intend to terraform a world in one of them and apply for citizenship.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Of course, moving to British Columbia would be cheaper... We could bug Jenn Dolari!

*Snerk*

Actually, "Live in British Columbia" has been on my list of things to do for about eight years now. ^_^ I really need to make that road trip up to Stanley Park soon...

Well, now that you mention it, I have been looking for more excuses to visit Vancouver, and I don't actually know much of anyone there right now. Perhaps I should make a point of that.

Ack? Why haven't I filled out that bloody passport application?

(Ah right--money!)

I'll be available to play tourguide for the first week of July : )

Hrm. I'll let you know!

And they all look like vegetation native to Canada! Or to be more precise, British Columbia xDDD
