Yes indeed, it does look a lot more like that than BSG ships.

OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGH-
Oh wait, no one mentioned the reimagined series. Damn.

As far as I can tell, 1978 happened before 2003, but maybe you have a different take on things.

I’ve always liked the look of the earth ships in SG1. Looks like something we would actually build.

Actually you need to brush up on your cheesy sci-fi history. BSG dates back to 1978. The new series ships are almost identical to the original with the Galactica getting a more industrial (less star wars) skin. If you knock the cheesy pyramids and blocks off of the top of the SG ships then there definitely is a lot of similarity. Course BSG most likely stole the idea from somewhere else.

It also looks a lot like a cock and balls. I try to point this out every time I see a discussion involving ships from the Stargate TV show. I like to think of it as a public service.

Is this seriously what they look like? That thing on the right looks like spaceships I drew when I was 6

YEAH!

Oh wait, Stargate predates BSG (the reimagined series). Damn.

What you see there is the Prometheus which was introduced in 2003, a year before BSG series hit the streets and about half a year before the miniseries was aired.

Unless SG1 traveled back in time again they couldn’t have copied the Galactica.

Actually, what am I saying, did you even take a look at Galactica? They don’t look even remotely similar.

They don’t look remotely BSG-ish. You need your eyes checked.

In the movie the ship was a pyramid. I’m assuming Stargate explored an extraverse option.

Holy shit, Galactica going up against three Cylon Base Stars, that’s fucking awes- oh, wait, Stargate.

I mean, really, could they copy the look of BSG any harder? Oh look, they crammed pyramids into the base stars, that makes them original.
