May 9, 200718 yr comment_35278 Hello everyone! Just wanted to drop a line and seeing as it's my first post I assume that here would be the best place to do it! The Necroscope sega is fantastic and I've also enjoyed reading BL's Cthulhu Mythos stories. I'm also into sci-fi and fantasy, which brings me to my first discussion topic for your consideration... In the television series Stargate SG-1, the main "bad guys" the Gou'uld are host to a parasite that reminds me of the Vamphyri leeches. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the similarity? Report
May 9, 200718 yr comment_35279 Welcome man, I'm in Australia, and that's one of my fav shows down here, and yes, I have noticed the same. How about a spin off where the Whamphiri are related to the Goa'uld in origin, maybe thru another wormhole in Starside, if not thru Ha'tak visits. Report
May 9, 200718 yr comment_35280 Spooky, eh? Goa'Uld and their symbiotes. Still, I'd rather bump into one of them than ANY of The Wamphyri, I guess :eek: . Anyway, welcome aboard, Cobber Ed. Enjoy the fun. Report
May 19, 200718 yr Author comment_35356 Theres a cool bit of reading on wikipedia about Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture, some of it you may find surprising (who would have thought Star Trek TOS would be in the list!). Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture The Wraith in Stargate Atlantis are kinda Whamphiri-esque so there may be something in this theory... Also, thinking about it - wasnt the explainer for Sunside/Starside something to do with a crashed spaceship tilting the axis of the planet? Not sure if I read it in Blood Brothers or imagined it now!

May 19, 200718 yr comment_35357 I think I'm right in saying that the original gate on Sunside/Starside was caused by a metor(?) and the second one one was cause by the reactor blowback from Perchorsk - or something like that!! Report
May 19, 200718 yr Author comment_35358 You just reminded me of another similarity between Necroscope and Stargate, the whole travelling to other planets through a wormhole scenario! If I remember rightly, I think it could have been something that Nathan was told about when he was chatting to one of the Thyre on his way to Turgosheim. Basically the planet used to have a normal rotation of night and day, then there was some sort of "Disaster" where it was suggested that a spaceship crashed somewhere on the planet and threw it off its axis, causing the Sunside/Starside environment. I think it was pretty vague the description because no one knew what a spaceship was seeing as they had no advanced technology and they were all nomads... Its been a while since I read the Vampire World books though so I could be confusing it with something else entirely! Report
May 20, 200718 yr comment_35362 I agree with Chris, he's on the the money there-with both gates. Although I am not 100% about this, I'm a bit vague too Ed, I haven't read the books for years now. I still plan on wiping the dust off & starting again-for the third time. Report
May 21, 200718 yr comment_35372 Welcome aboard Ed. I'm sure it was described as a "white sun", there was no mention of space-ship but you're correct in the effect it had on the planet. Report
May 22, 200718 yr Author comment_35379 The spaceship exploding was the impression I got from reading the description, maybe it was something else... It would be logical to assume that it was along those lines with so much of the Cthulhu Mythos linked to alien beings etc. That's what is so great about the genre, it combines two of my favourites - science fiction and horror!

May 22, 200718 yr comment_35383 I think the "White Sun" is a synonym for the Gate or the grey hole. It tilted the axis of the planet because of its powerful gravity. I am just wondering why the gate was moved through space at all...and about the mentioned metal...but maybe it came right through the gate from somewhere else...don't know...Brian should know... But after reading what Chris said...this could be the answer...because meteorites often contain metal...and maybe what ..?Wampyhri cells? Who knows...but yes..sounds probable! Report
May 23, 200718 yr comment_35386 Maybe he wrote it with intention of letting peoples' imaginations run riot and form their own basis of how the gate was created. Seems to be the 'logical' assunption, I guess? :confused: Report
May 23, 200718 yr Author comment_35388 Maybe we should start a new thread for all these theories... My imagination is always running riot on me! Now I'm wondering how a meteor could create an explosion big enough to cause the gate to appear - mabe it was full of Naquida/Corbonite/Omega particles Report
