Stargate SG1
Season One

Pilot: Stargate, aired: 10/28/1994 * * * *
    Doctor Daniel Jackson is recruited by Professor Katherine Langford to help interpret some ancient text symbols that were uncovered along with ancient artifacts in Egypt. After Jackson makes the interpretation, they show him the main artifact, which he has correctly identified as a "stargate", and he joins a team of Air Force special ops to go through it. On the other side, they discover a stone pyramid in the middle of a desert and a village of humanoids that work and live under the oppressive guidance of powerful aliens that they consider to be gods. Jackson searches for the information they need to get home while the gods appear from the sky in a huge pyramidal spaceship and proceed to bend the people beneath their will.
