GateWorld Podcast: Parallel Realities / Altered Timelines

Visit the GateWorld Podcast page for more about the show!

This week’s installment of the GateWorld Podcast brings a very different sort of conversation. Since no new episode of Stargate Atlantis aired last week, Darren and David jump on a topic we have wanted to talk about for a while now. We’re talking about parallel realities and altered timelines in the Stargate universe.

How do they similar and different? What are the different ways to cross realities, or to travel in time? What happens if you make a change in your own past? And what about Entropic Cascade Failure? We’ll talk about all this and more in our special discussion this week!
