MGM vs Icke

[agapooka]

The premises:

Case 1: Stargate: SG-1, where the Goa'ulds are depicted as a snake-form alien race, which enslaved earth's human population, posed as the gods of ancient religions and are capable of taking human hosts, thereby granting them the ability to appear in human form.

Case 2: David Icke, a British, new-age conspiracy theorist claims that a reptilian-like alien race enslaved earth's human population, posed as the gods of ancient religions and are capable of taking human form through genetic mutations and the drinking of human blood.

I would like to propose that the inherent similarities between the two cases would imply one of the following three links between them:

1. SG-1 was inspired by Icke's theories.
2. Icke was inspired by SG-1.
3. Both SG-1 and Icke are inspired by a third party, or multiple, directly or indirectly interconnected, third parties.

Alternatively, this could be the work of the scapegoat of the sceptic: coincidence; however, I believe that the reader will agree that it's much more fun to argue about the nature of the link binding the two cases than it is to establish whether or not there is one in the first place.

Clearly MGM was inspired by Icke's theories. Icke started his research in 1990, SG-1 did not air until 1997.

Case closed.

Nobody wants to discuss this? What a bunch of boring people we have here! Why, I'll go talk to the bugs crawling under moist rocks.

Mmmm. Moist rocks.
