Star Trek

Star Trek was a science fiction television series created on Earth in the late 1960s. Though it achieved little success in its original run, it inspired several films and spin-off series years later.

The series has had a huge impact on Earth culture and jargon. For example, humans of the Tau'ri often refer to the act of using Asgard teleportation technology as "beaming." Simon Coombs, a scientist working at Stargate Command, is an obsessed fan of the series.

Martin Lloyd had plagiarised Star Trek as part of a plot to the proposed TV movie of Wormhole X-Treme!.

SG-1

 * When arriving on Abydos, Louis Ferretti greets Daniel Jackson with the Vulcan salute.
 * When asked his name by Major Thornbird, Jack O'Neill identifies himself as "Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise" before changing to "Luke Skywalker" of Star Wars. (Star Trek existed in 1969 -albeit it was an obscure show at the time. Star Wars was yet to be released)
 * When asked if he could "beam" O'Neill and Teal'c out of the X-301, Jacob Carter asks "What am I? Scotty?"
 * When going through the checklist for the X-302, Carter lists Inertial Dampeners, which are a Star Trek technology. Jack O'Neill looks surprised and replies "Cool! And check,". He then suggests "phasers" to which Samantha Carter replies "sorry, sir."
 * Simon Coombs makes various references to Star Trek. Additionally the Tok'ra agent, Khonsu, has a Klingon bat'lethon the wall behind his throne.
 * When trying to settle on a name for the Prometheus, O'Neill suggests naming it the Enterprise.
 * After waking from a drug induced state, intended to mimic death, Cameron Mitchell says to Jolan, "Well done, Bones", a reference to times Dr Leonard McCoy used a similar technique.
 * Cameron Mitchell concludes that an SG-1 team from an alternate reality is not evil because they don't have beards, due to the "Mirror Universe" in the series.
 * In a parody scene, the Odyssey was used as the Enterprise in an amalgam of the Original Series and The Next Generation. Cameron Mitchell was Captain Kirk, Teal'c was Worf, Samantha Carter was Uhura, Daniel Jackson was Dr. McCoy and Brad Wright (Series Co-creator) was Scotty.
 * When Cameron Mitchell took command of the Odyssey in 2008, the first command he gave was "weapons to maximum".

Atlantis

 * John Sheppard compares Carson Beckett trepidation about going through the Stargate to Dr. McCoy's aversion to beaming.
 * Beckett makes comments similar to McCoy's famous "I'm a doctor, not a..." lines.
 * Sheppard says "Alright -- let's remember where we parked," after activating a Puddle jumper's cloak. This is similar to a scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where Kirk tells the crew to remember where they parked a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey in Golden Gate Park, in 1985. Later, after a Wraith takes their jumper and Sheppard describes it as "his ship", Rodney McKay asks if Sheppard is Captain Kirk.
 * McKay compares Sheppard romantic behaviour towards Chaya Sar to Captain Kirk's tendency to have romantic relationships with various alien women. After learning that Chaya does have feelings for Sheppard, McKay defeatedly proclaims that Sheppard is Kirk.
 * While thinking of new names for the Hippaforalkus, Sheppard immediately says that Enterprise will not be a name for the vessel.
 * While suspecting that Sheppard is hitting on his sister, Rodney McKay calls Sheppard Kirk to make him aware of what he's doing.
 * Woolsey compares the Coalition (a new interplanetary government in the Pegasus galaxy) to a Federation. Rodney McKay notes that the "Federation" had ships, which is a reference to the tv show, Star Trek, in which Earth is a part of a Federation of planets.
 * McKay makes reference to Star Trek: The Experience, and its ending, in regards to the possibility that a wraith took up a job as a Klingon there. Dr. Zelenka was upset to hear of its closing, as he was keen on seeing the exhibit.

Universe

 * Eli Wallace claims his mother "Can barely follow an episode of Star Trek."
 * Upon encountering the obelisk planet not in Destiny's database, Eli references the Genesis Device from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

 * Rene Auberjonois (who played Constable Odo)
 * Erick Avari (who played Jamin)
 * John Billingsley (who played Dr Phlox)
 * Jolene Blalock (who played T'Pol)
 * Ronny Cox (who played Captain Edward Jellico)
 * John de Lancie (who played "Q")

 * James Spader, who played Daniel Jackson in the movie, stars on the ABC drama Boston Legal with William Shatner ("Captain Kirk" in the original Star Trek series) and Auberjonois.
 * Gary Jones, who played CMSgt Walter Harriman in Stargate SG-1, appeared on stage with the improv group TheaterSports in Vancouver, BC, parodying a well-known starship captain in "Star Trick: The Musical".
 * In one sense Stargate series was created and developed on basis of Star Trek. A lot of ideas adopted. Many earlier episodes of Stargate SG-1 were undeniably similar to episodes from the Star Trek series -- for example, "The Nox" and "Errand of Mercy." However, as the show went on and developed its own niche, this tendency gradually came to minimum. Оne way or another, Star Trek had sizeable influence on creators of Stargate. Without Star Trek the universe of Stargate would never be the same as now.
 * The season six episode "Prometheus" mirrors Star Trek Voyager's "Message In A Bottle" in most ways.
 * Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett) auditioned for the role of Scotty in the eleventh Star Trek movie. However, the role was later given to Simon Pegg. McGillion still played a minor role in the movie.
