The first Stargate direct to DVD movie (spoilers and speculation)

[gategrrl]

"Stargate: The Ark of Truth"
As SG-1 searches for an Ancient artifact which they hope can defeat the armies of the Ori, they learn more Ori ships are about to be sent through the supergate to launch a final assault on Earth. Daniel discovers that the artifact, the Ark of Truth, may be in the Ori home galaxy, and SG-1 embarks aboard the Odyssey to find it, and pre-empt the attack. The IOA has a plan of their own and SG-1 ends up in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies. 

Okay. There's the official synopsis. 

What gets me is - whatever happened to using the STARGATES as transportation to and from places? I really couldn't give a fig about the rest of it at this point - but the show's main title, and the former "main prop character", was the STARGATE.  What is WRONG with these writers, that they keep missing using their most unique asset in their series? The one thing that sets it apart from all other SF series?

What a bunch of maroons.

"Stargate? What's a stargate? Oh, the big round thing collecting dust? Well, you see, we wrote the script and the idea of flying all that distance was so exciting..."
