[Damocles]

*AHEM*

The following used the same basic premise/concept/plot conciet:

STARGATE.........................wormhole teleportation.
STARGATE SG-1.................wormhole teleportation
STARGATE ATLANTIS...........wormhole teleportation
SLIDERS............................brane intersection and pass-through.
FLASH GORDON*.................that abomination used the Slider's premise but failed so it comes under the heading of magic.

Otherworld was out and out MAGICAL TRANSPORT based on pyramid power and dream sequence. The arrivals had a world of artificial social constructs based on actual physical border control (separate worlds maintianed by a state). Please give me a break. There was no McGuffin that even remotelely could explain the trash the producers of Otherworld tried to foist as their "universe". When the "rules" don't make any sense, then I'm out the door on it leaving the suspension of disbelief in the dust.
