* [[Trekkie|Star Trek fans]] are known for their running feuds with fans of other Sci-fi series/franchises; notable rivals being ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Babylon 5]]'', and ''[[Doctor Who]]''. But it seems there's a lot of warm regard, if not necessarily love, for fans of the televised ''Stargate'' shows especially ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. As different as the shows are, their similar takes on military science fiction/SpaceOpera and comparable places on the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism]] naturally means they'd appeal to a similar group. Also, it's clear the producers of ''Gate'' pay homage, if ribbingly, to ''Trek''. To top it off, throw in the number of ''Trek'' actors who've would up on one or the other ''Gate'' series and it's almost impossible to see this fandoms as rivals.

** For a long time on [[Sci Fi Channel]], ''[[The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[SG-1]]'' were both staple shows, sometimes airing within hours of each other.

* ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[24]]'' fandoms got pretty cozy what with all the former (and sometimes current) ''Trek'' actors appearing in the show in big and large parts. The connection was especially strong with ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]'' which saw Gregorty Itzin and Peter Weller doing both shows at the same time. (Itzin as President Logan on ''24'' while playing an alternate universe Starfleet Admiral on ''Enterprise''. Peter Weller portrayed a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] on both shows!) The biggest connection was when [[Show Runner]] Manny Coto left ''Enterprise'' after it was cancelled and became a producer on ''24''.
