I've been watching a lot of Stargate SG-1 recently because it became available to watch on Netflix last month. Sometimes I get really big Xenosaga vibes out of it. In particular, I think the archeologist in Xenosaga Episode 1 (Masuda I think his name was?) looks a lot like Daniel Jackson, the archeologist from Stargate. I also think it's interesting that both the Stargate and the Zohar are discovered in the desert and that the Gate System was created a long time ago to allow humans to jump between worlds. To me this sounded a whole lot like the UMN Columns, or even Mass Relays (from Mass Effect). There's a bunch of other neat Xeno vibes I get from Stargate though like the Ascended Beings and nanomachines and really it's just been really fun to watch. It is a military setting though for those that aren't into that.
