    On the subject of Stargate; a new series is being made. I’m jaded as fuck considering that every attempt at reviving classic sci-fi and fantasy has been done by those least qualified.

    But when it does come, I really hope Stargate embraces an alternate history approach, because if it turns out the whole Stargate program is somehow still a secret, then it’ll be unbelievable to the point of absurdity.

      Yes. I think, what happens when the Stargate Program becomes public knowledge is one of the most interesting premises the show could work with.

      They’ve been trying to make a new Stargate series for years. Pretty much since Universe bombed, but especially since Amazon bought MGM. Last I heard they had recruited Joseph Mallozzi to run the new show. He has been with Stargate since season 4 of SG-1 and supposedly was heavily involved with Atlantis but not as involved with Universe, so we shall see but I’m not going to hold my breath for a good show.

        I’m not holding my breath either. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it does turn out to actually be good. But otherwise… We shall see.

      I mean, I didn’t catch the last one but I actually liked universe. One, I liked that they tried something different. Two I liked all the non-cw-teen-romance stuff. That teen drama, I think I was not the target audience. I am not sure the target audience exists but I will allow that someone could have liked it, the actors weren’t bad per se. Also doctor whatshisface was good. The, uh, he looks kind of weasely in character? I like that actor. Bob Bobberson. I should recordar this. I should read the follow up comics.
