We touch on the upcoming SyFy series Defiance, Game of Thrones, Fringe, Blood and Chrome and numerous other cult hits in this hour. 59:09 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Sun, 23 Dec 2012 03:26:46 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-12-23.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-12-23.mp3 Overstaying Your Welcome GateWorld Overstaying Your Welcome We all have fond memories of sci fi shows which died long before their time. But what about the other end of the spectrum? Are there sci fi shows which lasted far past their prime? Are any of the Stargate series among them? GateWorld Podcast hosts David and Diana examine this topic in detail in this episode! We open our show with a little catch-up time, explaining why that elusive interview with Kate Hewlett hasn't arrived yet, and then spend several minutes discussing the Big Finish Stargate audio drama series, with an exclusive sample for your listening pleasure. 55:22 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:25:46 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-26.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-26.mp3 Window of Opportunity GateWorld Window of Opportunity It has been called one of the greatest Stargate SG-1 episodes of all time. Now David and Diana spend the better part of an hour pulling it apart piece by piece. Window of Opportunity borrowed a classic plot device from the Bill Murray cult favorite, Groundhog Day, but the show contains something deeper which continues to resonate with fans nearly 15 years after it has aired. We will get into the exploration of our beloved characters, chaos theory and actions without consequences, in this episode! 40:23 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Thu, 20 Sep 2012 22:18:32 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-20.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-20.mp3 TimeGate Writers Panel GateWorld TimeGate Writers Panel We have been fortunate to have a GateWorld Podcast co-host with a Hollywood background, not to mention a published Stargate novel (and another on the way) under her belt. But we really haven't had the opportunity to ask her about the novel she wrote, nor her writing style. In this podcast, co-host David Read moderates a panel between co-host/author Diana Dru Botsford and author Melissa Scott at the TimeGate writers panel. We spend time discussing the various incarnations of the characters (interpreted by different authors), the future of the publishing industry, eBook advantages and pitfalls, the changing shape of entertainment consumption and more. In addition, David and Diana will finally spill the beans on a project they have been developing for nearly two years. 57:17 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Wed, 12 Sep 2012 04:26:46 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-12.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-09-12.mp3 Flawed (But Likeable) Characters GateWorld Flawed (But Likeable) Characters Yesterday was the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, an event which arguably changed the television-viewing landscape considerably. TV programming began to turn towards more dark, realistic characters, where the lines of right and wrong began to blur. In the spirit of that, David and Diana devote a full hour (plus a little extra) to examining the flawed, and entirely likeable, characteristics of numerous Stargate characters, from Jack O'Neill to Nicholas Rush, and go beyond to look into various sci-fi (and some non sci-fi) shows which developed similar characters. 72:53 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:27:24 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-07-30.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-07-30.mp3 Something for Everybody GateWorld Something for Everybody With so much in the news, David and Diana spend a week digesting everything from the new Stargate app to the Aurora, Colorado shooting.

As a special treat, the two are joined by Joel's long-time collaborator and friend Neal Acree, who assisted Goldsmith since Season Three of SG-1. 58:24 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:00:00 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-04-29.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-04-29.mp3 Becoming Infinite GateWorld Becoming Infinite On the latest installment of the podcast David and Diana discuss the path of the human race. They talk about the accessibility of information, our mortality, transcending consciousness from our bodies into another plane, and what could become of our society as technology continues to push the envelope. We also discuss some of the current sci-fi offerings available on TV. 46:58 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Fri, 02 Mar 2012 03:00:00 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-03-02.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2012-03-02.mp3 Passing the Baton GateWorld Passing the Baton The GateWorld Podcast is back! We have new plans for the show in 2012, including new Stargate topics and some expansion into talk about other television favorites. But first ... there's a big change to announce, as Darren gets ready to take some time off and passes the baton to a brand new regular co-host. Joining Darren and David for the show this week is our favorite guest star and newly promoted co-host, Diana Botsford! Diana teaches screenwriting as an Assistant Professor at Missouri State University. She has degrees in screenwriting and producing from Boston University, and creative writing from Seton Hill University. Prior to joining Missouri State University, she spent 12 years in Los Angeles in the television and film industry, followed by 5 years developing streaming media content and community-driven websites for Microsoft. She's also a Stargate novelist, penning "Four Dragons" and the new forthcoming novel "The Drift." (Visit her Web site at DianaBotsford.com.) We'll catch up on what we have been doing, the future of the podcast, and what's to come on GateWorld. We'll also talk about new sci-fi movies, Diana's next Stargate SG-1 novel and student film project, and more. 45:09 stargate, sg-1, sg1, atlantis, universe, news, interviews, features, scifi, sci-fi, science fiction, podcast, gateworld, gate, episodes, reviews Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:05:18 EST http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2011-10-29.mp3 http://stream.gateworld.net/podcast/media/GateWorld-Podcast_2011-10-29.mp3 Open Line Night GateWorld Open Line Night On this month's show we're opening up the phone lines for another Open Line Night! Stargate fans from around the world have questions and opinions about the final episodes of SGU and the future of the franchise. What should a fourth Stargate series be about? GateWorld's editors, Darren and David, talk about all this -- plus the Stargate novels, negative reactions to Stargate Universe, character loyalties on SGU, episode commentaries with Stargate actors, and much more. And we'll also chat about the other science fiction and fantasy shows we've been watching, including Game of Thrones and Terra Nova. Call the Podcast Hotline!

Joining Darren and David for "SGU Deconstructed" is our friend Diana Botsford, author of the Stargate SG-1 novel "Four Dragons" (and its upcoming sequel, "The Drift") and Assistant Professor at Missouri State University, where she teaches on screenwriting. On this installment of the GateWorld Podcast we'll talk about the visual beauty of the show, arc-based storytelling and the show's slow start in Season One, and the likability of the characters. We'll also compare SGU to its Stargate predecessors, talk about romance and sexuality on the show, cliffhangers and scheduling, and a whole lot more.

Darren and David will recap the past season in its entirety, including some major storylines for several characters, the evolution of the crew, and the revelation of Destiny's mission. We'll also talk about the Lucian Alliance, Destiny getting inside the team's heads, the drones, and the people of Novus.

In a massive, 82-minute installment this week, Darren and David are talking about "Gauntlet," the season finale that left many SGU fans happy but still wanting more. We'll discuss the drone threat and how they've targeted Destiny, Eli's crazy idea to bypass the enemy, and the crew's last goodbyes to their loved ones back home. We'll also talk about whether this episode is at all satisfying as a final episode, and what the writers were thinking about for resolving the cliffhanger at the start of Season Three. And we have tons of voicemail from Stargate fans on the series finale and the end of SGU. The podcast will continue on a somewhat less regular schedule, as we have time. Next up is our discussion of Season Two as a whole, followed by an overall look at the third series in "SGU Deconstructed."

We'll also discuss Dr. Park's terrifying ordeal during the ship's trip through a blue supergiant, and whether we thought she would live or die. At the top of the show we'll also discuss some of the big headlines in recent weeks, including Darren's editorial on how wrestling is killing science fiction and the open letter to fans from Syfy Channel's Craig Engler. We'll give the run-down on the Stargate Rewatch (starting August 1), and we have plenty of listener mail from fans all over the world discussing recent episodes and the cancellation.

We'll talk about the return of the drone ships and the new tricks they have up their sleeves, Destiny's descendants and their hope of returning home to Novus, and our first glimpses at an alternate history for our crew.

We'll also discuss the newly discovered stasis chambers (and why Destiny has them at all), and Rush's having fun at his comrade's expense. First up, we'll get Diana's thoughts on the end of Stargate and the life that the franchise still has in it.

Yesterday news broke that Stargate Universe will not be continuing on in movie form, and that the SG-1 and Atlantis movies have been permanently mothballed, as well. GateWorld's Darren and David called an emergency session of the GateWorld Podcast to talk about (and commiserate over) the news. Has MGM lost faith in the Stargate franchise, or has the studio decided to let it lay fallow and rejuvenate it in a few years? How long will it take to come back? And what is GateWorld going to do now? We want to hear from you. It's a sad time for Stargate fans, and we want the GateWorld Podcast to be a place where you can share your disappointment and frustrations, but also your fond memories of the past 14 years of Stargate. And what do you think the future may yet hold? Call the Podcast Hotline and leave us a brief message, and we'll continue to air your thoughts in the weeks to come. We also have four episodes of Stargate Universe still to enjoy!

This is one we have been waiting for! "Seizure" saw not just guest appearances from two Stargate Atlantis cast members, plus the amazing Lou Diamond Phillips and Victor Garber, but also some advancements in SGU's overall storyline. Earth and the Lucian Alliance have managed to blow up two naquadria-rich planets in order to dial the 9-chevron address to Destiny ... so what happens when both sides want to use Langara (Jonas Quinn's homeworld) to try it again? This week on the podcast Diana Botsford (Twitter) is back to talk about "Seizure" with David. We'll talk about Rodney McKay's character and his interactions with Destiny's crew, Colonel Telford and his shifting priorities, and the beautiful visuals and colors of the episode. We#ll also discuss the heroes acting in an underhanded way, Rush being trapped in a simulation with Amanda Perry, and whether "Seizure" should really be called an Atlantis "crossover."

Episode 14 of the new season of Stargate Universe saw the return of not just one but two important characters we thought were killed off for good earlier this season. And while Eli, Rush, and Matt dealt with the presence of two extra minds inside Chloe's body, T.J. has her own hands full with a surgery for which she is far under-qualified ... with the lives of both Dale Volker and Ronald Greer hanging in the balance. GateWorld's own Chad Colvin steps in to co-host this week's show! Chad and Darren will talk about Volker's storyline and this episode's use of humor, the return to Ginn and Amanda Perry, and Destiny's A.I. and the presence of digitized minds in the ship's computer (including some speculation on Dr. Franklin and Rush's wife, Gloria). We'll also hear lots of interesting theories about the communication stones and stored consciousnesses from podcast listeners. Join the Conversation!

This episode welcomed a couple of big guest stars in Kathleen Quinlan (Senator Michaels) and French Stewart (Dr. Andrew Covel), forwarded the story of the Lucian Alliance threat, and gave us some good character moments. We'll talk about Wray and Greer being forced to improve their relationship, the attack on Washington, D.C., and Wray and Greer's decision to try and disarm the bomb. We'll also talk about the intentions of Dr. Covel and Senator Michaels, and the possibility that Earth might fund Destiny's mission. And we'll hear what other fans thought about this episode.

We'll also discuss the characters' shifting priorities, their decision to leave the ship (or stay), and whether Rush was lying to himself (literally).

This past week GateWorld was headed into the last days of 2010 planning our last podcast of the year on wrapping up the first half of SGU's sophomore season. Then "the other shoe dropped," and we learned on Thursday that Syfy has canceled Stargate Universe. So instead, in this week's final show of the year GateWorld's editors welcome sci-fi insider Diana Botsford for an important, if a bit sad, discussion. We'll talk about Syfy Channel's programming strategy -- including the move to Tuesdays -- plus the style of SGU, and more. We'll also speculate about the possibility of Stargate movies once MGM emerges from bankruptcy, what we'd like to see from a fourth series, and what else is still ahead for the franchise.

We'll discuss the trip over to a derelict ship, the Ursini and Colonel Telford's return, and a whole lot on the drone ships and the threat they pose. And we'll also talk about the expectations we have for a mid-season finale in particular, and how "Resurgence" measures up.

But wait! Now it is 2010 ... so how does the past decade really compare, within the Stargate universe? We'll talk about the friends we lost, public knowledge of the Stargate, the stability and technology provided by the Aschen, President Kinsey, and more. And we'll ask listeners if you think we are better off now than we were before SG-1 changed the timeline.

In this week's podcast, GateWorld's Darren and David will look at the first year of SGU as a whole and discuss what we thought worked. How did the second half of the season compare to the first half? Character drama, alien threats, separation from home, communication stones, and more -- it's all on the table as we dissect Season One and decide if it lived up to our own expectations. But first, we'll also be talking about the news of writer-producer Robert C. Cooper's departure from Stargate. If you are a fan of Doctor Who, stick around after the show for a bonus discussion!

This one had a really cool premise with lots of great character bits, visual effects, technical explanations about how the Stargate networks work, and plenty of suspenseful hopping through the gates. We'll talk about the escape from the caves, Ronald Greer's backstory, hyperspace vs. F.T.L. travel, Lt. Scott's leadership, and a very surprising ending.

"Human" gave us a compelling look at Dr. Nicholas Rush's past and his inner psyche. It also showed us just how far he's willing to go to crack Destiny's code. We'll talk about Rush's response to reliving his wife's illness, the Lucian Alliance, and a return from Dr. Daniel Jackson (guest star Michael Shanks). We'll also talk about the civilization discovered by the team in the B-story, and speculate a little on how the big cliffhanger might be resolved. And we'll find out what podcast listeners thought of the episode! But first: GateWorld's own Chad Colvin pays us a visit to debrief on the Vancouver Stargate Convention, hosted by Creation Entertainment. While Darren and David had to stay home this year, Chad was hoppin' busy covering all the stage panels, hosting GateWorld's annual dinner (thanks to Propworx for donating the one-of-a-kind give-aways, plus Sci-Fried Band for more goodies), and interviewing nearly a dozen cast members from SG-1, SGA, and SGU.

Justin and Darren discuss the ins and outs of "Faith," last week's new episode of Stargate Universe! We'll talk about T.J.'s "happy" news and what that storyline might hold for the future, the downside of life on Destiny, civilian-military relations, and those super-advanced aliens we have yet to meet. We'll also theorize on planet-making and just what that obelisk is. And we'll hear what other fans thought of "Faith!"

On this week's podcast Darren and David talk about the episode from top to bottom, including the return of the aliens, the coup d'etat on the Destiny, and whether we ought to be rooting for the military or the civilians in this conflict.

Darren and David talk about "Space" in this week's installment of the GateWorld Podcast, from the very alien aliens to Rush's return, from the strength of our shields to Chloe's new-found inquisitiveness. We'll also analyze the way we think the communication stones work, versus how they've been shown in Stargate's past. Tune in to find out why we think "Space" is SGU's best yet.

We've made it to the fourth season of Stargate Atlantis, which saw changes both in front of the camera and behind it.

In Stargate Universe, however, the writers' goal was to avoid the heroic archetypes and create characters who are all varying shades of grey. But can we as viewers still love these characters and engage in their stories? We can relate to their imperfections ... but can we look up to them? In this week's episode of the podcast GateWorld's Darren and David talk about the "anti-heroes" of SGU, and the capacity of such true-to-life characters for real heroism.

In this week's podcast GateWorld's Darren and David will talk about the highs, lows, and important character developments in Season Three -- from "No Man's Land" to "First Strike," complete with showdowns, flashbacks, sisters, and fond farewells. And we'll hear from you!

Joining David (who acts as moderator) are two of our favorite guests from podcasts of yore -- Louisa Robison and Tame Farrar. We'll talk about everything from how much (or how little) the women characters have been fleshed out, men showing emotion, to SGU's lesbian relationship. Is Sam Carter faultless? Are Vala and Sam two sides of the same coin? How do Drs. Fraiser and Keller compare? And does Stargate's all-male writing team need a woman to better capture the voice of women? We'll look at all these questions and more in one of our most challenging discussions in 80 episodes of the GateWorld Podcast.

It's the second in our occasional "Versus" podcasts, following last year's show on Stargate vs. Star Trek. We'll discuss the very different tones of the shows, their approach to storytelling and long-term arcs, and how viewers become invested in those stories. We'll also talk about Stargate Universe as a bit of a departure from the typical Stargate storytelling, closer instead to the dark, dramatic approach of BSG. And of course, we'll hear what you have to say about these two venerable sci-fi franchises!

This year introduced some important characters and storylines (Michael and the hybrids, Colonel Caldwell, the iratus bug retrovirus), strong episodes that delivered both adventure and thoughtful character stories, but also a few stories that didn't do it for us. We'll talk about everything from "The Siege, Part 3″ to "Allies," the departure of Aiden Ford, the addition of Ronon Dex to the team, and more.

GateWorld Misdirected Emotion? Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay -- we love 'em, and we love the actors who bring the characters of Stargate to life. We welcome them into our homes, cheer for them at conventions, and thank them for inspiring us. But just how big a role do the actors play in creating the characters we love? Do we, as fans of Stargate or any television show, not give the writers enough credit for conceiving the character, writing the dialogue, and sending him or her on adventures? That's this week's discussion topic on the podcast, as David and Darren consider the role of the actor, the role of the writer, and what goes into making some of our favorite TV characters who they are.

David and Darren talk about the first season of Stargate Atlantis, which aired on Syfy Channel from 2004 to 2005. How successful was the first spin-off show in its early days? Which episodes stand out the most, and which story elements (and characters) were rightly set aside?

In our first show of the new year, Darren and David are weighing in on the first half of Stargate Universe's premiere season. Now that we've seen 10 episodes, what do we think of the show? Who are the stand-out characters? Is the balance right between character drama and plot-driving action? How well does SGU carry on the Stargate legacy, and how is it doing judged solely on its own merits? We'll also hear from listeners on the topic of SGU So Far, and other topics in Listener Mail.

Darren and David will look back on the last 12 months, from the final bow of Stargate Atlantis in January to the SGU premiere, our trips to the Stargate conventions in Vancouver and Chicago, Comic-Con, plus the long lead-up to the start of the third Stargate series. We'll also get David to weigh-in on "Justice," and hear from some listeners on their personal Stargate high-points of the year.

This week on the podcast we'll talk about "Justice," with Justin Nolan from The 5th Race Podcast sitting in for David (who is on assignment). Darren and Justin will talk about how "Justice" starts to pay off the show's slow build, law on board the Destiny and the ship's growing culture of military versus civilian, and who sat in the Ancient chair ... and why. And how about that cliffhanger ending - with a jaw-dropping conclusion to the first half of the season, yet a very unheroic action for one of our "heroes." We'll also make some predictions about how the story will be resolved when SGU returns next spring. In the Quibbles segment, we'll discuss Eli's discovery of the gun, Franklin's fate, and more. And we'll also find out what listeners think about the mid-season finale.

The amount of sex and its portrayal on Stargate Universe has been a major source of discussion and debate over the last nine weeks. On this week's show the GateWorld guys are joined by FusedFilm.com's Kevin Coll. We'll talk about good use and bad use of sex on television to develop characters and relationships; sexuality and Vanessa James's character; and the use of Ancient communication stones to have sex with someone while occupying another person's body. Do you lose rights to your body when you agree to a body-swap? We'll also hear from listeners on this important subject.

What do we think of gay characters on SGU, and how Camille and Sharon's relationship was portrayed? How about the surprises in store for Lt. Scott and Colonel Young when they returned home to Earth? And just what is that chair on the Destiny all about? There's a lot to discuss in this episode, which turned from more traditional sci-fi back to the drama well. We'll also hear what listeners have to say about "Life," as well as more on last week's stellar episode, "Time." And we'll nitpick a bit about this week's episode in the Quibbles segment.

"Stargate: The Ark of Truth" is the first SG-1 movie, which had to wrap up the Ori storyline in just 90 short minutes. It came with a bigger scope, terrific character moments and plenty of action. Is it a classic SG-1 adventure, or did it try to do too much? Did it present a moral problem that needed to be addressed? And were the Replicators welcome? In this week's podcast we are talking all about the movie, what it accomplished, and where we think it came up short.

Why are so many fans drawn to write and read fan fiction about Stargate and their other favorite shows? This week Darren and David make up for our inadequacies by bringing on a fan fiction expert: Louisa Robison, a graduate student at the University of Alberta and a fellow fan. Her thesis is titled: "Gilgamesh and Enkido, Arthur and Gwenhywfar, Alexander and Hephaistion, Tristan and Isolde, Jack and Daniel: Retelling epic myth through the medium of fan fiction." Our in-depth discussion of the fanfic phenomenon ranges from just who writes it (90 percent women, according to one study), to the use of someone else's creative property, to relationships, gender issues, and homosexuality in the fan fiction world. If fanfic (of any variety) interests you, don't miss this week's show. First up, we'll give you a run-down of the latest news from the world of Stargate, as well as the latest additions to GateWorld.

Previously on the GateWorld Podcast: All the way back in December we talked about "fan entitlement," what we think the writers and producers of shows like Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and Universe owe the loyal viewers who tune in every week, who buy DVDs, and who participate in the online fan community. In this week's show we are reversing that question: What do we as fans owe to the show(s) that we love so much? Should you watch new episodes live rather than on Tivo, or online? Should you spend your money on a DVD, even if you didn't care for that season or movie all that much? Should you watch the newest spin-off show? David and Tame weigh in on all this and more.

Our march through the history of Stargate continues this week on the podcast, as Darren and David talk about Season Eight of "Stargate SG-1!" This season had a lot of favorites and a few ... less-compelling hours of television. It brought back old enemies and created some new ones, culminating in the downfall of major enemies and the wrapping up of many storylines.

GateWorld Should the Stargate Program Be Public? For years the writers of Stargate have drawn upon the S.G.C.'s super-secret nature for story-telling. What would happen if word got out on Earth that the U.S. military was visiting alien planets and making enemies? How would people respond? How would other governments respond? Should the news be announced deliberately? And how would it impact the stories that the franchise tells in the future? The question has led to some interesting stories on Stargate SG-1 in particular, and it's this week's topic for the podcast!
