GateWorld Podcast: Stargate’s End?

View Comments

• I blame Comcast / NBC it looks like the are doing to SCIFI what they did to tech tv /g4.

  I just say HANDS off CSN Chicago or the team may just pull out!

  Also I Hope you lose the NHL to fox or ESPN.

  Also 2010 Olympics just said that NBC should never have them again.

• I never really got into Universe much... And Stargate Sg1 pretty much ran it's course... but I hope I speak for all the fans when I say... Please, don't leave the pegasus galaxy like that.

• I still think SCIFI should continue SGU with a mini series to finish off it's story instead oF it ending into a cliff hanger. Which will be very DISSAPOINTING! I have loved SGU's second season and was hoping for a Third!

  I also think a Fourth Series of Stargate would be ideal for the franchise's future. I have been watching Stargate since (SG1) first came out when I was young and, I have been a fan of Stargate ever since. I've also enjoyed all of the three stargate's series.

  I would love to see how the Fourth Series of Stargate will turn out to be? And I am hoping that the franchise will NEVER END BECAUSE; I WANT TO WATCH MORE STARGATES!!!!!!!!!!

• Here's how I see it: Brad Wright decided to terminate Atlantis because it wasn't his baby. He wanted to build a new Stargate series and make it more like Battlestar Galactica. He also re-wrote "Children of the Gods" to suit his Dieney-esque vision for it to make it more "family friendly". Who asked for this? Not the fans. When the Stargate fans complained about terminating Atlantis, he ignored them. When fans complained about the slow pace of Universe, he ignored them. He thought he'd get "new" fans. He was wrong. His ego couldn't handle the rejection, even though it wasn't universal. Finally, SyFy had to cancel Universe because the ratings just weren't there. I'm sure Brad blames the fans. So now, he's going to take his ball and go home. He's the one who decided not to pursue Stargate, no one else.

  What can we, as fans, do? I recommend we start an e-mail and letter writing campaign to MGM. Tell them that they have fans that are still interested in Stargate but that it should be under different leadership. Perhaps Glassner, Greenburg, and Richard Dean Anderson would like to get involved in Staragte again. They'd certainly have my vote.

• Guys seriously, how is a Star Trek example a good thing? How is a reboot, alternate timeline, screw everything, blow up important planet, screw fans, etc. a good example? I'm sorry but Stargate means everything that was, behind and in front of camera, not something recreated out of nothing, only with same name a same spinning ring...

• Guys, while I still wish they had given SGA that final season and introduced SGU later, honestly what else is there to say except that this is a very sad day.

• we can say no! no we are not gonna stand for this! saying no is better than nothing.

• who would have thought robert carlyle would star in a stargate show?? i still cant believe it.

• oh and i dont know how you guys can talk about future stargate tv, no sane person would greenlight another one. its gonna leap back into feature movies, ones that have nothing to do with the tv shows.

• I don't get how some fans can say that the new movie screwed the fans? I didn't get that feeling at all, and I grew up watching TNG and have watched EVERY episode of EVERY Star Trek that has aired since then (and seen TOS of course). I felt that they approached it with nothing but respect by having Leonard Nimoy in there and saying "this is all new but your universe still exists" and as for blowing up Vulcan, I thought that was a great creative decision. They had to do something to say that this was more than just a prequel and NOBODY would have predicted that Vulcan would get blown up. And its not like the Vulcans can't find a new planet.

  That being said, i do agree with Yxelione that I don't wanta reboot of Stargate. Part of the fun of the spin-off series of Stargate has been the connection to past lore and being able to bring in new characters. If someone can come in and craft a series as a sort of "soft reboot" that somehow is crafted for a new audience but that existing fans can enjoy I'm all for that. I also hope MGM doesn't decide to go the movie route as I've always seen Stargate as a TV franchise (even though it started as a movie) - Stargate works Waaaaay better in a weekly format (Star Trek does too but that it also works as a movie franchise, sometimes).
