Can Atlantis Make Z.P.M.s? … and 17 More Stargate Questions

So you’ve always wonderedIf Atlantis depends on Zero Point Modules, shouldn’t there be a place in the city where they are manufactured?

In the first of a brand new video series on GateWorld’s YouTube channel, managing editor Darren Sumner answers fans’ burning questions about the franchise. We’ll cover everything from the current state of Amazon’s purchase of MGM to Stargate’s streaming options, from Z.P.M.s to Destiny, and from Jonas Quinn’s fate to how the Stargate functions.

Here are a few highlights:

  • Could a new Stargate series include cast from the past shows?
  • Is Atlantis still in San Francisco Bay?
  • Which Stargate novels should a newbie start with?
  • How long in between zat blasts before it won’t kill you?
  • Is MGM really going to make a new Stargate animated series?

The complete Q&A video covers 18 questions in total, running a little under 22 minutes. We hope you enjoy it, and join in the conversation:

  • Why don't you guys ever mention the Facebook page "Save Future Stargate Travel" .. We have been all-in, working hard to bring back Stargate since SGU went off the air. We are approx. 20, 000 strong, and we promote Gateworld, and we are always there with what ever is happening in the gate-saving universe. Thanks, Joe Sardone, founder of SFST.

    • That sounds excellent, Joe! Thank you so much for your work there. There are several fan groups across the Internet that have formed since SGU went off the air, and I'm impressed at how many fans have continued to fellowship and work together toward celebrating Stargate and getting a show back on the air. SFST isn't one that I've been familiar with, but I will check it out.

      • Please do check us out, and feel free to post something. We've had Roland Emmerich, and several SG cast members visit and post from time to time, and anybody that is in the gate saving trenches is always welcome. Currently, you have the biggest trench ... lol ... Cheers, and have a great week! J.S.

    • Why would you not reach out privately with your concerns? Posts like these are this is not a good look for you or your community.

      • Actually, I have reached out to Darren in the past, but he gets so many emails, mine must have gotten lost in the mix. Therefore, I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. lol We have friendly open arms for all Gaters on our page, and we are always inviting those who will do what they can to bring back the gate like Darren to be a part of the fun we have. He didn't know about us, but now he does. :) Darren gets it. .. Others do as well. Nuff said on such. ;) J.S.

  • Podrian pensar en poner substitulos al español en el video, tambien somos muchos los fanaticos hispanos que nos encantaria saber

  • I have a proposal for the design of the Ori Stargate. It's based on the appearance of the Ori transport rings. It would also have a rotating section with symbols, but the symbols that were dialed would light up and this section would be aligned with the profile of the Stargate.
