New Stargate Series In the Works

Skythe writes "Gateworld reports that an exclusive, third Stargate series is in the works: 'The new series is in the concept phase, and is being actively worked on by the Vancouver creatives behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. No concept for the show has yet been revealed.' Gateworld also reports despite the cancellation of SG-1, the series is likely for a 2007 debut. I wonder if the direct-to-dvd movies will any influence on the new series, and what the concept behind the show will be?"

    Your TV auto translates for you the spoke parts.

    in Stargate SG1 most of the races speaks either goul'd or ancient Egyptian. problems with translations pop up quite frequently.
    in Atlantis most races speak a variation of Ancient, with at least 6 different written versions.

  18. You really have to ask? by supabeast! · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and what the concept behind the show will be?

    I'm guessing it will involve a bunch of Air Force nerds who travel through a magic gate to other planets which all oddly resemble either California or British Coloumbia, and once there, do whatever the Star Trek crew did in whatever episode of Star Trek the script for this particular episode of the new Stargate was lifted from. And they'll throw in a popular nerd or two from some other nerdy show to ensure that nerds bother to watch.

  19. Gate == TARDIS ? by sadler121 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the gate acts like the TARDIS, and emits a telepathic field that automatically translates the native language into the native language of the traveler and vic versa.

    Of course, the gate can only translate verbal language and not written language like the TARDIS. That is a result of the Ancients not being as technologically advanced as the Time Lords.

    That being said, I think the Doctor needs to get to the Pegasus Galaxy asap. They seem to have ZPM's and sense the Eye of Harmony doesn't work anymore (hence why the Doctor has to refuel the TARDIS from time to time) it could turn out to be useful. At the very least, he won't have to make continuous trips to Cardiff.

    Hmmm, I wonder which provides more energy, an artificial black hole, or Zero Point Energy...
