Third Stargate TV Series Named
GateWorld has a story about the new Stargate series. "The working title of the third 'Stargate' television series is 'Stargate Universe', executive producer Robert C. Cooper told GateWorld. The show currently exists in the form of a one-page treatment of the story and characters. Cooper and executive producer Brad Wright will start writing the pilot after shooting on the two 'Stargate SG-1' movies finishes in June. Meanwhile, new episodes of 'SG-1' and 'Atlantis' start airing April 13 in the U.S., on The SCI FI Channel. "
Stargate jumped the shark years ago and beating a dead horse makes for bad TV, as atlantis and recent SG1 seasons have proven.
If I had any mod points, and hadn't commented in this discussion, I'd bury your flamebaiting, trollish, offtopic comment.
If you don't care, don't comment.
If you're commenting because, in some fashion, it makes you feel about yourself, you're pathetic. Cut down on your own pork life.
People have hobbies and interests. Just because this apparently isn't one of yours, doesn't give you the right, nor reason, to talk down on those who do enjoy it.
And finally, in case you somehow missed it, you're on Slashdot: News for Nerds. I'm a geek and a nerd. I also get out for hikes with my dog, and hit the fitness center at my apartment complex. Somehow I fail to see where Stargate news is somehow incongruous with having an otherwise active life.
I am, therefore you think.
...for Stargate III - The Search for More Money.
Star gate is such mind sucking 10-year-old-boy drivel. It does not rise above the level of say "Speed racer" in terms of either sci- or fi-. It's acting is abominable. (don't get me wrong--I like speed racer in its context. But speed racer does not aspire to be what it is not).
Why make more of this dog food, composed of the rendered remains of dead sci fi generes. How about something fresh like the first two seasons of Battle star galactica, which really does have both Sci and Fi and actually good acting?
Hell even a remake of Barbarella would have more redeedming value that the SG tripe.
SG is a lot like that silly show about the submarine (remember the flying sub) from the early 70s.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
