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. "
No you may not.
My sig can beat up your sig.
Hallowed are our new intergalactic overlords.
And, in this *completely new* series, SG-1 finds that they can dial yet another number and travel the multi-verse. To power it, they need to turn the Earth into a giant powersource, but Macgyver figures out how to do it with duct tape and chewing gum.
On arrival they find an empty room where the 42 original member of the Multiversal Council met to populate the universe, but they won't talk to them because they don't know enough yet. They get ticked off and start blowing things up, and are sent back to their home universe which is now set to be destroyed.
The series focuses on how the erstwhile enemies must get together and fight the coomon enemy, all before Macgyver dies of old age.
Have you read my journal today?
Meanwhile, I lost a bet. My money was on either Stargate:Miami or Stargate:NY.
Actually, the Multiversal Council figures that we owe on the Asgard's bar tab. (Those little guys drink like crazy and it wasn't cloning gone wrong that killed them--it was a million years of time-shifted hangovers sent to the future that were finally catching up with them.)
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
Though all of them can be consolidated under one name: Stargate: Hey, All the Planets We Visit Look Like British Columbia. Same for Battlestar Galactica, too.

Even stranger, all those BC planets in various galaxies have the same pseudo-medieval village.

The Asgard as dead fool. The Tau'ri are the Fifth Race now! Humans have phasers not puny railguns and missiles now. Where have you been?
(I thought of this a decade ago; the similar reference somewhere in this discussion is coincidental, though more likely because the whole thing is so geeky the feathers are stuck in my teeth.)
Q.: What's the deal with the "Star Trek" animated series.
A.: One morning, Yeoman Rand (or Spock, if you really must) looked groggily up from the bed; Kirk stepped out of the sonic shower and said, "I just had the strangest dream."
Deep Space 9...was full of short morality plays intermingled with the longer story arks.
Look, if God tells you to build a longer story ark, you build it.
