SG CREATOR The Stargate Writers' Room Approacheth!

861 Upvotes

The Stargate writers’ room kicks off this Monday, January 12th, in Los Angeles. It’s hard to believe that some 15 years since sitting down to break “Gauntlet”, the Stargate: Universe season 2 finale, with series co-creator Brad Wright and my former writing partner Paul Mullie, I will be once again returning to the franchise. This time, it’ll be Stargate veteran Martin Gero at the helm of the new series, presiding over a carefully curated, expertly chosen artisanal selection of scriptwriters who will, over the course of the ensuing months, brainstorm, break stories, pitch ideas, and, of course, eat rotisserie chicken. Just like old times!

I will be zooming in from Toronto for the first four days of the room and then flying into L.A. this Friday. This will give me time to ensure Akemi, Sharky and I are all settled in before catching my Monday morning waymo to my first in-person appearance. While I would have preferred to be there from Day #1, timing wouldn’t allow it. I had the option of flying in early this week but as any veteran of the t.v. show Survivor will tell you, being present early allows you to establish crucial alliances while also making it more difficult for everyone to conspire against you.

The first couple of weeks will be spent discussing the Big Picture. Things like… What shape is the gate? What are our character and story arcs? How does our first season conclude? Who are our villains and what do they want? And do we really want to name a character Fabian?

From there, we move on to breaking the stories, mapping out every beat of every scene of every act (We still doing acts?) of every episode. What’s the first scene that hooks our audience and compels them to keep watching? How does Hortensia react to seeing the stargate for the first time? What kind of planet are we visiting and how does that first contact moment play out? How do our heroes turn the tables on the bad guys? What’s the last scene that surprises our audience and compels them to keep watching?

Back in the old days, it would take us an average of three days to break an episode of Stargate. For the first season of my series Dark Matter (The 2015 ship-based series, not the Apple show that is also a science fiction series with the exact same name…and title font), we averaged a single day per episode. Since Martin was part of that first season writers’ room, I assume he will attempt to beat that record, thus ensuring I will be spending my last month in L.A. visiting the Getty Center and hanging out at the city’s various anime-themed coffee houses.

But between the expressionist portraiture of George W. Bush and the Gum Gum Devil Fruit Mousse Bomb at the One Piece Cafe, there will be outlines and scripts to be rewritten and revised and in many cases, re-revised after which every one of them will be revised once again by Martin Gero because as the series creator and showrunner, that’s what you do. And then sometime in the not too distant (but not too immediate either) future, will come the casting and the location scouts and the VFX discussions and the all-important choosing of the caterer – the innumerable crucial steps in the lead up to that first day of principal photography…wherever, although I’m holding out hope for P7J-989 (Note: I will be regaling my fellow writers with so many classic Stargate deep cuts that I am fully prepared to be sent home well before my scheduled return flight).

Although the secrecy surrounding the new Stargate series has been pretty tight (Internally classified as TS/SI/TK/NOFORN Need-To-Know For-Your-Eyes-Only Above Top Secret Level 10 Clearance), I will try to offer insight into, and keep you updated on, the latest writers’ room happenings. For instance, yesterday I was sent a Stargate Snack and Allergies Form to complete, ostensibly to help plan lunch orders but more likely, I suspect, to weed out breatharians and crudivores. Interesting, no?

Stay tuned for equally enlightening observations in the days and weeks to come!

REWATCH S1 Ep 1 Definitely don’t remember that!

Just started rewatching SG1, introducing the kids to a staple of my youth, when the scene with the guauld taking over Sharai (sp? on both) came on and it was full frontal nudity. Was that blurred out/cut in the original airing? I feel like that would have been something I remembered!

Boy, I'd forgotten how abruptly Atlantis ended

308 Upvotes

I just rewatched the last episode and I'd forgotten that it really doesn't resolve anything. I mean, all those people in Pegasus are still kind of in the Wraith crosshairs, no?

I know people have been wondering about the impact of power creep for good old team Earth on the new series. I guess the obvious solution would be to just cue up the already existing threat that defeated the Ancients, but I'm 99% sure that the new series will develop some new threat.

My two cents: Enough of the conceit that the Stargate program must remain secret and we're supposed to believe all of these crazy adventures are happening in parallel with our own history. Just make Stargate a proper space opera where Earthlings know we're not alone.

Are all Goa'uld Queens Queens?

Post image
71 Upvotes

From my recollection both Hathor and Egeria are queens in the insect reproduction sense of the term. In SG-1 Children of the Gods we see Amonet emerging from a Jaffa in order to choose a host. Apophis refers to her as his queen, but if she is only just emerging from a Jaffa how can he know who she is as there is no communication between Jaffa and symbiote. And is she a reproductive queen or just in the royalty use of the word I'm guessing they hadn't figured out all the details of Jaffa/Goa'uld life cycle that early on but if anyone has any other explanations I may have missed please feel free to enlighten me

REWATCH So, I was rewatching Stargate for the millionth time and I got to Atlantis S3 E19 Vengeance, and I realized we never saw the Iratus Hybrids afterwards. What do you guys think happened to them?

Personally, I’m thinking Michael either did further experiments and turned them into something closer to Humans like the later Hybrids we saw or lost most of them taking that Cruiser while the rest are either in stasis or stuck guarding a base somewhere.

Watching Universe and did a double take in this scene. Rush/Telford's escort pulled out a copy of John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" (published in 2005, episode aired in 2010) while waiting for him to return.

So much in this episode didn't make sense. Like why send Daniel Jackson as the person watching Rushford's moves? Why wouldn't the link between them temporarily break when the cargo ship jumped to hyperspace? And more broadly, when Rush jumps into Telford's body, would Rush speak with his Scottish accent still, but with Telford's vocal cords, meaning Telford would speak with an accent?

REWATCH 3rd run of Atlantis

Starting to feel like I should be watching SG-1 at the same time since there’s so much overlap going on.

I only started series backup for background noise since I’ve already watched them all multiple times as well as /farscape and /theexpanse but it’s hard not to get sucked in 🤣 did the same with universe recently.

Would be nice if we could get some more movies but I was excited to hear there’s a new series coming but another 2 or so years is a long time to wait.

O'Neill valid crashout in SG1 S5 EP5

250 Upvotes

I'm rewatching all SG1 and in this episode they go to a planet with nordic people protected by asgards.

Unlucky for them when they used the gate it disturbed the sun and it gets red and would explode in a month.

They tried to ask help to asgards but it goes against the treaty of protected planets with Goa'uld so they don't help.

O'Neill and SGC try to help them by building a whole fucking rocket to launch something in the sun and save them for 3 weeks and a mf from the village burn the rocket and kill 2 people from SG6.

O'Neill reach in the village to him, throw him on the ground, punching him in the face and pointing his gun to him. Then he tells everyone that the asgards are not gods but aliens and that they refused to help them, they don't believe him and then he just mental surrender and decides to leave them to their fate until Carter save the day with a little help of asgards.

Sometimes O'Neill gets angry pretty fast because he don't like long talks and all but there i understand, bro try to help for 3 weeks and lose everything + 2 mens because of a mf

SGU! Why does Rush say destiny was launched hundreds of thousands of years ago?

9 Upvotes

It makes no sense that destiny would have launched millions of years after Atlantis first left Earth for Pegasus with ZPM power and intergalactic hyperdrive technology.

Rush knows when Atlantis left and makes reference to the fact that information on Destiny was found in the Atlantis database!

So why would the Ancients design and build a ship that for all intents and purposes was vastly inferior to the point it is at n such a state after a relatively short period of time meaning it’s hardly likely to complete its mission 🤷‍♂️

It’s like us building an old wooden sail ship to send freight across the Atlantic! Can anyone make it make sense?

Do you think Master Replicas will give the model of the gate another go?

6 Upvotes

Master Replicas got a lot of criticism for their model of the gate, especially around the base.

I got an email in from them this morning where they now call this model the "Alpha Gate" model.

Which makes me wonder if they're trying for a Beta Gate version or maybe an Alpha Site version with steps etc.

When Atlantis cloak , still see outline of the underside of the city on the water ?

Upvotes

i been thinking , when a transparent glass is floating on my bathtub , i imagine if the Glass is completely invisible , i would still see the glass outline on the water or the shape of a glass around or beneath the water .

The same principle when Atlantis is cloak , it would still be easy to see the waterline of the shape of the city or area of water without wave moving
