bobkatt013 posted:Yes but it will be a reboot or using the props from the movie. I mean the show that started with SG1 and went to Universe is dead. I don't think it'd be such an issue for Stargate as Trek - sure, we'll never see Atlantis or Destiny* again, but all they really need to make an SG-1 follow up is some military gear, a new Gate room, and some cheap actors in a forest somewhere. It'd be quite easy to just say they'd unlocked a new galaxy's gate network and go from there while occasionally referencing old stuff. *aside from the bits David Hewlitt actually saved, not sure how much that was.

What about a, y'know, gate? Or is that sitting on ice somewhere?

Also, is that SGC set used for a bunch of movies or something? Because either they did a great job of making the one used in SG1 look just like the one in the movie, or they used the exact same set.

The stargate prop itself is the only thing which was used in the movie and show, afaik. The sets are all different. If MGM want to start up the franchise again then sets are pretty inconsequential. IIRC the Universe sets cost around $2million, which wasn't a huge portion of the total budget of a 40 episode show.

As pointed out before, Ben was 40 when Farscape ended. That was TEN YEARS AGO. (PKW was later). Let's all let that sink in for a minute.

IIRC they only thing hat was reused really was the gate, which was left out in the elements for a while. They ended up having to restore it and I believe they fixed/replaced the internals because the gate behaves differently between the movie and SG-1.

IIRC there were two gates that were used for the show. The hero gate that could spin and all that and never left the SGC set, this one was custom built for the series. Then they had a much simpler gate that they used for going out on locations that would stand in for P3X-Who gives a crap, this one was recycled from the original movie.

After many months I've finally finished watching SG-1 and Atlantis all the way through. Fantastic stuff. I never saw any of Universe when it aired although I've read a good bit about how uneven it is through this thread. Now halfway through with the first season. I remember reading all these awful comments about the communication stones and kept thinking to myself, "How bad could they actually be?" Then I got to the episode "Earth."  I can't be the only one disturbed by how willing these people's significant others are with having sexy times with strangers' bodies. I really like Colonel Young's character except for the whole "How dare you speak to my wife after I used your body to have sex with her!" flip-out. Then using other people's bodies to get in fights... The concept of the series is amazing, but dear god, this whole communication stone thing is worse than I ever imagined! There's plenty of drama on a spaceship stuck on autopilot with dwindling resources. All this Earth drama seems completely unnecessary at this point.

Exactly. Watched episode 11 where they encounter an alien space ship and that was a wonderful use of the stones. Using the stones for short range communication in unfamiliar terrain or hostile territory? Great usage. Using the stones to go to a club and get drunk in someone else's body? Disturbing. Now if this were a comedy, I can see huge potential in the stones.  "Why did I wake up in the hospital?" "Eli ate a whole bowl of peanuts with your body." "But I'm allergic to peanuts!" "Indeed."

So after binging through the good Star Trek series and BSG, then getting burnt out on the general awfulness of Voyager, I decided to give the other big "Star" franchise a try. My first impression of the SG-1 pilot: "Did this show have the same casting director as The X Files?" eta: There's sure an awful lot of chauvinism towards Carter for a show produced and set in the '90s.

My first impression of the SG-1 pilot: "Did this show have the same casting director as The X Files?" Grin and bear it for the first few eps. Amanda Tapping called them on it and the "reproductive organs" line becomes a minor running gag to make fun of how bad they were early on.

Got to Prometheus Unbound on my rewatch, god drat I can't believe how much I missed Claudia Black. Her and Michael Shanks were such a fun pair to watch.  Aaaaaaaand now I'm getting an urge to rewatch Farscape too. I wish she did more stuff, she's criminally underused.

I was actually referring to that episode in SG-U where characters from Atlantis show up. Specifically the bit where McKay starts freaking out a little bit because he thinks whoever he swapped bodies with was eating citrus fruit while in his body.

After my SG-1 and Atlantis rewatch bingfest, I decided to give SGU another shot. I have to say, the body swap sex scene was pretty awkward and cringe inducing... Are there anymore of those I should be aware of?

Hahah, somehow I had missed a bunch of episode 1 of SGU when I started watching. I went back last night to rewatch and enjoy seeing the characters again now that I know the full story.  Oh god its 3am and I'm up to episode four, what is going on here? I drat near forgot to breathe. What a cool space sci-fi show. I'll binge through it again some other time but it won't be hard to get sucked back in next time I watch.

If MGM wanted it to happen then setbuilding and actor availability are workable problems. All I would hope is that SyFy are kept twenty million miles from any new production.
