Thank you Joe for trying to save the show.
I get why people want to know the Fate of the Destiny, but honestly? Screw it. SGU was so bad, i only want a 2 Minute Mini-Episode that clears that Story-line up and then a Big 'The End' floating though Space. Just that.
The Wraith-Storyline meanwhile actually is Important, actually needs to be Finished, and what-not-else could be said about it.
The Wraith-Storyline needs to be finished, and no one can finish it right with less than 2 Movies or 2 Seasons.
We also can't possibly get some entirely new Stargate in the Future and the Wraith-Storyline is just finished in ONE SENTENCE "Oh, yeah, remember the Wraith and how we defeated them?" and that's it... That would be terrible.
Just a note, it's 2018... AND I STILL WANT IT!
me too
Me 3
4
now it is 2020 and i still want sga
Me 6th.
I wish Flanigan had bought the franchise.
We too :/
Even just leasing the franchise as he said would've been amazing. We would still have had something!
Me too
Me too!
Yea it's great an actual fan of the series wanted to do that
People didn't hate SGU because it was different from SG-1 and Atlantis, they hated it because it tried so hard to be BSG.
doesn't matter what it tried to be SGfU sucked
couldn,t agree more
I think it got really good towards the end and could have gone on to be amazing.
@@Zero11s only when held up against Sg1 and Atlantis taken as a stand alone show only peripherally connected to them it was a decent show that ended way to soon
i mean only 2 seasons the second not even being a full one problem now is that the actors on Sg1 and Atlantis are all too old to play the parts now and make it believable although i didn't understand why they didn't use the ori supergate as a power source for dialing the gate to send supplies
.
Man I miss SG1 and Atlantis....
It's on Hulu man. ALL OF THEM!!!
Me too. :(
i never watched 8th-10th season fo sG1 :/
see wagasworld
and register
I just finished SGA and I was looking for answers as to why the hell it ended like that. The fact that this was cancelled and Joe tried to save the series and was turned away is just plain killing me right now. This is a complete injustice to the fantastic writers, cast, and production team of SGA. Hollywood has a terrible trend of killing great shows to cash in for a 'BIG MOVIE' which is usually terribly put together and is frankly insulting to the entire fanbase.
For what it's worth, the series was amazing and original with such fantastic, talented actors and writers. I hope the best turns out for all of you and thank you for the fantastic series you gave us!
Oh my god yes!! :'D Thank you for telling me about this!!
You literally just described what happened to the Star Trek franchise lmao I can't wait until the Star Wars franchise goes to shit and I'm sat telling me mates "now you know my pain" lol
This is so great, thank you for posting!
at least the new star trek movies arent trash and work. SW is destroyed.
I know that I'm alone and studios don't give a shit about one consumer but this is practically why I am "boycotting" Hollywood. I am simply refusing to pay for anything that greedy morons produce. (Not to say that the quality of the movies they release is swiftly deteriorating too).
I much rather watch shows which have talented and passionate producers, writers, cast and crew. People working on Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Sherlock, Black Mirror, Westworld and the likes actually love what they are doing, have long-term plans and perspective and it is important to them to give fans what they want and do justice to their creations. To Hollywood we are just statistics.
Dammit I miss StarGate SG-1 and SGA..damn them for cancelling them!!
i am still sad
SG-1 my favorite. But once Richard left... i just strugled to like it. That woman that came in sob her voice so damn annoying i was allways hoping that this episode would be the one she got killed off......... The guy did ok. but i mean who can realy replace Richard.... Atlantis after season 1 i realy loved it too. and as it was rolling they shut it down.... realy shocked me how they did that.
Joe is 100% right about everything he said. And really the saddest part is that's its been too long to go back to where it got left. Best case scenario would be a jump cut forward ten years with the existence of the stargate common knowledge and explore what would come of that. It would be a great story. No one wants to go back to Emmerich's vision except Emmerich.
stargate:. Trails
Make a whole new series with previous cast filling in key spots, earth has a series of shipyards, and a planetary alliance with over thirty world's an sixteen alien race elements including some wraith, dark Asgard cloners, and the nox, furlings, those aliens that cohabit human world's etc etc...
Earth has fifteen city ships built from scratch and a fleet of over a hundred x307s, and three advanced colonies acting as factories useing replicaters modified to mold and shape the cores of the ships as well as the hull, bam perfect setup leading to a new series with a huge startrekish feel as they explore and encounter more worlds and history etc
Or take it centuries into the future where Earth has colonised the galaxy and has huge fleets.
The fans of the movie would prefer going back to it than the series.
You just nailed a screenplay there buddy, expand it, and pitch the idea to a network somplace.
Its never too late
I'm only learning this now, in 2015, years later. I'm teary. Bless him for trying. Damn.
Lol and I´m learning it now yet 2 years later and feel the same :D except now there is Stargate Origins; so a little bit of new Stargate nonetheless :D
The recent revival of the x-files gives me hope that someone will try and copy them and do a time jump of stargate atlantis and continue the show for at least one more season or do another spin off with all the creators. or at least one more movie
Only learning about this in 2018, and I'm honestly crying writing this. Now I can't get myself to finish season 5 because I can't bear to see the end.
I'm having the same experience, in September of 2018.
I remember reading this somewhere before, but I am watching this in January 2019. Damn!
Just a note, it’s 2019....I STILL WANT THIS !
So do I... we need it.
Same!
July 2022
I was not a huge of SGU. I wish they would've given the movie route a try. Wow, this really shows Joe's commitment to the fans
+*Beardsley McBeard*
You weren't a huge? Really? A huge what?
movies are a bad idea. you can't write a good story with a movie.
but a tv show you can make not only a good story but good character development.
besides movies nowadays suck. and they often end the franchise in a horrific look.
and it becomes a completely dead topic because some morons thought it was a good idea.
Sg1 is all about missions and story line! Not whos banging who and character drama!
Thank you Joe & Phoenix Interactive. Had no idea Joe had such dedication to find a way to keep SGA alive using his knowledge of the business & the fan base. We distraught fans everywhere miss him & SGA terribly. Five years wasn't nearly enough time. Networks don't seem to be airing it anymore, what a shame. Hubby & I are thankful we bought the DVDs...rewatch heaven!
Hulu has every episode of all 3 shows.
+Bruce Ferguson I just re-binge watched all 95 episodes last week it was quite the ride again. Thinking of making it a every other year type thing.
+Tensolin01 I could get on board with that.
I like the Dr. Who formula....it seems to go on indefinitely & never gets old because they change characters every couple of years, new worlds, old & new characters coming & going, no shortage of plot twists & turns. Can you imagine all 3 SG shows doing that? We would still be watching new SG shows today, with all of our favorite characters coming & going, new ones added & so on. Sigh, we can dream :o)
I have all the SG1 & SGA DVD's. I watched SGU and I really wanted to like it. They even got Richard Dean Anderson for some guest shots. The first 10 episodes sucked. Even the "younger fan base" like by son. Watched the first 6 episodes and that was it. He wanted the other 2 back. I was really unhappy with the end of SGA. They just left us hanging. At least with SG1we got the Ark of Truth to end it. I think Amanda, Chris and Michael were really to leave after 10 years. But I have not heard them say it. But when I get sick of the TV I watch my DVD's. With the election that's been a lot.
I had no idea Joe was so close to doing this huge service for us fans. What a hero.
So sad that the people in control of Stargate held it hostage, doing nothing with it while the potential to continue through Joe withered away (and is now fully dead).
giving up Stargate Atlantis is just not making sense.
@@merlinthegray SGU had great promise as a different take on the franchise with some incredible moments, that season 2 ending was brilliant imo, buuuut it wasn't smart to nuke the other series to fuel it.
SGU was just too different to retain enough of the core fanbase to succeed on its own.
It should have been left to grow its own fandom alongside the pre-existing shows or at the very least focused on AFTER the others concluded naturally.
I loved all three series, for they were each brilliant in their own rights. It kills me especially that SGU was left to die because I feel that if it was allowed to continue past the second season, it would've gone places that would shut up those saying that the show was unoriginal. This video, even if it is a little sad, made me feel a little hopeful for the franchise. Joe Flanigan is a hero for having attempted to revive a franchise, and is one of the only sensible people up there that know what the fans really want.
It's funny how actors like him get it. They are the ones actively working on the show and interacting with the fan base at conventions and on social media.
SGU sucked dude, it killed the franchise
@@journey95far49 MGM crashing and Syfy putting SGU in the "death slot" killed the franchise.
Ending SG1 and SGA was monumentally stupid but SGU was gaining significant views as the second season went on and growing.
Unfortunately TV and Movie execs never learn that accountants are the worst people to ask advice from in media.
I bet if he did somehow get into talks and was able to get Stargate going again a kickstarter could make millions
Billions
True I am in the middle of an SG series marathon.
"...I put a little team together..." I lit up like a switch board he's still got it!
Wow! Props to Joe for trying to step up and work for the fans.
SGU...sexier audience?!!??? SGA had it all for a diverse audience, with JOE, Jason and Rachelle drawing in the female and male fans with their sexy good looks and David doing the science techno speak for the "geeks"!
SGU did not have the characterizations that inspired me to watch beyond the first episode. It was dull and drab compared to SGA!
Apparently many Stargate fans felt the same, as the franchise fell shortly after..Too bad they didn't ask the fans what we wanted!! I still feel cheated for the lame ending of SGA!! I sure wish JOE had gotten the rights to continue! Since the new movie does not deal with any of the series, I doubt I will be too excited to see it come to fruition!!
Lin Bell Honestly I believe more people were put off bye SGA being killed than thinking SGU was bad. Honestly, it wasn't a bad show. Different certainly, but not a bad kind of different. And for all the flak people give SGU for killing the franchise, only one to blame there is the damned Sci-I mean "Syfy" channel. Put any show, even a good one in the death slot, and it'll die.
I think a reason people hated SGU was because it didn't feel like stargate.
I agree the characters were rubbish. The only one with any substance was Rush and he was the only reason I watched it. Mind you, I can't help but like Robert Carlisle in everything anyway xD
All things have to come to an end at some point. Part of me wishes they had seen the end before they were forced to. Going out on a high is a much more dignified and graceful way to go and offers a satisfying conclusion instead of scrabbling around for something.
SG1 got cancelled but they had enough interest, budget and rights to finish off the series - and it took three movies!
And I still don't know if Daniel and Vala got together...
SG-1 didn't have 3 movies?
Yes Stargate generated three movies. The Original Stargate, from which SG1 was born. SG1 was cancelled before finishing up the story but it had generated enough interest and they had enough money to make two movies. The first movie after series 10 is Continuum during which they deal with the last System Lord Ba'al thereby finishing the Goa'uld storyline. The next is the Ark of Truth, thereby finishing the Ori storyline.
MGM ran into difficulties resulting in Atantis being stopped abruptly. They had plans for a season 6 before the show was cancelled. Then Flannigan tried to lease SGA as everyone involved was still extremely interested however I believe MGM was heading for bankruptcy and despite tentative agreements when high level positions were changed the talks fell through.
2019 and we still want it
I really hope he keeps pursuing his plans. Right at this time, where TV or network shows are so popular and people are so into binge watching, it would be great to have Stargate back on the "small" screen. Especially Atlantis. It really is/was my favourite show.
It was one of my favorite shows too! I just got all five seasons so I could binge watch it.
SGA really deserves more seasons than it got, that rushed crappy "ending" to the series did not do it justice, at all. To this day I still hope for a SGA revival, one of the best TV shows I ever watched.
I really miss Atlantis. So much. I hope one day it makes its way back, with all the other reboots that have been happening lately.
Kudos to joe for trying to keep the show going !! I miss SGA it is literally my fav show of all time
personally i hated SGU and i hated the way they ended Atlantis. it was way do sudden and seemed a bit cheap. Atlantis is still my favorite though.
Shitty Syfy cancelled SGU when it's starting to be good. I hate them for that. With Atlantis I agree with you.
Johny Joe
haha trust them to bin it just as it gets good
dylan winwood Creating the show immediately after cancelling Atlantis certainly didn't help Universe get off the ground.. If it had been a couple years after Atlantis, it may have survived... Unless put in the death slot again... Sodding "Syffwee" channel. I've disowned them since.
You think the end to Atlantis was bad? Have you seen Dexter? :P That was waaaaay worse.
I think I would have liked SGU a lot more if it took place along side a continuing SGA. Give them the ability to try something new with Stargate, maybe getting new viewers into the franchise. While still rewarding the loyalty of the pre-existing fan base with a continuation of SGA.
Still, although I got into SGU a little more towards the end of the second season I couldn't help but to think they were just trying to be a BSG rip off, and not doing a very good job of it.
Here we are in 2020... Would love the show to come back...
I loved Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I could not get into Stargate Universe. I think the difference was the first two had a good mix of humor and serious drama. Stargate Universe just seemed totally dark. I'm sorry Flanigan did not get permission to continue the Franchise. But, this problem with Hollywood killing successful franchises with poor management is nothing new and is continuing (The Last Jedi).
it was SGfU
I agree 100% but SGU is a great show. It is supposed to be dark, depressing, gritty as life would be stuck on a extremely ancient ship, barely surviving partially across the universe. as an agnostic athiest myself, I think what they did with the show is actually quite interesting (Destinys' real mission "to find God" or proof of Intelligent life at the time of the big bang) based on the signal found in the background radiation, by the Ancient Ancients I guess you could call them, apart from the normal ancients who have ascended and what not..I would love to see where the show goes becasue there is also what they think are the super poweful aliens who created that one planet "Eden" and also basically teleported all the dead from there to the next Galaxy destiny was in.. I like shows/movies that try and bridge the gap between Science and Religion, SG1 and SGA are both guilty of doing so but still differently than sgu. Battlestar Galactia is also a good one for that stuff aswell.
The problem with SGU is exactly that, the lack of humor and lightheartedness. Other than that it's great for what it is, but it doesn't really feel like Stargate is supposed to feel.
SGU was dark past the point of credibility. The characters were mostly just awful human beings. The later episodes got better in this respect, but it was sort of strange how everyone became a slightly or much better person, largely without a story explanation. But hey, I was just glad it got better.
Also, the use of the stones always struck me as odd. The stones were used primarily for visiting loved ones, and sometimes important information was exchanged. It's weird to me that they didn't have planned and organized training and skill building. That they didn't have MANDATORY counselling after they'd been stuck on the ship for weeks. When you're dealing with a limited amount of people, in a highly dangerous situation, you NEED skill redundancy. Not to mention, some crew seemed to have zero useful skills, so give them some.
SGU is a bad joke. It should have never happened. The whole series is based on giant plothole and WTF writing.
The three Ha'tak in the first episode should have been one-shot by Asgard beam weapon. The rest of the stories should never have happened.
Do you realize what Lucian Alliance is? Just an underworld mafia. They lived in hiding under Goa'uld rule. They were drug dealers, assassins, etc. It was just an organized crime. All the sudden they scavenged more Ha'tak than most system lords had. And they were able to upgraded Ha'tak to beyond Ori motherships??? Even Ori motherships fell to Asgard weapons within a few shots.
It was beyond dumb to pick a mafia to become the enemy of planet earth... out of so many established cooler enemies such as remaining Goa'uld, Wraith, Replicators, Asen, and a few other "bad" aliens they have encountered in the previous series. It was dumber to give them more Ha'tak than Goa'uld system lords had, and to "upgrade" them with beyond Ascention knowledge the Ori had.
The whole show did not make sense. And it should have never take place.
I love all 3 shows wish they had all run on longer :(
best show/shows there's ever been. I really hope something happens with it, otherwise it means putting one of the best things about my childood finally to rest :(
+Ben Williams Atlantis is getting a continuation as comic series. What's best is, that the authors of the comis are fans of the show and they plan to stick to canon and not like that god awful Legacy series.
I really wish they could reboot all 3 shows, maybe even combine them all into 1.
With Atlantis back on Earth, they could somehow use it to catch up to the Destiny and help them out.
Bruce Ferguson SG-1 really ran its course... I'm personally happy where it ended. Ending SGA when they did was a crime.
SGU needed a good finish.
Bruce Ferguson I haven't got around to watching it yet. Been put off by all of the bad things people say about it. Need to give it a shot though.
TheVinster17 Stargate Universe got better with its second and last season.
TheVinster17 it was slow in the beginning, different than what we were used to, but it got really good.
Exactly what happened. They pissed off the old fans and SGU didn't have a big enough audience. I'm incredibly grateful that we has such a dedicated and passionate cast, especially in Joe. The showrunners let us down but they never did.
FWIW: I actually ENJOYED *Stargate: Universe* after I started watching it.
That said, *Stargate: Atlantis* SHOULD HAVE continued for at least one more year.
IMHO, the SYFY CHANNEL should have THIS motto: *WE WILL NOT NOT CANCEL ANY TV SHOW BEFORE ITS TIME*
'Nuff said....
RocKiteman _ 2001 I always wonder what the higher ups ay SyFy was thinking when managing their shows. For a network that aims to present scifi genre entertainment, they sure don't commit for a lot of their great scifi shows in recent years were axed way too soon
If there's amoto syfy should have it would be "We will not cancel anything that people actually enjoy watching just to make crappy shows with terrible effects" or maybe just the last part.
What do you want from a channel that changed their name from Scifi to syfy. I think many longtime watchers of the scifi channel were like, "Aaahhhh crap, this is a gonna be bad." You know,you got that twisted gut feeling, like a stereo typical jock just got appointed to judge the science fair. Comcast finally bought out NBC/Universal in 2011 that alone should explain alot. SGA was cancelled in 2009 I don't know how long negotiations last but I do know when people are desperate they do stupid stuff. Too bad really, I just saw/binge watched SGA for the first time on amazon. I loved it.
@@cynthiafarris1051 It's funny that when SGA started they were the cool young kids to SG1, and when it ended they were just the brother show that is also great, meanwhile Universe kinda turned into a mess pretty quickly *cough* Battlestar galactica *cough*
@@manuelaparcedo417 It's kinda sad isn't it? It's like the company completely missed out on that one chance (you know the one that got away) of something that could've been great and with the right people at the helm, as long lasting as star trek.
and now im depressed. thanks.
nice to hear that he's passionate about the show, hopefully if they do anything new (other than origins) he'll be involved at some part, whether its on or off screen, still got my fingers crossed
"Younger, sexier audience" And they failed miserably doing that. No one wanted a Stargate soap opera. Thing is Stargate isn't a series that will survive with a reboot. There is just too much good series there. Same reasons Star Trek will never survive on a reboot or a soap opera format.
Funny you say Stargate wouldnt survive on a reboot, when STOS didnt survive on its first run and got cancelled :p
Discovery, meh
it would only work if they stick with what the fans loved.
but once they try to appeal to a new audience that does not really care.
then you run into something that gives you STD. and you just want to kill the writer who wrote it. and ruins the vision of gene Roddenberry's star trek series.
so i do believe it can work. but you must approach it from an already loved formula of the fans.
instead of reinventing the wheel again and again.
I think it's too late. Look at the hot garbage that was "Stargate: Origins". Quite literally NOBODY wanted to see a young Catherine Langford running around with a bunch of whiny millennials pissing on Stargate continuity in 1930s Egypt. Yet that's what they decided to make after all these years, and why? Because it ticked all the self-serving Hollywood luvvie boxes just like how Joe was talking about in the video.
You know what this proves? That TV execs really are a bunch of delusional idiots. Sexier, younger audience led to SGU which made every episode a soap opera and lead to completely random plot developments to make the show interesting. What to reboot the franchise execs? Exclude SGU and pick up where SGA and SG1 left off. How do you do that? Well go to Joe Flanigan or any of the great people who are willing. It's not like there aren't options but execs are obsessed with brief flashes of success instead of patient long term development. Besides, rebooting the movie is going to fail. New audiences won't appreciate it because they've "heard that plot somewhere before" and older, as in prior, fans will be miffed.
I agree SGU was a terrible soap opera in space with poorly-engineered arbitrary conflicts, but it had jettisoned a lot of that and was getting to be a lot more like the team effort we enjoyed from Stargate when it got cancelled. The series-ending cliffhanger might have been the best episode of the series. Now that Once Upon a Time is done, maybe Robert Carlyle can come back and resolve it.
yeah, pretty much
I could not watch SGU more than a few episodes and I'm a pretty Gater.
SGU was badass at the last episodes on air
Wow, I never knew this! Just goes to show that the powers that be/were didn't really give a shit about the fans in the end.
They never did, they cared about the money. Only the ones close enough to the project with artistic/creative integrity and commitment gave a fuck about the fans because they had the passion behind the projects. The higher up you go, the less it's about the fans and the more it's about the money. If there's no profit, they don't care.
it's heliocentric propaganda, extremely well executed but still
I love Joe Flanigan! What a great guy I had no idea he tried to buy/lease the franchise he would have been perfect for steering the the ship, madness they did not go for it because hes right. Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis have huge fan bases and both shows brought in a tone of money for MGM, why on earth would they not want someone who clearly knows what hes doing taking over and getting things back on track?
Give Joe Flanigan the Stargate wheel MGM!!!
It's too bad that they don't listen to the fans or the actors. There is definitely someone preventing more movies AND series from happening, with so many people who would love to and who have the experience & means to do so, like Joe, David Nykl, Amanda Tapping, David Hewlett, his wife, his sister, and other Stargate actors are all also writers and producers.
I wish they would just bring it back. SGA was and is the best.
Its 2020 and I want the show back.
Oh geez... Like he has to even ASK, "Everyone here wants to see some more Stargate, right?"
C'Mon Joe!! Everyone wants to see some more Stargate!! Let's DO IT!!
HOPEFULLY, now that Amazon is in process of buying MGM, Brad Wright will be able to work it out with Amazon and he will be able to get them to "green-light" a bunch more Stargate for all of us to see and Love!! Again, Let's DO IT!!
lets hope that Amazon have the faith and that the love for Atlantis is still there.....otherwise im really worried that it will be left in the dust and we will just get a new show with new characters but probably set in the same continuity. Im hoping that if they do have to do that, i hope that it is successful and then that could lead to SG-1 and Atlantis films or further seasons to finish or extend some storylines and characters. but somethings gotta happen
I love how Garrett is just chilling next to him
wish this came out sooner could have had R.D.A produce,i think every fan ever would have rallied behind and forced the thing through, but.... no
Younger sexier audience" ... And what do we got? Well we got Eli, who likes to play world of warcraft and if that doesn't make him sexy, what else?
Oh and if you by any chance find just a tiny hint of sarcasm in my comment, you can keep it.
To Joe, *DAMN THANK YOU* for trying to buy off the franchise from MGM. We wouldn't get Stargate: The Nazi Hitler Chronicles, if you succeeded back then, but you really tried your best and i'm sure now, that you could have done nothing more, MGM just made their mind and no one could ever change that. It is sad, yes, but that's reality and reality sucks sometimes really hard.
LOL! They went with a character that played WoW to connect with a younger audience? Some of the middle-aged scientists in SG-1 did that too.
Instead of say "leasing the franchise to him" why not as for the rights to go and make a few episodes off of his own back. Start Crowd Funding (as he said, they have the best fans in the world, so even if 90% of them gave $1 it'd be a fair amount of money!) and get the funding through those means rather than having to deal directly with production and distribution companies and ask for their money on a 'gamble' (in their eyes)
he didnt have a problem with raising the money, either way he has to either buy the rights (which they probably will never sell) or lease the rights which they didnt want to do for whatever reason. theres no other grounds for them to make the series without the rights to it, no matter how much money we throw at it.
Met Joe last year at OZ Comic Con in Melbourne. Absolute top bloke!! A pity he could not get his hands on the rights. We may of actually got a true Stargate show
Yes Stargate SG1 finished beautifully but SGA ended too soon then there was SGU wich i didn't get the Stargate feel yet it was interesting then it was cancelled second season left me hanging and wishing there was more SGU and SGA SGA continued with SG1 characters popping in and out so well it became the new main series.
And now they're going to outrage the fans with a reboot, kind've makes me want to diverse myself from the reboot newbie nerds by wearing a shirt with the Stargate series on it.
Sci-Fi wait do they spell it with y's anyways Sci-Fi needs to look at the ark of truth for the continuation of the Stargate series, just saying.
We don't need a thousand Terra Nova SGU The 100's or Revolution Walking Dead's wandering around being cancelled every 2 years, please just bring back a series that can last for ten years - Stargate
Now with DIgital tv I get weak reception 32 channels only 3 are interesting the two of wich I get terrible reception and airplanes interfere quite often, i have no sci-fi channel.
Thankfully, we got Dark Matter - but only for two seasons.
i agree, SGU started to get real good at the end. feels kinda bitter sweet the way they left it. i guess i'll die before we get any new information on what happened to them.
Thank you Joe. The way they abruptly ended Stargate Atlantis was an insult. SG1 should have also had at least a few more seasons as well.
really hope that both atlantis & universe get revived
stangundam01 What about SG-1?
Félix Veilleux-Ouellet sg1 sort of ended for me with the way they did the asgard at the end & with continuum it was interesting but wasn't more then them just going around in a big circle, I would've like if instead of continuum that they instead did the atlantis movie
stangundam01 The Lucian Alliance is still a big deal in the Milky Way. I can imagine a new series set in the Milky Way, maybe with a brand new SG-1 team.
+Félix „Lt. Gen. Jack O'Neill“ Veilleux-Ouellet SG-1 is SG-1 you can't replace the whole squad
***** I get what you mean, but you have to take it from an in-universe perspective. The original SG-1 members are getting old. They'll retire. Does that mean it's over for the SG-1 team? I don't think so. They'll just hire new members. I think there's a potential for an SG-1 show or comics series with new characters, with the original characters making cameos or occasional appearances. Stargate SG-1: The Next Generation. It has a nice ring to it I think.
Bring back both Atlantis and SGU. I am satisfied with the way SG1 ended but hell bring that back too if ya want
Jack O'Niell Universe was maybe a bit too ambitious. It felt like Lost to me, super interesting but you don't really believe writers can bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Would love if I was proven wrong about that.
I felt the same thing: Lost was about "the human story" with the mystery and adventure becoming a backdrop for anxiety and tension. Most fans of SG-1 liked it for the adventure, mystery and archvillans. I have always despised writers and directors who get obessed about the "the human story" in any franchise. They always wind up reinventing Lost.
Imagine. Actor from spin-off of the spin-off serie buys and save entire franchise and makes his own season.
It was sad that this didn't happen.
Agreed, that would have been amazing
Is that harry kim beside him?
stratoship R yeah, I know he does a lot of the compare work for star trek at conventions but he must do some of the others too.
Yes it is :)
Some ones needs to start a fucking petition or something, I want Stargate back ;(
Sad he didn't achieved this, I think he could do a great job.
At first, I was thinking how many subtitles would it take to pay for the entire franchise. Then I realized "WITH" subtitles meant the video not the purchase. :D :D
it's kinda sad it got canceled :( , just finished watching SGA, couple days ago, and wish there was more, kinda felt unfinished
What a shame the studio couldnt get their act together. They always seem to find a way to fuck up a good thing.
Sounds like John Shepard was trying to save Stargate in our reality!
Such a shame. SG-1 had a decent enough rough, it was on the air for years. Atlantis still had much to explore with thousands of possible story lines to make for a show that could have been on the air for just as long as it's predecessor. Universe was a good show but unfortunately didn't get going until season 2 and we all know how that worked out.
At least we can say that in an alternate reality, Atlantis survived, right?
Joe is the man. Joe please for the love of god bring back Stargate! Like my hats off to the man he never watched an episode of stargate before becoming John Shepherd and he nailed it the 1st 10 secs and kept delivering great entertainment. Thank you Joe
he should be a director! he knows what fans like. miss that show.
SGA had plenty more to give as most SG fans would agree. Why would they drop it when it was running high? Then to find out that Joe Flanigan tried to reeboot the series and was denied the opportunity really puts salt on the wound!! I take my hat off to aJoe for his efforts, but as for the franchise owners.....they are just riduculous!!!
Joe flannigan is a fantastic person!!!
I love how the french subtitles contain information that he doesn't actually say. Fascinating choice.
lol yup.
Both shows need a reboot.
Joe should create a "fan film/series" called uhhh, "Gate Stars" or "Gates to the Stars" or "Gates of the Ancients". Screw the franchisees, they can't lock down the spirit for good syfi or entire careers of very talented people. Make a "Fan Series", just like Star Trek and the lazy fat cats will clamor to bring back "Star Gate" or lose the "value" of their franchise forever. Or Joe and team can just team up with Netflix or Amazon and create "Gates of the Ancients".
well, there's the problem he tried to buy the Stargate franchise with French subtitles.
henkman00 hahaha xD
I like Stargate Atlantis as it was once one of the best of the sci-fi out there. It was a very flexible show as it showed humor, drama, confect, and the strength of the plots and actors. In some ways it reminds me of the shows I grew up back in the 50’s and 60’s such as William Powel in some of his mystery movies he did. Stairgate universe was a dark moody show, in which I watched about twenty minutes of it Shows and movies like that one contributes to some of the social unrest we see today. So as I watch the reruns of it, I will think of weapon can we use to beat the race. I would like to see The Race and The Klingons mix it up. Maybe we can introduce The Race to a 40mm blooper.
I miss stargate so much. I became an engineer because of star trek and stargate
i really miss stargate
It took me a while to get around to watching Atlantis, as I was worried it would be a poor imitation of the main series. However I was happy to find it much like Voyager was to TNG. Decent plot lines and a capable cast to carry it through. I also struggled a few times with SG1 with the changes to the team and a weird crossover with Farscape! But again the main plotline carried it well and brought a good story. SGU was crap. I can't put it any better than that really. It could have been good, but it wasn't they screwed around with the set up and the general feel of it too much, and it came out like STD. In fact I would say STD is better than SGU!
Huge respect to Joe!
Miss these guys, miss the shows. SG1 and SGA were just great!
would have been great if Joe Flanigan would have got the rights can tell he was passionate about the show would be great to have it released again everything for the past 10-11 years since the shows ended has been (dark and edgey) enough bring back some fun tv
I grew my whole life since i was like 10 and im 28 now, watching stargate, and i still do and i have lost the amount of times i have seen each of the series but to me SGU was is still the best show there is out of all of them.. just beats it, its dark, more dramatically real feeling and not the typical joke when everything is about to cease to exist.. that got old fast.. real reaction time was perfect with SGU not like SG1 or SGA..
Love SGU so much and the last episodes of SGU beat both SG1 and SGA together
That's terrible. Having people who helped make part of the shows great actually interested in continuing the stories and wern't even asking for hand outs they were putting up real money and nothing happened.
I heard for a while the rumors of MGM or spyglass or whatever in talks with the original creators (the ones who made the first movie, who also hated the tv show or felt the tv show was wrong or something, what I heard) about rebooting the movie and I was like "no!" cause then they would probably mess it up. They helped create the idea of the stargate and thus spawned some really great shows that still stand up to this day but they didn't apparently like those idea and if they were to reboot the movie it probably would have ended up like another transformers type movie.
What's really sad is that the tv show had a HUGE library of information towards making a really great game, if the right company came along and gave it the respect it deserves. Could have made a great game, heck maybe a bunch of great games. Just think GTA but with stargate (I know there was a few years ago that got cancelled).
At this point they sat on it way to long, some of the original cast probably wont return. Not to mention the writers and they might have trouble getting the core audience back maybe in this day and age since a lot of people have ditched cable unless they were to push it towards a service like netflix or something. Just stinks all around.
‘You can fight like a Krogan,run like a leopard , but you’ll never be better than Commander Shepard !’
Joe is the man, the boss, the best. Keep trying for the fans mate, we back all the way!
Didnt know he tried to save it, that's awesome, its a shame it didn't work but thanks for trying. We all miss Stargate! :(
I don't know if anyone remembers the disaster that was Help Nathan Buy Firefly, but this is like that, only with competency and proper channels.
Pink And The Keytar Cat didn't know about that. What happened?
Interesting, but I doubt it would ever have been successful. They'll hold on to it for a decade before doing anything with it, if they want to. Such a waste. The movie reboot is disgusting and frankly an insult to the hundreds of hours and multiple years people have invested into the shows.
Couple of years later they did something with it, and it was abysmal. A ten episode webseries with a laughable budget and mediocre story, all locked behind a streaming service no one has.
SGA was perhaps the BEST ever Sci-Fi Series to this very day. Killing it made absolutely no sense what-so-ever. Never been so upset for so long over any show in this life.
We want a SGA revival!
It seems we will be getting a new series after all, hopefully by '23
Damn you never ever heard an actor of a beloved, cancelled series go into it like this !
Bring back Stargate Atlantis
You can watch all the episodes Atlantis and SG-1 in El Rey network. In Direct TV I think is 341.
Poor Joe, he couldn't have known that insulting your fanbase would be the norm in 2018/9
I would love to see Joe succeed in this indevor, I will get behind it
Mannnnn what a let
down..how could a show this cool end so abruptly
He should have played young han solo.
Now that you say it - absolutely, he seems perfect for the role. Damn shame!
I feel like he's done with acting and holywood life in general... But he's already an alternate Han Solo in my mind.
I would love to see him in a Han Solo movie but he's too old now for a young Han Solo.
This will never end for me and hopefully every other fan of stargate and fans to come -- Stargate Love Forever Bring Back Stargate Reference Stargate Around To Make And Create The Love And Appreciation And Hopes For A Stargate Franchise Return Neverending!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😆😆😅😅😅😄😄😄
Man i keep re-watching SG1 and Atlantis over and over... PS: Sheppard reminds me a lot of Commander Sheppard from Mass Effect trilogy, character wise...
DJ Sickey I thought ME Shepard was inspired by SGA John Sheppard, haha
French subs are wrong in some places. Sadly the most important places.
Les sous titres fr sont faux à certain moment. Malheureusement aux moment les plus important.
I honestly think that Stargate SG1 had a good ending and done, Stargate Atlantis does need to come back in either a season 6 or movie to end it, the same thing with Stargate Universe.
Personally I would only want a SGU movie or season 5 to finish it up, but I would LOVE a season 6 for SGA or movie.
I'm waiting for 'Stargate: Atlantis - The Animated Series"
Why do the French subtitles contain much more detailed information than what he's saying in English?
Annnnd my respect for Flanigan just sky rocketed. Thanks for trying man. That's all we could have asked...
I'm glad Joe has so much passion, I loved his character along with his team. I started watching with Atlantis (my fav) as I found SG1 cheap compared to the movie when it launched. I've since watched everything and love every aspect of the Stargate franchise. Universe was getting so damn good too! I really hope Joe continues to try. I've never kickstarted anything, but I'd gladly donate to any Stargate project he leads!
shit, some Firefly folks collected 114% of a indiegogo campaign in one day. Bet Joe and folks would collect enough for a new show or movie too! Bring back Teyla and all :D
