Upside has gone to crap. They have dropped every place I usually used it at (BK, Wendys and ALL grocery stores) and I live in Minneapolis, so there are plenty of places around that it could offer cashback from. None of the gas discounts are better than the prices available from Costco or Sams Club without cashback. Almost every restaurant is only 5% or less cashback now. (Mostly less) 2/3rds of their discount places now are Starbucks which is a whopping 3%. I used to use the cashback multiple times weekly, but haven't for weeks now unless there was some sort of extra incentive.
@@Ross_Schmidt Thank you for the feedback Ross! We won't support advertisers that aren't doing right be their customers. So, we'll be looking into this. In California the gas discounts are good, but we don't have a Costco with gas close, so that might be a good point. Thank you!
Why is everyone selling their assest to amazon look what it done to Lords of the Ring. I promise you the series will be destroyed that is why the creator was dumped.
And that is exactly what they want to do the Popcast have you not notice it by now they dont care fans are angry and lose base. They are doing it so they can create a new fan base and getting rid of the old. Its time to stop talking about them destroying and start to find out how can we stop amazon from this chaos!! STOP GIVING THEM YOUR RIGHTS!
I think we're screwed as Stargate fans...these modern "franchise revivals" don't exactly have the best track record.
Like Amazon's newest production; Lord of the Things: Cockrings of Power
Wokegate: Trny1
There is hope with SBY 2199 reviving a 70's show perfectly
maybe we are thinking about this all wrong, maybe we should allow Amazon to make this big mistake and fail, and when we allow them to fail, perhaps the rights to this franchise could be sold to another studio...
but at the same time, the kind of potential stargate show with Amazon money is very tempting, but it loses it's tempting appeal when they keep swatting brad wrights already created script when Amazons writers have nothing to show for it, and the fact that i don't trust Amazon because they are shady as fuck as a company, it's hard to think about going this way.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w guess it'll be like the new Star Wars trilogy
I only watched Stargate in these past few years but I am so in love with the whole franchise. We definitely need Brad Wright on the new Stargate series, if God willing there is one at all!
no, Amazons god is Amazon itself, it's head is stuck so far up its own ass, that you can see hell from inside.
Amazon did this, they are helping themselves to look like a shit hellish option.
He will never be brought back Amazon gone woke!
False God
I wouldn’t watch it if it wasn’t by Brad Wright and his selected team! It’s his soul that’s poured into the show and made it so successful!
I would watch it; - In horror!
u would and then never again :), at least the first episode, just to quench ur curiousity
@@everx7 No.
Why do so many give Amazon their soul???? Now all the old series is snap up by amazon!
Wheel of time, Rings of power both Amazon. Like many I was giddy as all hell thinking.. Yes bring back Stargate. Now I'm more on the side of don't you dare mess about with one of the best Sci fi series ever made
On the other hand, Amazon did a good job saving "The Expanse". I think it's not Amazon itself , but the showrunners.
Remember that Amazon is a logistics company, they ship stuff around, they don't know how to make TV shows. They just hire some TV producers, the shows are in their hands.
It all comes down to who they put in charge. Remakes tend to fail because they take someone unrelated to the material and that person wants to make it their own so they change things, if they bring in some of the original writers then it should be fine.
I didn’t realize stargate was being brought back until I read this video title and I said out loud “noo, please no.”
Agreed, 100%
100 percent, if amazon made a fresh start with the new stargate, even if its a good show there will be a very noisy backlash, people are invested in stargate stories. I say to Amazon get the people with the fresh and best ideas but make them work with Brad Wright to make it work as a continuation. That's a win-win IMO.
They destroyed Lords of the Rings and they will do it to SG you wait! They gone woke!
Stargate SG1 is by far one of the best produced scyfy tv shows of all time. I really doubt Amazon will capture the same feeling of the universe created on SG1.
where ?
1-4
5-7
8-10 ?
@@Darlf_Sevil
every season.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w but they dont have same feeling
@@Darlf_Sevil
i don't understand what you mean. please explain what you mean?
@@Darlf_Sevil and so ? u watch what 5-7 and u good, COME THE FUCK ON, the entire set is greatness even the weaker ones, so really i dont get it either. It begins slow and individual ep. building up to that saga what follows is done i think very gently and on point. Sure its not perfection, but i dont really care, it doesnt have to be, maybe thats why it feel so great, all seasons. Whatever season u begin its bs, u not only seeing individual episodes and stories, u GETTING to know the crew, the team, SG1 and later other SG teams and the scope of the operation and etc etc. I like most of the episodes, wont gonna lie, there are some excellent ones, some great ones, some good ones and there are also mediocre ones and one or two a bit bad ones, for me at least. But i hope u not one of those ppl who watches seasons 1-4 and ure good, thats just ridiculous.
As ive heard with Big Bang Theory, ppl (the bitchy disappointed ones) watch only the 1-4 seasons and theyre good, cause it looses something after that, and i disagree, where it loses, it gain other stuff. Of course theres too there are bad and good episodes, but all around the whole show is excellent.
If Amazon doesn't care about what we love and want for Stargate, then we don't care about what Amazon wants to produce. They ignore us? Let's just ignore them too! If Amazon decides to make a reboot, then let's boycott Amazon. Let them take responsibility for their own mess.
I was boycotting Amazon for years. But no one seems to care how Amazon hurts so many people and since I'm getting older why should I care they hurt future generations? Even they don't care. Oh the teens and 20 somethings will finger point and blame everyone else in a few years but...Anyway, if most people weren't boycotting Amazon already it wont hurt them now.
I tried. No one cares. :(
Sequels, prequels, continuations, remakes, amd reimaginings are all forms of reboots.
@@joshuaperrine2019 True. This video is about a HARD reboot. Retelling the story with new people.
@@C.Church a remake or reimagining fits better than reboot
@@joshuaperrine2019 It's a big decision. If they change the world, then everything that came before is unusable. Or if they wreck it and no one likes it and it's cancelled, that is all unusable.
If Amazon pull a Wheel of Time/Rings of Power on Stargate, I'll guess I'll skip that too.
Right now, it's like they're TRYING to destroy these various franchises...
They need Brad Wright, and not just for show,..
Knowing Amazon, they'll probably pull another Tom Shippey when Wright tries to explain WHY they
they're screwing up.
They ARE trying to destroy our favorite franchises in order to demoralize us.
i agree, don't know who Tom Shippey is, but i agree with your statement as a whole regarding brad wright.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Tom Shippey is a respected Tolkien scholar who was brought in to ensure that Amazon remained faithful to the lore with their Rings of Power series.
Shortly after Christopher Tolkien died, Amazon sacked Tom Shippey and immediately swapped him out for an identity politics activist/ diversity officer.
It became very clear then that Amazon had no genuine intention of being faithful to Tolkien's Middle-Earth source material, and also what their REAL priorities were.
And it was confirmed, when the series debuted, and it turned out they'd basically SHREDDED the canon during the filming of Rings of Power. The series is downright unrecognisable to fans.
@@Han-rw9ev
hey thanks for letting me know about this, i was not really a big fan of Tolkien stuff, i mean i liked the lord of the rings movies, but i wasn't a super huge fan to the point where i would know about these details.
but yeah, amazon have no trust in my eyes, and i feel that your right that they will continue to do this with other shows and movies that they now have the rights to.
this is why they don't make their own movies on their ideas, because they always fail, so it becomes much easier to use existing popular franchises that lots of people love and turn it into shit with their identity politics infused in the production.
this is why they don't care if the show bombs in most cases, because they only care about their propaganda being viewed by a larger audience.
i mean how many shows within the last decade have gone woke and shortly after gone broke?
i have lost count honestly, and it's within every genre of the entertainment industry that we keep seeing these shows and movies fail because wokeness is not as popular as twitter wants people to believe, besides twitter is mostly bots anyway thanks to Elon letting everyone know, i think he said the platform is 85% bots.
just let that sink in a little bit, this means that most viral stories that we have herd about for the last decade have been manufactured into going viral, and it was mostly bullshit.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w I don't have an issue with woke. Except when you cram it into EVERYTHING.
Then it gets kind of stupid.
I dont trust Amazon Studios, hell I barely trust them with my package deliveries
Couldn’t agree more man. My prime sub ended with the expanse.
@@ComZeo and my dad's gettingbridckf Amazon for our entire household for streaming si ce j dint use Amazon prime becuse half the content innit is paid to purchase with the package
underrated comment.
You guys are being to dramatic. REACHER, the expanse, The boys
Amazing has a great track record
@@ANTIStraussian actually you’re right.
I was gonna list off a bunch of their failures but realized they were all Netflix.
Still, I do think their bullheadedness with lotr, is an Ill omen, but I guess we’ll see.
As someone who has watched every episode of all 17 seasons, this video is 100% correct.
There's 18. You are forgetting the animated series.
@@janeysprings583 : The animated series was largely forgotten for good reason. It didn't feel like a Stargate series.
As long as Brad Wright is involved, a new Stargate series will be great, and I'll look forward to watching it. If Amazon ghosts Brad, that will tell me that Amazon is going to the same thing to Stargate that they did with Rings of Power, and I have no interest in watching that. *Amazon kree!*
Considering they had the preeminent Tolkien scholar for Rings of Power, but fired him once he started pointing out how far from the lore they were deviating with their "diversity", I seriously would rather they not touch it at all. If they ignore the entirety of SG-1 and Atlantis like they are doing with Tolkien's lore, it wouldn't be Stargate, just another perversion to push their obvious agenda.
@@oblivionsa7973 so true
People said the same thing about obiwan.
If owen macgreggor is involved, it will be great.
That aged like fine milk left out in the desert sun.
@@khatdubell Owen Macgreggor is an actor. Even the best actor in the world can't overcome bad writing. Brad Wright was involved in writing all three Stargate series. His talent is obvious and needs no defense.
We’ve already seen the vandalism and the beginning death throes of Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who. I’m not sure I have the heart to see the same thing happen to Stargate as well.
The ironic thing is, the lone saving grace of sci fi is a comedy show by the guy who created some of the most mindless drivel on TV.
Add marvel too and all the past series we love! There nothing to be sad it was producer fault they sold it to Amazon thinking it was the right thing only to know they will destroy it.
I used to have showtime just for this show. Use Brad Wright as he knows what he is doing. My mom and i loved watching it. She is 72 yrs old is anxious to see new ones if they are done with Brad Wright.
Tolkien fans have been spreading this quote, “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”. ― JRR Tolkien
Simply by not bringing Brad into this would be a huge mistake. As well as others that really made the show awesome. All the actors need to make an appearance as well if not in a standard role at least in some screen time to pay respect to their part in the series. Fans want to see that and it is an emotional tie to the past as well as the development of future episodes. Amazon needs to get on this ASAP we have been waiting too long and the timing is solid to compete and offer alternatives to the Disney Star Wars spin-offs. It is solid sci-fi at it's finest to shelve SG-1 and related series is a bad idea.
Any reboot or show not made by brad wright should not be recognize as canon
Only a show created by Brad and who he passes the torch too will be recognized as canon.
I wish all of us Stargate fans could buy the rights to the show and give it to Brad and see if he can deliver us a show worth watching like he already has with all the old shows!
I have been watching this show since it first aired the first episode on show time. A stargate series without brad would be just a 1 season failure like so many other shows in the last few years. He is the one who weaves the cloth together and makes it perfect. Amazon please let him make you money.
Start the letter writing campaign now. There’s zero reason to ignore the primary writers and canon of this series which has a proven track record of success. Let’s not forget that before Supernatural ended, SG-1 was the longest running American sci-fi series on television.
Todd, here is the petition savethegate.org - Letters can't hurt either! Amazon Studios P.O. Box 81226. Seattle, WA 98108
Keep Brad in charge of the gate. Any other person will fall short of keeping the Stargate franchise true to the ongoing story.
We need all Stargate cast members back with a small amount of new people
Might be too late to be the main character.They aren't in theirs primes anymore.
I saw what happened to Picard in KurzmanReck and wouldn't want see Jack as a hollow shell of former self.
If Amazon is reading this, don't do random reboots of stargate, it's Brad's work and we all want to see universe completed along with other ideas Brad has.
I just hope they don't ruin it. I think they need Brad Wright there to make it in his vision the way star gate is
Hope in one hand, 💩 in the other and see which one fills up first.
Amazon's track record isn't the greatest on this front
Brad Wright is an integral part of a New Stargate!
Totally Agree! Tired of watching changes that most of us agree with. Keep Brad and the wonderful Stargate story line!
THANK YOU for this video!!!!
One Stargate team, one fight! Thank you for the shout out Leandro!
I have all Stargate tv series and movies on DVD so no problem for me, I watch them all every year!! At no further cost to me!!
I am 17 and am sad that Stargate was ultimately before my time but I grew up on it and I can't wait for more after watching my favourite show for the 10th time over
Don’t get me wrong. Getting Brad Wright back is the ideal scenario but the most important thing is that the next generation of Stargate is in current cannon and not a reboot. There are tons of talented producers out there and Amazon does do a good job of finding talent for its shows
I'm going to have to strongly disagree with that one. Amazon seemed to hire based solely on "diversity" check boxes for Rings of Power. They will more than likely gut the Stargate franchise, wear the skin like a costume, and cash in on the name to push the message, just like they did to Tolkien. A compelling plot, good characters, and especially established lore will all be sacrificed to "update for modern audiences".
@@oblivionsa7973 Never seen anything Lord on the Rings so take this as you will. But that’s one show that seems to have good reviews but hardcore fans are split on. So far Amazon has had a lot of wins with Invincible, the Boys, and the Expanse. Worst case they are 3-1 so far
@@jackoneill1336 the thing wiht Rings of power is that it completely ignores large parts of the original canon. However these "hardcore tolkien fans" are grasping at straws to find anything to hate becasue they didnt get what they want. It was certainly disappointing how little they followed the source material, but by itself the show is pretty good
@@raptorxrise5386 When you say it ignores the original cannon. Do you mean the cannon from the movies. Or the cannon from the books. Like I said, never seen anything LOR
@@jackoneill1336 The true canon would be the books. The movies deviate quite a bit. Im calling them their own seperate "canon" because im not sure what else to call it. RoP on the other hands ignores both the movies and most of the books and does its completely own thing.
I hope that cleared things up.
I would love to have Stargate back but I'm not sure how good it's going to be without brad wright involved I just hope they don't ruin this show
Amazon if you want to make money and a good show Let Brad do his thing! I will not watch without him and staying true to the lore. If you don’t like what Brad wants then don’t make a Stargate show.
It's worth pointing out that the various Stargate shows are not available on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, possibly other non-US territories too. They are there but still only as purchasable episodes outside of the prime subscription.
Appreciate the work you do, but worth clarifying if something is US only.
I'd like to see where the creator itself wants to take the series.
I loved SG1 and Atlantis.
Amazon needs Brad Wright as a consultant to get it right! After watching what Amazon has done to Lord of Rings: Rings of Power, they have decided to create mostly new content and new characters than what has gone before on Rings of Power created to their own whims. Fans audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes has not been favorable at about 39% enjoyment. Critics gave it 85 percent, however these critics might be swayed to review favorably just to get access to early viewings of shows and would want to be nice to Amazon to stay on their early access list. Not sure how far they might botch a Stargate new series and create new characters but we will have to wait and see. Rings of Power and Wheel of Time are only moderately okay but not great! They are lacking in some things like great character building.
I'm convinced that critics are payed to rate this highly
You Can Only Watch SG1 , Atlantis and Universe on the US Amazon Prime Video with MGM
thank you for adding this!
We want Brad Wright Stargate !!!
We support Brad! Stargate is one of the best TV series ever existed.
Found out that in the UK it's not, you have to buy the MGM subscription to get access to the all the series on top of the Prime sub, hopefully that might change but I doubt it. I'm worried if they don't get Brad back in, it will be the worst mistake and they will have backlash from another fandom to worry about! If only we had a big fan like Jeff Bezos when he saved The Expanse.
With how many free sites are out there, do you buy subscriptions?? And with how bad those series are from these streaming services? ,Wow!
It’s $4.99 a month for the MGM add on here in Australia. I only use 2 streaming apps a month. When I turn one on, I turn one off.
I hope that if Brads script isnt used, he at least releases it into the public eye.
I immediately cancelled my Prime sub when Amazon UK decided to charge another subscription separately for MGM shows/movies despite being owned by Amazon.
Once I saw how they shat on LOTR, I knew cancelling was 100% the right decision!
Here are examples to go by: When I was little in the late 70s early 80s the new Bugs Bunny cartoons were not as good as the old ones. Even as a little kid I noticed the "fresher look" was not as good.
I have a milennial sister. As the years went on she began complaining (still a child) that Spongebob was going down in quality because it was getting faster and faster. 13yrs old "It's so fast now!."
Scooby Doo. When Scrappy came and it got a bit more 80s refreshed it was noticeably less groovy.
Even young people know, stick with the TONE and PACE that made it magical. Stop "updating" things in the wrong ways. To avoid the wrong ways, keep the original people if you have that option. Let THEM decide how to refresh it. I almost guarantee, they won't mess with TONE and PACE. (ok SG Universe but... what can I say? They seemed pressured to be Battlestar G).
Swapping in new people isn't the answer. By now we can confidently say it is an amateur mistake to swap in new people when the original peopem are both available and always gave quality before.
The worst part about Amazon's screw ups is that we *know* they can do better. Look at The Boys and Invincible. They included the original creators and made something amazing. There was real passion and dedication. If they can't bring in Brad Wright then they will be cutting off that honest love of the series that is needed for reboots, re-imaginings, or continuations.
The Boys/TX are total exceptions, everything else they produce has a very bland flavor. Man in the High Castle is such a great source material and such a mass meh of a implementation. It really highlights what prime is.
the boyz was incredible in the beginning, but then they decided to get into politics and use the show to express these politics, and this is when the show went to shit.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Too farscical for me to take their poplitics seriously it's as if they're mocking their own for just being so cartoonish and over the top.
Stargate isn't Stargate without Brad Wright
When I saw what they did to rings of power and heard what they did to brad wright this is exactly what I started worrying about. I hope they don't ruin this show
What in your opinion did they "do to rings of power"? I mean yeah not following the book canon at all is dumb but the way you say it makes it sound like they murdered someone.
Amazon is going to destroy the Stargate franchise and get the same response they got from the LOTR community.
Amazon is setting a bad president on many areas. The Rings of Crap may be the most visible. Recently the credits I earned by allowing delayed shipment got changed. It used to be you could use for example $12.00 of "No Rush" credits in one pop for a Audible books or item. Not now you can only use what was earned "PER Order" per purchase. $1.00 on a order is all you can claim. A larger order may have $3.00. That makes it a total NO going forward. Sort of HELL NO from me. I had $31.00 in no Rush credits. I am not a happy and I am starting to consider not being Prime user much longer. I still fell the pain of the now doubled Prime cost from just a few years ago.
Yes Brad Wright stargate is needed!!!
With the bad fan reaction or reception of Ring of Power, this could be an opportunity for Brad to repitch his idea and convince Amazon that he has the fan base to make the stargate show successful.
Amazon only cares about “the message”, not good shows. With what they’ve done with so many other series, I’d rather see Stargate never get another series if they’re going to make the new show centered on woke politics. They absolutely destroyed Tolkien. I’m sure they’re dissing Brad Wright because he wants to concentrate on good stories.
We definitely need Brad Wright
I've probably said this a thousand times. I am a diehard Stargate fan, but I don't want Amazon making a new Stargate any time soon. They will completely screw it up without any chance to fix it like they did with Rings of Power.
I may not continue my prime if this doesn’t go through, I love Stargate.
Amazon, Please don't ghost Brad, you need him!
As a fan who followed Stargate for all of those 17 seasons originally and love the whole Stargate universe, I am a palled at the thought that Amazon might totally snub Brad Wright and go in a different direction. I think would be a huge mistake.
I probably won’t watch it nor will I recommend anyone else that cares about Stargate to do so either.
Amazon, do the right thing! Talk to Brad Wright!
Listen up Amazon. Stargate is the only franchise I have ever purchased season by season on DVD yet I still stream it all the time. Don't ruin this by trying to go a new direction. If you want to see a case study of the WRONG move, I suggest you take a look at what happens with Quantum Leap over the next few months.
TBH i want to see Brad Wright''s new Stargate come to the next generation.
Agreed! Brad Wright for Stargate!
Brad is the right guy all the way!
Star gate is one of my favorite shows. I own every ep of all the stargate shows on disk. But I don't want Amazon to touch this show. With out brad Write as the show I do not care about new fake fan fiction. After what Amazon did to lord of the ring no thank you.
We want Brads Stargate!!!
LOVED Stargate! Please bring it back Amazon!
Leave the WOKE crap to Star Trek - Keep Stargate as it was !!!!!!!!!
Would actually love to see what their vision would be (in a twisted sort of way).... The shows had prominent non white characters, strong females, all the things that we are told that we all hate.
@@dougsmith3499
ok there is a difference between the forced woke stuff nowadays than what it was in the past, nowadays they want you to believe that these people dominate society, but in reality they are a minority.
but this also includes the LGBTQ people, every show, movie, video game are trying to force viewers to watch these people invade the space of good shows movies and video games as it they were the majority of the population, which they are not even near at this point.
but they still try to force it down like there's no tomorrow.
you got to understand the wokeness that was already in the show back in the day was so subtle in comparison to what it is now and back then it was done organically, but now that they are just adding people to the list just because they are trying to follow a race and gender quota, checking the boxes, and it in most cases has nothing to do with the overall story of the show, they just decided that for their check box reasons it made sense to them that they should add in 10 gay guys just because that's what the quota called for.
they fuck with the lore the writing and the story when they make productions like this, it's almost as stupid as writing a show using an AI. sure the AI might come up with some cool looking art, but the story is a complete mess of random elements simply because they wanted to infuse identity politics into the production.
forced wokeness in todays world is a weakness when it comes to writing a good story, and this is why they purchase popular franchises to get people to view these shows within this new ideology they are trying to force onto regular people who just want good entertainment.
they have tried to make their own shows, but they are in most cases creativity bankrupt and it's just easier to purchase known popular franchises and infuse their politics into the show, because this way it's somehow easier to get people to purchase their product and also get their agenda driven propaganda across to the masses as much as possible.
amazon ignoring original creators writings??? rings of power anyone?
remember when they made carter say. something about not judging her by her reproductive organs being on inside as to outside for men. and how even creators after the actress asked them not to go in that direction character wise stopped doing that and even mocked that line sevetral times.
well the new young non binary writers will put stuff like that in in for sure if amazon lets them write it like rings of power
In the Netherlands SG is only available if you pay extra for the MGM subscription. It's not free with Prime.
I definitely want Brad Wright and other original guys on the team to make a new show, but even if Amazon totally, 100% remakes it, I will give it a shot. That's what die hard fans do. I'll even keep watching it even if it isn't even as "good" as SGU. Personally, I liked SGU. Not as much as the first two...but I did still like it. It really started getting good during the second season...
He’s there and willing to continue his amazing stories don’t snub him and all the fans for some new unwanted rubbish
AMAZON, do not screw up Stargate like you have LOTR. If you buy a franchise, because it's popular and has a built it fan base, do not piss off the fan base or you get the LOTR backlash you are now seeing!!
After watching Star trek discovery and now Amazon's first 3 Rings of power. Doomed, we are completely and utterly doomed.
Very problematic. On one hand amazon said LOR will determine amazons VOD future, as well as amazon displaying this behavior for some time now. On the other hand, deals like this stargate licensing are not done overnight. On the other hand, again amazon VOD is not known to listen to its viewers and on the other other hand again this is developing into an desaster to happen.
We are so focused on what we "want" that i fear that anything less, will be viewed so critically by the "core" fandom (even if it will be good) that it will cause a schism among fans and will result in a "good" new stargate to be canceled because it is not "what we wanted".
I want Stargate with Mr Wright, dont get me wrong but I also want Stargate.
New Stargate must have Brad Wright involved or it will fail, make it happen Amazon!
Amazon has no respect for the original IPs. They destroyed The Wheel of Time. They destroyed Lord of the Rings. They will destroy Stargate too.
The mass market fan base never fully embraced SG-U's attempt to mature the franchise from military adventure comedy toward harder science fiction drama. Amazon has an opportunity now to address that with a fresh new show without the worry about arguable conflicts over IP. Instead a brand new science fiction franchise could be started based on the Robert Doherty _Area 51_ books which took another path in blending history and mythology with alien visitation and conflict. As a bonus this could have the grounded air of shows like The Expanse to help draw audiences back from the abyss of fantasy soaps we've been getting lately. Humanity went to the Moon once, and we didn't do it riding broomsticks with big hairy feet.
We want Brad Wright! Love the Stargate we have known and loved!
Like Amazon cares about the “heart and soul” of stargate. They would crush the heart and sell the soul.
It is probably ideal that Brad Wright is involved, however I would be willing to take any new Stargate and risk it. Yeah maybe it sucks, but maybe it's good. Sometimes a fresh take works. Look at BSG..
I agree that the new BSG was good, but don’t agree this is a reason why a new “start from scratch” Stargate would be a good idea and this is some of my reasoning:
BSG was done before before streaming services took off and its original run was from the 70s, pre-modern day special effects. Stargate is from the 90s and known for its special effects. Think Terminator 2 - this is the he period where special effects became real - the morphing algorithm of the terminator was a game changer. The fresh new BSG benefited from this, Stargate will not - it had modern day special effects.
The original BSG was released long before the internet became accessible commercially too. Computers were mostly terminal, prompt-based machines in the 70s/early 80s and still not part of the average household. The Stargate movie was released at the start of the World Wide Web, and the tv shows after most computers had started to use graphical user interfaces. Home computers where more accessible to at that time but nothing like today where we walk around with mobile devices in our hands. Getting this Stargate alien technology to work from that period in time (1990s) using that equipment was much more impressive that some tech guru today looking it up on google for a “fresh new” Stargate.
A character in BSG called Starbuck was male in the original but female in the new series. How would you feel about Samantha Carter being used as a political device, were they would now be Samuel Carter - the non binary genius who worked on the Stargate and should have been on the original mission in the movie? Not the same show? In fact no longer a show that has the same marketable audience reach as the original storyline.
This is why I believe the show needs to be continued without changing the existing materials, build on from them using existing characters a as different adding new ones instead of throwing them out and starting from scratch
MGM had Brad Wright go ahead and write the pilot, Amazon bought them. Amazon didn't ask Brad Wright for a pilot script. That's why there wasn't a go on his script. It's already been reported elsewhere.
Amazon should not make any remakes of classic shows, it shows that it is a shallow company with no thought or respect to what has been done before.
Normally I do not have an issue with new creators taking over old franchise. I actually like the modern Treks, for example, and they are more successful now than they have ever been (since we have 5 shows in active production, and a 6th about to start production, and a movie in production), and franchise need to evolve and change or they die (see 90s Trek, which was great, until Voyager and Enterprise just repeated a lot of stuff already done, and did not evolve the formula at all). That being said, your point regarding our darker times, and needing a light, fun franchise, is solid. I would prefer Brad Wright to return for that reason alone. I am not that worried about Amazon, they did do 3 seasons of The Expanse, and that is amazing.
Amazon did talk to Brad through MGM 2 years ago...
The irony here is back a few years ago I remember Amazon making a similar pitch for "Farscape." My guess is Amazon couldn't get the "Licensing" in that case
With respect, users in the UK can only watch it on the MGM channel which is a separate Prime channel. Yes, you've guessed it, extra charge time.
I've been a Stargate fan since season 1 Showtime days and I would love a new series but I have to say I will not be watching any new show if Brad Wright is not heavily involved and has some control over its direction.
It's not available internationally without restrictions. So...
I think it's best for Amazon to stick with selling stuff and leave the TV shows to the professionals
What professionals you mean hollyweird? it's all woke trash !
If the Rings of Power is any indication, I think Stargate is doomed...Amazon will just give us the middle finger and shove their product down our throats
At least we still have the originals. None of us wants Amazon to rings of power Stargate.
As long as it's good I'm down I would love to watch some new Stargate
Have you seen what they did to source material in RoP.
Look what happened to Resident Evil (2022) Bebop (2021). Star Trek Discovery or Star Trek Picard.
There are good ways and bad ways to continue a IPs Legacy. Better Caul Saul or Cobra Kai would be my good examples.
Might have been released on Amazon US but at least in the UK you still have to buy the MGM bolt on subscription so its not everywhere
Brad Wright all the way! Please dpn't turn it into another Oninon Rings of Power.
I’m 23 and I love stargate, I agree don’t ruin it, it’s not too old at all in fact it’s pretty modern.
I have all of sg1 and Atlantis on DVD from years ago as well as all the movies that took place for both shows. Couldn't really get into universe. So I'm set. I also bought a collection of all 6 of the peter Jackson movies when I saw the 1st amazon teasers for rings of power. I even downloaded one of the fan edits of the hobbit. He condensed the 3 movies into one 4 hour movie. If you don't have a physical copy or a digital one as an independent file away from streaming you run the risk of losing it. I trust no one.
had a look at your mixedtees designs, i LOVE the midway station t-shirt. Unfortunately mixedtees is too expensive to ship to the UK for me. But love the design!
Amazon's new 'Rings of Power' has potential and is shaping up to be interesting, but I want my Stargate to be a continuation of what's already been created, and honouring the canon. Not a reboot, not a re-imagining, or even an alternate timeline, although if the last were chosen, have some of the original actors hired in.
They're bringing SG back all those wonderful stories I remember so fondly! Oh oh no. No no no NOOOOO !
10:43-oh thats so touching and really made me feel for those fans
In one ear, out the other
In UK, we still only get SG shows under a MGM subscription.
Here in Australia, within Amazon Prime, I still need to get additional MGM subscription as a “channel” for $5.00 per month to see the Stargate franchise shows. May be in the US, the Stargate shows are already part of Amazon Prime but not in every country yet. More importantly, the resolution of the videos, at least for SG-1, is only 720p on “MGM inside Prime” in Australia, compared to 1080p quality that I have heard the American audience are getting. No 16:9 ratio either.
If you cant get what you are paying for, just stream it elsewhere or torrent it. Not worth throwing money at bastards.
I'd love to see a new STARGATE series...but not so much if it is ONLY on AMAZON. Not a member, no real intentions to become one. I have thought of doing a PARMOUNT+ membership in order to binge all of the STAR TREK series though....
My wife told me I don't listen so I have said many times 'What do you think?' Works for us.
