The Stargate Franchise - A First Timer's Watchthrough

Well, it just says we're getting answers for what happened to the SGU cast after the cliffhanger ending. Which could just be a character making an off-hand reference about "those poor sons of bitches on Destiny sure met a terrible end..."

I hope not. That would be pretty lousy. I hope we actually get to see how the Destiny expedition ended.
 
^ Or just some handwave like

"Whew. Glad earth's new daudelus class ship found us and towed us back"

There was a comic that picked up where season 2 ended

Colonel Everett Young is awakened from his stasis pod by Eli Wallace. He realizes he and Wallace are accompanied by five unknown humans. He tells them that the ship needs to conserve energy but is ignored by the leader, a blonde female, who is more focused on the structural damage of the ship. Eli tells the Colonel its only been two and a half months since the crew went into stasis. Eli then assures him he has temporarily fixed their power problem that necessitated their 3-year hibernation plan. This leads to Colonel Young asking Eli to explain from the beginning.
 
Well the gate is open again

https://www.gateworld.net/news/2020/09/back-on-prime-stream-all-three-stargate-shows-amazon/#:~:text=Fans lamented the Stargate franchise's,in the U.S. in July.&text=All 10 seasons of Stargate,are back on Prime Video.


After being taken off Prime in July all 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1 are back along with Atlantis and Universe.

Gateworld mentioned that SG-1 has been upscaled but they didn't mention that the wormhole graphics are now the more updated graphics that atlantis used.

I guess maybe a rights issue vs show issue?

If they used the movie graphics they'd probably have to pay royalty. With the newer graphics the production can truly call it their show.

That is US only I bet.
I’ve started reading the Atlantis Legacy novels. Pretty good so far. Only got to the part where Atlantis gets back to the Pegasus Galaxy.

Gateworld didn't mention it because it didn't happen. I just checked a random episode (season 2's Touchstone) and it was still the original movie wormhole. Prime uses the Special Edition cut of the series premiere, which did use the season 9/10 Atlantis-style wormhole, is that what you saw?
 
This is the first time I've heard something about Stargate that actually has my interest. I miss the series, and I thought SGU met an untimely end.
 
So will it be called Stargate: Multiverse?

Better yet - Stargate: Otherworld. :mallory:

srsly, it could work. With very little rewriting, Otherworld could easily be part of the Stargate universe. Just have it be another human-transplanted planet, rather than (in the original series) a parallel universe.

And they could even get Jonathan Banks to come back. It's win-win!

It's missing seasons 8+ of SG1, Season 5 of Atlantis and all of SGU on Canadian Amazon Prime. Though it does have Ark of Truth and Continuum.
Guess the distribution rights for those later seasons are owned by someone else up here, odd that the movies are there though, I guess different distribution rights because they're movies.

I already own every season except SGU Season 2 on DVD, so I'm fine but just saying.
 
Indeed fingers crossed we get a new Stargate series!
Would love to know more about SGU's cosmic background mystery, as well as what happened to them.
Stoked the previous characters could make appearances and that the lore wouldn't get scrapped.
 
I was watching some of SG-1 on Comet the other night (They had just finished the series and then restarted it the next episode with Children of the Gods and I'm still surprised they haven't picked up Atlantis or SG-U. Heck, I'm surprised those shows aren't on any free streamers like Pluto TV, but it's good they are back on Prime.
 
They have Atlantis and Universe, they just show them one at a time, at least they had when they started showing them. They would show one for a few months, and then after that they would switch and start showing one of the others, and then a few months later switch the third, and they'd start over.
 
I remember Canada had the world exclusive to showing Atlantis first and the UK did with Sky. I remember there was like a 3 month gap between the UK and US. You couldn’t even discuss most things online since no one in America had seen it and when they did, it was old news.
 
I'm rewatching SG-1 right now, and one thing I dislike about later seasons (maybe have mentioned this on this forum before) is the added comedy. Episodes like Avenger 2.0 and 'The Other Guys' would feel out of place IMO in the first 4 or 5 seasons.

And then with Season 8 (and some in 7) with RDA taking smaller roles, I noticed they started giving the rest of the cast the funny lines that O'Neill would normally have, and it feels weird.

And then come Season 9 and 10, it just went overboard with the humour IMO.
Vala and Mitchell were just too much sometimes.

Comedy was always a part of SG-1. Indeed, the producers even said they insisted on it since so much televised sci-fi "had a stick up its ass and took itself way too seriously" and they didn't want SG-1 to be like that. Really, I think each season only had one dedicated episode of pure comedy, though there was plenty of humor in the rest of the episodes.
And then with Season 8 (and some in 7) with RDA taking smaller roles, I noticed they started giving the rest of the cast the funny lines that O'Neill would normally have, and it feels weird.
Daniel started getting progressively snarkier in the fourth season, which was even commented on in one of the episodes then.

Vala and Mitchell were just too much sometimes.
I found the show became more serious in those years. Yes, Vala became the show's new comedic face, while Mitchell actually struck me as more of a serious character who simply had a sarcastic side more than an all-out comedic character like O'Neill was. Mitchell was certainly a lot more straight-laced than O'Neill or Sheppard ever were.
 
Yeah I also agree that the writers just gave Daniel all of Jack's lines. Watch the episode where Mitchell and Carter go out of phase


"Arthur's Mantle"


Look at Michael Shanks mannerisms. That's like Jack's
