theres a universe out their with endless seasons of firefly, countless star wars tv shows that are all great, star trek having interlacing movies and tv shows... and quite possibly stargate with actual exploration of the ancients and asgard deep and philosophically far reaching. oh well. even a series of wheel of time films that long and fully explore the books with complementary films exploring side characters on their own etc

I was always sad that they canceled Atlantis when they did. I mean, that last season was some of the best stuff from the series and it introduced two new villain races into the show; the angry antagonistic Asgard and the one group of unnamed aliens from that one episode early in season 5 where they're jumping realities. I had high hopes for a season 6 before the cancellation announcement.
Joe Flanigan was very close to continuing it, but MGM was simply falling apart. Amazon bought them and reorganized how the studio was structured while setting up new physical studios to shoot in as MGM no longer directly owned any, they were renting studio space as needed. Amazon did not want to rent studio space for their productions. If any new stargate happens, it should be possible in the next year or two. MGM projects that were started before amazon bought them are reaching release, so amazon will now be able to focus on things MGM ignored.
@@solandri69 They should do what they did with sg-1. Launch a new show with a new cast. Flannigan can be higher ranking and in charge of a program with new sg teams with 20 years having gone by. Have it start with the return to having a base in pegasus or some other new thing that will have new people in a new location with new stuff to do.

@viper2165 SGU has grown on me over the years but I did feel like you at first. For me I didn't originally like how it focused more on the people vs the sci-fi aspect
Yeah, hated SGU , the drama 'lovies' took over what was a fun franchise and destroyed it. Even the basics , that the humans had any right to affect the mission anoyed me.
@@tonyug113 I saw like dive minutes of SGU and noped out of it because of the exact reasons you mentioned. I was like this is a military operation right? Why is the civilian dictating things? And why do we have a military and civilian faction on the ship? Yeah nope I am done here.
They tried to do something different with SGU. Instead of the episodic format, they wanted a plot continuity between episodes. They wanted to shift the focus from exploration and discovery of new things to the characters and the drama. But that's not really what the fans wanted from a SG serie.
I would recommend reading the Stargate Atlantis legacy books. They're not official however they pretty much stay in cannon when it comes to picking up where season 5 ended. If anything the books paint a much better alternate reality if you will, because reading the books is like an extra two or three seasons.
I always wondered if after Atlantis was on Earth if people dialing Earth from another planet would get the original Earth gate or the Atlantis gate instead. We never got to find out.
@@Archaeonauts I think McKay mentioned that in a few episodes. I think when it's close to Earth the Pegasus gate becomes primary indeed Milky Way gate is secondary or something to that nature. Don't quote me on that because it's been a minute since I binged watch the series
Joe Flanigan is up there with Richard Hatch in trying to revive their respective SciFi TV Series. Both iconic in their roles and loved/respected by fans. I caught Stargate once SGU was on weekly and then went and binged SG1 and SGA. I find I enjoy SGA the most and think the creators used the SG1 experience to make an even better show to follow-up and fit a modern audience that had the technology to see episodes week to week via DVR so created a better experience as we saw with later SG1 seasons.
at least we have star wars.... i mean star gate... i mean star trek.... i mean lord of the rings... i mean wheel of time... i mean the nightly news... i mean uhhh... what do we still have? oh right, each other.
Probably because in my personal opinion none of the shows dragged on longer then they should have. Sg-1 may have introduced the Ori in the final two seasons but I think Unending is a wonderful finale. Atlantis, its was full circle, the first scene was of Atlantis leaving Earth and it returned in the final episode to save it. Universe, it didn't get a chance to stretch its legs but it managed to leave an impact with a story focused more on survival and characters then fighting the bad guy of the week.
The problem with Atlantis, which I loved, was its abrupt ending. It basically ended on a cliffhanger, leading me to believe that the cancellation was not planned but rather happened quite hastily. Universe thereafter was simply not a worthy successor. While they found the right mix of tension, drama, and humor in SG1 and Atlantis, Universe consisted mainly of drama, and for the most part, relationship drama. It was simply exhausting to watch; it was the first Stargate series where I fast-forwarded through large portions of episodes because I couldn't stand those endless "who's sleeping with whom" segments, and they didn't interest me. To this day, I am a big fan of SG1 and Atlantis, but Universe was, for me, a soap opera that just happened to be set in the Stargate universe. Even the general vibe that this series conveyed with its lighting and setting was simply depressing.
Disagree. I liked SGU best of all the shows. It was the only one that truly felt like it had real stakes. It was dark and gritty. And the entire show was a giant mystery... figuring out Destiny.
In addition to that: Universe was plain bad. The colonels would all have been court martialled ten times a day and the "master sergeant" would have had to enlist before he was born to have time in service to attain that rank (see Tim Walz on how to fail that) plus being a really bad soldier (would have had trouble to rise above Lance Corporal), Then the fraternisation, etc you mentioned and it was really bad.
I agree it's the weaker of the 3 shows, but I was intrigued for season 3.. who were those powerful god-like beings?, did destiny survive the hypersleep journey..what about poor eli who didn't have a sleep pod?
Every time I fly to Japan (about every 6 months) I load 10 episodes on my iPad to watch.. last flight, the older man next to me said, “boy I miss that show, don’t make them like that anymore..”. We both agreed
@@Archangelglenn Indeed, after seeing the castration of Trek, wars, GI Joe, Halo, and many others. I don't want Stargate to get corrupted with that kind of garbage.
While it is a shock to discover just how much $$$ it cost to make even a single episode, Stargate still remains one of the most beloved and well known Sci-Fi franchises of all time. It still baffles me nothing has been announced for a revival of the series since Amazon acquired the right to it.
@@Bobbydoesarchery Amazon had that awful LOTR show that they dumped a billion on. Imagine how many good shows could have been funded with that alone. Not to mention the other rubbish that amazon puts out.
I like all three Stargate iterations. SQ1 Atlantis and Stargate universe. It's the best sci-fi show that's ever been made in my mind. I hope they come out with something and do the original series justice!! Atlantis was hard to beat and sg1 just kind of ran its course
They cancelled it because they wanted to surf on the darker scifi wave of the mid 2000s that was first launched by Battlestar Galactica, so they put all of their resources into making Stargate Universe and it completely flopped because the tone was so different from the rest of the franchise, Stargate always had this campy feeling to it and it's what fans enjoyed about the show, it never took itself too seriously and the heroes would crack jokes at the villains, SGU throw all that away and gave it a super serious, no jokes allowed, "omg we're all going to die" tone. Most of the fanbase never forgave them for it.
SGU didn't kill the franchise. According to Joe Flannigan they were set to air the next season of Atlantis when their funding was cut at the last minute. In truth,, scify wanted to spend money on other projects which as we all know came and went faster than the water out of a firehose.
If Amazon had any brains, they would create new stargate series based on the origins of the different aliens throughout the different shows. What they need to do is create a show that tells us the entire history between the Ori and the Ancients and then move on to the history of the G'ould, the Wraith, the travelers, origins and history of the Asgard and how many of them split off and went to the Pegasus galaxy and finally gives us a series actually showing who the Furlings are.
That sounds a lot expensive, just for a few minutes of "The expanse" space battles cost millions, so we can imagine how it would be in a show with so many special effects plus all the other costs Best case scenario you get 1 show with 2 seasons each with 10 episodes, then it ends because of costs. Worst case scenario you get some weird low cost stargate series that looks horrible. But we can dream about it of course :/
I was just thinking about that. I feel like such shows would work in this day in age. It would be similar in some aspects to Babylon 5, Earth Final Conflict and also Sanctuary, Yes completely different shows but a tone and look that could be comparable. The Stargate franchise has more potential then even Star Trek with its best days behind and it current days worse than Enterprise which was SGU of Star Trek. Scifi may have been a niche thing, and still is, but its niche with a large fanbase and even "normies" watch it. Scifi rebranding to Scyfy and going full fantasy and supernatural route was a bad idea. Scifi is short for Science fiction for a reason. Rebranding as Scyfy was a horrible idea for the them. Then even went back to science fiction later on with shows like Killjoy. To little to late though. Most people like myself checked out of it. I wonder how its doing now and what its showing now.
@ThrillJester I stopped watching that channel the moment they rebranded, and while killjoys was a decent show. It lacked in writing and story arc, although the ship(Lucy) was awsome
@fberdf If Amazon can pay for the final 3 seasons of CGI in the Expanse, they damn sure can spend that same amount of money and effort for Stargate. The problem is whether the new shows will go politically brainwashed with bullshit ideology in the same way Disney has done with Star Wars, Snow White, The Little Mermaid and so on.
Amazon bought MGM and have been sitting on Stargate for a very long time. Hopefully they will announce something before too long. I would rather have more of Stargate than the latest Rings of Power.
Star Gate Atlantis was amazing!!!! I loved it. Universe was a terrible teenage drama. I miss it so much but if it was made today it would be so woke and trendy which would kill it in the first season.
Atlantis was my favorite out of 3. Then SG-1, then Universe, the most controversial to me, though I really liked the worldbuilding and expansion of what was before. Seeing real aliens such as Nakai was cool and refreshing... Anyway, after Origins released I`m really afraid to expect anything new from StarGate franchise😄 Another series I enjoyed was Dark Matter, which also was shut down by Syfy, if I`m not mistaken
I watched one interview with Joe Flanigan and he talked about the end of SGA, it was mostly what you said but he also said that MGM had to make choice, since it was going bankrupt they wanted to look like active studio making new shows, so instead of going for Season 6 of SGA which would be safe bet they decided to do new different show - SGU, which unfortunately wasn't the big save they hoped for...
It is also the Sad reality that All good things must End. I fondly rewatch the show from time to time with my Mom, wich over the year became her favorite shows.
@@mattryan7124 Capcrica had really good charcters, Greystone was well played and Alessandra Toressani, I dont know any other role she played after that in a more popular scifi series?
@chrisk3127 rumor is they wanted to reboot Stargate instead of continuing the series. Brad Wright's script was a new show that would also answer the cliffhanger from SGU
Lots of rumors that Amazon will bring it back for Prime. SciTrek has been doing some "reporting" on that. Problem is, I don't think Amazon realizes the property it has and what it could do for them. Instead, they are pouring hundreds of millions into the atrocious "Rings of Power".
This just fed into one of the biggest debates in all of scifi. I was a big scifi channel fan in 2008, those other shows it was talking about were Battlestar Galactica and Caprica. The Stargate series, minus Universe always had better ratings than BSG. The BSG miniseries was of course the ratings pull for the channel, and it was a critical darling, but overall, the show was a flop. The reason they created Universe was a way to get the BSG like story telling on Stargate, which flopped. It was after this shows like Eureka and Warehouse 13 started, mainly to save money. Not bad shows, but they weren't Stargate.
They did the same thing to 'Eureka' that they did to the Stargate franchise. They also kind of did the same thing to 'BSG' and 'Caprica'. 'BSG' was meant to go seven seasons but they couldn't get any time of commitment so the creators/showrunners ended it after the fourth season. 'Eureka' was told they were going to have another season, crew and cast even arranged their lives around that fact and Universal pulled the offer. Universal was cutting costs across the board not just Stargate. In fact that's when the SyFy Channel had its extended low budget (lots of reality and poorly produced made for's aka TV movies) fare like 'Sharknado' and wrestling. And though those things did okay they made the channel less popular. Shows like 'Eureka' were popular and shows like 'BSG' garnered critical praise. Both shows performed very well on DVD (as did many of the shows of that era) however, that wasn't good enough for them to continue. CW and WGN are recent examples of networks making similar calculations to the detriment of the quality of scripted television shows.
As a hardcore Stargate fan. I was reasonably satisfied with how SG-1 and Atlantis ended. Shows can't go on too long or you lose the thing that makes them great. I was extremely hyped for Universe and much of it was great. However the "these are the wrong people" narrative left me quite unsatisfied. Them being cut off from home is fine, but there was no reason to have them be a improvised team. It should of been a proper team like Atlantis. The compelling narrative of an infinite universe with infinite cosmic wonders to see would be enough to bring in the audience. All the interpersonal relationships they where pushing was unnecessary and I believe a primary reason for the shows unpopularity. It's a science fiction show, not a soap opera. Universe had so much potential and they wasted it pushing a narrative that never really worked. They could of even corrected the mistake, opening the gate to earth and bringing "proper" people to the ship. But they chose to keep faking us out with empty BS about them returning to earth, that we knew was never going to happen. Such wasted potential.
they never had enough power for either way travel, that was why the 2 planets that blew up were so important, the whole thing of the wrong people was they were supposed to get the gate to work and then they were going to get the actual team and send them through but plot happened and Rush made them go through thinking they were going to earth lol
I don't want Stargate to get the Rings Of Power treatment, which if revived now, it absolutely would. I'd rather it stay a fond memory then a tarnished reality.
@@donaldduck830 They have done great sci fi series before. Funnily enough, listing the names of those sci fis series triggered the algo here is some weird way that make them removes those post.
I wish Amazon would let me buy SG-1 and Atlantis digitally instead of having them only available with Prime. I'm always worried Prime will lose them someday which wouldn't be an issue if I could just buy them. I hate this monthly rental service is better then selling products digitally idiocy which a lot of TV, movie, and game companies now support for some stupid reason.
If you start the Stargate journey, you will probably have a full year episodes ahead of you. Enjoy! 10 Stargate SG-1 seasons, 5 Stargate Atlantis seasons, & 2 Stargate Universe seasons. Watch the shows in the order typed. It makes for a more cohesive storyline. As an aside, disregard the naysayers of Stargate Universe. Most the "naysayers" gave up during Season 1. Season 2 was incredible!
@@remliqa No. Atlantis works purely off of SG-1. The characters of SG-1 join the characters of Atlantis and help out the Atlantis team. I don't ever remember the Atlantis team joining the SG-1 TV show.
@@remliqa Something you might like about Stargate Atlantis is that Jason Momoa (DC's Aquaman) plays Ronon Dex the biggest badazz fighter of the show! Google the character. You will love him!
@@JasonMistretta-wf5ip they mention atlantis once in a while in sg1 like when a character goes over there for an atlantis ep but yeah doesn't matter much for watch order
Atlantis and SG-1 were both good. Universe didn't feel like a Stargate show, and I couldn't get into it. I wish Atlantis had been given another season, but in a few years you will probably be able to just feed the episode titles to an AI model and have it output the episodes for you.
Here's an idea that I have thrown out into the internet any time new Stargate shows are discussed. Have it set in a future where stargate travel is no longer a secret. The show would focus on a search and rescue team not unlike the Coast Guard's Air Sea Rescue. The newly formed group's first big mission, rescue the people stranded on the Destiny.
People are doing good CGI in their basements now. It's gotta be cheaper. There's a whole fanbase that's been waiting almost 20 years, what are they waiting for? The Expanse wasn't a well known IP as this and they went all in.
SGU was not my cup of tea .. however .. both SG-1 and SGA were nothing short of legendary TV shows .. Hearing about Joe Flannigan's attempt to save it is really heartwarming, it's a damn shame it didn't work out. He was excellent and iconic as John Shepard, very close to legendary Richard Dean Anderson's Jack O'Neill .. and to be perfectly clear and fair .. both shows had excellent cast of main and side characters. And many people miss them to this day .. 🫡
I assume like Star Trek, fatigue set in. I think long running shows need to take a break every so often before flooding the market again. As I have gone back and watched Atlantis I realized that they started recycling a lot of SG-1 plot points that the previous show had done better anyways. The departure of Weir for me really messed up the shows character dynamic and they never really got it back.
Did you actually watch the 2nd season of Stargate Universe?? Most people that dump on Stargate Universe only watched the 1st season. The 2nd season was actually awesome.
One thing I always wondered about was why Stargate Universe did not have any puddle jumpers on the ship they could use to go to the different planets to gather the supplies they needed during the trip. Would have been a lot easier with the ships sensors and the ability to load a lot more stuff on the ship when returning to Destiny.
@@chrisk3127 And yet there is nothing in the shows that I heard that indicated that Destiny was launched before the city of Atlantis was built. Considering that Destiny had an advanced hyperspace drive that Atlantis and none of the Lantian ships that the humans in the Pegasus galaxy discovered had, I think it is clear that Atlantis already existed before Destiny was launched. And the war with the Wraiths afterward prevented them from upgrading the city's and the other ships' hyperdrives to the more advanced hyperdrive.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 Atlantis's hyperdrive was the most advanced they ever made, the reason they didn't put intergalactic drives on their warships was their warships weren't travelling between Earth and Atlantis they were only protecting planets from the wraith. I don't remember when they mentioned it but they mentioned the Destiny used a weird FTL tech (not hyperspace) and that it wasn't as fast and needed to cool down between jumps. atlantis went from earth to pegasus about 20 million BC meanwhile the destiny was launched about 50 million BC. they mention the destiny was sent out shortly after the seed ships which were literally building the stargate network meanwhile atlantis had a state of the art startgate, not to mention destiny would've had drone launchers if it was finished anywhere near atlantis
Wait so the parent company didn't go to any bank anywhere and ask for a Derivative against the Canadian Dollar? That is a massive oversight by MGM for what should have been an easily avoided issue regardless of the economic circumstances at the time. This would have avoided the currency change issue completely.
Stargate Universe's new "grittier" style was not well received by everyone I know. I'm not sure why they decided to change the formula that worked and were then surprised with the new formula didn't work.
I think it was mainly two factors, first a lot of fans gave them negative feedback for resolving SGA's survival while "cut off from earth" aspect to quickly. SGU was a chance to retry that narrative device but on a more long term scale. 2nd the popularity of the dark gritty style from the BattleStar Galactica series was in vogue and the long distance nature of the lost in space plot that effectively disconnected it from both the other Star Gate series meant that they could play around with that darker more dramatic style within the same universe more easily.
Haven't seen Universe but sounds a lot like star trek Picard with it's dark and gritty atmosphere and a lot of F-bombs. Totally not star trek I know at all
SGA is my favorite of the three. SG1 is a close second place. SGU basically sucked though and I know some people loved it. They had an interesting setup and elements but they never did anything with it. It's just a slice of life sitcom in effect and those are boring.
I can't imagine picking to keep Stargate Universe over Stargate Atlantis. Universe was just a soap opera aimed at teenagers in a Sci Fi setting. No wonder it flopped after two years.
it's mostly season 1 that's utter trash and hard to watch. season 2 was quite good and had some of the episodes i really love rewatching regularly. in season 1 past the first episodes i usually skip the season
I still watch SG1 and atlantis every year. Mandatory yearly binge. Hope stargate comes back on a streaming service with new show. Certainly amazon can afford it cmon guys make it happen!!!
Apple had also planned on acquiring the show for iTunes, SG1 would've gotten an 11th season too, apparently a good few ppl on apples board were fans and thought it would be a good way to get more shows and ppl onto iTunes. Although I really, really wish Joe Flanigans buy out went ahead. It would've been awesome to see more Atlantis, SG1 plus SGU really started to get good in season 2. Would've been amazing to get all three going, the cross-overs could've been brilliant.
Of all the IP's Amazon actually owns now, Stargate might be the biggest and most deserving of them that are currently not on-air in any capacity (other than reruns and streaming of course). The franchise is still very popular, all the main cast are still acting and willing to come back, well I assume except for RDA and most importantly the people behind the scenes already have a return mapped out for years now. So, the question remains, why won't Amazon pull the trigger?
Stargate and Stargate Atlantis were brilliant shows after they tried to follow Battlestar Galictica it failed. I do like Battlestar Galactica but doing the style of show did not work for Stargate.
i mean the tale was told a few times already, by the time of SGU. Voyager had to cross the galaxy to get back to Earth, BSG had to find the lost 13th colony Earth, John Criton got lost in a wormhole desperately trying to find his way back to earth in Farscape. the show itself was good, but i think audiences wanted something different than what SGU offered

To this day, I am a big fan of SG1 and Atlantis, but Universe was, for me, a soap opera that just happened to be set in the Stargate universe.
Even the general vibe that this series conveyed with its lighting and setting was simply depressing.
they were told they were doing a movie after s5 ended and made a season 6 script just in case it came back
Disagree. I liked SGU best of all the shows. It was the only one that truly felt like it had real stakes. It was dark and gritty. And the entire show was a giant mystery... figuring out Destiny.
In addition to that: Universe was plain bad. The colonels would all have been court martialled ten times a day and the "master sergeant" would have had to enlist before he was born to have time in service to attain that rank (see Tim Walz on how to fail that) plus being a really bad soldier (would have had trouble to rise above Lance Corporal), Then the fraternisation, etc you mentioned and it was really bad.
Agreed
I agree it's the weaker of the 3 shows, but I was intrigued for season 3.. who were those powerful god-like beings?, did destiny survive the hypersleep journey..what about poor eli who didn't have a sleep pod?
Every time I fly to Japan (about every 6 months) I load 10 episodes on my iPad to watch.. last flight, the older man next to me said, “boy I miss that show, don’t make them like that anymore..”. We both agreed
How has this franchise not made a comeback yet
Not enough black lesbians available to reboot the entire cast.
I think I agree, I don't exactly want a reboot in today's modern world.
@@holeymcsockpuppet you aren't wrong. its sad what all of the franchises have become.
@@Archangelglenn Indeed, after seeing the castration of Trek, wars, GI Joe, Halo, and many others. I don't want Stargate to get corrupted with that kind of garbage.
While it is a shock to discover just how much $$$ it cost to make even a single episode, Stargate still remains one of the most beloved and well known Sci-Fi franchises of all time. It still baffles me nothing has been announced for a revival of the series since Amazon acquired the right to it.
currently rewatching
Been at it for a month now.
Did my first rewatch in 2020. Now I just keep watching it every now and then. Multiple rewatches in.
But the spend 100s of millions on Snow White and all the other crappy shows and movies they came out.
Isn’t Snow White a Disney title?? Star Gate is under MGM/Amazon
@@Bobbydoesarchery Amazon had that awful LOTR show that they dumped a billion on. Imagine how many good shows could have been funded with that alone. Not to mention the other rubbish that amazon puts out.
I like all three Stargate iterations. SQ1 Atlantis and Stargate universe. It's the best sci-fi show that's ever been made in my mind. I hope they come out with something and do the original series justice!! Atlantis was hard to beat and sg1 just kind of ran its course
I am gonna make my own game for this show hope they don't remove it😂
Same❤
I am at season 7
borderlands - codehunters debacle they could not afford to go after gearbox.
They cancelled it because they wanted to surf on the darker scifi wave of the mid 2000s that was first launched by Battlestar Galactica, so they put all of their resources into making Stargate Universe and it completely flopped because the tone was so different from the rest of the franchise, Stargate always had this campy feeling to it and it's what fans enjoyed about the show, it never took itself too seriously and the heroes would crack jokes at the villains, SGU throw all that away and gave it a super serious, no jokes allowed, "omg we're all going to die" tone. Most of the fanbase never forgave them for it.
SGU didn't kill the franchise. According to Joe Flannigan they were set to air the next season of Atlantis when their funding was cut at the last minute. In truth,, scify wanted to spend money on other projects which as we all know came and went faster than the water out of a firehose.
We need more Stargate…
reason why these beloved shows are cancelled: "its making money, but not as much as our shareholders want"
SG-1 and Atlantis are the best out of the three StarGate shows. I have seen the cartoon yet
honestly don't bother-it's nothing like canon
I watched an episode of the cartoon and can summarize it in one word: Toyetic. Yeah, don't bother.
Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate. Chronological order, and my preference, but Stargate gave us the most chills.
Battlestar Galactica.
Babylon 5
If Amazon had any brains, they would create new stargate series based on the origins of the different aliens throughout the different shows. What they need to do is create a show that tells us the entire history between the Ori and the Ancients and then move on to the history of the G'ould, the Wraith, the travelers, origins and history of the Asgard and how many of them split off and went to the Pegasus galaxy and finally gives us a series actually showing who the Furlings are.
maybe a series of the 4 races alliance coming together and doing stuff (ancients, asgard, nox and furlings iirc)
That sounds a lot expensive, just for a few minutes of "The expanse" space battles cost millions, so we can imagine how it would be in a show with so many special effects plus all the other costs
Best case scenario you get 1 show with 2 seasons each with 10 episodes, then it ends because of costs.
Worst case scenario you get some weird low cost stargate series that looks horrible.
But we can dream about it of course :/
I was just thinking about that. I feel like such shows would work in this day in age. It would be similar in some aspects to Babylon 5, Earth Final Conflict and also Sanctuary, Yes completely different shows but a tone and look that could be comparable. The Stargate franchise has more potential then even Star Trek with its best days behind and it current days worse than Enterprise which was SGU of Star Trek. Scifi may have been a niche thing, and still is, but its niche with a large fanbase and even "normies" watch it. Scifi rebranding to Scyfy and going full fantasy and supernatural route was a bad idea. Scifi is short for Science fiction for a reason. Rebranding as Scyfy was a horrible idea for the them. Then even went back to science fiction later on with shows like Killjoy. To little to late though. Most people like myself checked out of it. I wonder how its doing now and what its showing now.
@ThrillJester I stopped watching that channel the moment they rebranded, and while killjoys was a decent show. It lacked in writing and story arc, although the ship(Lucy) was awsome
@fberdf If Amazon can pay for the final 3 seasons of CGI in the Expanse, they damn sure can spend that same amount of money and effort for Stargate. The problem is whether the new shows will go politically brainwashed with bullshit ideology in the same way Disney has done with Star Wars, Snow White, The Little Mermaid and so on.
Amazon bought MGM and have been sitting on Stargate for a very long time. Hopefully they will announce something before too long. I would rather have more of Stargate than the latest Rings of Power.
Star Gate Atlantis was amazing!!!! I loved it. Universe was a terrible teenage drama. I miss it so much but if it was made today it would be so woke and trendy which would kill it in the first season.
Atlantis was my favorite out of 3. Then SG-1, then Universe, the most controversial to me, though I really liked the worldbuilding and expansion of what was before. Seeing real aliens such as Nakai was cool and refreshing... Anyway, after Origins released I`m really afraid to expect anything new from StarGate franchise😄
Another series I enjoyed was Dark Matter, which also was shut down by Syfy, if I`m not mistaken
I had no idea Flanigan went so hard trying to save the series. He's a real one
As someone who pirated it with my roommates, I understand it.
Axing Universe was the biggest mistake ever inflicted on this franchise.
SGU was my favorite
At least SGA had a decent ending despite being canceled, SGU did not and I'm still pissed about it.
I watched one interview with Joe Flanigan and he talked about the end of SGA, it was mostly what you said but he also said that MGM had to make choice, since it was going bankrupt they wanted to look like active studio making new shows, so instead of going for Season 6 of SGA which would be safe bet they decided to do new different show - SGU, which unfortunately wasn't the big save they hoped for...
It is also the Sad reality that All good things must End.
I fondly rewatch the show from time to time with my Mom, wich over the year became her favorite shows.
I have been a big fan of Stargate Atlantis even though the series felt like it was getting a little stale during the fourth season.
I hate the cliff hanger for SGU
Yeah, that and Caprica. Only to be replaced by wrestling. /smh
@@mattryan7124 Capcrica had really good charcters, Greystone was well played and Alessandra Toressani, I dont know any other role she played after that in a more popular scifi series?
At that time I had stopped caring, tbh.
Atlantis was the crazy cliffhanger already.
It's time for a revival. So many plot opportunities for a new show in the Stargate universe.
With Amazon as owner of MGM? I prefer we don't see it - they ruin every franchise they've bought yet.
Hopefully, Amazon greenlight Brad Wright's new Stargate script
I thought they told him they didn't want it
@chrisk3127 rumor is they wanted to reboot Stargate instead of continuing the series. Brad Wright's script was a new show that would also answer the cliffhanger from SGU
I'm sure he publicly stated that they declined him and his script
I loved Atlantis :(
Would add any streaming service that brought back Stargate.
Lots of rumors that Amazon will bring it back for Prime. SciTrek has been doing some "reporting" on that. Problem is, I don't think Amazon realizes the property it has and what it could do for them. Instead, they are pouring hundreds of millions into the atrocious "Rings of Power".
Crave in Canada for SG-1
I would too. If I had to cancel others to get so be it. I miss SG1, Atlantis, and Universe so much. Thank goodness I can rewatch them .
@@robertw31968 On daily in the UK
And yet 20 years later Stargate is more popular than ever
I'm still waiting for a Blu-ray release of Stargate Universe Season 2.
This just fed into one of the biggest debates in all of scifi. I was a big scifi channel fan in 2008, those other shows it was talking about were Battlestar Galactica and Caprica. The Stargate series, minus Universe always had better ratings than BSG. The BSG miniseries was of course the ratings pull for the channel, and it was a critical darling, but overall, the show was a flop. The reason they created Universe was a way to get the BSG like story telling on Stargate, which flopped. It was after this shows like Eureka and Warehouse 13 started, mainly to save money. Not bad shows, but they weren't Stargate.
They did the same thing to 'Eureka' that they did to the Stargate franchise. They also kind of did the same thing to 'BSG' and 'Caprica'. 'BSG' was meant to go seven seasons but they couldn't get any time of commitment so the creators/showrunners ended it after the fourth season. 'Eureka' was told they were going to have another season, crew and cast even arranged their lives around that fact and Universal pulled the offer. Universal was cutting costs across the board not just Stargate. In fact that's when the SyFy Channel had its extended low budget (lots of reality and poorly produced made for's aka TV movies) fare like 'Sharknado' and wrestling. And though those things did okay they made the channel less popular. Shows like 'Eureka' were popular and shows like 'BSG' garnered critical praise. Both shows performed very well on DVD (as did many of the shows of that era) however, that wasn't good enough for them to continue. CW and WGN are recent examples of networks making similar calculations to the detriment of the quality of scripted television shows.
As a hardcore Stargate fan. I was reasonably satisfied with how SG-1 and Atlantis ended. Shows can't go on too long or you lose the thing that makes them great.
I was extremely hyped for Universe and much of it was great. However the "these are the wrong people" narrative left me quite unsatisfied.
Them being cut off from home is fine, but there was no reason to have them be a improvised team. It should of been a proper team like Atlantis.
The compelling narrative of an infinite universe with infinite cosmic wonders to see would be enough to bring in the audience. All the interpersonal relationships they where pushing was unnecessary and I believe a primary reason for the shows unpopularity. It's a science fiction show, not a soap opera.
Universe had so much potential and they wasted it pushing a narrative that never really worked.
They could of even corrected the mistake, opening the gate to earth and bringing "proper" people to the ship. But they chose to keep faking us out with empty BS about them returning to earth, that we knew was never going to happen.
Such wasted potential.
they never had enough power for either way travel, that was why the 2 planets that blew up were so important, the whole thing of the wrong people was they were supposed to get the gate to work and then they were going to get the actual team and send them through but plot happened and Rush made them go through thinking they were going to earth lol
Amazon should revived Stargate instead of pouring more money into that ROP sinkhole.
I don't want Stargate to get the Rings Of Power treatment, which if revived now, it absolutely would.
I'd rather it stay a fond memory then a tarnished reality.
Oh no. Or do you really think they can do a good stargate series?
@@donaldduck830 They have and can make good series, even sci fi ones. Take a look at The Expanse and The Man in the High Castle for example .
@@donaldduck830 They have done great sci fi series before. Funnily enough, listing the names of those sci fis series triggered the algo here is some weird way that make them removes those post.
@@remliqa Pity. I don't know a single good thing to ever come out of Amazon.
I wish Amazon would let me buy SG-1 and Atlantis digitally instead of having them only available with Prime. I'm always worried Prime will lose them someday which wouldn't be an issue if I could just buy them. I hate this monthly rental service is better then selling products digitally idiocy which a lot of TV, movie, and game companies now support for some stupid reason.
I bought the entire series, SG1 and SGA, through Vudu, which is fandango at home.
Atlantis was on roku
There’s a blu-ray boxed set with all three series. I picked it up just in case it gets pulled from streaming.
Prime wont loose them, they own Stargate
I somehow skipped SG and need to watch it now. It's on Prime. Finally, a good reason to have Prime.
If you start the Stargate journey, you will probably have a full year episodes ahead of you. Enjoy! 10 Stargate SG-1 seasons, 5 Stargate Atlantis seasons, & 2 Stargate Universe seasons. Watch the shows in the order typed. It makes for a more cohesive storyline. As an aside, disregard the naysayers of Stargate Universe. Most the "naysayers" gave up during Season 1. Season 2 was incredible!
@@JasonMistretta-wf5ip Is there any cases where I should watch particular episode of Atlantis before watching SG1 or vice versa for plot reasons ?
@@remliqa No. Atlantis works purely off of SG-1. The characters of SG-1 join the characters of Atlantis and help out the Atlantis team. I don't ever remember the Atlantis team joining the SG-1 TV show.
@@remliqa Something you might like about Stargate Atlantis is that Jason Momoa (DC's Aquaman) plays Ronon Dex the biggest badazz fighter of the show! Google the character. You will love him!
@@JasonMistretta-wf5ip they mention atlantis once in a while in sg1 like when a character goes over there for an atlantis ep but yeah doesn't matter much for watch order
Atlantis and SG-1 were both good. Universe didn't feel like a Stargate show, and I couldn't get into it. I wish Atlantis had been given another season, but in a few years you will probably be able to just feed the episode titles to an AI model and have it output the episodes for you.
Here's an idea that I have thrown out into the internet any time new Stargate shows are discussed. Have it set in a future where stargate travel is no longer a secret. The show would focus on a search and rescue team not unlike the Coast Guard's Air Sea Rescue. The newly formed group's first big mission, rescue the people stranded on the Destiny.
People are doing good CGI in their basements now. It's gotta be cheaper. There's a whole fanbase that's been waiting almost 20 years, what are they waiting for? The Expanse wasn't a well known IP as this and they went all in.
Of course now CAD is down to 70 cents US
At the rate it's dropping, they'll be filming after Xmas
SGU was not my cup of tea .. however .. both SG-1 and SGA were nothing short of legendary TV shows ..
Hearing about Joe Flannigan's attempt to save it is really heartwarming, it's a damn shame it didn't work out. He was excellent and iconic as John Shepard, very close to legendary Richard Dean Anderson's Jack O'Neill .. and to be perfectly clear and fair .. both shows had excellent cast of main and side characters.
And many people miss them to this day .. 🫡
Was the high water mark for the franchise. Would have loved to see this and SGU to keep running but was not to be.
The more popular a show becomes the more money the actors require... that usually kills every show.
I’d have traded both seasons of SGU for one more season of SGA.
LOVED that series.... would've loved to continue the Stargate Universe too...
Absolutely loved this series. I was very disappointed it was canceled.
MGM wasted their money on other series.
I assume like Star Trek, fatigue set in. I think long running shows need to take a break every so often before flooding the market again. As I have gone back and watched Atlantis I realized that they started recycling a lot of SG-1 plot points that the previous show had done better anyways. The departure of Weir for me really messed up the shows character dynamic and they never really got it back.
Stargate Universe was my favorite. That show had tons of potential.
I loved this show!!! It was my favorite out of all the Stargate shows.. it should have run at least two more seasons
Im rewatching SGA for the upteenth time and so wish it had kept going, it was so great!
I wish they had continued Atlantis instead of making that trainwreck Universe.
Universe was fine.... other than most of the cast.
Universe was an interesting concept... for us who enjoyed stargate, the more shows, the better.
100% this. 90210 in space was such a dumb choice. The concept was interesting but the cast was awful and too much drama over story
Did you actually watch the 2nd season of Stargate Universe?? Most people that dump on Stargate Universe only watched the 1st season. The 2nd season was actually awesome.
me too but Universe still had potential and when it just started to get interesting they canceled it man i hate these ppl
Stargate and Stargate Atlantic are both amazing shows.
I miss Todd. He was one of my favorite "villain". Sad that SG was never allowed to come back.
I'm still annoyed they replaced Carter with Wolsey in S5.
His character grew as a result. I thought he was a good choice.
The actress agreed only for 1 season of filming
I loved the Stargate movie and Atlantis and Universe. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get in the the Stargate SG-1 series.
One thing I always wondered about was why Stargate Universe did not have any puddle jumpers on the ship they could use to go to the different planets to gather the supplies they needed during the trip. Would have been a lot easier with the ships sensors and the ability to load a lot more stuff on the ship when returning to Destiny.
destiny was way older than atlantis, they hadn't designed them yet which is why they had the ancient shuttles
@@chrisk3127
And yet there is nothing in the shows that I heard that indicated that Destiny was launched before the city of Atlantis was built.
Considering that Destiny had an advanced hyperspace drive that Atlantis and none of the Lantian ships that the humans in the Pegasus galaxy discovered had, I think it is clear that Atlantis already existed before Destiny was launched. And the war with the Wraiths afterward prevented them from upgrading the city's and the other ships' hyperdrives to the more advanced hyperdrive.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 Atlantis's hyperdrive was the most advanced they ever made, the reason they didn't put intergalactic drives on their warships was their warships weren't travelling between Earth and Atlantis they were only protecting planets from the wraith.
I don't remember when they mentioned it but they mentioned the Destiny used a weird FTL tech (not hyperspace) and that it wasn't as fast and needed to cool down between jumps.
atlantis went from earth to pegasus about 20 million BC meanwhile the destiny was launched about 50 million BC.
they mention the destiny was sent out shortly after the seed ships which were literally building the stargate network meanwhile atlantis had a state of the art startgate, not to mention destiny would've had drone launchers if it was finished anywhere near atlantis
Enjoyed stargate Atlantis without knowing about the franchise that much.
Meh... Atlantis wasn't the same without Wier. I missed discount Sigourney Weaver when she was gone.
your telling me the one time in my life the canadian dollar didnt suck it cancellled one of my favourite shows
The Bank of Canada wants it at $0.70 that's why it floats there.
That time was probably also peak pirating of media.
this made me sad...i want sg to continue...FOREVER
Stargate Atlantis was soooo good, I wish it never ended.
SG1, SGA & SGU all need to come back!
Wait so the parent company didn't go to any bank anywhere and ask for a Derivative against the Canadian Dollar? That is a massive oversight by MGM for what should have been an easily avoided issue regardless of the economic circumstances at the time. This would have avoided the currency change issue completely.
One of the things I most hated with the SyFY rebrand were those stupid fantasy/supernatural TV shows. That crap *_is not_* "sci-fi".
I finished binging this a few months ago. I have it on Blu-ray and digital so I could watch at work.
Loved Atlantis
It all got buffed out in the Legacy books.
Stargate Universe's new "grittier" style was not well received by everyone I know. I'm not sure why they decided to change the formula that worked and were then surprised with the new formula didn't work.
I think it was mainly two factors, first a lot of fans gave them negative feedback for resolving SGA's survival while "cut off from earth" aspect to quickly. SGU was a chance to retry that narrative device but on a more long term scale. 2nd the popularity of the dark gritty style from the BattleStar Galactica series was in vogue and the long distance nature of the lost in space plot that effectively disconnected it from both the other Star Gate series meant that they could play around with that darker more dramatic style within the same universe more easily.
Haven't seen Universe but sounds a lot like star trek Picard with it's dark and gritty atmosphere and a lot of F-bombs. Totally not star trek I know at all
Don't worry! Wrestling replaced it, so it's fine!
SGA is my favorite of the three. SG1 is a close second place. SGU basically sucked though and I know some people loved it. They had an interesting setup and elements but they never did anything with it. It's just a slice of life sitcom in effect and those are boring.
Loved Atlantis, but loved SG-1 more, but Universe was absolutely one of the best sci-fi series ever made and its cancellation was a travesty.
im have been waiting for more stargate
I can't imagine picking to keep Stargate Universe over Stargate Atlantis. Universe was just a soap opera aimed at teenagers in a Sci Fi setting. No wonder it flopped after two years.
The sad thing is even that COULD have worked if they didnt overtune it that badly.... such waste
it's mostly season 1 that's utter trash and hard to watch. season 2 was quite good and had some of the episodes i really love rewatching regularly. in season 1 past the first episodes i usually skip the season
I still watch SG1 and atlantis every year. Mandatory yearly binge. Hope stargate comes back on a streaming service with new show.
Certainly amazon can afford it cmon guys make it happen!!!
I liked it a lot. I was disappointed when it was canceled.
atlantis was so good
Apple had also planned on acquiring the show for iTunes, SG1 would've gotten an 11th season too, apparently a good few ppl on apples board were fans and thought it would be a good way to get more shows and ppl onto iTunes. Although I really, really wish Joe Flanigans buy out went ahead. It would've been awesome to see more Atlantis, SG1 plus SGU really started to get good in season 2. Would've been amazing to get all three going, the cross-overs could've been brilliant.
That Homecoming book is quite a good read if you need another Stargate Atlantis fix.
Loved that show. Actually, I loved them all!❤
Love Stargate miss it so much.
Random reddit link lead me here. I know Dexter's voice from his League of Legends episodes, damn. What a nice surprise :D
SGA have Aquaman figthing Kratos
Amazon owns mgm now so hopefully will see it again
Maybe at some point.
Of all the IP's Amazon actually owns now, Stargate might be the biggest and most deserving of them that are currently not on-air in any capacity (other than reruns and streaming of course). The franchise is still very popular, all the main cast are still acting and willing to come back, well I assume except for RDA and most importantly the people behind the scenes already have a return mapped out for years now. So, the question remains, why won't Amazon pull the trigger?
No thanks, just look at what amazon did to lord of the rings.
@@yourmissingsock556boop3 Amazon didn't do anything to Lord of the Rings.
@@LordLOC ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha......................your serious?
I miss Stargate Atlantis.
I still hold out hope that we'll get Stargate Command one day, but based in Atlantis on Earth.
Stargate and Stargate Atlantis were brilliant shows after they tried to follow Battlestar Galictica it failed. I do like Battlestar Galactica but doing the style of show did not work for Stargate.
i mean the tale was told a few times already, by the time of SGU. Voyager had to cross the galaxy to get back to Earth, BSG had to find the lost 13th colony Earth, John Criton got lost in a wormhole desperately trying to find his way back to earth in Farscape. the show itself was good, but i think audiences wanted something different than what SGU offered
I actually enjoyed SGA more than SG1, shame they cancelled it.
