Stargate has always been the best source of escapism for me. Watching the adventures, humour and great characters always had me invested and I'd forget about reality for the next 40-45 minutes. Modern Sci-Fi shows just doesn't have the same effect on me sadly, there have been some good ones but not to the level of many older sci-fi classics
Same for me, it was my child - teenhood and my favorite show for years, only recently beaten by The Expanse, and i almost missed the shot cause the pilot 1st episode of The Expanse was so far of the rest of the serie spirit and didn't convinced me at first.
I agree with what your saying! The best sci-fi has always and will always been Stargate and Star trek, but Dark Matter was also was very good it made me mad when they ended the series. They should have given it more seasons. The same is to be said for many other series in the sci-fi universe.
I think the Orville might be one of the only sci-fi shows recently that isn't all "doom and gloom." The often lightheartedness of the SG universe was (and is) is a great distraction from the real world and its problems.
Stargate SG1 and Atlantis have always given me hope for the future. I had no idea Joseph Mallozzi is the co-creator of the TV series Dark Matter along with Paul Mullie.
I started watching SG because I wanted a tv series with an ending - not canceled half way. Ended up being super hooked and watched everything (Atlantis , Universe, movies). Can't believe how much I miss those shows. Dark Matter was a gem. Took me by surprised when they canceled it. Travelers? Still don't get why it was canceled! That show had everything!
Stargate was an unusual kind of show because it wasn't a traditional sci-fi show since it blended sci-fi elements with that of grounded in reality military drama. This is what I would love to see Stargate continues. That said I wouldn't mind seeing a new SG1 team alongside the old cast.
At the moment there is NO new tv series i want to watch. About 15-20 years ago i didnt had enough time to watch all the new stuff, mostly scifi and fantasy (vamp/werewolf), less politics more action and love stories.
Ehhh...SGU was just not doing it for me. Dark Matter was trying to hard to emulate Firefly and it just wasn't happening they way they had hoped. Travelers i remember the first season a while back but i lost track of it after that. But i did like it.
I'm so glad my parents introduced me to Stargate SG1 when I was 6. They started me on the episode where Cassandra first showed up, you know the little girl has a bomb in her heart episode! 😂 Then I loved it so much that I kept re watching it and refused to watch the rest of the show when I heard she wasn't in the rest of the show 😂😂. Thankfully later on I gave it a proper try and I have loved it ever since! 💖
I miss episodic TV, the way it used to be. Sometimes the ABC here in Aust will create a great weekly series of a drama or comedy...but sadly the SG1 days are over. At lest i have my extensivd DVD collection....i can feed my episode binge lust forever!! 😂
I really hate the fact that all sci-fi is controlled by by money and not the message it sends. The sci-fi universe allows humanity to explore current events and social issues in a different light. It helps us explore what humanity could be without having a predeterminded point of view.
The best SF has healthy mixtures of dark and light eg SG1/A, B5, DS9, etc. SG1/A were beloved partly because of the humor though they had moments of dark eg Jack in elevator when he was captured by Ball.
One thing I absolutely disagree with here is Stargate should have NEVER gone the dark route. There's a reason SGU didn't last more than 2 seasons, but SG-1 lasted 10 seasons and Atlantis lasted 5. No one ever asked for Stargate: Battlestar Galatica Reboot edition. People do still want family friendly SG-1 and Atlantis, but in a new series.
I agree personally with your comment. Loved the spirit, character drama and humour of SG1, still loved Atlantis and learned to appreciate Universe towards the end..but SG1 still remains my number 1. This is just my personal opinion, however.
I have never bothered looking into SGU. After Continuum, even though SG-1 goes on, their story feels complete. We all thought the 9th chevron would go to another universe, the title even suggests that, but instead it's a "lost in space" hook. Cameos from legacy characters aren't even to bait me.
My concern with any new Stargate is the format of streaming shows these days. They get 8 to 10 episodes once per year or two, and in those episodes they tell one story. Stargate was a light hearted, episodic, action adventure show with arc stories and strong character and mythological development. I don't see how these two can be fit together. Sure, they could pick a subset of the original cast, and some sexy new young stars an tell and 8 or 10 part story in the Stargate universe, but this would not be a new Stargate show. It would be a long format movie, or what we used to call a mini series. To put this in perspective, Stargate SG-1 had 214 episodes in 10 seasons, and average of 21.4 episodes per season, most of which contained individual stories. To create the same number of episodes with the current streaming show format would take approximately 24 years, assuming one season per year. Longer if the seasons are not release at least once per year. Perhaps worse, even if this new show did run for 24 years, it would focus on long arc stories at the expense of episodic stories, so we would get fewer individual stories, and as a result less character development -- fewer of those cherished moments when we got to know the characters.
@@gptiede TV simply isn't made in 22-26 episode blocks anymore. It's not funded that way, it's not the way that studios book their soundstages, it's not the way that FX companies work, it's not the way that scripts are approved anymore. As much as everyone wants old length runs, it's never going to happen.
@@mojonojo3 Which means we are not going to get another show like any of the Stargate shows. Sad. The possible upside is that many insiders are saying that the current funding model is not sustainable, so once it all breaks down, who knows?
I didn't know Dark Matter was based off of a comic book. Never got into comics but the show, Dark Matter was some amazing Sci-Fi. Would love to see more of the show.
Dark Matter is one of my all time favorite shows. I love SG-1, I love Atlantis even more, but Dark Matter is right up there with them. Hell, I may like Dark Matter more than SG-1 (don't get me wrong, I'm a huge SG-1 fan, but Dark Matter is a great, great show, too). It's a shame that Baron Destructo hasn't been able to get a mini-series finale done. If I had $10 Million lying around I'd finance it myself. Unfortunately, I'm just a little shy of that number right now. 😉
The Ark by Stargate creator Dean Devlin and SGI's Jonathan Glassner is pretty good and has a positive atmosphere. I'm still waiting to see if they'll ever encounter an alien race, since the antagonists are still humans... Although I think the best science fiction TV series out now is Foundation.
I loved season 3 for picard 😊 it felt like star trek again I think the villian laughing and having fun was us in a weird way lol like yes its fun again adventure ship to ship battles and old new cast. I hope stargate can get it's day again. Apple TV has a monopoly on SCi fi shows at the moment silo severance hello tomorrow foundation dark matter invasion just to name a few lol but theres room again for that big sci fi franchise weekly show thats just fun and adventure and has some humour mixed in. Im hoping for star trek legacy or some form of that. Stargate has that potential to return and have its moment i hope ideas can come together in some way.
For me StarTrek and StarGate are neck-and-neck in being my favorite. StarGate has the edge due to it's humor and setting in our time. I sorely miss Stargate, wish Amazon had picked up the existing characters and storylines and produced a show immediately when they bought it, and hope when they do produce a show that it's not some re-imagined, woke mess that appeals to no one but a sliver of the viewing public, causing it to crash and burn with dismal ratings, killing the franchise altogether.
Stargate has to be a positive, everything will be well at the end show. The fact that they changed that with stargate universe caused the low viewing figures for that show in the first place.
I was surprised when they kept Kiljoys and ended Dark matter. Killjoys was not even in the same league. They left SGU Hanging and too bad they can't do a sequel as they are all too old now. I did not like the Vampire aspect of Atlantis and yet I still watched it and enjoyed it. Then again they did have Momo lol We NEED more show like those and less of what they keep. It seems Netflix and Amazon keep the ones that are crap like rings of power and get rid of the good ones.
I'm not going to knock this newer sci-fi show by name. Saying that how can shows like stargate not get picked back up. Yet shows with cheap sets, poor story telling, and lack luster acting get renewed?
Yeah, i'm afraid any new SG content wouldn't capture the spirit of scifi that are referenced in the video and below. I'm working my way through Continuum, another fun one from the golden age. But modern sci-fi just misses....
I'm telling you: Stargate: Nexus with team leader "clone" Jack O'Neill; team scientist, Cassandra; team anthropologist/diplomat the Tok'ra Charlie, and team muscle Ri'ak. The fight now turns against a one-time "ally," the break-off Asgard who now live in the Pegasus Galaxy. With the fall of the Wraith as a dominant species in Pegasus, the Pegasus Asgard grow aggressive in their belief the both Pegasus and the Milky Way should be theirs. Now the SGC is forced to join forces with the remnant of the Wraith, Todd's followers who no longer depend on humans for food.
even if they were belligerent, as long as asgard can't fix their bodies to be able to create new asgard generation (aka making babies, naturals or not), they have little point to expand and conquer, they better focus on study and researsh to bring back their species to something viable on the long run.
@@lemdoran7397 You're joking right. A species willing to end billions of lives for the sole purposes of their own survival wasn't enough to show them perfectly aggressive enough if given the right motivation? We're talking ten, fifteen, twenty years in the future with a deeply weakened Wraith species. Remind me why they came into the picture in the first place? That's right. They outlived the Asgard they abandoned because they had Loki's ethics. Hence their survival after the end of the other Asgard civilization. Perhaps in the process of "venturing" back into the galaxy, they discover a Tretonin-like "medicine" that helps them stave off their demise. Perhaps we find that substance to be a combination human-Wraith based substance that requires regular doses. Would that not be plausible motivation to drive the conflict?

Real, good sci-fi died with Stargate. Since then it has been mostly absolute garbage with poor writing, casting, sets, etc. More so recently. I liked Dark Matter. But I still wonder if I liked it simply because it was better than all the other crap I was seeing. I think it was just "Okay" in hindsight. Even Expanse is over-ratted. The cast largely sucks, the plots take forever to get anywhere and the payoff isnt that compelling. It was better in the first couple season, but still not THAT great. Again, it just seemed good by comparison to what we were getting. I only watched S1 of Picard, and wrote it off. I hear S3 is good... but only after hearing S2 was absolutely terrible. Knowing how bad STD is... I'm just not motivated to watch it.
Can completely relate to this. The only thing I've been watching is For All Mankind. The expanse: well, have a library of hundreds of scifi books here, they're among my least favorite. Bland scifi, same as the tv-series. Star Trek: stopped watching since the Kurzman era. Star Wars: watched season 1 of the Mandalorian, skipped everything else. There's really nothing anymore that gives me that feeling of "can't wait for the next episode". Except Stargate, keep rewatching that. But the reading I got done these last years of bad television, since I cancelled all streaming years ago, you wouldn't believe 😄
The slow pace of modern shows, like The Expanse, is because they are only telling one story. Stargate, and the original Star Treks where episodic, and so each episode told a story, and in later decades there was often an underlying arc story. But the episodic nature kept the show feeling fast paced.
I felt like Season 3 is what the show should have been from the start, and I am grateful we at least got that. So much better than Nemesis as a TNG send-off. I wonder if the series would have been better received overall if Season 3 had been Season 1.
They ruined Star Trek. This WOKE hollywierd has ruined everything. It's always remake, revisit or sequel this and sequel that. So many stories there to wright and no imagination to wright them.
Stargate has always been the best source of escapism for me. Watching the adventures, humour and great characters always had me invested and I'd forget about reality for the next 40-45 minutes.

The world was more lighthearted when stargate was still airing isn't that sad
Stargate SG1 and Atlantis have always given me hope for the future. I had no idea Joseph Mallozzi is the co-creator of the TV series Dark Matter along with Paul Mullie.
the tone of these shows is what make those older shows so appealing to me.
David, just want to mention, I appreciate your love of the genre and thank you for bringing these legends on to your show.
I started watching SG because I wanted a tv series with an ending - not canceled half way. Ended up being super hooked and watched everything (Atlantis , Universe, movies). Can't believe how much I miss those shows. Dark Matter was a gem. Took me by surprised when they canceled it. Travelers? Still don't get why it was canceled! That show had everything!
Same. I miss Dark Matter so much. Android was so funny.
Apple TV's 'Silo' was well done, Rebecca Ferguson was amazing and I can’t wait for Season 2.😊
I loved "Silo"! Can't wait for Season 2 (and before that, my inevitable rewatch of Season 1).
*SGU & Dark Matter got cancelled just as they were about to take it to the next level*
😪😪
Stargate was an unusual kind of show because it wasn't a traditional sci-fi show since it blended sci-fi elements with that of grounded in reality military drama. This is what I would love to see Stargate continues.
That said I wouldn't mind seeing a new SG1 team alongside the old cast.
I agree about tone of today's sci-fi. Everything is so dark. It's boring. I don't care about the characters. They are hard to root for.
I think it's a stretch to say that today's sci-fi is dark. If anything I think today's audience demands more authenticity than as opposed to camp.
At the moment there is NO new tv series i want to watch. About 15-20 years ago i didnt had enough time to watch all the new stuff, mostly scifi and fantasy (vamp/werewolf), less politics more action and love stories.
The 3 shows I wish I could see continuations on are literally SG:U, Dark Matter and Travelers.
Travelers was really good and original. At times even liked it better than Stargate I must confess...
Ehhh...SGU was just not doing it for me. Dark Matter was trying to hard to emulate Firefly and it just wasn't happening they way they had hoped.
Travelers i remember the first season a while back but i lost track of it after that.
But i did like it.
Same. But instead of Travelers, it's Sanctuary and Warehouse 13.
Thank you both, Joseph and David, for this interview and video!
thankyou for the interview informative, sg1 and atlantis were great

The Sci-Fi (now Syfy) channel ain't what it used to be either.
Stargate was magic. Magic writing, magic everything. Worst decision ever to take fuel away from its fire.
I miss when shows had full seasons too.
I am extremely skeptical about any modern studio trying to do a reboot of Stargate. My trust is really low.
I really hate the fact that all sci-fi is controlled by by money and not the message it sends. The sci-fi universe allows humanity to explore current events and social issues in a different light. It helps us explore what humanity could be without having a predeterminded point of view.
The best SF has healthy mixtures of dark and light eg SG1/A, B5, DS9, etc. SG1/A were beloved partly because of the humor though they had moments of dark eg Jack in elevator when he was captured by Ball.
Given how so much time went by, Stargate's Humanity should be so advanced that having real enemies as a legit threat will be difficult I believe
The 4 ancient races fought each other why would a 5th race be any different?
Either need a way to neutralize gained advantages or yet more enemy escalation.
David has it figured out. Be open to anything. Life does not often go as planned, so plan on the un-expected.
Plan for the worst...Hope for the best.

The series Picard was not well received, with a 57% score on Rotten Tomatoes. So if some watched season 3 and enjoyed it, there aren't many of them.
I felt like Season 3 is what the show should have been from the start, and I am grateful we at least got that. So much better than Nemesis as a TNG send-off. I wonder if the series would have been better received overall if Season 3 had been Season 1.
They ruined Star Trek. This WOKE hollywierd has ruined everything. It's always remake, revisit or sequel this and sequel that. So many stories there to wright and no imagination to wright them.
