Hi, Hungarian guy here. Not a native speaker so sorry for my english. I remember getting hooked on Stargate SG-1 when I was around 12 years old in 1999. I started watching from the beginning of S02. Then when the final episod of S02 aired in hungary the tv channel went bankrupt or I dont know exactly what happend but they disappeared. I didnt know anyting about tv series. I mean they had seasons and etc. I am saying this because the final episode was a cliffhanger of course and I was like... where is the next episode? :D A few years passed when another TV channel continue broadcasting the series with season3 but I was watching it in hungarian dub... so after few years it had another translation team and the voic actors also changed..... so it was not the same. I started watching it in englis from s03. So all I say is this :D Back then I couldnt even imagine that I would watch a podcast with the actors and producers of one of my favourite TV show. This show shaped my childhood, my personality. It had a huge impact on my childhood. So thank you for making these interviews and also thank to the actors and a producers and everyone who were involved making the show.
My favorite Wolsey moment was when he put his suit on in Atlantis and got his glass of wine in his quarters, just to feel like he was home for a few minutes
I hope Mallozi is involved in the speculated new series. He's daily involved with the community and for a lot of fans that would be well earned. PS: The hell with reboot, continue the story!!
which suposed reboot are you speaking of? because if you are talking about continuing SGU i would agree that it needs to be continued. unless you are talking about the stargate origins, that reboot i don't think is any good or workable.
there are 2 things that i would love to personally see. an story arch of the ascended during the events of sg1 and sga and or dig deeper into the past of the alteran history when they first left the Ori galaxy and how they came to be where they ended up in the end. perhaps in sequence of one another shows. where one is showing the ancient past of the alteran when they were on the run from the Ori galaxy and the events leading up to the ascended modern day journey. because the show never really dipped into the reasons why the ascended did what they did except that they didn't interfere with the lower planes. we kind of understand their fundamental reasons for doing so like the example of Anubis and the idea behind the Ori gaining power from the lower planes while being ascended, but don't have a complete full understanding or picture on why other restrictions exist or how they maintain these things. i don't understand why they didn't take advantage of the moment when we used Merlin's weapon to also destroy Anubis. because fighting Anubis in eternal combat sounds more like an band-aide on that situation. they gave Daniel a choice to descend but this was also done with the exception of his memory being wiped, of course it was partially done by Oma i would assume because he got it back partially as well. they could just as easily descend Anubis and wipe his memory and also kill him if needs be. but this plot was avoided completely for some reason. we don't know if an ascended has to choose to ascend or if they could be forced into ascending. so it could be written in the script to be explained, there are a lot of little things such as this that could further expand on this idea of information.
@@chronosschiron i didn't watch discovery because i heard early on what they were planning to do with their series. and i would strongly protest against them if they decided to write a show like that if they go that rout. when i was talking about the Anubis bit. i was thinking they would send him through the supergate only to be destroyed on the other side when marlins weapon activated. but the other idea of forcing him to be human or an symbote without any of his ascended memories intact would have been the better idea. because as i said eternal combat was a stupid plot. i mean does this mean Adria is still an ascended, and is she in eternal combat with morgan le fey? because as far as we know she cannot be destroyed as an ascended being herself. i also wonder if they can extract her knowledge and power, i mean the ark did this by programming the priors into knowing the truth which was used to program the population of the truth of the Ori which made her weaker. but did she still have all the knowledge of the Ori when ascended? we know the power was transferred, but what about the knowledge? this might be the reason why they keep Anubis around, but that's just my speculation.
@@chronosschiron hmn...well that's an interesting idea that i would agree with. i mean i know he's on this planet, but also at the same time he's supposedly locked in eternal combat with Oma de sala. i had an idea like yours once before, but it was fresh on my mind when they stranded him on the planet. but i also remembered Anubis could also float in space as he descended to earth when his ship was destroyed. and maybe there is life on that planet underground i mean. or he could find some kind of creature that has no problem with the cold on that planet and use it as a host. so many ideas floating around my head right now.
Mr. Mallozzi: Thank You (and your family) so much for your blog, it is appreciated by many people, and provides a unique way to keep fans connected to Stargate creators.
+1 for wanting Joseph also as a producer for the new series. Brad and Cooper are great but Joseph also added so much to the series I'd be sad to not see him apart of it.
Proof of the quality of the Stargate franchise: I would rather re-watch Stargate (even though I've seen every episode MANY times) rather than watch 99.9% of any other existing or new tv series. Not only are the episodes still fun to watch for the 50th or 100th time, but they are in a completely different league than 99.9% of anything else. Adding to that, it just happens that the very few tv series that I do watch and like, other than Stargate, have been written or produced by the same people who were involved with creating Stargate (and I did not realize it at first). That says A LOT about the people involved with creating Stargate series. And I really try to like new tv series that have come about since Stargate, because I love long form, serialized storytelling, and really want something NEW to watch - but most tv series these days are SO BAD, that I would much rather re-watch something I've already seen a hundred times. For instance, I really got invested in the characters and story of TWD in Season 1, but the quality went downhill fast right after Frank Darabont was fired.
the way you talk tells me you might not have seen the third and fourth season of TWD. If you got turned off by season 2, then go ahead and restart the series, becasue it gets fantastic. then it gets dodgy again. but then back to fantastic.
SciFi and Fantasy are HUGELY popular right now -- they're experiencing and absolute renaissance from GOT to the new Star Wars films to the The Witcher and The Mandalorian. A StarGate series, done properly, would be a massive success!
I only watched all the films and series in the last 4 weeks for the first time and it has been an amazing experience! I look forward to watching more of these interviews! 😄
@@DialtheGate You're very much welcome and I forgot to add that fortunately I was able to follow along in chat and it made it feel like I was there. Also, thanks for keeping the dream alive.
Finally watched DTG S1E3 and here are my comments on some of the topics Twitter Storm - I was one of those who didn't find out until after it was done because I was on deployment at the time. Reboot - Please no reboots. A new series to tie up loose ends and continue the story is ideal. Keep it current, no future or prequel series - Not a fan of these either, just stay with the formula that works and don't wreck it by experimenting. Flashback and flashforward scenes are okay and have been done before. Moon base - Space 1999 here we come. I like the concept and hope it works. D&D - this brought back memories of 1986 when I played the first time. Wow! Emancipation - I would love to hear the writer's comments that David was talking about who changed his mind because even though I don't like this episode, I am open to new information to help me appreciate it. Time Travel episodes - Normally I cringe at time travel, alternate reality, alternate universe, etc because Star Trek severely abused it, even Gene Roddenberry had second thoughts after he used it the first time. Fortunately Stargate didn't abuse it like Star Trek and hopefully that will be the case in the future and to only use it when all the writers are simply gasping for air because they can't think of anything else. Stargate disclosure Stargate Extinction - simply put I want to know more about this. Sam Jack relationship - Coming from a military background, this scenario never interested me because I've seen a lot of these relationships and marriages fall apart or cause extreme stress in the workplace and I felt Stargate didn't need to venture down this road. Personally it wouldn't bother me if they all had families but never saw them because they kept work and family life separate. I did that for 20 years and most people didn't even know I had a family. Woolsey - I hated his character at first but I loved the way he came around. Not very often you have a bad guy with principles and morals who turns into a good guy with principles and morals adjusted to experience. Killing Janet - I will never forgive you guys for this. Asgard resurrection SGA S6 - As soon as I saw the bad Asgard this is what I felt was coming around but nope, somebody dropped the ball. The Genii - I got the feeling they were modeled off the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba. Anna Grauer scene at beginning of Atlantis - I didn't get the impression they were arguing, I thought they were disappointed they had to go their separate ways because she was infected. Personally if I were him I would've stayed with her, that's just me. Horses in Gateroom - As spookish as horses are, you would have a hard time trying to get horses near the gate when activated and next to impossible to walk through that puddle without blindfolding and medicating them to calm them down. I wanted to ask Joe about the Ascended beings, Others that were in the Ascended Diner that Daniel went to. That gave me the impression there are other "higher beings" than the Aciencts and Ori. @AngelSpirit asked about Air dates of episodes in chat. - The DVDs are in US broadcast order and Wikipedia lists them in order originally broadcasted regardless of country of origin but they do list the Canadian, UK, and US of different airdate episodes in the comments. - There is a suggested viewing list on Gateway.com somewhere but I don't have the link nor have I ever seen it but someone mentioned it in chat and I've seen it mentioned on Fandom and Reddit also. - For my use I copied the information in Wikipedia into Word and put in US broadcast order. Then for the multi-part episodes when SG-1 and SGA aired concurrently I listed them together before going to the next episode of SG-1 or SGA, depending on what series the multi-part belonged to. Doing this puts everything in perspective and doesn't create any gaps at the end of the seasons these two series ran concurrently. - You also have to fit the two SG-1 movies in their correct spot in the timeline as well. "The Ark of Truth" begins after "SG-1 S10:E20 Unending" but before "SGA S3:20 First Strike." "Continuum: begins after "SGA S5:E1 Search and Rescue" and before "SGA S5:E2 The Seed." David, I love your house as a Stargate museum , it's something I wanted to do if I ever won the lottery right down to the SGC and Atlantis themed rooms. @FreeSpirit999 I've got some Furlings of my own to feed and herd on a daily basis so I feel your pain or joy. David, please tell moderator Ian no hard feelings.😉
the next time your internet starts being shit. when watching youtube, turn your resolution all the way down to 144p. it works great especailly for podcasts on the internet, i do this all the time to reduce my data use and also so when my internet is being crap. another cool thing to do when the internet is good is download a browser app called brave it's on pc and android, which has a built in adblocker which also helps with internet usage and prevents ads that would use higher resolutions from showing up at all so you can continue to watch the video you are watching. it's a great app that everyone should be using to be honest. it also has continued support.
@@5226-p1e Thanks for the advice, I'll try the resolution tip tonight. Eventually got a better data plan and that solved the problem and rebooting my hotspot takes care of the problem also under the new data plan. I've got ad blocker and a lot of sites hate it and ask me to turn it off if I want to read their content. I normally don't do it unless I trust the site. Funny thing is I was getting prompted to turn my ad blocker off before I ever downloaded it. Found out my anti-virus software was doing it but I never knew about it.
Really sad I missed this live stream! I would have loved to ask about episode 100 and 200. How and why Wormhole X-treme came to be. And also if they ever planned a full episode of that "show".
Made it halfway through this first one. Great stuff. I have to ask if any episode or interview ever deals with the infamous "Universal English" problem. It's honestly made it hard to rewatch the shows for me, though I used to love them....
I have a great idea for a "jumping off point" for a new series, that considers new viewers, and it's something that Stargate has (kind of) already done, in a way: Something like the Daniel Jackson "video series" shown to the new characters in SGU. Actually, an ENTIRE SERIES could be done on this premise, and it could be very interesting, but it doesn't have to be a stand alone series, it could be just a part of the new series, or an "extra" webisode type thing - based on one part of Stargate that everyone loves, the "Indiana Jones" type of episodes where Daniel Jackson and others not only search for artifacts & knowledge, but *provides a way to explain the past (canon) to new viewers.* This aligns perfectly with the fact that the Stargate story has a lot to do with artifacts, symbols, and the alchemy side of it all. Even though the ancient Egyptian part of Stargate is mostly fiction, it is still interesting and provides the same MEANING as ancient facts in real life. Stargate made learning about geometry, alchemy, ancient Egypt, etc VERY INTERESTING TO ME, it caused me (and I'm sure many others) to learn a lot about these things, because of how it's made so interesting in the series.
We should establish a system where we could send one question per person in advance as we know the announced guests. You could select the most guest relevant or interesting ones as you prepare for the interview while a few ones could be read up from the live chat.
The problem with sending in questions in advance is that you won't be able to ask any questions that follows up on something the guest has said earlier in the interview, like if they say something interesting that you'd like them to elaborate on. It also takes away from the whole "interactive" feeling if questions from the chat get ignored, kind of undermines the live stream aspect of it.
@@UGLYP1G Well, you are right. When the channel will have a weekly routine then everything will go even easier as they get more experience. I knew that Joe won't be allowed to talk about anything as he is a producer and writer, so he has to maintain his pokerface even under fan pressure. Everbody is excited about the potential 4th series, but it is a top secret project, so he can't confirm character relationships, Furlings or any other creative decisions yet. My original question would have been how he can seperate the job, the inner fan and his private life. I mean he has got a deeper view and expeiences how a show is developed and about casting, writing, props, sets, vfxs, crew needs, shooting episodes, because this is essentially his job. Obviously he has turned into a fan of his own show which is handy as well, but it must be hard when people wants to know you only for extra informations and stories and ask the same things over and over, but they are not interested in the "real" Joe just the "producer Joe". I hope he will be invited back to the next SG writer room and he will stay as the main PR person for the SG franchise.
I always thought of SG-1 and Atlantis as like adventure heroes, that could fit in to just about any comic group jack, John, Ronon , others could hang with most comic heroes, but universe was like not the heroes not the A-team they was the normal military... the more average people dealing with this huge plot, this huge overwhelming situation and still dealing with it. Cause all of our military and all people can step up at any time and that darker personality quirks come out more the stress, the anger, that normal everyday responses.
if those characters are normal people, no wonder the whole world is slowly going to shit. 😕 i re-watched the show recently, and what a bunch of incompetant, stupid and untrustworthy jackasses. most of the drama relies on shitty decisions and character conflict. ugh.
I have a pitch for the fourth series; The Goa'uld are pretty much reduced to next to nothing. The Asgard gave all their technology to the Tau'ri and declared them the Fifth Race before ending their own race. Atlantis is neatly parked in the Pacific. The possible new show should pick up on that. Here's my ideas for the story (I actually picked up on someone else's idea of Earth being the major power of the galaxy and spun from that): The Tau'ri are now the most powerful faction in the Milky Way, the capital is Atlantis (statues of the most prominent members of the Expedition situated there). They acquired several formal allies among the minor races (Tollan remnant, maybe?). The other major factions are the Free Jaffa Nation and the Tok'ra, both non-allied to the Tau'ri with the Jaffa more friendly. There are understandable tensions between the Jaffa and the Tok'ra. Minority of the Jaffa reverted back to Goa'uld worship and are mercilessly hunted by the free Jaffa. The Stargate is made public. Jack O'Neill, Daniel, Sam Carter and Teal'c are now legends (their statues standing proudly in the Hall of the Stargate) with Teal'c regarded as a living god among the free Jaffa. Samantha Carter Extraterrestrial Technology Research Institute. Dr. Jackson's Center for Study of Alien Cultures. Minnesota renamed O'Neillia (maybe not:). Some countries like USA, Russia, China and Germany/EU/German-French Coalition are trying to forge their own interstellar domains. The matter of the ownership of Atlantis is the subject of a long and heated debate inside the UN or G7. From time to time there could be an update on the Destiny crew's progress, maybe even an occasional episode entirely dedicated to it (I'm sure SGU fans would appreciate that). The show would start with internal problems of the Tau'ri and Jaffa and their uneasy relationship with each other with the Tok'ra having trouble getting enough voluntary hosts and their tensions with the Jaffa. Eventually, we would learn the Destiny crew alerted someone powerful to the existence of the Milky Way galaxy and Tau'ri Confederation (or whatever). These mysterious entities are racing toward Earth presumably with ill intentions. When they arrive they claim they are being hunted by evil ones. With the introduction of these pursuers things will get even more interesting. The hunted appear good from the human perspective but evil from the perspective of the hunters. Both of these are powerful enough to be considered a possible threat to the Milky Way galaxy or at the very least the Tau'ri Hegemony (or whatever). Anyway, the least they should do is to honor Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis and at least acknowledge the existence of SGU. And REMEMBER: absolutely NO PREQUEL and definitely NO REBOOT.
I've got a question. Considering how BRILLIANT and spot on the young actors' portrayal of Hammond was in 1969, why didn't you have him on MUCH MORE? His Hammond is hilarious even if his eye and hair color change
I think that the only time O'Neill lost his cool with someone was in Scorched Earth. He punched the guy, and put his gun on the guy's chest. You could see the anger on O'Neill's face.
1:19:15 "...if you could put the main cast of Dark Matter into a Star Gate series, what sort of roles would be perfect for them?" Well, i haven't seen anything about that series (no even a trailer). But based on Jos's description, i would say SG:AT (Star Gate: Assault Team)...all action, no science...:)
@@icoborg hmn. that's a good point if it's cheap enough to do of course. if not it might be cheaper to say his cloning was slightly imperfect to the point where his facial features made him look different. it's probably going to be done by the cheaper choice tbh....i loved the deep fake they did for the movie Gemini with will smith.
If they reboot, they should make the old shows the new universes version of Wormhole eXtreme. Would open up lots of cameo opportunities. They could make it darker, clean up some of the rules that were kind of bad like zat's 3 shot thing.
Re: time loops... I wonder how "Russian Doll" (Netflix) would measure up on his scale of what makes a good time loop story? I personally thought it we probably one of the best time loop stories I've ever heard/seen... The Curse is one of my favorite episodes of SG-1... Especially in the early years. I found there to be some weak episodes in the first 2 or even 3 seasons especially. Not that there weren't any good obese, there were! But the number of mediocre episodes dropped significantly! Window Of Opportunity was also great!
I wonder how they would even save destiny: would they try to reach it by ship? Stargate? I believe their is something about destiny's gates being unreachable from a long distance, because they had to produce and deploy them on seed ships in a straight line. Perhaps using ancient technology to reach it by gate, or construct and send a ship to reinforce the destiny expedition and use it to explore new peoples and galaxies.
According to the writers and little hints you see throughout the series, they did but it was never made onscreen or obvious so fans who don't watch that closely wouldn't pick up on it. It was supposed to be confirmed clearly in the third Stargate movie that MGM cancelled.
On the point about the Tau'ri being too powerful; not really, because they were still outnumbered. They got a technological edge, but still didn't have the numbers of ships needed to even take on a serious Jaffa attack using a bunch of old Goa'uld Hat'aks. The Shield strength gave them enough power to stick with a fight against superior numbers, but not indefinitely. The Tau'ri needed time to expand their space naval forces.
If you want to get an idea of what that strange pattern within the cosmic microwave background radiation discovered by the Ancients could be, check out this video on Conformal Cyclic Cosmology by PBS Space Time: th-cam.com/video/PC2JOQ7z5L0/w-d-xo.html Basically, CCC states that to measure time you need mass. But since both at the beginning of the Universe and at the end there was and will be only radiation, there is no time. That means that beginning and end are pretty much identical, i.e. the end of the Universe will give rise to a new one. Theoretically, a highly advanced species could use this to communicate across Universes and this act of communication would manifest as a weird pattern within the cosmic microwave background radiation of the new Universe. At least that's how far I have understood it. It's all based on the works of Roger Penrose and he himself thought it's probably not even true, but it's a cool concept.
In production of new show they should look at the new X files. There was a major problem with the script, but there were many other mistakes. The first thing that strikes everyone is, of course, the overall visual. They tried to make it a modern show, but it didn't work for me as a person who watched the original. Stargate SG1 and Atlantis had their typical, very simple and iconic visual (color palette, camera, etc.). In my opinion, this is something that should not change, because if someone is already used to something, it is not very pleasant for them to adapt to something else ...especially when it is not better done at all. What the new X files also showed is that the show, which was built into a 20 episode series, just doesn't work as a miniseries. I understand that the creators would like to bring this fourth series to new audiences, but I don't think any of the fans want a completely new thing. Most of the original actors said they would like to return to the series. So, in my opinion, no more characters are needed. They should just do it the same way it was. It worked and it will continue to work. ...as excellent 10. series of Roseanne. And one last thing. In my opinion, it is no longer possible to follow up on SGU, as Destiny's crew put themselves into cryosleep, which means that they will not grow old ...but that cannot be said about the actors... So why start with that at all? There are so many unfinished business in the Milky Way and Pegasus that would be much more interesting to solve.
I understand your perspective and your desire... But I honestly can not see that actually working out... A lot of time had passed, things have changed. They can't just pick up where they left off, or continue on their merry little, light hearted adventures. And although it seems you weren't a fan of SGU and you want to erase that from existence. I'm addition to the fact that I find your argument against including anything SGU related to be completely invalid and contrived, there were a LOT of Stargate fans who loved SGU. And while the characters were very flawed and unlikable, the premise of the series was awesome & amazing! And assuming they came out of stasis as planned, those actors are younger and the aging wouldn't be a big deal. The story would obviously have to pick up in the current day, not where we left off, or even right after they came out of stasis. Anyway, they definitely need some new blood for a new series! That's just a given, and totally obvious! And I trust that they will create some truly awesome new characters for us to get to know & love! But they should absolutely maintain a significant ensemble of old, familiar faces in recurring supporting roles. I also feel that the Destiny should not be the main focus of a new series, but it should not be ignored either! The fans who were loyal, and who actually DID support the franchise for ALL of the series deserve some answers and closure. And there is MUCH to learn from the Destiny and all the data she had collected!
stargate universe the best of the three ? eww 🤮 i'll agree that this series had great storytelling elements, the ship's navigations being out of their hands, limited time to explore the different planet, being chased by aliens obsessed with the destiny, all that was good. the final episodes ? they were amazing. but everything else ? what a dumpster fire... i absolutely hated how everyone was stupid and/or untrustworthy. Rush basically killed people and endangered the whole ship multiple times by being a selfish prick and hiding that he found the bridge. Rather than just venting the atmosphere of the gate room, Everett decides to go bang bang, hereby risking the lives of his entire crew and waste his limited stock of ammo to save the sorry ass of just one guy, resulting in the death of multiple people. they also just trash the priceless million-year-old shuttles like complete morons, and i'm not talking about all of the engineered drama like the shithead who tries to dial the gate when they are desperately tyring to keep a low profile to hide from the tech-killer drones. long story short, the whole cast was a fucking train wreck. half of them should have been locked down in there quarters definitely and/or replaced using the stones.
In many ways I though SGU was my favorite of the Stargate series... Although, it doesn't seem right to call it the best when it only ran for 2 seasons. How I do feel that it would've ended up be the best in many ways had it been given the chance to run for 5-6 seasons. At the same time, I totally agree with everything else you talked about that upset you! Col. Young's failure to eliminate the Lucian Alliance attackers was especially infuriating, and really write irresponsible and unrealistic! Although a few of those characters are critical to later episodes... Malace was one of the best of the series IMO. And Eli's relationship with Gyn was one of my favorite events, even though it was very short lived. At least she was still in the computer... And I'm stuff that doesn't make any sense. And I don't even know how to explain it at the moment. But it had to do with how rewarding it was when people finally did do the right thing, or learn to get along, forgive each other, etc. I also really loved the premise and the Destiny itself tremendously. Although nearly all of the characters are quite flawed in various ways, we got to know them intimately and it was very rewarding to see them working through their issues, internally and among each other, and generally becoming stronger and growing up, and stepping up & excelling.
Hi,
Hungarian guy here. Not a native speaker so sorry for my english.
I remember getting hooked on Stargate SG-1 when I was around 12 years old in 1999. I started watching from the beginning of S02. Then when the final episod of S02 aired in hungary the tv channel went bankrupt or I dont know exactly what happend but they disappeared. I didnt know anyting about tv series.

I started watching it in englis from s03.
So all I say is this :D Back then I couldnt even imagine that I would watch a podcast with the actors and producers of one of my favourite TV show. This show shaped my childhood, my personality. It had a huge impact on my childhood.
So thank you for making these interviews and also thank to the actors and a producers and everyone who were involved making the show.

I hope Mallozi is involved in the speculated new series. He's daily involved with the community and for a lot of fans that would be well earned. PS: The hell with reboot, continue the story!!
@@chronosschiron I just hope Mark Ilvedson is not involved in any way.
which suposed reboot are you speaking of?
because if you are talking about continuing SGU i would agree that it needs to be continued.
unless you are talking about the stargate origins, that reboot i don't think is any good or workable.
there are 2 things that i would love to personally see. an story arch of the ascended during the events of sg1 and sga and or dig deeper into the past of the alteran history when they first left the Ori galaxy and how they came to be where they ended up in the end.
perhaps in sequence of one another shows. where one is showing the ancient past of the alteran when they were on the run from the Ori galaxy and the events leading up to the ascended modern day journey.
because the show never really dipped into the reasons why the ascended did what they did except that they didn't interfere with the lower planes. we kind of understand their fundamental reasons for doing so like the example of Anubis and the idea behind the Ori gaining power from the lower planes while being ascended, but don't have a complete full understanding or picture on why other restrictions exist or how they maintain these things.
i don't understand why they didn't take advantage of the moment when we used Merlin's weapon to also destroy Anubis. because fighting Anubis in eternal combat sounds more like an band-aide on that situation.
they gave Daniel a choice to descend but this was also done with the exception of his memory being wiped, of course it was partially done by Oma i would assume because he got it back partially as well.
they could just as easily descend Anubis and wipe his memory and also kill him if needs be. but this plot was avoided completely for some reason. we don't know if an ascended has to choose to ascend or if they could be forced into ascending. so it could be written in the script to be explained, there are a lot of little things such as this that could further expand on this idea of information.
@@chronosschiron
i didn't watch discovery because i heard early on what they were planning to do with their series.
and i would strongly protest against them if they decided to write a show like that if they go that rout.
when i was talking about the Anubis bit. i was thinking they would send him through the supergate only to be destroyed on the other side when marlins weapon activated.
but the other idea of forcing him to be human or an symbote without any of his ascended memories intact would have been the better idea. because as i said eternal combat was a stupid plot. i mean does this mean Adria is still an ascended, and is she in eternal combat with morgan le fey?
because as far as we know she cannot be destroyed as an ascended being herself.
i also wonder if they can extract her knowledge and power, i mean the ark did this by programming the priors into knowing the truth which was used to program the population of the truth of the Ori which made her weaker. but did she still have all the knowledge of the Ori when ascended? we know the power was transferred, but what about the knowledge?
this might be the reason why they keep Anubis around, but that's just my speculation.
@@chronosschiron
hmn...well that's an interesting idea that i would agree with. i mean i know he's on this planet, but also at the same time he's supposedly locked in eternal combat with Oma de sala.
i had an idea like yours once before, but it was fresh on my mind when they stranded him on the planet.
but i also remembered Anubis could also float in space as he descended to earth when his ship was destroyed. and maybe there is life on that planet underground i mean. or he could find some kind of creature that has no problem with the cold on that planet and use it as a host.
so many ideas floating around my head right now.
Mr. Mallozzi: Thank You (and your family) so much for your blog, it is appreciated by many people, and provides a unique way to keep fans connected to Stargate creators.
+1 for wanting Joseph also as a producer for the new series. Brad and Cooper are great but Joseph also added so much to the series I'd be sad to not see him apart of it.
Thank you for this David....
Thank You. Joseph Mallozzi is a Brillant Writer, And in My Opinion Learning Curve is The Best All Time SG1 Episode.
Loving the serpant guard behind you!
Proof of the quality of the Stargate franchise: I would rather re-watch Stargate (even though I've seen every episode MANY times) rather than watch 99.9% of any other existing or new tv series. Not only are the episodes still fun to watch for the 50th or 100th time, but they are in a completely different league than 99.9% of anything else. Adding to that, it just happens that the very few tv series that I do watch and like, other than Stargate, have been written or produced by the same people who were involved with creating Stargate (and I did not realize it at first). That says A LOT about the people involved with creating Stargate series.
And I really try to like new tv series that have come about since Stargate, because I love long form, serialized storytelling, and really want something NEW to watch - but most tv series these days are SO BAD, that I would much rather re-watch something I've already seen a hundred times. For instance, I really got invested in the characters and story of TWD in Season 1, but the quality went downhill fast right after Frank Darabont was fired.
the way you talk tells me you might not have seen the third and fourth season of TWD. If you got turned off by season 2, then go ahead and restart the series, becasue it gets fantastic. then it gets dodgy again. but then back to fantastic.
Thank you both. Always good to get the writers’ perspectives as well as cast.
I wanna thanks for this channel, im watching a few clips every day, and you regularly post new ones every day, im very thankful! :)
Had to watch it again finding myself treating these like Stargate and get the re-watches in ^^. Much love.
SciFi and Fantasy are HUGELY popular right now -- they're experiencing and absolute renaissance from GOT to the new Star Wars films to the The Witcher and The Mandalorian. A StarGate series, done properly, would be a massive success!
I only watched all the films and series in the last 4 weeks for the first time and it has been an amazing experience! I look forward to watching more of these interviews! 😄
Enjoy!!
FYI this was a great interview, thank you for this.
Love stargate rewatching atlantis would buy immediately any network sub that goes after stargate again
D'oh!...I so totally missed this one, I mean for crying out loud....
@Jeff Davis 😤
Unfortunately I couldn't watch the live stream due to poor internet but I was able to watch the comments with minimum delay, almost live.
Thanks so much!!
@@DialtheGate You're very much welcome and I forgot to add that fortunately I was able to follow along in chat and it made it feel like I was there.
Also, thanks for keeping the dream alive.
Finally watched DTG S1E3 and here are my comments on some of the topics
Twitter Storm
- I was one of those who didn't find out until after it was done because I was on deployment at the time.
Reboot
- Please no reboots. A new series to tie up loose ends and continue the story is ideal.
Keep it current, no future or prequel series
- Not a fan of these either, just stay with the formula that works and don't wreck it by experimenting. Flashback and flashforward scenes are okay and have been done before.
Moon base
- Space 1999 here we come. I like the concept and hope it works.
D&D
- this brought back memories of 1986 when I played the first time. Wow!
Emancipation
- I would love to hear the writer's comments that David was talking about who changed his mind because even though I don't like this episode, I am open to new information to help me appreciate it.
Time Travel episodes
- Normally I cringe at time travel, alternate reality, alternate universe, etc because Star Trek severely abused it, even Gene Roddenberry had second thoughts after he used it the first time. Fortunately Stargate didn't abuse it like Star Trek and hopefully that will be the case in the future and to only use it when all the writers are simply gasping for air because they can't think of anything else.
Stargate disclosure Stargate Extinction
- simply put I want to know more about this.
Sam Jack relationship
- Coming from a military background, this scenario never interested me because I've seen a lot of these relationships and marriages fall apart or cause extreme stress in the workplace and I felt Stargate didn't need to venture down this road. Personally it wouldn't bother me if they all had families but never saw them because they kept work and family life separate. I did that for 20 years and most people didn't even know I had a family.
Woolsey
- I hated his character at first but I loved the way he came around. Not very often you have a bad guy with principles and morals who turns into a good guy with principles and morals adjusted to experience.
Killing Janet
- I will never forgive you guys for this.
Asgard resurrection SGA S6
- As soon as I saw the bad Asgard this is what I felt was coming around but nope, somebody dropped the ball.
The Genii - I got the feeling they were modeled off the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba.
Anna Grauer scene at beginning of Atlantis - I didn't get the impression they were arguing, I thought they were disappointed they had to go their separate ways because she was infected. Personally if I were him I would've stayed with her, that's just me.
Horses in Gateroom - As spookish as horses are, you would have a hard time trying to get horses near the gate
when activated and next to impossible to walk through that puddle without blindfolding and medicating them to calm them down.
I wanted to ask Joe about the Ascended beings, Others that were in the Ascended Diner that Daniel went to. That gave me the impression there are other "higher beings" than the Aciencts and Ori.
@AngelSpirit asked about Air dates of episodes in chat.
- The DVDs are in US broadcast order and Wikipedia lists them in order originally broadcasted regardless of country of origin but they do list the Canadian, UK, and US of different airdate episodes in the comments.
- There is a suggested viewing list on Gateway.com somewhere but I don't have the link nor have I ever seen it but someone mentioned it in chat and I've seen it mentioned on Fandom and Reddit also.
- For my use I copied the information in Wikipedia into Word and put in US broadcast order. Then for the multi-part episodes when SG-1 and SGA aired concurrently I listed them together before going to the next episode of SG-1 or SGA, depending on what series the multi-part belonged to. Doing this puts everything in perspective and doesn't create any gaps at the end of the seasons these two series ran concurrently.
- You also have to fit the two SG-1 movies in their correct spot in the timeline as well. "The Ark of Truth" begins after "SG-1 S10:E20 Unending" but before "SGA S3:20 First Strike." "Continuum: begins after "SGA S5:E1 Search and Rescue" and before "SGA S5:E2 The Seed."
David, I love your house as a Stargate museum
, it's something I wanted to do if I ever won the lottery right down to the SGC and Atlantis themed rooms.
@FreeSpirit999 I've got some Furlings of my own to feed and herd on a daily basis so I feel your pain or joy.
David, please tell moderator Ian no hard feelings.😉
the next time your internet starts being shit. when watching youtube, turn your resolution all the way down to 144p. it works great especailly for podcasts on the internet, i do this all the time to reduce my data use and also so when my internet is being crap.
another cool thing to do when the internet is good is download a browser app called brave it's on pc and android, which has a built in adblocker which also helps with internet usage and prevents ads that would use higher resolutions from showing up at all so you can continue to watch the video you are watching.
it's a great app that everyone should be using to be honest. it also has continued support.
@@5226-p1e Thanks for the advice, I'll try the resolution tip tonight. Eventually got a better data plan and that solved the problem and rebooting my hotspot takes care of the problem also under the new data plan.
I've got ad blocker and a lot of sites hate it and ask me to turn it off if I want to read their content. I normally don't do it unless I trust the site. Funny thing is I was getting prompted to turn my ad blocker off before I ever downloaded it. Found out my anti-virus software was doing it but I never knew about it.
What a Stunningly good start.
Really sad I missed this live stream! I would have loved to ask about episode 100 and 200. How and why Wormhole X-treme came to be. And also if they ever planned a full episode of that "show".
Made it halfway through this first one. Great stuff. I have to ask if any episode or interview ever deals with the infamous "Universal English" problem. It's honestly made it hard to rewatch the shows for me, though I used to love them....
Good stuff! Thank you both.
i like this guy. great interview
good job
Hey I like the shirt & tie. Great professional look! I just subscribed. Seen your work earlier this year.
8:45 spot on, spot on! I love SG:1 growing arcs and characters. Not some episodic stuff! It mattered!
I have a great idea for a "jumping off point" for a new series, that considers new viewers, and it's something that Stargate has (kind of) already done, in a way: Something like the Daniel Jackson "video series" shown to the new characters in SGU. Actually, an ENTIRE SERIES could be done on this premise, and it could be very interesting, but it doesn't have to be a stand alone series, it could be just a part of the new series, or an "extra" webisode type thing - based on one part of Stargate that everyone loves, the "Indiana Jones" type of episodes where Daniel Jackson and others not only search for artifacts & knowledge, but *provides a way to explain the past (canon) to new viewers.*
This aligns perfectly with the fact that the Stargate story has a lot to do with artifacts, symbols, and the alchemy side of it all. Even though the ancient Egyptian part of Stargate is mostly fiction, it is still interesting and provides the same MEANING as ancient facts in real life. Stargate made learning about geometry, alchemy, ancient Egypt, etc VERY INTERESTING TO ME, it caused me (and I'm sure many others) to learn a lot about these things, because of how it's made so interesting in the series.
We should establish a system where we could send one question per person in advance as we know the announced guests. You could select the most guest relevant or interesting ones as you prepare for the interview while a few ones could be read up from the live chat.
The problem with sending in questions in advance is that you won't be able to ask any questions that follows up on something the guest has said earlier in the interview, like if they say something interesting that you'd like them to elaborate on. It also takes away from the whole "interactive" feeling if questions from the chat get ignored, kind of undermines the live stream aspect of it.
@@UGLYP1G Well, you are right. When the channel will have a weekly routine then everything will go even easier as they get more experience.
I knew that Joe won't be allowed to talk about anything as he is a producer and writer, so he has to maintain his pokerface even under fan pressure. Everbody is excited about the potential 4th series, but it is a top secret project, so he can't confirm character relationships, Furlings or any other creative decisions yet.
My original question would have been how he can seperate the job, the inner fan and his private life. I mean he has got a deeper view and expeiences how a show is developed and about casting, writing, props, sets, vfxs, crew needs, shooting episodes, because this is essentially his job. Obviously he has turned into a fan of his own show which is handy as well, but it must be hard when people wants to know you only for extra informations and stories and ask the same things over and over, but they are not interested in the "real" Joe just the "producer Joe". I hope he will be invited back to the next SG writer room and he will stay as the main PR person for the SG franchise.
1:27:54 👍👍👍👍👍
I always thought of SG-1 and Atlantis as like adventure heroes, that could fit in to just about any comic group jack, John, Ronon , others could hang with most comic heroes, but universe was like not the heroes not the A-team they was the normal military... the more average people dealing with this huge plot, this huge overwhelming situation and still dealing with it. Cause all of our military and all people can step up at any time and that darker personality quirks come out more the stress, the anger, that normal everyday responses.
if those characters are normal people, no wonder the whole world is slowly going to shit. 😕
i re-watched the show recently, and what a bunch of incompetant, stupid and untrustworthy jackasses. most of the drama relies on shitty decisions and character conflict. ugh.
@@Lapantouflemagic0
your talking about SGU right?
David, forgot to mention but it would be nice to see your collection so please film your hallways.
One day I will give a tour of the house.
Yes please lets get it!! :D
I have a pitch for the fourth series;
The Goa'uld are pretty much reduced to next to nothing. The Asgard gave all their technology to the Tau'ri and
declared them the Fifth Race before ending their own race. Atlantis is neatly parked in the Pacific. The possible
new show should pick up on that.
Here's my ideas for the story (I actually picked up on someone else's idea of Earth being the major power of the
galaxy and spun from that):
The Tau'ri are now the most powerful faction in the Milky Way, the capital is Atlantis (statues of the most
prominent members of the Expedition situated there). They acquired several formal allies among the minor races
(Tollan remnant, maybe?). The other major factions are the Free Jaffa Nation and the Tok'ra, both non-allied to
the Tau'ri with the Jaffa more friendly. There are understandable tensions between the Jaffa and the Tok'ra.
Minority of the Jaffa reverted back to Goa'uld worship and are mercilessly hunted by the free Jaffa. The Stargate
is made public. Jack O'Neill, Daniel, Sam Carter and Teal'c are now legends (their statues standing proudly in the
Hall of the Stargate) with Teal'c regarded as a living god among the free Jaffa. Samantha Carter Extraterrestrial
Technology Research Institute. Dr. Jackson's Center for Study of Alien Cultures. Minnesota renamed O'Neillia
(maybe not:). Some countries like USA, Russia, China and Germany/EU/German-French Coalition are trying to forge
their own interstellar domains. The matter of the ownership of Atlantis is the subject of a long and heated debate
inside the UN or G7. From time to time there could be an update on the Destiny crew's progress, maybe even an
occasional episode entirely dedicated to it (I'm sure SGU fans would appreciate that).
The show would start with internal problems of the Tau'ri and Jaffa and their uneasy relationship with each other
with the Tok'ra having trouble getting enough voluntary hosts and their tensions with the Jaffa.
Eventually, we would learn the Destiny crew alerted someone powerful to the existence of the Milky Way galaxy and
Tau'ri Confederation (or whatever). These mysterious entities are racing toward Earth presumably with ill
intentions. When they arrive they claim they are being hunted by evil ones. With the introduction of these
pursuers things will get even more interesting. The hunted appear good from the human perspective but evil from
the perspective of the hunters. Both of these are powerful enough to be considered a possible threat to the Milky
Way galaxy or at the very least the Tau'ri Hegemony (or whatever).
Anyway, the least they should do is to honor Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis and at least acknowledge the existence of
SGU.
And REMEMBER: absolutely NO PREQUEL and definitely NO REBOOT.
An ending to dark matter would have been nice dug that show.
I've got a question.
Considering how BRILLIANT and spot on the young actors' portrayal of Hammond was in 1969, why didn't you have him on MUCH MORE?
His Hammond is hilarious even if his eye and hair color change
I think that the only time O'Neill lost his cool with someone was in Scorched Earth. He punched the guy, and put his gun on the guy's chest. You could see the anger on O'Neill's face.
1:19:15 "...if you could put the main cast of Dark Matter into a Star Gate series, what sort of roles would be perfect for them?" Well, i haven't seen anything about that series (no even a trailer). But based on Jos's description, i would say SG:AT (Star Gate: Assault Team)...all action, no science...:)
technically we still have a young o'neill
going to have to explain why he looks way different as an adult.
@@5226-p1e that's easy deepfake problem solved
@@icoborg
hmn. that's a good point if it's cheap enough to do of course.
if not it might be cheaper to say his cloning was slightly imperfect to the point where his facial features made him look different.
it's probably going to be done by the cheaper choice tbh....i loved the deep fake they did for the movie Gemini with will smith.
If they reboot, they should make the old shows the new universes version of Wormhole eXtreme. Would open up lots of cameo opportunities. They could make it darker, clean up some of the rules that were kind of bad like zat's 3 shot thing.
Re: time loops... I wonder how "Russian Doll" (Netflix) would measure up on his scale of what makes a good time loop story?
I personally thought it we probably one of the best time loop stories I've ever heard/seen...
The Curse is one of my favorite episodes of SG-1... Especially in the early years. I found there to be some weak episodes in the first 2 or even 3 seasons especially. Not that there weren't any good obese, there were! But the number of mediocre episodes dropped significantly!
Window Of Opportunity was also great!
I wonder how they would even save destiny: would they try to reach it by ship? Stargate? I believe their is something about destiny's gates being unreachable from a long distance, because they had to produce and deploy them on seed ships in a straight line.
Perhaps using ancient technology to reach it by gate, or construct and send a ship to reinforce the destiny expedition and use it to explore new peoples and galaxies.
Noises noises rattle in the night ..
I thought Sam/Jack got together when Jack left command of the SGC. I thought that was obvious.
According to the writers and little hints you see throughout the series, they did but it was never made onscreen or obvious so fans who don't watch that closely wouldn't pick up on it. It was supposed to be confirmed clearly in the third Stargate movie that MGM cancelled.
On the point about the Tau'ri being too powerful; not really, because they were still outnumbered. They got a technological edge, but still didn't have the numbers of ships needed to even take on a serious Jaffa attack using a bunch of old Goa'uld Hat'aks. The Shield strength gave them enough power to stick with a fight against superior numbers, but not indefinitely. The Tau'ri needed time to expand their space naval forces.
1:02:17 xD
Prequels can be good. A good example is Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad
If you want to get an idea of what that strange pattern within the cosmic microwave background radiation discovered by the Ancients could be, check out this video on Conformal Cyclic Cosmology by PBS Space Time: th-cam.com/video/PC2JOQ7z5L0/w-d-xo.html
Basically, CCC states that to measure time you need mass. But since both at the beginning of the Universe and at the end there was and will be only radiation, there is no time. That means that beginning and end are pretty much identical, i.e. the end of the Universe will give rise to a new one. Theoretically, a highly advanced species could use this to communicate across Universes and this act of communication would manifest as a weird pattern within the cosmic microwave background radiation of the new Universe. At least that's how far I have understood it. It's all based on the works of Roger Penrose and he himself thought it's probably not even true, but it's a cool concept.
Joseph Mallozzi really like Robert Picardos wife's rum cake lol.
In production of new show they should look at the new X files. There was a major problem with the script, but there were many other mistakes. The first thing that strikes everyone is, of course, the overall visual. They tried to make it a modern show, but it didn't work for me as a person who watched the original. Stargate SG1 and Atlantis had their typical, very simple and iconic visual (color palette, camera, etc.). In my opinion, this is something that should not change, because if someone is already used to something, it is not very pleasant for them to adapt to something else ...especially when it is not better done at all. What the new X files also showed is that the show, which was built into a 20 episode series, just doesn't work as a miniseries.
I understand that the creators would like to bring this fourth series to new audiences, but I don't think any of the fans want a completely new thing. Most of the original actors said they would like to return to the series. So, in my opinion, no more characters are needed.
They should just do it the same way it was. It worked and it will continue to work. ...as excellent 10. series of Roseanne.
And one last thing. In my opinion, it is no longer possible to follow up on SGU, as Destiny's crew put themselves into cryosleep, which means that they will not grow old ...but that cannot be said about the actors... So why start with that at all? There are so many unfinished business in the Milky Way and Pegasus that would be much more interesting to solve.
I understand your perspective and your desire... But I honestly can not see that actually working out...
A lot of time had passed, things have changed. They can't just pick up where they left off, or continue on their merry little, light hearted adventures.
And although it seems you weren't a fan of SGU and you want to erase that from existence. I'm addition to the fact that I find your argument against including anything SGU related to be completely invalid and contrived, there were a LOT of Stargate fans who loved SGU.
And while the characters were very flawed and unlikable, the premise of the series was awesome & amazing!
And assuming they came out of stasis as planned, those actors are younger and the aging wouldn't be a big deal. The story would obviously have to pick up in the current day, not where we left off, or even right after they came out of stasis.
Anyway, they definitely need some new blood for a new series! That's just a given, and totally obvious! And I trust that they will create some truly awesome new characters for us to get to know & love!
But they should absolutely maintain a significant ensemble of old, familiar faces in recurring supporting roles.
I also feel that the Destiny should not be the main focus of a new series, but it should not be ignored either!
The fans who were loyal, and who actually DID support the franchise for ALL of the series deserve some answers and closure.
And there is MUCH to learn from the Destiny and all the data she had collected!
Funny, SGU is still the best tv show ever made (except perhaps the original trek).
stargate universe the best of the three ? eww 🤮
i'll agree that this series had great storytelling elements, the ship's navigations being out of their hands, limited time to explore the different planet, being chased by aliens obsessed with the destiny, all that was good. the final episodes ? they were amazing.
but everything else ? what a dumpster fire... i absolutely hated how everyone was stupid and/or untrustworthy. Rush basically killed people and endangered the whole ship multiple times by being a selfish prick and hiding that he found the bridge. Rather than just venting the atmosphere of the gate room, Everett decides to go bang bang, hereby risking the lives of his entire crew and waste his limited stock of ammo to save the sorry ass of just one guy, resulting in the death of multiple people.
they also just trash the priceless million-year-old shuttles like complete morons, and i'm not talking about all of the engineered drama like the shithead who tries to dial the gate when they are desperately tyring to keep a low profile to hide from the tech-killer drones.
long story short, the whole cast was a fucking train wreck. half of them should have been locked down in there quarters definitely and/or replaced using the stones.
In many ways I though SGU was my favorite of the Stargate series... Although, it doesn't seem right to call it the best when it only ran for 2 seasons. How I do feel that it would've ended up be the best in many ways had it been given the chance to run for 5-6 seasons.
At the same time, I totally agree with everything else you talked about that upset you! Col. Young's failure to eliminate the Lucian Alliance attackers was especially infuriating, and really write irresponsible and unrealistic! Although a few of those characters are critical to later episodes... Malace was one of the best of the series IMO. And Eli's relationship with Gyn was one of my favorite events, even though it was very short lived. At least she was still in the computer...
And I'm stuff that doesn't make any sense. And I don't even know how to explain it at the moment.
But it had to do with how rewarding it was when people finally did do the right thing, or learn to get along, forgive each other, etc.
I also really loved the premise and the Destiny itself tremendously.
Although nearly all of the characters are quite flawed in various ways, we got to know them intimately and it was very rewarding to see them working through their issues, internally and among each other, and generally becoming stronger and growing up, and stepping up & excelling.
