[@zrinkolina]

Thank you Joe for trying to save the show.

[@slevinchannel7589]

I get why people want to know the Fate of the Destiny, but honestly? Screw it. SGU was so bad, i only want a 2 Minute Mini-Episode that clears that Story-line up and then a Big 'The End' floating though Space. Just that. The Wraith-Storyline meanwhile actually is Important, actually needs to be Finished, and what-not-else could be said about it. The Wraith-Storyline needs to be finished, and no one can finish it right with less than 2 Movies or 2 Seasons. We also can't possibly get some entirely new Stargate in the Future and the Wraith-Storyline is just finished in ONE SENTENCE "Oh, yeah, remember the Wraith and how we defeated them?" and that's it... That would be terrible.

I just finished SGA and I was looking for answers as to why the hell it ended like that. The fact that this was cancelled and Joe tried to save the series and was turned away is just plain killing me right now. This is a complete injustice to the fantastic writers, cast, and production team of SGA. Hollywood has a terrible trend of killing great shows to cash in for a 'BIG MOVIE' which is usually terribly put together and is frankly insulting to the entire fanbase. For what it's worth, the series was amazing and original with such fantastic, talented actors and writers. I hope the best turns out for all of you and thank you for the fantastic series you gave us!

I know that I'm alone and studios don't give a shit about one consumer but this is practically why I am "boycotting" Hollywood. I am simply refusing to pay for anything that greedy morons produce.

People working on Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Sherlock, Black Mirror, Westworld and the likes actually love what they are doing, have long-term plans and perspective and it is important to them to give fans what they want and do justice to their creations. To Hollywood we are just statistics.

Joe is 100% right about everything he said. And really the saddest part is that's its been too long to go back to where it got left. Best case scenario would be a jump cut forward ten years with the existence of the stargate common knowledge and explore what would come of that. It would be a great story. No one wants to go back to Emmerich's vision except Emmerich.

[@jstrey8]

I have all the SG1 & SGA DVD's. I watched SGU and I really wanted to like it. They even got Richard Dean Anderson for some guest shots. The first 10 episodes sucked. Even the "younger fan base" like by son. Watched the first 6 episodes and that was it. He wanted the other 2 back. I was really unhappy with the end of SGA. They just left us hanging. At least with SG1we got the Ark of Truth to end it. I think Amanda, Chris and Michael were really to leave after 10 years. But I have not heard them say it. But when I get sick of the TV I watch my DVD's. With the election that's been a lot.

It kills me especially that SGU was left to die because I feel that if it was allowed to continue past the second season, it would've gone places that would shut up those saying that the show was unoriginal. This video, even if it is a little sad, made me feel a little hopeful for the franchise. Joe Flanigan is a hero for having attempted to revive a franchise, and is one of the only sensible people up there that know what the fans really want.

It should have been left to grow its own fandom alongside the pre-existing shows or at the very least focused on AFTER the others concluded naturally.

SGA had it all for a diverse audience, with JOE, Jason and Rachelle drawing in the female and male fans with their sexy good looks and David doing the science techno speak for the "geeks"!

Apparently many Stargate fans felt the same, as the franchise fell shortly after..Too bad they didn't ask the fans what we wanted!! I still feel cheated for the lame ending of SGA!! I sure wish JOE had gotten the rights to continue! Since the new movie does not deal with any of the series, I doubt I will be too excited to see it come to fruition!!

[@Meerkat040]

I think a reason people hated SGU was because it didn't feel like stargate.

[@VerbalEnigma]

I agree the characters were rubbish. The only one with any substance was Rush and he was the only reason I watched it. Mind you, I can't help but like Robert Carlisle in everything anyway xD All things have to come to an end at some point. Part of me wishes they had seen the end before they were forced to. Going out on a high is a much more dignified and graceful way to go and offers a satisfying conclusion instead of scrabbling around for something. SG1 got cancelled but they had enough interest, budget and rights to finish off the series - and it took three movies! And I still don't know if Daniel and Vala got together...

[@desertfox2020]

SG-1 didn't have 3 movies?

[@VerbalEnigma]

Yes Stargate generated three movies. The Original Stargate, from which SG1 was born. SG1 was cancelled before finishing up the story but it had generated enough interest and they had enough money to make two movies. The first movie after series 10 is Continuum during which they deal with the last System Lord Ba'al thereby finishing the Goa'uld storyline. The next is the Ark of Truth, thereby finishing the Ori storyline. MGM ran into difficulties resulting in Atantis being stopped abruptly. They had plans for a season 6 before the show was cancelled. Then Flannigan tried to lease SGA as everyone involved was still extremely interested however I believe MGM was heading for bankruptcy and despite tentative agreements when high level positions were changed the talks fell through.

You think the end to Atlantis was bad? Have you seen Dexter? :P That was waaaaay worse.

[@czarpeppers6250]

I think I would have liked SGU a lot more if it took place along side a continuing SGA. Give them the ability to try something new with Stargate, maybe getting new viewers into the franchise. While still rewarding the loyalty of the pre-existing fan base with a continuation of SGA. Still, although I got into SGU a little more towards the end of the second season I couldn't help but to think they were just trying to be a BSG rip off, and not doing a very good job of it.

[@spasjt]

You know what this proves? That TV execs really are a bunch of delusional idiots. Sexier, younger audience led to SGU which made every episode a soap opera and lead to completely random plot developments to make the show interesting. What to reboot the franchise execs? Exclude SGU and pick up where SGA and SG1 left off. How do you do that? Well go to Joe Flanigan or any of the great people who are willing. It's not like there aren't options but execs are obsessed with brief flashes of success instead of patient long term development. Besides, rebooting the movie is going to fail. New audiences won't appreciate it because they've "heard that plot somewhere before" and older, as in prior, fans will be miffed.

[@illexsquid]

I agree SGU was a terrible soap opera in space with poorly-engineered arbitrary conflicts, but it had jettisoned a lot of that and was getting to be a lot more like the team effort we enjoyed from Stargate when it got cancelled. The series-ending cliffhanger might have been the best episode of the series. Now that Once Upon a Time is done, maybe Robert Carlyle can come back and resolve it.

I loved Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I could not get into Stargate Universe. I think the difference was the first two had a good mix of humor and serious drama. Stargate Universe just seemed totally dark. I'm sorry Flanigan did not get permission to continue the Franchise. But, this problem with Hollywood killing successful franchises with poor management is nothing new and is continuing (The Last Jedi).

[@Zero11s]

it was SGfU

[@mikesb9999]

I agree 100% but SGU is a great show. It is supposed to be dark, depressing, gritty as life would be stuck on a extremely ancient ship, barely surviving partially across the universe. as an agnostic athiest myself, I think what they did with the show is actually quite interesting (Destinys' real mission "to find God" or proof of Intelligent life at the time of the big bang) based on the signal found in the background radiation, by the Ancient Ancients I guess you could call them, apart from the normal ancients who have ascended and what not..I would love to see where the show goes becasue there is also what they think are the super poweful aliens who created that one planet "Eden" and also basically teleported all the dead from there to the next Galaxy destiny was in.. I like shows/movies that try and bridge the gap between Science and Religion, SG1 and SGA are both guilty of doing so but still differently than sgu. Battlestar Galactia is also a good one for that stuff aswell.

[@joost199207]

The problem with SGU is exactly that, the lack of humor and lightheartedness. Other than that it's great for what it is, but it doesn't really feel like Stargate is supposed to feel.

[@Nick-jb4xi]

SGU was dark past the point of credibility. The characters were mostly just awful human beings. The later episodes got better in this respect, but it was sort of strange how everyone became a slightly or much better person, largely without a story explanation. But hey, I was just glad it got better. Also, the use of the stones always struck me as odd. The stones were used primarily for visiting loved ones, and sometimes important information was exchanged. It's weird to me that they didn't have planned and organized training and skill building. That they didn't have MANDATORY counselling after they'd been stuck on the ship for weeks. When you're dealing with a limited amount of people, in a highly dangerous situation, you NEED skill redundancy. Not to mention, some crew seemed to have zero useful skills, so give them some.

[@VashtheStampede007]

SGU is a bad joke. It should have never happened. The whole series is based on giant plothole and WTF writing. The three Ha'tak in the first episode should have been one-shot by Asgard beam weapon. The rest of the stories should never have happened. Do you realize what Lucian Alliance is? Just an underworld mafia. They lived in hiding under Goa'uld rule. They were drug dealers, assassins, etc. It was just an organized crime. All the sudden they scavenged more Ha'tak than most system lords had. And they were able to upgraded Ha'tak to beyond Ori motherships??? Even Ori motherships fell to Asgard weapons within a few shots. It was beyond dumb to pick a mafia to become the enemy of planet earth... out of so many established cooler enemies such as remaining Goa'uld, Wraith, Replicators, Asen, and a few other "bad" aliens they have encountered in the previous series. It was dumber to give them more Ha'tak than Goa'uld system lords had, and to "upgrade" them with beyond Ascention knowledge the Ori had. The whole show did not make sense. And it should have never take place.

[@remc70]

I like Stargate Atlantis as it was once one of the best of the sci-fi out there. It was a very flexible show as it showed humor, drama, confect, and the strength of the plots and actors. In some ways it reminds me of the shows I grew up back in the 50’s and 60’s such as William Powel in some of his mystery movies he did. Stairgate universe was a dark moody show, in which I watched about twenty minutes of it Shows and movies like that one contributes to some of the social unrest we see today. So as I watch the reruns of it, I will think of weapon can we use to beat the race. I would like to see The Race and The Klingons mix it up. Maybe we can introduce The Race to a 40mm blooper.

And now they're going to outrage the fans with a reboot, kind've makes me want to diverse myself from the reboot newbie nerds by wearing a shirt with the Stargate series on it. Sci-Fi wait do they spell it with y's anyways Sci-Fi needs to look at the ark of truth for the continuation of the Stargate series, just saying. We don't need a thousand Terra Nova SGU The 100's or Revolution Walking Dead's wandering around being cancelled every 2 years, please just bring back a series that can last for ten years - Stargate Now with DIgital tv I get weak reception 32 channels only 3 are interesting the two of wich I get terrible reception and airplanes interfere quite often, i have no sci-fi channel.

[@electricdreamer]

Thankfully, we got Dark Matter - but only for two seasons.

[@IN-tm8mw]

i agree, SGU started to get real good at the end. feels kinda bitter sweet the way they left it. i guess i'll die before we get any new information on what happened to them.

[@secondghost]

Miss these guys, miss the shows. SG1 and SGA were just great!

[@dolfyn73]

Wow, I never knew this! Just goes to show that the powers that be/were didn't really give a shit about the fans in the end.

[@Krafty]

They never did, they cared about the money. Only the ones close enough to the project with artistic/creative integrity and commitment gave a fuck about the fans because they had the passion behind the projects. The higher up you go, the less it's about the fans and the more it's about the money. If there's no profit, they don't care.

[@Zero11s]

it's heliocentric propaganda, extremely well executed but still

[@stangundam01]

really hope that both atlantis & universe get revived

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

stangundam01 What about SG-1?

[@stangundam01]

Félix Veilleux-Ouellet sg1 sort of ended for me with the way they did the asgard at the end & with continuum it was interesting but wasn't more then them just going around in a big circle, I would've like if instead of continuum that they instead did the atlantis movie

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

stangundam01 The Lucian Alliance is still a big deal in the Milky Way. I can imagine a new series set in the Milky Way, maybe with a brand new SG-1 team.

[@Colonnsan]

+Félix „Lt. Gen. Jack O'Neill“ Veilleux-Ouellet SG-1 is SG-1 you can't replace the whole squad

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

***** I get what you mean, but you have to take it from an in-universe perspective. The original SG-1 members are getting old. They'll retire. Does that mean it's over for the SG-1 team? I don't think so. They'll just hire new members. I think there's a potential for an SG-1 show or comics series with new characters, with the original characters making cameos or occasional appearances. Stargate SG-1: The Next Generation. It has a nice ring to it I think.

[@PulsechainX]

It was sad that this didn't happen.

[@Krafty]

Agreed, that would have been amazing

[@druidegg4711]

Sad he didn't achieved this, I think he could do a great job.

[@rachelcody3355]

he should be a director! he knows what fans like. miss that show.

[@SpaceTestMonkey]

It seems we will be getting a new series after all, hopefully by '23

[@MightyThews]

Met Joe last year at OZ Comic Con in Melbourne. Absolute top bloke!! A pity he could not get his hands on the rights. We may of actually got a true Stargate show

[@shannonhunt7966]

I would love to see Joe succeed in this indevor, I will get behind it

[@slyseb]

i really miss stargate

[@mustafaedtech8787]

Still seeking some hopes about reboot of SGA in 2018:(

[@Haggysack2k8]

Younger sexier audience" ... And what do we got? Well we got Eli, who likes to play world of warcraft and if that doesn't make him sexy, what else? Oh and if you by any chance find just a tiny hint of sarcasm in my comment, you can keep it. To Joe, *DAMN THANK YOU* for trying to buy off the franchise from MGM. We wouldn't get Stargate: The Nazi Hitler Chronicles, if you succeeded back then, but you really tried your best and i'm sure now, that you could have done nothing more, MGM just made their mind and no one could ever change that. It is sad, yes, but that's reality and reality sucks sometimes really hard.

[@vanyadolly]

LOL! They went with a character that played WoW to connect with a younger audience? Some of the middle-aged scientists in SG-1 did that too.

[@justinroyngiraked2676]

Yes im a fan off the old cast i agree it doesn't need a younger cast but thats not why i watch the show i watch it becouse of the story line and what it gives off like the chance of humanity becoming an advance race of people or the chance of us that one day we will live amongst the stars..

[@deltapag3247]

Joe should create a "fan film/series" called uhhh, "Gate Stars" or "Gates to the Stars" or "Gates of the Ancients". Screw the franchisees, they can't lock down the spirit for good syfi or entire careers of very talented people. Make a "Fan Series", just like Star Trek and the lazy fat cats will clamor to bring back "Star Gate" or lose the "value" of their franchise forever. Or Joe and team can just team up with Netflix or Amazon and create "Gates of the Ancients".

[@johnnyscifi]

Joe flannigan is a fantastic person!!!

[@eointolster]

I miss stargate so much. I became an engineer because of star trek and stargate

[@Robbinio2]

Instead of say "leasing the franchise to him" why not as for the rights to go and make a few episodes off of his own back. Start Crowd Funding (as he said, they have the best fans in the world, so even if 90% of them gave $1 it'd be a fair amount of money!) and get the funding through those means rather than having to deal directly with production and distribution companies and ask for their money on a 'gamble' (in their eyes)

[@anthonyward2433]

he didnt have a problem with raising the money, either way he has to either buy the rights (which they probably will never sell) or lease the rights which they didnt want to do for whatever reason. theres no other grounds for them to make the series without the rights to it, no matter how much money we throw at it.

[@Krafty]

Sounds like John Shepard was trying to save Stargate in our reality! Such a shame. SG-1 had a decent enough rough, it was on the air for years. Atlantis still had much to explore with thousands of possible story lines to make for a show that could have been on the air for just as long as it's predecessor. Universe was a good show but unfortunately didn't get going until season 2 and we all know how that worked out. At least we can say that in an alternate reality, Atlantis survived, right?

[@dimitarmargaritov]

Huge respect to Joe!

[@Davesoft]

I love how the french subtitles contain information that he doesn't actually say. Fascinating choice.

[@Lijaskurzeme]

lol yup.

[@DeusExAstra]

What a shame the studio couldnt get their act together. They always seem to find a way to fuck up a good thing.

[@ombudspeoria3217]

Joe is the man. Joe please for the love of god bring back Stargate! Like my hats off to the man he never watched an episode of stargate before becoming John Shepherd and he nailed it the 1st 10 secs and kept delivering great entertainment. Thank you Joe

[@martind5653]

Imagine. Actor from spin-off of the spin-off serie buys and save entire franchise and makes his own season.

[@iamfuturetrunks]

That's terrible. Having people who helped make part of the shows great actually interested in continuing the stories and wern't even asking for hand outs they were putting up real money and nothing happened. I heard for a while the rumors of MGM or spyglass or whatever in talks with the original creators (the ones who made the first movie, who also hated the tv show or felt the tv show was wrong or something, what I heard) about rebooting the movie and I was like "no!" cause then they would probably mess it up. They helped create the idea of the stargate and thus spawned some really great shows that still stand up to this day but they didn't apparently like those idea and if they were to reboot the movie it probably would have ended up like another transformers type movie. What's really sad is that the tv show had a HUGE library of information towards making a really great game, if the right company came along and gave it the respect it deserves. Could have made a great game, heck maybe a bunch of great games. Just think GTA but with stargate (I know there was a few years ago that got cancelled). At this point they sat on it way to long, some of the original cast probably wont return. Not to mention the writers and they might have trouble getting the core audience back maybe in this day and age since a lot of people have ditched cable unless they were to push it towards a service like netflix or something. Just stinks all around.

[@gavinwest1460]

would have been great if Joe Flanigan would have got the rights can tell he was passionate about the show would be great to have it released again everything for the past 10-11 years since the shows ended has been (dark and edgey) enough bring back some fun tv

[@soambitiously]

Some ones needs to start a fucking petition or something, I want Stargate back ;(

[@pf2380]

2022 je viens de regarder les dix ans de Stargate les flms aussi. Absolument génial. Sg1 reviensssssssss. Je pense à mon acteur préféré Don s Davis hommage il a vraiment passé la porte de l'autre côté des étoiles. Le papa de Scully ou la vérité qui est ailleurs x-files

[@aurorajones8481]

Both shows need a reboot.

[@IAF7]

Was a bad decision cancelled sg1 and atlantis. I really miss both. I want see the return .

[@seanduignan294]

We want a SGA revival!

[@henkman00]

well, there's the problem he tried to buy the Stargate franchise with French subtitles.

[@Ueberdoziz]

henkman00 hahaha xD

[@jackoniell9468]

Bring back both Atlantis and SGU. I am satisfied with the way SG1 ended but hell bring that back too if ya want

[@gJonii]

Jack O'Niell Universe was maybe a bit too ambitious. It felt like Lost to me, super interesting but you don't really believe writers can bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Would love if I was proven wrong about that.

[@cyberneticbutterfly8506]

I felt the same thing: Lost was about "the human story" with the mystery and adventure becoming a backdrop for anxiety and tension. Most fans of SG-1 liked it for the adventure, mystery and archvillans. I have always despised writers and directors who get obessed about the "the human story" in any franchise. They always wind up reinventing Lost.

[@47alpha62]

I really miss that Atlantis,maybe some new movies you know like continuum or whatever just we really like the old team

[@bloodgrimgaming2197]

Joe is the man, the boss, the best. Keep trying for the fans mate, we back all the way!

[@DJSickey]

Man i keep re-watching SG1 and Atlantis over and over... PS: Sheppard reminds me a lot of Commander Sheppard from Mass Effect trilogy, character wise...

[@kinkin9363]

DJ Sickey I thought ME Shepard was inspired by SGA John Sheppard, haha

[@Nmax]

Thank you Joe. The way they abruptly ended Stargate Atlantis was an insult. SG1 should have also had at least a few more seasons as well.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

What is Garrett Wang doing there? Is he MCing or whatever they call it at conventions.

[@bdogjrbp]

This will never end for me and hopefully every other fan of stargate and fans to come -- Stargate Love Forever Bring Back Stargate Reference Stargate Around To Make And Create The Love And Appreciation And Hopes For A Stargate Franchise Return Neverending!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😆😆😅😅😅😄😄😄

[@Waimotu1]

SGA had plenty more to give as most SG fans would agree. Why would they drop it when it was running high? Then to find out that Joe Flanigan tried to reeboot the series and was denied the opportunity really puts salt on the wound!! I take my hat off to aJoe for his efforts, but as for the franchise owners.....they are just riduculous!!!

[@cyboriontheuknownexplorer2720]

I miss stargate sg1 and Atlantis SO BAD.

[@drakekay6577]

At first, I was thinking how many subtitles would it take to pay for the entire franchise. Then I realized "WITH" subtitles meant the video not the purchase. :D :D

[@EcchiRevenge]

He should have played young han solo.

[@KoneSkirata]

Now that you say it - absolutely, he seems perfect for the role. Damn shame!

[@kinkin9363]

I feel like he's done with acting and holywood life in general... But he's already an alternate Han Solo in my mind.

[@NorybDrol82]

I would love to see him in a Han Solo movie but he's too old now for a young Han Solo.

[@lud3re384]

Dammit... I wished that he could have bought it :(

[@PinkAndTheKeytarCat]

I don't know if anyone remembers the disaster that was Help Nathan Buy Firefly, but this is like that, only with competency and proper channels.

[@kinkin9363]

Pink And The Keytar Cat didn't know about that. What happened?

[@Sogenking]

It’s been four years and the cast looks so old. Plus Ronan is going back to Atlantis as aquMan lol

[@finnsstudio]

Did you offer a zpm?

[@psycronizer]

here's what I think, something fundamental needs to change between the relationship and the power and influence that the audience and the actors have with the show runners, if not now then at least for the future. Surely SOMEONE out there in movie land can get some legal think tank together so that there is some binding and effective power the aforementioned group can have over the cancelling of shows that the fans really like ! the system is clearly broken, we have had so many great shows just sunk with no effective means of a decision reversal. The ONLY shows that I can name that have had a good run are SG1 ( would have liked more tho) and SUPERNATURAL....

[@Valhalla.Studio]

Didnt know he tried to save it, that's awesome, its a shame it didn't work but thanks for trying. We all miss Stargate! :(

[@anomalyjack2397]

Since both show are lost in space, why not put them(space station) meet each other so to continue the whole Saga together. I know it dead knot hard for them to split their role, who going to be lead actor or actress. Well, hope they can compromise to work something out. Most important is that, the show must go on. Not letting the fans to be afloat for years. Life is short, do it before all are old to remember.

[@johnbrisbane4676]

SGA was perhaps the BEST ever Sci-Fi Series to this very day. Killing it made absolutely no sense what-so-ever. Never been so upset for so long over any show in this life.

[@GoldKingsMan]

‘You can fight like a Krogan,run like a leopard , but you’ll never be better than Commander Shepard !’

[@CoL_Drake]

and now they canceld the reboot movie so its even more sad

[@ianajkovacs9944]

Mannnnn what a let down..how could a show this cool end so abruptly
