With out a doubt, Stargate is my all time favorite television series ever. The way I got into Stargate was a bit weird, as a kid I watched it occasionally when ever it was on TV in the days that Southern Cross Television actually aired it at about 5PM on a Saturday, but then I kind of just stopped watching it for some unknown reasons. A while later I started watching it again, about 5 years ago actually when Stargate Atlantis started up, instantly I got hooked to it because it was something fresh and new and I kind of got back into the whole Stargate thing completely, although I watched SG1 in the worst order ever, buying the DVD Season box sets in a rather confusing order of something along the lines of 9,8, 1, 2, 10, 7, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Don’t ask me why)
But since then in those 5 years since I started watching it again and became an obsessed nut and brought all the DVD’s and even a $200 + Jacket Costume replica Stargate SG1 and Atlantis have both been canceled, with Atlantis recently being canceled to basically make way for their new attempt at getting more fans and not caring about the old ones by creating something they like to call Stargate Universe, something that most original fan’s and watchers are dubbing either Stargate: 90210 or Stargate: Battle Star Galactica, from what was originally told in the initial conception of Stargate Universe the main thing that stuck out was the fact that the Casting directors were looking for new, younger faces and they were basically going to get stuck on a super advanced ship that is stuck on an automatic course that no one can turn off and if they aren’t back on the ship in time, bad luck they are stuck on what ever planet they went to.
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this rather than I really hope it’s going to be better than it seems but from these preview’s it doesn’t look anything like past Stargate series and I hope they really do bring in a lot of new fans / viewers with it as I’m sure MGM and the Stargate franchise will loose a lot of their old ones.
