What a great idea! To have another spin-off show from Stargate SG-1 can only mean good things - another show with new characters, loads of action, a mysterious new setting, new enemies, new technology, and that's just scraping the surface. The Stargate story is endless, as is you are to look at it two-dimensional, it's basically the story of adventure, discovering new planets and travelling to places that mankind has longed to know more about for a long time. You pair up fantastic actors and actresses for an out-of-this-world adventure, and presto! Instant hit!

My only worry would be (although they said that it wouldn't happen) would be if a movie and a new spin-off meant the demise of the original (and the best) SG-1. We can only hope that does not happen.

Where would the new series be based? there's already the Pegasus galaxy, and Earth...or will it be in both? Possibly a new place.

I HAVE to watch the new movie when it comes out

It's Stargate, so the possibilities are endless. It could be ship-based, another SG-team, another base and planet (Alpha Site, Beta Site, etc.), or another galaxy!
Like Bec, though, I am concerned about what it would mean for SG-1. When Atlantis came along, it nearly killed the original as most of the studio's funding went to developing their new series. Ironically, though Atlantis was developed to REPLACE SG-1, the original dug in its boots and refused to go down without a fight.
Perhaps the most telling factor are the interviews with the cast and crew of SG-1: most had NO idea they'd spend a decade of their lives on the same show, but it hasn't felt that long to them. Actors, writers, producers, and directors enjoy joking about seasons 14 and 15, and as long as they maintain their positive attitudes and great character-driven stories, I think they can do whatever they want.

This is fantastic news! Stargate SG-1 is the best show on television, all networks and cable channels included! A major motion picture is what I've been hoping for for a long time. Perfect to introduce a new series. Let's just hope they'll include current cast members (Richard Dean Anderson, etc....). The possibilities are endless for the great, forward looking fanchise. Keep up the good work!!

I would love to see a Stargate series and/or movie set before the ancients left atlantis. That would be amazing, wouldn't it? Loads of technology, the hundred year war with the wraith, the creation of the Asurans (which have not yet been seen but will be in season 3 of Atlantis)..... The Ancient's aliance with the Asgard is also something I'd love to see more of! The great 4 race alliance has interested me since Season 1!

It seems unlikely (in the current climate of things) that a new spinoff would kill SG-1 as they have only just established their new enemy and could potentially get another 10 seasons out of this story.

What does concern me is that Atlantis is not the first spinoff of the Stargate ideal.... some of you may remember Stargate Infinity (The animated Cartoon spinoff series) which died a quick and (in my opinion) deserved death. I'm worried that any new spinoff may suffer the same lack of quality (both story, carecter development and plot).

Interesting to see what they do with it.... also looking forward to the rest of Season 10, and the new film.

It might be too similar to Atlantis but...

If they want to continue delving into past Earth mythologies, they could conveniently find an Ancient outpost called Hy-Brazil (alternately spelled Hy-Breasail/Ui Breasail). Hy-Brazil is a "phantom island" in Celtic mythology that would appear and disappear (hence, phantom) and occasionally reported to "rise from the sea". Expeditions to find the island where launched in the late fifteenth century and the last reported "sighting" of the island was in 1872. Definitely an avenue of investigation for them.

This is AWESOME news! Another feature film would be terrific. There's so much more you can do in a two hour plus film that you can't on television. There are so many Stargate stories just dying to be told.

For example, I think it's high time we meet the Furlings, you know...one of the original four races in the alliance with the Asguard, Nox and Ancients. They are the only race in that alliance we know nothing about.

I like the ideas of Simon J Stuart as the ancient alienace has also intersted me since the episode "Torment of Tanulas" but the Hy-Brazil idea could be a good thread to weave into the story line of the existing two series. However, As I recall from a special or commentary that aired back when the Atlantis series was being launched. I remember the comment from one of the directors saying that they didnt' want the solution in one series was "hey! let's call the other guys!" (from the other series). I was disappointed when that was exactly what happened at the end of Atlantis' first season. But I still that would be a cool idea. Perhaps the new series could do something like Star Trek did with Voyager by sending the team out somewhere where they don't have contact with the SGC and are forced to go it on their own trying to get home. Whether this is done by sending them through an alien device that sends them into the past but not far enough that they can talk to the aliens who built it and then they have the potential to go to all the planets that the SGC has already been too but at a time before the Go'uld arrived but while the decendents of the Ancients, Furlings, Asgard and the Knoxs still inhabited those worlds(...they had to be there at some point since they had Stargates on them). Or perhaps even encounter the planet in the same system as the origional Tollan home world that destroyed themselves when the Tollan shared technology with them which lead to the non-sharing policy of the Tollan's that was a thorn in the side of SGC in the early seasons of SG-1...perhaps the Tollan and their neighbors WERE the decendents of the lost SGC team, that would be a bit of a twist wouldn't it? Another idea would be to have a thread of stories that deal with a possible connection between the Go'uld and the Wraith, perhaps Nerti found an Ancient device that she was able to travel back in time and to Pegasus and blended an Ancient with the wraith bug from Season 1 of Atlantis, thus creating the Wraith in the first place. Or perhaps the Go'uld are older than we thought and were around at the time of teh Ancients and went to Pegasus with Atlantis and didn't develop the dark side we have came to know until some event in the distant past. However in all likelihood I would guess that the new movie and series will deal with sending a team or Expedition into the Ori Galaxy.

The problem with a lost on the other side of the galaxy idea is that its been done. Sure on atlantis it was temporary, but done. Not to mention Voyager which i might add lasted seven years too long. Oh yeah now theres this little show called Lost on tv. The time travel idea is iteresting if they do get stuck and CANNOT get home ever. Something like quantum leap when Beckett did not return home at the end of the series. Now an interesting addition to the idea posted above to the lost team being ancestors to the Tollans might be to go all the way on the idea and make them the ancestors of the ancients? Or if not descendents perhaps have them intermingle with the ancients thus providing a Temporal reset switch that erases the last ten years of SG-1 and allows for Devlin and Emmerich to complete Their trilogy with out messing with continuity (Sort of) Seriously, i dont know how a new series could honestly work in the framework of stargate as we know it. I can offer ideas that Wont work-
The lost in space or time, heres an original one- a 5 year mission on a starship- Groundbreaking huh?

how about a sitcom with two male jaffa raising a symbiote while hilarous hijinks ensue?

Heres one- a fully reallized Wormhole Xtreme Series? no comment needed on that one.

Seagate DSV- use your imagination

Saved by the Event Horizon- a group of young recruits in training always getting in trouble and out smarting General Hammond- Think saved by the bell

Top Zat- Elite pilots and sexy flight instructors

Seriously that was all for fun- Brad Wright hasnt failed us yet, im sure with whatever idea he comes up with will work well and will be good. Dont take anything i said too seriously Its all in fun

My question is this. I have been watching stargate since the first movie came out. I have seen every episode, even while I was in iraq, but correct me if Im wrong but when the heck do we get to see a dang furling? If they were one of the Four then there should atleast be a trace of them right? I hope that in the offshoot we get to go that route.

I think I should point something out.... It has been annouced already (and mentioned numerous times in the Season 10 preview) that the Furlings WILL be shown this year on SG-1. It's most likely to the be the case on the 200th episode. It is my belief that the race of aliens that were on earth with the one called "Martin Lloyd" were infact the furlings. Since the 200th episode's plot is basically that a feature length movie of Wormhole eXtreme is to be made... it is something to that affect in my mind at least.

I am USUALLY right about these things, unless Brad and Johnathon decide to read this and go "oh hell, they've figured it out... time to change things up a little". Also Richard Dean Anderson will be returning in the 200th episode, as well as doing an episode (possibly a few) with Atlantis.

Sorry if you consider this information to be a spolier, but it saves others asking the same questions later on :)

I just want to know what happened to Richard Dean Anderson? Did he become ill or what? I thought he was the one who produced Stargate-SG1 in the beginning? I really miss him on the show & would love to see him back on. To me, Richard Dean Anderson will always be part of the show.
Thanks & Good Luck to SG-1
