“Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on ‘Stargate: Atlantis,'” Gero said. “I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series, ‘Stargate’ taught me everything about making television — it’s written into my DNA.
Leaving aside the stupid DNA analogy, looking up where he lines up with Stargate production has him joining for at best the last two seasons, after Richard Dean Anderson had stopped even phoning it in and left completely. I don't see viewing numbers, but I suspect most people would regard this as the whimpering end of the show they liked.
As for Atlantis, it already had woke casting. Science fiction TV, with an audience overwhelmingly white and male, depicting scientists, explorers, and soldiers, roles also dominated by white men, and of the seven people put on the poster for the show on IMDB, there are two women and two blacks, including the overall commander. Who are these people there for? Not the fans and not to represent reality.
I look forward to a sequel with a single white male who only exists to be inferior to everyone else. Maybe half the episodes will be a hard hitting, never before written "Why is this evil alien race cruelly discriminating against their noble, peace-loving, brilliantly intelligent sub-population? DO YOU SPOT THE SUBTLE SUBTEXT FROM OUR SUBTLE WRITERS?"
Stargate Atlantis was an early woke prototype for when an established franchise gets hijacked by wokelings.
Pretty sure that it almost got cancelled as well, but was saved when the showrunners injected some desperately needed action-packed testosterone into the show's formula with Momoa.
Ronon was great in SGA. They had to write in, and even show, his arm tattoo being done because he got it during a season break and didn't told the producers beforehand.
I haven't seen the show in decades and I instantly played that scene in my mind when I read this. So many great lines and scenes from that show, even though I admit it kinda dragged last few seasons once Jack left
Props, I didnt even make it through the first episode. I wasnt to happy about them replacing the character with a asian, but it was basically just ripping white people right out the gate.
Same shit happened with the roswell reboot, replaced the main girl with a hispanic girl and the first episode is her bitching about her illegal grandfather whos run the "diner" for thirty years and how white men are the devil.
If the average white male is watching this, do they not get upset over this kinda stuff?
Man, I just tried to search the Roswell reboot to remind me when it happened and it's apparently so shit it sent the stupid automatic AI summary catatonic
A reimagined version titled Roswell, New Mexico was ordered to series on May 11, 2018, and premiered on January 15, 2019, on The CW.
This version, developed by Carina Adly Mackenzie, features Jeanine Mason as Liz Ortecho, Nathan Parsons as Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff Sheriff [continues for like 4 pages]
As a huge Stargate fan I'm very concerned, could be a severe wokefest.
In addition to his work in “Stargate,” Gero is known for creating the NBC series “Blindspot” starring Jaimie Alexander, which aired for five seasons. He was also the showrunner on NBC’s reboot of “Quantum Leap” and has produced shows such as The CW’s “Kung Fu” reboot and the limited series “Keep Breathing.”
Games of Thrones had taught me to never get hyped for anything and to wait until a series has concluded before giving it a shot. I don't care if a series has nine of the best seasons in television history, if it fumbles on the landing I'm not going to bother with it.
Learned it the hard way with Dexter after getting hyped for New Blood and having 9 excellent episodes until they dropped an ending that was lower rated than the original.
It'll be really fun for one episode, as they introduce Aryan hyper-beings for our plucky, obese, female, negroid special forces to fight. But after that, just regular propaganda.
Stargate is fun, I'll keep an eye out, although I wouldn't be shocked if it's shit. Nice thing is, it's so campy, I don't even have to defend "canon" or anything; if it's bad, I'll just ignore it. I don't have to draw distinctions between "real" Stargate and "new" Stargate...I'll just continue to do as I've done with most of modern Western entertainment, and ignore it.
I just remembered Stargate Origins. Didn't even watch that because I knew it was going to be raw ass that would be redundant at best at retcon bullshit at worst. This probably won't be any better because the SG franchise has lost relevancy since the 2000s in a way SW and ST will never truly lose theirs.
Honestly? Should never have been taken off the air in the first place. SG-1 should have continued into the 2010s at the very least.
Those were made by other people though, pretty sure. Just googling it shows the names mark livedson and justin michael terry and they both look young enough to have had nothing to do with the original stargate.
The movie was my favorite, real sad that never got the sequel that the original creators wanted.
Stargate is a 1994 science fiction action-adventure film directed by Roland Emmerich, written by Emmerich and Dean Devlin.
Stargate SG-1 was good, the beginning seasons were fantastic, but ideas tapered out fast around season 5 or 6. Stargate atlantis was also decent, but it was prolly my least favorite of the three series.
I frigging loved stargate sg-u. Something about that one really tickled the fancy. Was pretty sad we never got a continuation of that. For some reason it was killing me to know what it was that was on the edge of the observable universe. Funny enough I was in college at that time, and someone had tried to convince me to send in a audition tape. It was really strange to find out the main characters mom died from aids (mine did too). I kinda kick myself in the ass for not submitting a tape, but honestly I prolly cant act worth a shit. Im way to serious for something like that.
I watched a video oddly enough last month about how the production costs for these shows towards the end was insane and in the millions. Kinda crazy how the sets and cgi cost so much.
But if the same guy who is making the quantum leap reboot is ijn charge, oh fuck.
Expect prolly a lesbian black girl as team leader. With maybe one white guy in the crew who is either super timid and scared, or just plain retarded.
How many more chances are any of y'all really prepared to give Amazon?
Everyone will be black and gay, the alien parasites will be sympathetic brown coded refugees looking for a better life, everything will look like a community theater production, and nobody will get mag dumped by blank firing P90s
I like Quantum Leap, I do, but we can't pretend it wasn't woke. I know that word didn't exist then, but he leaps through time to ensure the right liberal outcome.
Stargate is going to be a Michael Burnham led team of girl bosses defending liberal democracies in space.
Lol, because they played some black people during slavery/the jim crow era, or china people during ww2?
Yea I guess I do consider that the original idea behind being "woke".
I consider it being aware of the injustices people face, yes sometimes racial, alot of it just the rich exploiting the poor, race isnt really a factor there.
Now it means being bisexual, queer, and rainbow flags.
Make it make sense.
I only watched like 15 minutes of the reboot, but they replaced the main character with a asian, and if I remember correctly they were ripping white people right out of the gate, hence why I never finished it.
Id rather watch say some asian countrys version of quantum leap than the slop they make today just to shame half of its own people. God forbid that the only real free republic of "western" country's stick up for its own people.
How was it woke? Are you seriously asking that? I know you're a liberal faggot I didn't know you were a retard as well.
You had feminism, the civil rights shit, mixed marriages, pro-immigration, pro-retard, pro-faggot shit. Pick any issue and QL was arguing the liberal stance.
One other bit of good news... possibly. This isn't a reboot, it's a continuation.
I don't know if or how this would affect the DEI-cancerous etc risks, but in more conventional terms it means that everything that happened in the original 2-3 shows (and movie) can't just be wiped clean and railroaded over wholesale.
That's a very bad thing for me. I like most of SG1, but Stargate really suffered from the need to continuously escalate stakes (like a lot of media does). We went from "a few guys with guns go through a wormhole to find weird alien-run feudal societies and try to improve things" to (over the span of a decade in-universe) "Earth is now throwing down with - and facilitating the destruction of - galaxy-spanning threats, over multiple galaxies". I'm usually all-for a good HFY story, but things just escalated so fast that it lost me.
I would've thought the same maybe 10+ years ago, but maybe there's been enough reflection by now to where they can approach certain things a little differently.
Hopefully they'll take the opportunity to break out of that habit now and prevent the cycle from starting up again. And ideally without trying to appeal to the trademark "modern" audience.
The O'Neill was nice while it lasted though. I didn't stick with Atlantis. It didn't keep my attention. The other one only had rating when they had OG cameos.
I've long held the first season of Atlantis in rather high regard. In many respects, it's nearly perfect (in terms of the pacing, characters, setup, writing, and story arc).
Unfortunately, they also kind of wrote themselves into the perfect dead-end scenario. They'd stacked the odds so high, and put it to the climactic test, but didn't have a solid strategy for how to continue the conflict and story arc without pulling an obvious rabbit out of the hat.
To put it into context, once the Wraith started actually gunning for Atlantis, there wasn't a clear path to prolong that conflict in a convincing and non-repetitive way. The setup already made it clear that they were almost totally unopposed and unchallenged in the Pegasus galaxy, and didn't have a great deal of internal conflicts (Not at the start anyway). And it's not like they had no idea where Atlantis was. They had the means to get there, the numbers, etc.
The writers chose to dodge and delay the whole conundrum by simply... cloaking the city after nuking the atmosphere to make the Wraith think they'd blown up the city.and making everyone think it was destroyed. Clever in some ways I'll admit, but ultimately it feels like a bait and switch in terms of plot flow.
Yeah having dean anderson helped, he was already super popular due to his role as MacGyver. Back when media was made for the average white person lmao.
It's explicitly stated in this video that it isn't a reboot, but instead it's supposed to be a "brand new chapter", as they put it. Straight from the horse's mouth as it were.
Admittedly that could mean it could take place at any point in the timeline. Sometime before the original movie took place, at some concurrent point as one of the shows was running, or of course afterwards.
And then I suppose there's always the possibility of multiverse stuff like we saw in the last season of Atlantis... which isn't the worst execution of that kind of thing, but that would seem rather unlikely somehow.
RIP.
To be fair, season 1 could be good, and then they go retarded and woke after that. Maybe even season 2 could be good. It's not a write off yet.
But don't give them money, just to be safe.
First season rules almost always apply.
They need to hook an audience to radicalise them.
They cannot radicalise an audience with propaganda if they do not hook them first.

Atlantis had Jason Mamoa before he got muscles. If they get Jason Mamoa they're going to get viewers.
Ronon was great in SGA. They had to write in, and even show, his arm tattoo being done because he got it during a season break and didn't told the producers beforehand.
The way he played his character in Fast X had me giggling.
Gave me Last Action Hero vibes - the villain that knows he's in a film and plays everything up.
He looked like he had fun too. Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man was the last villain I saw that looked like they were having so much fun.
The original glazed guns because of their creativity and simplicity over shields and blasters.
Won’t happen this time around.
Jack: "This /gestures at staff weapon, is a weapon of terror. It's made to intimidate the enemy.
This /holds up p90, is a weapon of war. It's made to kill your enemy."
I haven't seen the show in decades and I instantly played that scene in my mind when I read this. So many great lines and scenes from that show, even though I admit it kinda dragged last few seasons once Jack left
"This is a weapon of terror..."
There was a quantum leap reboot?
Next you’ll say there was a macguyver reboot too!
Or Hawaii Five-0 or something.
It’s not very good, I watched 3-4 episodes and gave up quickly
Props, I didnt even make it through the first episode. I wasnt to happy about them replacing the character with a asian, but it was basically just ripping white people right out the gate.
Same shit happened with the roswell reboot, replaced the main girl with a hispanic girl and the first episode is her bitching about her illegal grandfather whos run the "diner" for thirty years and how white men are the devil.

They do, that's why Nick Fuentes is popular.
Man, I just tried to search the Roswell reboot to remind me when it happened and it's apparently so shit it sent the stupid automatic AI summary catatonic
They did a trans athlete episode that celebrated a boy beating girls at sports.
It's going to suck harder than a milking machine at a dairy farm. The FDA will probably have to come in and put the entire herd down.

Thank fuck for Resurrection.
SG1 was great but the Ori arc was not as good.
SGA was ok, but made a lot of missteps with characters, like just who the killed off at times.
SGU was awful.
SGO was even worse.
Whatever comes next if it follows the pattern will be a disaster.
It'll be really fun for one episode, as they introduce Aryan hyper-beings for our plucky, obese, female, negroid special forces to fight. But after that, just regular propaganda.

Ill bet money lmao.
I dunno dude, just because sw and st churn out unwatched slops every two years doesn't mean they haven't lost relevancy
How many more chances are any of y'all really prepared to give Amazon?
Everyone will be black and gay, the alien parasites will be sympathetic brown coded refugees looking for a better life, everything will look like a community theater production, and nobody will get mag dumped by blank firing P90s
That Quantum Leap reboot, don't remind me...
The original Quantum Leap is one of my favorite shows of all time. I have the whole series on disc.
So, so many possible stories that they never got to tell.
Too bad they couldn’t end it
I like Quantum Leap, I do, but we can't pretend it wasn't woke. I know that word didn't exist then, but he leaps through time to ensure the right liberal outcome.
Stargate is going to be a Michael Burnham led team of girl bosses defending liberal democracies in space.
How was the original "woke".
Lol, because they played some black people during slavery/the jim crow era, or china people during ww2?

Where are you getting that from, AFAIK they haven't released any details as to what it will be.

We need to construct a bingo card for the woke shit it starts with. Center square should be "black pharaohs"
Just don't make a drinking game out of it. Nobody will survive to the end of first season.
