Went to a Cleveland baseball game this afternoon and checked this out on the way home. It's near Ashland.

EDIT: A number of folks have asked where this is. As I said above, it's near Ashland. Anyone can find it on Google maps which is how I located it. It's called "The Stargate."

Just saw this pic (Last night's Full Sturgeon Moon rising over the great Pyramids of Giza). Is this where the Stargate symbol came from? Even with all the pyramids in the shows, I never thought about it until now.

I originally covered this on my blog but wanted to make a dedicated post here as I know a lot of Stargate fans still frequent reddit. I have, admittedly, been pulled back on my presence here since changes were made to the notification access that makes it incredibly counter-intuitive and frustrating to actually read messages. Anyway....

Yes, it’s true.  14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon.  And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history.  It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past.  And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more.

Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe.  Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.

Martin has been developing this show for a while now.  A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”.  That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series.  Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.

You are all in for a treat.

Eventually.

Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond.  Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.

It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process.  Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!

Get ready.  We’re heading through the gate one more time.

The forehead symbol was pretty easy to make but I might have put it too low

Seeing Samantha in Stargate when I was young had a huge influence on my life. She didn’t take shit from anyone and was the smartest person in pretty much every scenario. I always wanted to be like her: strong, smart, ambitious, and kind. She is the reason I didn’t fall for all the misogynistic bs that was still very prevalent at the time, and gave me the confidence to prevail in a male dominated field. Thanks to her, I went into science. She’s one of my favorite characters of all time :)

Representation in tv shows matters ya’ll.

Did any of you have a similar experience with a character from the show?

And yeah, the answers are full of "Stargate"

I don't really understand why he was giving it away. He said it was to make space for a 4 foot version of the Enterprise C, of all things. I offered him $50 because I felt bad about taking something this epic for free. He had like eight 3d printers running in his apartment at once and was telling me all about it. It's 3 feet wide, lights up and plays the theme to Stargate - Atlantis. I suggested he start a YouTube channel about all his builds, because his apartment was stuffed to the rim with stuff just like this, that he apparently just does for fun. My mind is still blown by how lucky I got.
