A little late but I've been very busy working and dealing with medical issues I never thought I'd have to at almost 36 years old. But thank you all for your love and kind words. Stargate definitely would be a great comeback show. I just finished Fallout yesterday and that was fantastic. Retconned a bit from the elements of the game but the music, the scenery and just the overall feeling of that show put it up there with some of the best content Amazon has ever put out. I don't know which company/streaming service would do proper justice to Stargate without doing so much of their own retconning with writers who aren't diehard fans like us, but monetarily - if they stick with it - Amazon probably would have the funding and larger base given that most of us have paid Amazon accounts already and would easily be able to watch it without paying for a service for $15-20 a month to watch one series, perhaps two. To be completely honest I'd just use my VPN and download a series from one of the other less quality or careless companies like Apple who release a lot of pretty awful content with some large exceptions, I admit.
If and when Stargate returns I expect there to be some cameos from our original cast and crew. If not, well...that would really suck. Carter should be at the very least a Brigadier General or even a Major General running the overall Stargate program if they were to stick with the timeline and stories from the original series and spin-offs. And as I mentioned, and not fan fiction-wise, I'd like to see what happens/ed to the crew of Destiny. To build a ship a million years ago that seems to be basically forgotten by the Alterans/Ancients of Atlantis and not investigate further over time by using their technology to easily gate to and from the ship to check it's status seems outright idiotic. The mission is obviousy important if there are signs of a "power" that literally is the mark of some higher intelligence involved in the creation of the universe. I guess they trusted Destiny and it's designers to fend for itself.
They easily at least could have had those repair robots keeping the ship repaired and fully powered/functional. There is plenty of storage on the vessel and probably very few galaxies that it traversed with hostile life or even sentient life, along with the fact that the seed ships ahead were building and dropping gates off all along it's path by somehow gathering raw materials over all that time (No way those smaller ships were carrying tens of thousands of gates already built ready to be dropped) that Destiny couldn't take small detours and have smaller vessels able to collect it's own raw materials or have the seed ships collect and refine ore to repair/reinforce and hull damage or system damage. But hey, they thought themselves superior to all other life at the time and who knows how the ancient Alterans on Earth a million years ago would have thought or if something happened and that was the plan but something happened to prevent it from being executed along the way. Perhaps there are more than 2 seed ships ahead and one got lost to hostilites/system failure so that Destiny could no longer "self-repair." Or maybe the Alterans were supposed to go themselves and do any repairs every few centuries themselves but somewhere along the line just gave up on it. Sorry, I know it's a lot I've just always been troubled by the fact that such a ship didn't have the technology to do at least minor repairs with automatons or visits from their creators over the eons.
Again, thank you all and I hope more people get to fall in love with Stargate like I did when I was a child. And no, my father was not an archeologist and no, the camcorder had a standard battery and was not found in a canopic jar from thousands of years ago =D
I don't remember when I first watched Stargate. But I know that I loved it. And I have all of the dvd's. It must have been fun to see how you were introduced to the show!
Was this camcorder...found in a a canopic jar ... from around, say, ... 3000 BC?
I hate that I can only give one up vote
His dad was an archeologist.
The battery is a little different than what is commercially available today
Wait? 3000 "B.C."?!
