New Stargate - Stargate:universe

NEWS

Monday, April 7

by Captain



Rumours about a third Stargate show have finally been solidified into an official announcement. The new project is to be called Stargate:Universe and yes, it does centre on the use of the 'ninth chevron'.

For those who aren't hard core RDA fans or 'Gaters', the original Stargate was 'dialled' to any other stargate in our galaxy by using seven chevrons that created an address corresponding with another stargate, just like a phone number. In Stargate:Atlantis, an eighth chevron was discovered, meaning that the 'area code' could now include another galaxy, the Pegasus galaxy. That's where Atlantis was discovered, and a show was born.

Of course, with nine chevrons, that means an even large area code, meaning, yep - an entirely new universe. And another spinoff!

Cool.

The hub of all things Gatey, Gateworld, has just announced the Universe info from an interview with Brad Wright and Robert C Cooper, co-creators of Stargate:Atlantis. Here's the info straight from the horse's mouth:

"The idea of Stargate: Universe is that it is set on a ship that was part of an Ancient experiment that was set in motion probably millions of years ago -- one that they never saw to fruition, but that we can," Wright told GateWorld exclusively. "They got busy with the whole ascension thing."


However, we may have to wait a little while for the show, due to the pressures of running Atlantis, the writer's strike, and the success of the SG:1 movies.

  • Sonstar says:
    Let's just hope they include some of the characters from SG1 and Atlantis. Some big names too. If they don't then I won't be watching because I get too annoyed when they cancel them. If the British can run a Sci Fi show for 45 years and still have a huge hit, why can't the Americans and Canadians?

    I would just like to add. Sorry about the spelling mistakes. Maybe I should give the new show a chance and watch it before I give a good critique!
  • Mikel says:
    I am sorry to say that I don't like any of the Stargate series. What are waste of money! It's a boring show that dumbs down the stories to the audience. Is it a kids show?
