Warm, caring, outgoing executive producer seeks fearless fans/potential volunteer corps militia for walks on the beach, long discussions on books, scifi, and haute cuisine, and world domination. Candidates should be honest, intelligent, and good with laser rifles.

Hey Joe-

Nice digs, really. Oh, and enjoy your quality time with your mother; those of us without mothers are jealous and wishing we had one more day…

One question that is absolutely driving me nuts; where are the jet skis, Joe? The kayaks? The canoes? Mother of a horse, Joe, it’s a city floating on water. Alantis is full of jet jockies that would get all giggly going 85 mph across the water or trying to stay up right in a kayak. Carter is a speed junkie; this is already canon. I can see her playing jet ski chicken with John and then both of them fishtailing water onto those unsuspecting souls basking in the sun on the pier. (I volunteer to show them how it is done.) This child of the (Atlantic) ocean wonders why there are no dockside parties with scantily clad half naked men in swimming trunks,(please use Speedos judiciously), drinking beer and talking manly things? Why are there no combat water polo matches? Joe, please use the water; it’s a wicked prop. Sag

Yeah….world domination sounds like fun.

“Volunteer” – that means that we don’t get paid doesn’t it. I have two cats to support so maybe I will have to think about it.

Okay Mr M! Warm and caring? What about your villainous persona? Do you not care about the fans that love to hear your snarky responses, and like to feel the wrath of Mr M now and again? *sniff* With that said it is very quiet over here. Where the heck have all the grumpy people gone? *misses that* So, moving swiflty on. World domination? Hmmm let me think about that for a while [beat] count me in. You know how I love to hear the sound of my own voice, and with an audience, think of the chaos and anarchy that could ensue! It would be just like old times.

*hugs*

I’m good with an AK-47. Do I qualify?
on December 28, 2007 at 10:13 pm anon, good nurse

I’m with Susan in feeling a bit skeptical about this “volunteer” la-de-da. Sure, dress it up with long walks on the beach and fascinating conversation with a warm, caring, outgoing, polymathic power-that-be (who just happens to have multiple socipathic personalities and who likes to use chopsticks to practice detaching ears), but being a member of a world-dominance-type militia isn’t all pear beignets and dark-chocolate crème brulée.

Also, if we have to use laser rifles instead of our customary weapons (the Death Star, in my case), and *especially* if we have to be honest, I’d like to see some pretty impressive remuneration – say, carte blanche at Fuel, for starters, plus personal ninja training with Jet Li. If you want to rule the world, you need to look generous to potential supporters.

Hello. Since I am looking forward to the Ark of Truth movie and hope it does well financially so that more movies will be made I feel obligated to inform you that the full movie is available to download and people are posting online where to download the movie. I know there is no way to pull the movie from every single website that has it or to stop people from burning and then selling it to other individuals. However, since there is another movie that has not yet been leaked you should attempt to find who leaked the Ark of truth so that person does not leak the next one.

Joe, I have recently started my own blog. Each week I will post a review on a different book I have read. This week I did Flaming London and next week is The Rosetta Codex. i was wondering if you had any suggestions on some great books that would captivate my audience.
Thanks

If possible, kindly schedule Operation Global Turnover (blackberry would be nice) during a full moon, when my pack and I can wreak maximal havoc. Werewolf Brigade will hit Washington first, then London. (But first we’ll have a break for Chinese take-out.)

Hey Joe,

Im a long time fan of your blog and find it very usefull for all the latest information on the Stargate world.

Great new design as well.

I’d love to ask a huge major favour if i can, would you consider adding the Atlantis Archive to your blog roll?

here is the web address http://www.atlantisarchive.com

Its okay if you cant, id just love to get the site noticed abit more
on May 12, 2008 at 6:37 am Christophe

Hello Mr Mallozzi, my name is Christophe, and I am a French Fan of Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, by advance, excuse me for my English, it acts of a machine translation made on Internet.

I wanted to say to you that you do very good work, and that Season 5 seems well left to be excellent, but I find like much fan in France, that there is not enough nonhuman race aliens, and that it will be sympathetic that it appears a recurring race enemy coming from another galaxy, advanced which handles with the perfection the secrecies of Stargate and which it is not human, I think that that could only make the series better.

Another thing, just a detail, if you could reveal in an episode, a member of Atlantis with the French flag on its shoulder only the time of a few minutes, that would be super sympathetic… considering France is the only country of the United Nations not having had its representative on Atlantis.

I wish you a good continuation, and very good final for season 5, surprising and imposing being the hundredth episode with being the death of Wraiths ?

++ Christophe

Hi Joe

I appreciate you always taking the time to interact with your fans.

I am Curious to know if Ronon’s character is ever going to mellow out and gain some compassion as far as always going off half-cocked, always looking at every stranger with evil intent, and especially bullying Rodney (really hate that. He reminds me of some high school bully’s I knew). In the Last Man episode it was really annoying to see Ronon jerk Carson Beckett up off the floor (like he was a dog) when they were making their escape. I mean the poor guy was hurt.
I know he has come a ways with that since his introduction, but he can still be a bit annoying being a shooting first and asking questions later kind of guy. Diplomacy is not his calling. I seem to always find myself saying, (Hehe) Ronon, shut up put the damn gun away and follow orders. or, I hope it’s on stun. Thanks for reading Joe. -Ken

Hey Joe,

Congrats on such a long-running success with Stargate. Hoping you might have a moment to chat.
on May 22, 2008 at 12:04 pm Pywackett Thecat

Cool…Hi Joe. Just wanted to say thanks for being good at what you do. I have ZERO creativity myself. Maybe I missed it Your recommend reading but I saw no mention of the GrandMaster of scifi Robert A. Heinlein. Do find his material a little “dated”? True, Heinlein generally wrote of the near future and the future caught up with him but except for Roddenberry none of the old masters foresaw the impact of ever cheaper computers or their effect on commutations and uh
answered the phone and now I have no idea where I was going with that.

I can do the long walks on the beach, but only have cutting wit and sporks as a defence mechanism.

Guess it’s not enough… *Sniff*
on May 28, 2008 at 11:35 pm Lt.Col.Errandboy

Laser rifles I could handle with some training. I’m good with the regular variety and handguns, also handy with a longbow (the Elven blood, ya know)…

Walks on the beach…yeah. As long as the beaches of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands please.

World domination is my life’s ambition – Queen of the Universe would be better, of course. Only because my elementary school report said “does not respect authority”…to me, that meant I must BECOME the authority in order to respect it. I’ll set up an online voting booth soon. I’ll make a great Queen.

Scifi-fantasy buff since childhood – even got to meet my idol Ray Bradbury at the Santa Barbara Writers’ Conference in 2005 (scored a scholarship via my writing mentor). John Wyndham, Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke & Robert Silverberg are some of my other favourites among the old guard.

So, do I get the job? huh huh?

Look forward to more wit and wisdom from the Baron and his cohorts.

Hi there Joe.

Been watching Stargate here in the UK since I was nine years old and I’m seventeen now.

Sadly, living in the UK means I can’t enter the ‘Enter the Gate’ sweepstakes despite being convinced I’d be an incredible Wraith…can’t get a McKay answerphone message either.

I love to read, love to eat, love to watch scifi and I am attempting world domination at the moment mwah.

Good with various forms of weaponry so laser rifles probably won’t be a problem.

Hey Joe, I believe I’m an honest sometimes intelligent person. I love food, sometimes scifi and with the world leaders today I would love to help with world domination but the walks on the beach would not go well with the hubby. Ha Ha! Nice blog, love reading them.

Hi Joe,
As a history teacher I spend my days learning and teaching others the ins and outs of world domination…so I’m game. I of course love scifi…but only the kind that makes me think. But I’ll probably running on the beach. I just discovered the blog and I love it!

Still learning where to post things so here we go….My husband and I are going to Vancouver at the end of July for our 2 year anniversary. Do they hold any tours of Bridge Studios? We’ll only be there a few days before leaving for an Alaskan cruise.

I’m armed with a Sony Reader, surfed since I was a little grommet and apparently have years of experience in Intelligence (as opposed to “intelligent”) which also covers the laser rifles and world domination requirement …. do I qualify?

“World domination,” hm?
Well, I never planned it as a group activity,
But I suppose I could set aside my ego and live a little!

I’ve blue prints, if you want…just…a little something scratched on a napkin then second drafted to a spiral notebook then final drafted to a 1 inch binder, 12 point Times New Roman (apropos, neh?) font, double spaced, MLA formatted, with illustrations… Nothing special.

Joe Said….“Warm, caring, outgoing executive producer seeks fearless fans/potential volunteer corps militia for walks on the beach, long discussions on books, scifi, and haute cuisine, and world domination. Candidates should be honest, intelligent, and good with laser rifles”

~~~ Well, Mr. M. I’ve worked a shadowy world, in buildings with no windows, three-position combination and cipher locks for over twenty years, so I’ll bet I can draft a plan for world domination that would work using state-of-the-art technology and invisible fighters flown by Baron Destructo and other members of The League of Aliens and Mutants for Evil. An amazing feature of these fighters are that they contain every luxury convenience you’d want, the least of which is huge HD screens that display every SciFi novel ever written with the innate ability to display the text in any font your heart may desire, just by thinking about it. The piece Dee résistance is that these attack fighters come with in-flight meals that are prepared by our personal Chef, Robert Belcham! Once the world is concord, any beach would be ours to roam and target practice with any rifle is easy when you’re the KING of the WORLD!!! I can carve a mean coconut cup with a laser gun at twenty paces! Can I join your team too!

Well, well, well…. If it isn’t my new BFF…
So about that photo you posted of me….can you tell I don’t believe in a hairbrush….yikes…
Next, you forgot to mention that I also dabble in ski patrol and the arts of being rad, or sick as the young people of today like to say…
Lucky for you I’m a reasonable young lady and am willing to let you make it up to me….how you ask??? Well, for my up coming birthday party I want you to make sure they don’t serve any of that awful seafood crap…instead….I was thinking maybe you could get a hold of that tasty chocolate “with just a hint of the migrant farm worker who was murdered and buried near the cocoa plant where the beans were harvested.” …shank shank….
Excellent.

Please stop offing the main characters. I miss Beckett. And then Weir???????!!!!! What were you thinking??? That character was a leader thanks to Torri. Carter just isn’t, she does not fit. It’s like replacing Han Solo with Spock. It does not work. The chemistry is not there. Carter should be Carter…her character is just not a leader in that respect. I have bought all the DVDs for Stargate and Atlantis, but at this point, I am wondering if I will continue. For me, it has been the chemistry of the characters that I have enjoyed most. I don’t see it anymore. And that new doctor??? No chemistry there either and I actually don’t believe in her character. Very disappointing.
on July 24, 2008 at 4:39 pm Fred Jacobson

I am losing interest in Stargate Atlantis because most of the story lines seem to be about posesion. Someone or something takes over one or more of the cast. There must be someone there with an original idea.

Where am I and who are you? I was just minding my own business looking for a place to blog about fishing. I feel like I’ve opened the door to the bathroom only to discover it’s the men’s room. “Sorry my bad!”

Well, anyhoo. Nice to bump into you and I like your foodie talk. Sounds yummy. I would excel at world domination for fried calamari-anything! Do you work out? There’s not really any good food here in Colorado but we like to play in the snow (and fish).

All the best, Jan (searching for world domination of fly fishing as a woman….)

‘Warm, caring, outgoing executive producer seeks fearless fans/potential volunteer corps militia for walks on the beach, long discussions on books, scifi, and haute cuisine, and world domination. Candidates should be honest, intelligent, and good with laser rifles.’

Slightly cynical Brit, equipped with enough sarcasm and dry wit to leave the World scratching it’s head.. nevermind domination. Okay, so I was dragged up on the likes of Black Adder, Python and Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I have to blame my parents for *something*.

I don’t surf.. we don’t really do too much of that on our menial waves (Spanish Armadas are more our forte). But I ski, climb, skateboard, paint.. and like to throw my dog into our beautifully polluted waters once in a while. I do own a gun and i’m pretty good with it too.. unfortunately, as the dog is a ‘Guide Dog’, not many folks stick around to see the fruits of my labour. I’ve got past needing him to mark the bullseye for me. Now, he just sits and whimpers behind me whilst I lock and load.

Intelligence.. well, I watch Stargate. I guess that counts as staying on the more balanced side of slightly deranged. I’m also a Nuclear Engineer by profession, so we could talk blowing things up whilst dipping our toes in the sand.

Did I mention how polluted the waters are around here?

Anyways, in a nutshell: Visually impaired Engineer, armed with a Walther PPK and Guide Dog, looking for someone to reminisce with over Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, whilst skiing along the beach and watching the Spanish Armada sink.. again.

Oh.. do you do audio commentaries on those beach sunsets?

Any need for an exotic Norwegian set nurse, with unexplored artistic skills in photography? Honest and highly intelligent. Not too experienced with laser rifles, but perhaps a talent for aroma therapy and massaging might make up for it?
on August 14, 2008 at 3:44 pm StillSassy

Wow, just looking over the blog for the past year. If I had known just how good lookin’ AND intelligent these writers, FX guys and DoP (Director of Photography?) are I’d have made a greater effort to actually visit a sound stage at some point. Don’t suppose any of the above are single and willing to chat with a slightly used, but still lovable single lady in Arizona?

And I have to ask — chicken feet made the OK list? Really??? Great job on the Atlantis show, good luck on all your future endeavors, and I’ll give you every consideration on joining me with the whole world domination thing; honest.

Why are you doing this to stargate atlantis, i thought it was going great, it should at least make it to 7 seasons, thats a nice number not 5. and a movie is to short, and i don’t think people really want the wraith plot line finished in 2 hours. at least 1 more season please. DO THE RIGHT THING

Vous ne pouvez pas arrêter Stargate Atlantis à la saison 5 c’est trop tôt , il y a encore bien trop de questions en suspend et de plus , il y a encore beaucoup de fans , ici en France qui suivent Stargate depuis le début …Alors , s’il vous plait faites comme aviez prévu , donnez nous nos 7 saisons de stargate Atlantis avant d’arrêter ! La France entière ne veut pas que cela s’arrête maintenant !

on August 21, 2008 at 5:19 am Aurélien

Hello, I am french, I do from a community Stargaters

and we believe that we should not now abandon Atlantis at the end of this fifth season is a wonderful series does not abandon us, even if there Universe which is under preparation and for television, it will not be such Universe is giving that will come off of 2 others.

we would need at least another season for us not to drop into the wild this new series without the support of a big sister for the launch.

this is a very bad news that we learned this morning avans from certain sites.

However, the mgm has not yet posted on its website this information.

would there be hope for a renouvèlement?

I thank you for your listening

SCI-FI and/or MGM gives us crap like Scare Tactics, some of the worst movies ever made that insult our intelligence and aren’t even good enough to rate as B movies, Destination Truth, and Ghost Hunters???! They cancel the best and most well written SciFi shows like SGA and Battlestar Gallactica. I quess since America wants crap, SCI-FI will step up to the plate and take the low road.
I don’t buy their excuses for doing this. MGM sees a cash cow in DVD’s plain and simple.
I have to say I’m not overly surprised by this. Hints were all over the place. I feel most sorry for the cast and for all the people who put together the “Save Carson Beckett” campaign. Giving Paul just five episodes always was just placating the fans – throwing them a bone to shut them up.
I’ll watch SG Universe and pray it’s worth a damn, but without Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett and the others, I’m not sure I care all that much.
on August 21, 2008 at 8:07 am Slapea

I really hope that we can all band together to keep Atlantis going. It has life left in it, no matter what the Keller/Woolsey/Carter haters, or the Weir/Ford/Heightmeyer campaigners say. MGM has really screwed Stargate– and not to mention itself– over.

P.S. Hey Joe. Since they have the chemistry, and a lot of fans want to see it, you should get John and Rodney together. I mean, what’s the network going to do? Cancel you?
Ask Martin Gero what happened when a young lady at the Vancouver Con suggested it. The whole hall cheered and clapped. Believe me. I was there. The young lady is my sister.

Okies.. scrub the above ‘I don’t surf’ bit. I’ve finally found someone with enough lack of self-preservation to take me out there. After convincing the guy that skiing with my eyes closed is far more likely to hurt than surfing with 0/0 vision, he agreed and bumped his life insurance a notch or several.

Just gotta figure out what to do with the dog. Somehow, I get the impression the Animal Welfare peeps won’t like me burying him up to his neck in sand till I get back >.>

I have loved Stargate from the first time I saw the original movie in the theatre, was thrilled with Stargate I and when Atlantis came along, well cannot say that I was thrilled to say the least. I mean Stargate had become a phenominal series on both cable and public television and had (has) a large audience. And now a spinoff…com’on. What were they thinking?

Well I had my doubts and when I saw the very first episode I was hooked and have not looked back since.

Since I do not have cable I have had to watch delayed episodes on my local tv channel but its well worth it.
And when Atlantis finally came out on DVD I did what any red blooded dedicated fan would do and purchased all four years.
(Had to ask my son for gas money for my car and groceries but, hey one does have priorities you know.)

I have watched these characters grow each season. And yes I was very serious in the fact that I would have loved to have just a walk on part in one of the shows.

I will miss all these wonderful characters that gave this show its essence and brought it to life. And I know that the actors, writers and all were saddended with this news, but they have given all of us “sci-fi” fans a great show to watch.

Thanks to all who made this series so great. Will miss the new episodes but am greatful for the DVD’s so I can continue to watch.

(Damn should have written sooner to ask about that dang walk in part…LMAO!)

Let’s step out of the hurt locker a moment and delve into the real reasons we are upset about the demise of SGA.

I’ve just finished reading everyone’s comments about SG-Universe and the 25-and-younger demographics they are aiming for. Given the fact that many of our teenagers can’t write a complete sentence, use punctuation or the right use of the word “there/their and to/too/two”, or write a term paper in something other than text language, I think I won’t be planning to watch SG-Universe after all. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not insulting the 25-and-under demographic at large. Many people on this forum fall there. Obviously they have good taste.

So what does this have to do with SG-Universe? If they are aiming for that audience they are going to have to “dumb-down” the show or a larger segment of that demographic simply won’t “get it”. Atlantis is a show with much nuance; humor and subtle statements that will be lost on today’s younger audience.

Many of SGA’s episodes pose real questions to consider about what is right and wrong which is why I think Atlantis appeals to the older demographic like myself. Is it right to experiment on another group of individuals, as evil as they may be, to protect ourselves? Right now some people think that using death-row inmates, whether they like it or not, for experimental drug therapies is acceptable. I am reminded of how experimenting on the wraith they named Michael, against his will had catastrophic results. SGA asks us to think about the consequences of war, the consequences of our actions and how we should rectify them. What should we do when we unleash the sleeping enemy on other nations? Do we worry about ourselves and defend our own or also help those we put in danger (think Iraq). Is it acceptable to use torture to get information? (think Cavanaugh as the suspect for sabotaging Atlantis and Ronan going in to beat the truth out of him)

This is what SGA fans are really going to miss. Not the fact that we won’t be able to watch the hot guys and babes every week; not how much of Tala’s chest are we going to see tonight; not getting to watch how many bullets Sheppard can put into a wraith; not how cool it is to watch someone get their life sucked out of them. This is what MGM and SciFi’s target audience for SG-Universe is going to understand, thus, dumbed-down.

That being said, I am 45 years old and I must note that Joe Flanigan is hotter than a cat on a hot tin roof and brings to life my computer desktop every day. Some days I can’t look at him for fear I will go mad with lust! MGM and SciFi – you suck the big one! Sorry about that. I digressed into a 25-and-under demographic moment.

NO offence but I seriously don’t understand the fans who say that they’re glad that the DVDs are here!We(TRU fans!)want stargate atlantis to continue as a series because we love it,we love the actors.we love having a new episode every week.We love reading spoilers for the first time….all that to say that we love everything in it…I’m speaking for all SGA fans!We don’t want the series to stop!SGA movies won’t be the same at all!!Joe,I know that this wasn’t your decision but….we can’t just give up!in less than 72 hours we collected more than 6200 signatures!!!it doesn’t happen everyday!I know that I’m just an other disappointed fan to you but….(I’m still speaking for all the fans)….delieve me WE NEED YOUR HELP!!comment voulez vous que nous sauvions la serie si vous ne nous aidez pas?!juste un peu de soutien sera le bienvenu su nos forums.on sait que la seriea peu de chance de continuermais…on y croit!pensez vous serieusement que si nous reunissons assez de signatures nous pourons sauver la serie?
on August 24, 2008 at 1:07 am NESSA

J’aurai juste 1seule question,si nous réunissons suffisamment de signatures pensez vous que MGM et Sci fi pouraient changer d’avi?
on August 24, 2008 at 11:53 am Jackie

Saying someone is not a “TRU” fan is very judgemental and harsh. People loved the show for various reasons…and just because its not for the reasons you are upset does not lessen the disappointment that Atalantic was not picked up for another season.
I am greatly saddened by the series not being renewed…and yes I will miss the characters, the actors who played them and yes, even the Atlantis set. Everything fit like a glove and melded so perfectly.

People will miss this series for a variety of reasons…but unless someone can change the minds of the upper echilon its just not going to be renewed plain and simple.

I have signed the petition as well as the other 6,000+ fans have. Hopefully it will make a difference, but again…unless it does then we must say goodbye.

Those who are not taking this decision well may not understand that all things must come to an end and we must move on.
But, ALL Atlantis fans very much realize that the producers, writers, actors and all support people associated with this show gave it 100% so we could have the BEST in a Sci-Fi adventure.

I want it to continue, but again…being realistic is knowing that it probably will not as they have already started another Stargate spinoff series.
on August 24, 2008 at 5:30 pm Joel

Hi Joe,

I have an interesting idea (which I’m sure had already been thought of) for a potential SGA movie down the track.

I know we’ve seen the gould infiltrate Atlantis in the past, but that was only in humans… what would happen if the gould somehow managed to get inside a wraith… ? Jaffa Wraith Guards? Glowing Wraith Eyes? Distorted Wraith Voices!? Possibilities are endless!

Hey I work at the star trek experience in Las Vegas and was wondering if you guys were going to stop by are last day is sept 1.
Was also wondering where you guys would be filming so we could come by and say hello, as we are all be big fans. Thanks
on August 26, 2008 at 1:56 pm Sally Lloyd

Hey Joe,

Sorry about the show being cancelled and all. Only just made my way to you blog and you sound like you are one really cool dude.

I live in bonnie Scotland, in Aberdeen at the moment but I am a fan in transit. (Moving to England sometime in the not too distant future.)

I hope that you will be able to keep SGA going in films and please, please, please from the bottom of my heart, try to find a spot for Radek, Carson and Lorne in the first one even if its a 3 second walk by shot. Oh yes and my other favorite Canadian the Chucknician. LOL Atlantis just wouldn’t be the same with out them.

I hope that there will be lots of SGA movies to come after all ST are about to unleash number 11 I think.

I know that having a movie wont be the same as a series but if it keeps SGA alive, I’m all for it and I am sure that there are more stories to tell.

As for SGU I have to say that just because its for a younger age group doesn’t have to mean that it has to be dumbed down. After all, I know that kids are a lot smarter and more worldly wise than I was. I’m not sure if I will watch because I don’t want to spend 5 years getting in to a show to have it cancelled.

Best of Luck to you and yours

From what source do you get the questions to which you respond in your blog at this site? Is it from comments submitted here or elsewhere (and/or other sites like Gateworld)?

Also, will any or some group of the writers/producers/directors be attending the April 2009 convention in Vancouver?

Cheers
on August 26, 2008 at 9:22 pm Liam

This is the first time I have ever written to a blog or in any way engaged in the interaction of a tv show. Thank you for responding to my quesions.

I have seen a great deal of negative comments about storylines, characters, and those who make SG happen. For what it is worth, I offer my thanks to all those from the creator of SG to those who have sustained its existence to date (actors, directors, writers, producers, and everone one else whose role might seem miniscule), I offer my thanks and appreciation for the longevity SG has sustained.

Liam

p.s. Oh, any suggestions on how one should dress in Vancouver in the month of April?

Had a French friend translate Nessa’s comment

hello, you did no reply to my earlier emai. can you answer. Do think if we gather enough signature, Sci-fi would change their mind. It is not the 1st time a serie would be cancelled and restarted
on August 29, 2008 at 5:41 pm Liam

Joe – I am curious as to interest in California affairs. The Citibank stuff….Up until recently I did not realize how much Canada/Vancouver played in to SGx…then I discover a lot of those involved live in Vancouver. So why would you find the goings on in Cali of any interest? Just curious. Side note, I am from So Cal but have lived in Denver since 1996. I was in Vancouver once before. Uh, a friend from Bellingham ( sp ? ) took me up their to a, hhmm, bar of amateur talent. I’ll leave it at that. I will be there in April, 2009 for the convention. For what its worth, I like your blog, and that you interact so much and on a regular basis. So far, I have not found any of the others involved in SG to have blogs like this. But then, I am a newbie to this convention stuff, even though I go back before anyone ever heard of “Kirk”.

Yay, it took me awhile but i figured out how to ask a question……i think.

Names Mary, long time admirer of your work over here in the uk.

Well this has probably been asked a million times, but i wanted to ask myself.

Whats with the fricking Furlings?!!!

I really need to know. The last reference to the was in 300 where they represented as ewok types (hilarious), how ever i have exhausted my imagination (the best one being that they were really butch warrior types like the klingons) as to what they may look like/be and have resigned myself to believing that either a) they died out many moons ago, b) they split to another galaxy or c) you just have no idea.

As i believe that you can do no wrong i would hate it to be c so please please please put me out of my misery and make something up just so i can stop fretting!

Cheers,

Do not cancel this show. What an excellent tourch bearer for the franchise after the end of SG1. Besides there is so many story threads to get finished it would be impossible to complete them in the final few episodes and I don’t want to hear of movies just yet. I will boycott Sci-Fi over here and have already sent a direct e-mail to them and to Sky who show Stargate over here in Ireland. I am absolutely disgusted that the fans are once again being let down. Don’t go with what Sci-Fi want. Jump ship to someone else if it means we get one or two more seasons out of it. The ride is only half way through. Don’t leave us hanging. Finish Atlantis the way you want to, not the way big fat tv execs who don’t have a clue want to. It happened with Star Trek. Don’t repeat their mistake.
on September 8, 2008 at 6:56 am Jackie

Ok…maybe I am just not informed as most are, but I wasn’t aware that Sci-Fi was cancelling the show I thought it was the production company itself cancelling it. If Sci-Fi were cancelling it surely SGA could find a home on another channel.

I too would love to see some more of the story lines completed before it ends. Where does Ronan go…does he ever find another to share his life with and does he settle down or they both go off to fight the Raith? Does Tayla go back to her tribe… does Col. Sheppard trans to another unit since he has basically no personal ties to Earth so to speak?

Stargate left alot of unanswered questions when it ended its ten year run…I think this time we need closure.
I like to know what happens to the characters on a series when it ends…I am not in favor of a cliff hanger (although Joe has promised not to do one) so I would want to know where all the main characters go.
on September 8, 2008 at 10:09 am Jen K.

Personally I hope the series finale is similar to SG-1, where we see the team members going off on yet another daily mission. I like to think that things keep going on, despite we’re not watching it.
on September 9, 2008 at 2:51 am NESSA

Il n’est pas trop tard!!on peut toujours sauver la série!la plus part des fan ne vont pas regarder SGU!certains par esprit de vengeance(envers Sci fi et MGM!)mais la plus part le fera parce-qu’on a annulé leur série préférée!(dont moi!)Personnellement,je pense que cela va faire baisser les audiences de Sci fi(franchement,je l’espère!!)mais,je garde espoir,RIEN N’EST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!tant que la production Stargate voudra continuer on a 1 chance!!!!
on September 10, 2008 at 4:27 pm Liam

Hi from Montreal!

Two points:

First, in your blogs you mention sending questions, but I see no links, so how can I send questions?

Second, and quite possibly the most important one — I flashed onto a great slogan for fans who want to save the show (especially those who want to demonstrate with signs) –

Canceling Stargate Atlantis is Derentis!

Go ahead and use it! I’ll be proud.

Hi Joe

I’m a big fan of the show and love the blog, although I must confess I followed a link here from Lou Ander’s Blog ‘Bowing to the Future’ rather than a SGA site.

Sign me up as a loyal follower in the pursuit of world domination, book reading and shooting stuff with laser rifles.

I love the Book Club entries so far, let me know if you ever need any suggestions for books from the UK as I work in the retail side of the SF trade.

Keep on writing!

How did Corin Nemec and Christopher Judge get their scripts adopted as SG episodes.

I have an idea and beginnings of a script for a SG-A movie.

It is a bit on the wild side and could change the entire SG Universe.

The end of Stargate…digs deeper even than the end of Farscape. Likely not all agree. I will be in Vancouver, BC in Apr 09…SG Atlantis just ended…I have been watching (email updates) as more cast members are listed to appear in Apr. At the time I signed up it was only Amanda and Connor. Any chance you can get all of the main characters from all of SG together in one place…for one last time? Oh, and well, any chance you can get a cross over to Firefly cast attendee’s? Just a thought…for what its worth…I will follow SGU. Side note…don’t know why so many dis Joseph…as far as I can tell he is the most interactive to those who watch the show.

on September 23, 2008 at 5:11 am Jo Wilson

Hi there Joe. Just writing to say how sad and disappointed I am that Stargate Atlantis is being cancelled but I’m going to go out on a limb here…and probably earn myself a few enemies along the way to say that I think things started going wrong when TPTB decided to pretty much kill off two main characters in the space of a few episodes. First Beckett (which left me randomly bursting into tears for days) then Elizabeth (which left me yelling at the TV).

No offence, but what on EARTH were TPTB THINKING? It seems that that over the years they’ve stopped caring about what the fans think and in some respects I’m not surprised it’s finally come to this.

The way in which the Elizabeth/Nanite/Replicator storyline was ‘tied up’ was pretty bad. I know there were issues surrounding Torri and whatever else but I thought it could have been dealt with in a better manner.
I’m also going to say, whilst I adore Claudia Black, Jewel Staite and the other characters who joined later from other shows but doesn’t it seem a little odd that these actors were hired after their own programmes were cancelled by SCI FI then both SG1 and Atlantis suffer the same fate? I’ve said it before. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I have been a long standing fan of Stargate since I was nine and I have been bullied and ridiculed for it and I feel we have been screwed over one too many times now.

Also, the Sam/Jack-will they? won’t they? is driving me NUTS! When are we going to get some closure?

Sorry. I am by no means trying to insult you directly but you do seem to be one of the few who actually take the time to listen to the fans. Rant over

If one has an idea for a Stargate Atlantis movie that they know has merit and possibilities and everyone they told it to has loved it what should they do?
on October 5, 2008 at 2:41 am dominique

I’m French and I’m very upset. What have done? Have you loose your minds. Cancel the best sci-fi show! I received a slap this day and I don’t appreciate the method, kill a show Atlantis to run SGU. It’s a really bad idea. Have you respected the fan base? Have you respected all the work made by you and the cast?
I follow the Stargate franchise since the beginning. When I saw for the first time the Atlantis pilot I’ve caught by this new show. I’ve been enthusiastic by the characters John Sheppard, Teyla, McKay. At this time you run the 2 shows alongside. SG1 arrived to its end and I continued to watch weekly Atlantis. This show is really amazing thanks of the line stories, the cast. The show become better and better. And now what do you do? You cancel it when it has the best rate (I read 1.93) It has the best episodes. When the relationships between the characters become strong, evolved well, where the complicity between the actors is obvious.
Thanks for me Joe Flanigan, David Helwett for this. There is a great chemistry between them but also between Rachel Luttrell and Jason Momoa whose makes the success too.
You kill this show to replace by SGU. I tell you I don’t believe at all to this show. It’s seems to me a space travel like voyager. How can you believe that young people can participate to Stargate program? I’m 49 years old and I’m obviously not in the part demographic target.
I can tell you that I don’t believe in the movie because I prefer following weekly the characters and it’s another method to kill twice the show in my opinion. I’m Seri fan not movie. Have one yearly movie against 20 hours of series. I do my choice quickly. Without doubts the series.
Hear the anger of the loyal fans.

Joseph Mallozzi a écrit:”A fallacious argument, suggesting that More Keller = Less Teyla. It might be true if we’d simply slotted Keller into stories intended for Teyla but the truth is we never intended for Teyla to be the damsel in distress in Tracker (frankly, it wouldn’t have made much sense) nor did we ever consider pursuing any sort of love triangle between Teyla, Sheppard, and Ronon (sorry Sheyla’s, Royla’s, Teypard’s, and Teynan’s).”.PAR PITIé!!dites moi qu’il ne veut pas dire qu’ils n’ont jamais prévu que John & Teyla se mettraient ensemble!!!qu’ils ne sont pas amoureux!!!

I hope this is the right section to ask this..

I have been a fan of McKay since he first appeared on SG1.

I have just loved the way his character has grown since he has been on atlantis, I love the way you have incorporated his real life sister into the show…aswell.

Its like the Deluise boys, they have shown up in SG1 a fair few times.

Its Peter still part of the Crew at Stargate,

My question, I like the character Mckay and David Hewlet is a amazing actor, just adored his performance in Duet and the episode where he gets stucks in a jumper under water.
The name of that episode escapes me at the moment.

I feel he is unlucky in love, Will he ever make a move on keller.?

Jewel staite is a great actress, I saw her in serenity / firefly.

As SGA is now going over to film format will the story arc with Keller continue, and will we see Kate again…?

So it is with great pride and a lot of trepidation…. in order to escape my abductors…..that I put myself forward as one of your stalkers….sorry strike that and replace with fearless fan.
Please excuse any spelling mistakes Joe as one of my friendly captors Abdul is transcribing this for me as I’m not allowed any sharp objects…..yet!

Ah where was I oh yes…. walks on the beach, the desert is quite nice this time of year, not much water so it doesn’t really qualify as a beach, so no to that one.

Long discussions on books, sci-fi…..now when you say long discussions what’s the average? Ten twenty minutes, any longer than that and my attention span does a nose dive. I envy a goldfishes seven seconds.

Haute cuisine, Abdul and I have had many ‘friendly’ discussions on this topic. I still insist that Haggis is a delicacy and not the spawn of Satan. We’ve agreed to disagree.

World domination, wow cool let’s get to it. Dibs on China….well what can I say I like the food.

on November 7, 2008 at 2:34 am dominique

I’ve just discovered ” across the universe” and reading it I feel hurting by the Cooper’s statement.

http://stargate.mgm.com/news_detail.php?id=114

“As fans slowly get over the news that Stargate Atlantis will not be continuing to air for a sixth season ” We don’t give up and I do not belong to those slowly get over. I don’t accept your abrupt decision.
You should know many of them are very disappointed by their behaviour to us. They should know many of them don’t accept you to kill best show Atlantis. How can they ignore the sending of lemons, the mails and snail mails received? We left here some statements to B. Wright and he’s never respond.
How can they ignore the petition?
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SaveSGA/signatures/pg/524

“Some fans have queried the wisdom of having such young characters, but Cooper points to the youth of Stargate SG-1’s cast when it launched” Yes a part of the cast was young but they don’t cast young characters.

“The team that ends up on the ship is not really who was supposed to go, and in some cases they’re very unprepared and unqualified to be in that situation…..the challenges are greater than they would be for people who have seen it all and don?t have as far to go as characters when they encounter an incredible situation.”

Young unprepared and alone in one ship. Unrealistic.

“There will certainly be plenty of opportunity for cross over, and there certainly might be some familiar faces in the premiere and in subsequent episodes.” Lost in space but there will be some cross-over with some familiar faces. I thought the ship lost in space and alone. New bones throw to us. How these cross-over will be possible.

“fans eager to know will just have to sit tight” Absolutly not.

To Mr. Cooper and Mr. B. Wright: I’m so tired to see them showing us so disrespect, scorn and take his own desire for ours. They are so condescending. They hurt me alot. They try to tell us what we think. You abandon us, the show Atlantis, the cast and the characters and Stargate franchise too.
You’re going to loose a lot. You seem so exciting by your new toy but I feel so disappointed.

Yesterday you spoke about Atlantis and the characters and how they were great( sheppard MacKay Teyla and Ronon) Now where are they?
“One of the most fascinating aspects of working on a show like Stargate: Atlantis is the passion with which fans express their love for the series. Sometimes, they’ll convey their loyalty by attending conventions, joining online communities, or posting their thoughts on this very blog. Other times, they may organize a petition drive, demonstrate outside the studio, or “send an angry letter threatening to key my car”( don’t do this).
You know how we are related to the show and its characters. Why do you destroy all this work?

My fight save Atlantis. I hate this idea to create a new show on the still warm dead body of Atlantis.

Hi Joe,

I just want to say THANK YOU! for maintaining your own blog. It is really interesting to read so lots about the things going on behind the scenes. And I learned some things about good food, too.

Sure it is sad that SGA was cancelled. But life goes on. It hit me harder when SG-1 was cancelled. But SGA was a good show, too.
However you can’t make everybody happy with your or the studio’s actions. But the things Dave Howe said about the fans were kind of cruel.

“There’s obviously a passionate audience for Atlantis and the characters of Atlantis,” Howe said. “And yes, they’re absolutely going to continue in the movie franchise. But people need to mourn for a while and come to terms with it. I don’t anticipate that that will subside quickly. But once Universe is on air and they have kind of their next fix of the Stargate franchise, I think hopefully people will realize that it’s in safe hands at Sci Fi, that we really value this franchise and it’s in our interest and the fans’ interest to let us continue the story and figure out how to retell it for a new audience every few years.”

I think we were a good audience for the Stargate series all these years. And our age does not matter, we were, are and will be SciFi Fans! And to say to us, that we are not the right or the target audience, just sucks!

Greetings from Germany,

You know, I don’t know if I’m the only verbal one on this opinion, but…

At least the stargate lives on in Universe. If it had stopped altogether, ie no Universe, no upcoming movies, etc… then people would cry for sure.

As for me, I think I like SG-1 and Atlantis in their own ways, so here’s to hoping that Universe will prove just as enjoyable (which I’m sure it will and Mr M and all the other ppl on board will do a great job as usual).
(sadly enough, I don’t watch any of the episodes, cos I can’t… but I do get to read the transcripts with many thanks to Callie Sullivan on GateWorld.)

So… ppl who like to complain, pls read through all the complaints and see whether there is anything more to complain about than to read complaint after complaint after complaint.

Hi Joe,

First of all I would like to say I absolutely love Stargate… both Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. I am a fan in the mildest sense. Unlike other fans, I have to admit that I don’t know which writers have written their specific episodes. Probably because I enjoy every episode. I am a fan probably because I own every Stargate Atlantis DVD Box set (Not SG-1, coz I started watching it really late) but still watch the syndicated shows on T.V. I hold my own marathons before a season starts. I even got my own brother to watch AND get addicted to it, too. Plus every Friday night when I go out with my friends to have a few drinks I always tell them to go ahead. They all know that I stay home til I finish an SGA episode… and that I record the episodes in my DVR, and whenever I come home, be it at 2am or 4am, I watch the episode again. I am also a shipper. I was disappointed with the whole Ronon/Keller/McKay thing an how it all turned out, but I respect the whole decision of it… It’s either you disappoint the McKellers or the RononKeller fans. I was sad to hear about SGA and how this is their last season. But I guess quitting while you’re on top is the best thing.

Aside from me congratulating you on the success of the stargate franchise and thanking you for providing us with great entertainment for more than a decade, part of why I’m doing this is because of one small pathetic reason: It’s very pathetic and desperate, I’m telling you… and I still can’t believe that I’m doing this. I guess like I said, it’s out of desperation. Apart from Stargate, my main loves in life are my family and my job. I absolutely love my job. But about 3 hours ago, I learned from my boss who is one of my very best friends that I might not have it anymore in the weeks that will come. It’s the economy. Two weeks ago, I thought I was free and clear. Now as I am sitting here in front of my laptop, after having searched through job sites for over 2 hours, I realized that my skill as a designer is not as important as I thought it was. They no longer need people like me. My boss says that I would find it easier to find a job since I’m young, attractive and have lots of skills. Yeah right. Someone once told me that I was over qualified. So to soothe my ruffled feelings and mind I turned to what usually makes me smile, reading your blog and gateworld. I came upon the article of the casting call again. And there I saw, ‘Tamara Jon 20-25, all ethnicities (Asian Preferably)’. Godsend? Or maybe a sign? Or maybe a kick in the head… because eversince I was 16 talent agents have tried convincing me to audition for this and that… but I always declined. Why? Probably because of the lack of self-confidence that I had back then. But now, when agents are still after me? I really don’t know. Maybe it’s coz I’ve been designing for five years now, and it seems like acting or modeling might not be for me. But see, what caught my eye with Tamara Jon’s description was the age and ethnicity… I just turned 26, and people still say I look way younger than what I really am… sometimes they say I look like I’m 17, kinda creepy especially when they’re older men giving me suggestive looks… And I’m also Asian. Filipino to be precise. So why am I writing this? I still don’t know. Maybe I’m just venting. Or maybe I haven’t absorbed the shock of it all. I’m just starting to realize that I might not have a job tomorrow. I have never been in a situation like this before. One thing is for sure though, maybe if I had pursued a modeling career, I probably wouldn’t be crying my eyes out right now. Maybe through a modeling or aacting career I would’ve made made my way into being a set designer by now… or a costume designer, I’ve always loved the movies anyway, and dreamed of being in a set one day, either to be in front of the camera or behind-the-scenes. Maybe I should’ve started that way, instead of working directly for an architect. The whole point of this? Maybe I’m actually wishing that by some miracle, I might find a job that I love again. Because that’s my whole point of being… to love what I do, because I love life so much… that to do a job for the sake of money is just not how I would like to go through life. But then life is never easy and I have to suck it up. Maybe I should’ve gone to church when my parents had asked me to. Maybe, maybe, maybe… Oh wait… this isn’t MY blog, is it? So sorry for the overly long monologue… I got carried away. But I’m just gonna put it out there, since I’ve embarrassed myself enough. I do not know how to contact whoever I need to contact. But I would really appreciate an email or contact number (fax, office no., whatever) so that maybe I could send a resume. I figured that since I’m no good in doing things that I don’t like doing, and there isn’t anything else for me to do… Not a lot of people are hiring designers who can use CAD these days… then maybe I could (by some miracle) work for my favorite program (or rather the franchise) using my talents.

I am now going to click the “Submit Comment” and embarrass myself. Thank you!

Je vous écrit en espérant que vous pouvez traduire/comprendre le Français.
Voilà j’ai plusieures questions :

1. J’aimerais savoir si il est possible de communiquer des idées pour la future série “Stargate Universe”.

2. Est il possible pour un fan de s’inscrire pour un casting sur le tournage d’un épisode ? Comment ?

3. Dans Stargate, n’est-il pas étonnant que l’anglais soit la langue la plus parlé dans deux galaxies ?
Ne serait-il pas possible de parler de traducteurs intégrés comme des mini-oreillettes dans un épisode de Stargate Universe, afin d’éliminer cette incohérence ? Ces traducteurs pourraient avoir été inventés par les anciens et trouvés en même temps que la porte des étoiles. Puis produit en masse grace aux recherches de la zone 51 pour les équipes SG et Atlantis sans qu’il en soit fait mension jusqu’ici. Enfin c’est juste une idée.

4. Pour changer, ne serait-il pas possible que l’extra-terrestre du groupe Stargate Universe soit un Furling ?
Qu’il s’agisse en fait d’un Elfe farceur, insouciant, facécieux mais puissant. Avec divers pouvoirs psychiques comme la télépathie et/ou la télékinésie. Un être ingénieux et bricoleur, qui ne prend rien au sérieux doté d’un humour sarcastique, exaspérant mais qui va évoluer au fil des épisodes. On apprendrait ainsi qu’au fond il est triste et mélancolique d’être le dernier représentant de sa race mais qu’il le cache par son humour comme un masque. Au cours des aventures il pourrait mûrir, prendre conscience de l’importance de certaines choses, devenir plus sérieux ou en tout cas moins insouciant. Cela ferait un bon personnage je pense. Voilà, c’est tout, qu’en pensez vous ?

Hi Joe

I was saddened to hear that SGA is not going to be on any more, as I was when I found that SG1 was finishing, but things change as they must, that is life things always move on like a big wheel always turning, at least we will have another Stargate to watch, I will look forward to it being aired, and hopefully will be able to watch it as well which would be a bonus.

I have read all your blogs on here and all the replies with much interest, I like listening and reading other peoples different opinions on things, it makes for a interesting life.

I am curious as to whether you will have any of the SG1 or SGA characters in the new stargate though, but I suppose that would be telling really wouldn’t it, hmm but it would be nice to see at least one familiar face in it all.

Regards
Karen

Hello,

Just a word to tell you thank for those years with Stargate, I hope it will continue for a long time.

And maybe one suggestion, “grande cuisine” is better than “haute cuisine”. Even if “hot cuisine” is the best one ^_^ but if you said “haute” it’s like “haute couture”, isn’t ?

I’m playing on words, anyway, Thank.
on December 21, 2008 at 8:50 am Jessica

I apologize, a friend just told me than we actually use the term “haute cuisine” even if “grande cuisine” is more common.

Sorry, I’d think before write anything next time. ^^

RIP SG-1 and SGA, the two finest science fiction shows ever. At least we’ll have hundreds of episodes left to re-watch and find new things in them every time.
Can’t wait for SGU!!!! sounds like a great addition to the Stargate lore.
I remember how we got into SG. 2004, I showed the original 94 Stargate film to a couple friends. We decided to Netflix SG-1 and then we were hooked! Watching 3-4 episodes a week, we quickly caught up right before season 9 started. We also got into Atlantis at that time. We were watching so much SG that we had dreams we were part of a team. SG-457! HA

Dear me, someone in Hollywood who is encouraging people to read without it being a condition of their parole? Did I die?

Anyway Dave Freer and Eric Flint’s “Slowtrain To Arcturus” is a great read too, If you like classic era SF you’ll adore this book too.

And yes, I admit my bias.

Change that for the movies please!

Keep up the good work,

on January 13, 2009 at 11:26 pm charlie mackenna

well, I rock with laser rifles and world domination is my specialty, so I guess, that means I’m in? lol. I like reading, so I’ll take you up on that and I’m a pretty big SG fan. Lookin’ forward to Universe and the upcoming movies.

I do have one question though (okay, it’s more my brother and his wife’s but they won’t ask) will we ever see Jack and Sam officially together…and by that I mean not in a dream, they’ll both remember it, yadda yadda yadda. lol.
on January 22, 2009 at 4:07 pm Christophe Iniesta

Hello Mr. Mallozzi,

I am a huge fan of stargate and i’ve grown up with it.
Actually , the casting of Stargate Universe is in progress, and i don’t know if you have found an actress for the character of Chloe Walker, but i would like to propose you one. She is named “Sarah Carter”, and as far as i know she is not under a contract at the moment.

Recently she has played in the TV show “Shark” which last a year ago. She is in my humble opinion a very good actress and will be a good asset for the cast of SGU.

Thank you for reading me and good evening to you.
on January 26, 2009 at 12:20 pm Shiningwit

What is it about world domination that gets people so excited? I’d settle for an early night and a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows anything else is just a waste of effort, believe me I’ve tried. I am a crack shot with a catapult and was from a very early age thanks to my Grandad who made me one (he was an engineer and it was a shit-hot cataplut)…hey! I typed cataplut..I like it, its staying! Anyways we were both in deep shit when we inadvertently bust something of grandmas and it was ceremoniously confisticated….I got it back 20 years later tho and was as good as ever after a couple of practice shots over the hedge into a nearby nudist colony.
on January 30, 2009 at 9:41 pm Shawna

My, my. How have I manged to not comment on this yet? Well, you know I’m always happy to assist in world domination. Just say the word and I’ll shine up my laser rifle and strap on my ninja stars. I may not have the best aim, but I make up for it with enthusiasm (and anyway, what’s a few severed ears compared with someone who’s willing to tar and quarter interlopers for you?)

Hi Mr Mallozzi, I know it’s a long time off, but when is Stargate Universe going to be broadcast in Britain? I know it is due for broadcast in the US in the fall, but is it going to be broadcast in Britain at the same time, towards the end of the year, or at some point next year? I am a huge fan of the whole Stargate franchise, I didn’t particularly enjoy Atlantis at the beginning of it’s run, but really enjoyed it towards the end of its run, but I am really looking forward to Universe and the next SG-1 film and the Atlantis film.

Please let me/all of us know,

thanks!
on February 21, 2009 at 5:08 pm Andrew Brindley

Hello, just thought of another question, will there be oppertunites for fans to appear in either an Atlantis or an SG-1 movie, or in future seasons of Universe???

Joe, you’re an exceptionally brave man by having your own blog and leaving it open to comments. Kudos; I’d be far too yellow to give fans a direct line into your life.

Good luck with SGU, I look forward to see how the universe (you see what I did there, eh?!) develops.
on March 2, 2009 at 10:13 pm Lisa Yimm

Hey Joe (sorry, couldn’t resist),

I love your blog – I usually read it on RSS – your posts are amusing and insightful, even on those days when nothing amuses me about this industry.

I’m at a loss, and hope you might be able to help. I’ve put the finishing touches on a proof-of-concept I have for the Sanctuary folks, only to find that all the contact links I had went *poof*.

Could you help by passing a message on? We were still fixing bugs when you posted your call for Q’s for Amanda last week – and I know that time is growing short. I would be happy to send you a secure link to the project files if you’d like to vet it beforehand (it’s a concept that could easily apply to SGU & Destiny). Thanks again.

Hi Mr. Mallozzi,

a little greating from Denmark!

I´ve been a huge fan of Stargate ever since the first movie came out and continued my passion for scifi and mythology!

I today hold a Bachelor in Egyptology( sadly, I´m not working in that field) due to the impact Stargate have made on me and since I´ve always been a huge Scifi fan, I´ve now gotten my back tattooed as a tribute to my passion and You and Your colleagues work on Stargate!

I´ve provided You a link to a blog, if You have any interest in seeing the result so far?

It´s a combination of the sign of Anubis, Pegasus/milkiway-Stargates and the adresses of Earth and the original Atlantis side!

I´m so looking forward to Universe to start airing, so I can get the final touch done on the tattoo!

I want the Destiny adress in the middle!
(So let me know if You want some pre-air advertising of the show for free….)

Sincerely

Kasper Kvistgaard

Joseph Mallozzi,,,,,,,What the hell are you thinking Ending Stargate Atlantis? The only good show on and you end it!!! Are you brain dead? or Are you wanting to kill off SciFi all together?? That was the only good one on!! Me, like many others are going to the BBC channels as SciFi is still alive there… Not happy!!!

I was just looking through some of your old posts and I was wondering if there was anyway I could see the videos that used to accompany them??

Thanks!
on March 23, 2009 at 5:47 pm Matt

I chose Atlantis for one of my spring specs. A few rough drafts and I’m positive my pacing is off.

What kind of instructions did you have for action beats? Was there ever a quota? Did you ever feel you were guilty of killing a script with dialogue?
on March 24, 2009 at 7:04 am BlondieChemGirl

Dear Joseph,

I was wondering if you ever read the book “Reading Stargate – SG1″? It is a book of essays and commentaries about the Stargate genra. It is very interesting. I didn’t realize the Stargate got that deep. Thanks for the Stargate franchise and please(!) keep it going.

With fond regards,

Dear Mr. Mallozzi,

I want to ask you, if you can give me the meaning (phoneme) of the Stargate Symbols e.g. Stargate Symbol for Earth is At. Like Planet Praklarush Taonas at Stargate SG-1 Season 7 Epsiode 21/22 – Lost City (http://stargate-wiki.de/index.php/Stargate-Symbole).

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely yours

Joe,
Will we see the Ancients’ form of fighters (ie, like our f-303s?) on the destiny. 2. will we ever get to see the seeder ship? 3. i have been seeing a lot of posts on forums with fans thinking there is only one ship and most people are confused about the seeder ship concept.

on March 29, 2009 at 6:20 am Jim

Joe – Have there been any thoughts to continuing either SG-1 or Atlanta though Comics Books or Graphic Novels? I know some were made a while back, and thought that might be a great opportunity to keep fans happy with new stories, but do it at a lower budget. Thanks for the blog!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:52 am BlondieChemGirl

Dear Joe,

Great April Fools joke on Ashleigh, but I am really glad she got you back. I still have visions of her helping “Elizabeth (xxx)” unpack and repack her husband corpse for the convention in Burbank(?). It might be a good idea to work from home this week, but it would be difficult to keep an eye on her from there.
Hope all is going well for everything Stargate and enjoy the convention. Wish I was there.

let me just saw that i cant believe a show doing so well and with such a big following like stargate atlantis should not have ended that way yes this is months late but i think that it should have at least gone for the 10 seasons that most people were thinking becuase even when SG-1 was struggling it made it that far and this new show universe with almost no characters from the original 2 shows looks like a cheap knock off an i think that the way that atlantis ended will hinder the fan base of this new show

Hi Joe,

Just started watching your blog last week – you are one funny/clever guy – and you talk about all things Stargate- I am hooked!
I do have a question though- Shep has had 2 “liasions” with acended women when they took human form – any chance of a little shep to come back to see him in the future?

I’d be happy to send you a copy of our latest issue (or a digital copy if you swing that way). Greatest Uncommon Denominator Magazine is 200+ pages of literary+genre fiction, poetry, art, and more–so we’ve got your categories covered.

Thank you for all the work you’ve done with Stargate. My wife and I are big fans!

Hi Joe,
I was wondering where I can email a character idea to you. I have inserted said character into cannon of season four of Atlantis, and I know that the script for the movie is finished, but for future scripts, maybe an idea. I know that you said anything is possible in regards to Sheppard ending up with a significant other. This character would be that other. Please let me know if you would be willing to accept the idea. If not it is okay. I just thought I would ask. Thanks. Can’t wait for the movie and SGU.

you using for screenwriting? Can you may send me an email?

Thanks! I am your F.A.N. (frustrated and nancified )
on June 1, 2009 at 9:54 am Jeff

In the finale of Atlantis there was a new ship, the Sun Tzu, that had never been established in Dialogue before. Ellis mentioned that the Sun Tzu was loosing air, and the Appollo was taking on its survivors. Was this intended to be an ill-fated, black-mail financed, Chinese BC-304 similar to the Russian ship Korrelev?

The only reason I ask is due to the fact that it seems given the presence of other nationalities in the gate-everse, americans often have less severe mortality. i.e the Chinese and Russians are the token red-shirts

Joe,
I am a long time Stargate fan. I got my Dad watching it, and he says it is way better than Star Trek (he has been a Trekkie for years). I want to thank the Stargate teams for all the wonderful shows, and even the ones I didn’t like. I read your blog and think that SGU will be great. I love the actors you have hired and the teasers look interesting. Sadly, I will not be able to watch. I lost my job and had to give up cable (or starve). Will Sci-Fi put any episodes on their website to watch? My closet family with cable is an hour and a half away. If not, I will gladly miss a few meals to buy the DVD’s when/if they come out. Please keep up the good work. My neice is also a fan of the show and has decided that she wants to be just like McKay when she grows up. Even though Sam is also a physicist, she thinks Sam is too military. Thanks again.

Hey there Joe.

I can’t wait to see SGU. I am looking forward to seeing how the ideas all play out.

Also love the cast. Robert Carlyle. Wow what a coup!!! The teasers have really got me interested.

I have watched all five seasons of SGA after having got in to the last two seasons of SG-1. I have enjoyed all of it. I know that I may be in a minority but I liked the McKay/Keller rel in season five.

I have the first four seaasons of SGA on DVD (a fact that is causing me much angst as I cant seem to find any of them. I only have one disc from season three because it was in my player!! LOL)

I hope that there are more SG-1 movies and that the SGA movies get to go ahead. Is that likely?

Rock on and keep up the good work.

Thanks for taking me on the ride of my life and I didnt even have to get of my sofa!!

Best wishes

Hi Joe, I love Stargate Atlantis, and i can’t wait for the movie. I did have one question. Who is the costume designer for the movie? Thanks for all the great years of Stargate. I’m looking out for SGU….

I have been reading your blog for several months now after I found it on one of the various Stargate web sites, never commenting but enjoying the perspective of Stargate behind the scenes look and life, food, book reviews and dogs. I just thought I say Hi. Don’t know if this is where to post questions (sorry forgot where to send them)but here it goes a question came up on the forums of another web site that was debated and no one had the answer ” How old is the Character Vala?” if you could provide you insight on this and use it to put the isseu to rest. If you want to email me back, or just mailbag it, it ok with me. Thanks, Jeremy

Hey Joe,
I’m just wondering, in the newest SGU trailer we see that the whole gate spins, I just can’t work out how the symbols for the required gate address are going to lock? Thanks.

Dear Joseph,

I know many people write you so I’ll make this short.

I’ve heard about the budget restrictions due to the rise of the canadian dollar and how this has had an impact on your proyects. And I believe I have a solution which you will find interesting.

I Live In Bogotá Colombia in South America and I’m a HUGE! fan of StarGate Atlantis. I recently found out that some american producers where coming to shoot episodes and even whole seasons in the Fox Telecolombia studios in Bogota. I’ve heard that the production costs are cut by almost 300% with no adverse effect to Quality.

A good example of this is the series “mental” of wich I post a link underneath this comment.

http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/tvbizwire/2008/06/fox_shoots_mental_in_bogota.php

I´m just a fan, but if I can help bring back Atlantis, I´ll do anything in my power to make this possible, even commit the staff at my company to help out. PLEASE! investigate what I´m telling you and you´ll find out It´s true.

Well, you have my mail, please tell me I´f you found this post of your interest.

Take care.

Dear Mr Mallozzi,

Please, please, please ! If he belongs to the cast, no more wig on Jason Momoa’s head in Stargate: Extinction! It’s very awful ! it’s seems like an octopus on a rugbyman! Not at all like his real dreadlocks!
I love Ronon Dex and I’m sure you can find a solution for him! Perhaps a little cut to charm Amélia Banks!
Thank you for all these fabulous TV shows and good kisses from Castelnaudary (worldwide capital of the “Cassoulet”)

PS: I apologize for my English, I’m only a little frenchie!

I miss Ford, Weir, and Beckett as main cast members. I hope you can find a way to bring them back for good in the movie. Keller should move on. Wolsey should go back to the IOA. And well, everybody loves Ronan, so he should stay. Just my thoughts.

Thanks
on August 9, 2009 at 3:52 pm Foster

Oh – Hey,

And since the show is over and who knows how many movies are coming – Can you please put Teyla and Sheppard together??!!! That would be wonderful!!!

That’s it – Thanks again.

Dear Joe, I’ve only just found your blog so apologies if you’ve answered this a hundred times already, maybe hundred and one will be okay?

Can you please clear up the confusion of the SGA movie? I’ve read recently a post by D.Hewitt stating to his knowledge there is no movie, a script was written but it’s been dropped. Is this true? If so, why? The SGA fans would buy this in droves.

Again, apologies if you’ve answered this but I would really like a definitive answer.

Thank you.

Dear Joe,
just read your post from May ,3rd 2009 about SGC set on Stage 5.I´m asking myself if the set has changed so much,what are the plans for further SG-1 Movies?I don´t think you will reverse just for a Movie.Or will there be no shots inside SGC.
Sry for my bad English I´m from Germany but I hope you will answer my question.

Dear Joe,

I’m a British stargate fan and fan of science fiction generally and I’ve been reading your blog for a wee while now. One of the things I like about your blog entries are the insights you provide on producing Stargate, they are fascinating – keep up the good work!

I’m also a keen reader of books and I notice that you have read a heck of a lot of sci fi novels. To this end could you suggest a really good sci fi novel – something you’ve read and enjoyed? John Scalzi perhaps??

Thanks for reading!

For SG1 there were two gates the SGC gateroom Gate. and offset, planet Gate. For SGA there was 1 actual physical gate, the physical atlantis gateroom one, where all gateshots on different planets were CGI. From the looks of universe their appears to once again be two gates. What sparked the drop, then rise in the number of physical gates used in filming?
on September 2, 2009 at 1:55 pm Jeff

The next SG1 movie was originally supposed to be direct to DVD, then air on the Sci-Fi channel, same as the last two. When the SGA movie was announced, it sounded like it would first air on Sci-Fi then goto DVD after a moderate amount of time. Now it sounds as though the Atlantis Movie will go straight to DVD then to Sci-Fi like the other movies. Is this correct and if so Why the change?

Question for Dave Blue

I read you were a huge SG fan to begin with,

1). We’ve all wanted to be a part of something we love. You actually got to do it. What is it like for you to be part of something you’ve been a fan of for a long time?

2). With your prior knowledge of the “Stargate Universe”….What was it like being the ‘tour guide’ for your fellow actors in this new universe introducing them to the lore?

3). When Actor Michael Shanks was onset, did you do the “Chris Farley SNL thing he used to do with Paul McCartney”…. and say things like “Remember that time when Daniel Jackson become a Prior….(wait for “Yup” response from M.S.)… That was cool.” or “Remember that time when Daniel Jackson died, again…(wait for “Yup” response from M.S.)… That was cool.”

Anyways… Best of luck on the new show, I’m counting the days!

Hey, have not heard or seen much of Ming-na and her character see any photos or news. How about an update on her (character, photos, etc)?

How about database of your food reviews? or at least a list of restaurants by city. I travel a lot and could use your referrals to good food.

PS hoping to hit michael chiarello’s bottega in 2 weeks.

Joe,

Why was the decision made to release the the priemiere episodes exclusively to the press (prior to the actual priemiere date) with a really cool looking cover where the Chevrons actually light up?

Considering that the shows producers have credited the series success to the fan base don’t you this may make some fans mad?
on September 29, 2009 at 10:14 am Jeff

Joe, Thanks for the response, but you kind of missed the point of my inquiry.

I understand that press kits goto ‘the press’. But given that Stargate has gotten to where it is partially because of the fans, (and the other part being the creative staff like you), rather than due to press coverage, don’t you think that releasing these already highly anticipated episodes exclusively to the press to generate buzz, might be seen as a slap in the face to Stargate’s pre-established fanbase?
on October 3, 2009 at 5:55 pm Morena

I personally couldn’t watch the SGU premier without sighing every few minutes. I thought this show might be okay because I am a fan of character interaction, and don’t need tons of action to be interested in a show. That is how the show was promoted. But, this show didn’t do it for me.

I miss Atlantis. I really liked those characters. And I wasn’t even a fan of some of the season 4-5 changes with the cast (Ford, Weir, and Beckett Rule!!), but it was way better than SGU. If people like SGU, more power to them. But, it’s definately not the show for me.

Joe, please write a great Atlantis movie to make up for this. The episodes with lots of charater interaction (especially seasons 1-3) on Atlantis were the best!!!
on October 7, 2009 at 5:46 pm Maggy Kelly

Hi Joe! I’m a newbie to your blog and have enjoyed it so far… only have been reading since the end of August/ early September.

I’ve been so excited to see SGU! My only real concern was that I kind of don’t have th SyFy channel (gasp!) and how was I to see the show?! Thank goodness On Demand is there to save the day! I see it, just 24 hours laters and mostly without commercials.

First impressions: as everyone was flying through the gate, I was wonder, “What the heck is going on?” Then I realized it was a present starting point and was right there with you. Before seeing Air III , I will be sure to watch the first one again just to get the main characters down… there are so many! I know Rush (already drives me nuts), Scott, Eli, and Chloe… and Greer. Oh, Greer… the problem child.

I am totally curious how you’re going to bring all the othe characters that were beamed up to Carter’s ship or who are on Earth. I’m buckled in and ready for the ride!
on October 10, 2009 at 8:42 pm Judy

Alexi Murdoch sings/wrote Breathe. You can fnd his music in the recent movie- Away We Go. I have been on the fence about this one, but loved the song at the end of Air so now I want to see it.

Thanks for the intro to the artist. Who selected the song?

Love the blog!

is this where we post questions about the show? if so I have a question about an answer you gave.”

Even assuming he was right that the explosion could have transferred through the gate to Earth, there had to be numerous other places they could have gone.

Isn’t there safety protocols that prevent this from happening? I believe this is how Teal’c got stuck in the Stargate?
on October 12, 2009 at 6:08 pm ian

had a question i brought up in another forum, hoping you could answer it.

Why don’t the planets they go to visit in SGU have different stargates? The gate on the Destiny is the ONLY gate that requires the 9th chevron address, and it doesn’t have a point of origin, so it makes sense that it has a unique gate. But then the gates in the galaxies should have a different gate from that on the Destiny, since they are used within the galaxy itself. Like Pegasus and Milky Way have their own gates.

By the way, I was a fan of SGA can’t wait for the movie
on October 14, 2009 at 3:01 pm Brian

Is there any news on the sg-1 and atlantis movies, and is it true; that if Extinction succeeds the SGA series will be picked back up? Question 3: How would the Destiny know that 4 of the 5 available gates were dangerous? Can’t wait ’til friday

It’s maybe the bad moment for ask this question , if it’s right i’m so sorry .

Dark Zero: no, explosions translate through the gate still. Teal’c got stuck because the DHD was destroyed while he was in the gate’s buffer, prepared to be reintegrated.

First off … truly excellent work on all the shows.

I am a writer, I’ve got some short stories, screenplays and teleplays under my belt, and would love nothing more than to work on a show like Stargate. However, I realize landing that job right out of the gate is unlikely. I was wondering if you had any advice on getting writing gigs and/or other odd jobs around a television production.

Thanks

Any ideas if Kavan Smith (Major Lorne SGA) has a Blog site any where. Please let me know – be very grateful.
on October 28, 2009 at 9:46 pm Tiffanie

Hey Joe, I just wanted to drop a line tell you that i’m really enjoying SGU. I am a huge fan of Atlantis. But after what i’ve seen online the last few days about Scott/Chole, I just wanted to let you know that there are people out there who get it. I glad that relationships are being shown in the show so early… and i think it sucks that people are being so judgmental and rude to all of you (cast and crew) about it… I guess i see it from a similar point of view to you… to some up, know that many, many people are on your side… best of luck and I’m pulling you all!
on November 1, 2009 at 9:49 pm Helen

If it helps in any way, you and the Stargate family have an absolutely massive following in South Africa, and from what I’ve seen of SGU so far it may well be the very best series yet. I for one love that the writers are able to take the realm in a darker direction.

Isn’t it ironic how people whined for the better part of 10 years about SG1 NOT showing Carter and O’Neill involved in any sort of physical intimacy?

Damned if you do, huh
on November 3, 2009 at 9:40 pm Sabine

Hello Joe,

I came across your blog some months ago and have to admit, that I am now about to kind of “abuse” the opportunity to leave a comment. I looked for a way to draw the attention of someone involved in the stargate franchise to a couple of self-made vids, done by a forum member of RDA’s website. As to my knowledge they are not on Youtube or can otherwise be found without knowing the url to the website. There are a lot of videos out there and I have seen quite a lot of those, dealing with SG-1 in one way or the other. Some are “nice” or “well done”, but I did not get really impressed by them. But this member created some vids, that are just so – well, I am actually lacking an appropriate word to describe… It is just a perfect interplay of music, cuts, clip selection that as a result is transporting illusions and feelings to the viewer that I did not find in any other vids I have seen so far. This member is not a friend of mine – we just exachanged some emails and she gave me the link to her vids. So, this is not about doing someone a favour – she does not know about this. But when watching these vids, I got so impressed and immediately thought that it is a shame that none of the people involved in that show will ever see how much their doing has inspired others to become creative themselves – at least not in that almost professional way.

Now, I do have that little problem that I can not provide the link here in public, for I assume that there is a reason that she did not place her vids on youtube – and I also assume that this blog should not be used for placing links anyway. So, if you are interested in watching these vids (there are about 3-4 vids lasting 4-6 minutes, which I consider the best), please let me know, if there is a way to provide this link (or the vids, since she also sent me a download link when I asked) within a less public environment – maybe an email-adress, that is not your private one but you can access anyway. I can only assure that they are really worthwile watching – for I do not get impressed that easily

What makes you think that they really care about existing fans?

They destroyed two perfectly good shows, and brought in a show that’s aimed to get new viewers at the expense of existing viewers. They moved away from the very recipe that made SG-1 and SGA enjoyable (such as humor) and brought in, umm, sex and poor camerawork?

Does that sound like they care about loyalty?

No, this is disappointment at best.
on November 11, 2009 at 3:01 am Lee

Hello Joe,

I’ve followed the show for the better part of 10 years and never gotten involved in website discussions as I know how rude, stubborn and narrow minded people can be.
This morning however I was reading Maureen Ryan’s column from the Chicago Tribune and felt your seemingly well-bashed ears (or eyes) could do with a little soothing.
Frankly, considering SG1 ran for 10 years and Atlantis for 5, I fail to see how anyone(Maureen) can make up their minds regarding a new series by watching just 5 episodes and say you’re “pretty much done giving it a chance”. A new series has to be given a chance to set itself up regarding a long term plot & character relationships. This is not a movie where everything is eaten & digested in 2 hours. I don’t believe over the course of even a single season you can explore those things as well as answer all the ‘questions’ fans might want answered, which would leave nothing to the imagination. As a side effect, lack of rapid development maybe thought of as a slow start for any series.
I think Maureen and perhaps those who are new to the SG universe in general are very much over-analysing sexism and the use of sex and romantic relationships. These in my opinion, from Star Trek to Stargate and Star Wars have never played a large part in a Sci-fi series. Sci-fi fans tend more to enjoy the techno-babble, the ships, the action and the CGI. That is why it is Sci-fi, and not a soap-opera. This is proven given the success of SG1.
I happen to think the first 8 episodes so far have been a great start for SGU. I’m so pleased there wasn’t a big new enemy pointing its weapons array at the Destiny as soon as the crew boarded it. This is pretty much what happened with SG1 and Atlantis when they first started out and I remember being distinctly unimpressed with the Wraith. Humanity afterall cannot trek across the universe and fight everything thats out there.
The thing I do miss however is what Amanda Tapping brought to SG. A woman with a brain bigger than the whole team put together. Rodney was very funny in SGA with his completely over-the-top panicking during tense situations, but Tapping was just better.
Overall, I look forward to the rest of the series and wish Joe and the team every success.

Metlin on Nov 8 2009, at 9.20am.

I agree totally with your comments on how existing fans of SG-1 & SGA have & are being treated. Whilst I think that perhaps SG-1 might have run its course after 10 years I was a big fan of SGA & felt it still had years of potential left in it. Have watched all of the episodes of SGU so far shown here in the UK (must give it a fair chance), & with the exception of 2 episodes, I have found it rather dull & slow moving. Still perhaps things will liven up this week on the jungle planet. Please bring back SGA (re Morena 3 Oct – without Ford – I preferred Lorne) for existing fans. They’d really appreciate it. I know SGA & SGU could co-exist happily together on the networks as did SG-1 & SGA for 5 years. Don’t abandon these fans they’ve been loyal for years.
