This morning, Stargate enthusiasts Rita and Rebekah forwarded me a list of some 30 more fan sites to go with the 40 or so sites you've all been kind enough to send my way. These Stargate fan communities boast a combined membership of just under 4 million. Of course when you account for crossover, attrition, Russian…

February 18, 2018: The Stargate Initiative!
"What do you know, Joe?"fans have started asking, given the timing of my recent blog posts. To be honest, I just know - and can infer - only as much as you. The launch of stargatecommand.co and the production and premiere of Stargate: Origins is, clearly, the first step in the return of an all-new…
February 17, 2018: Stargate possibilities
I know, I know. You're sitting there, re-reading yesterday's blog entry, thinking to yourself: "Surely rebooting the franchise wouldn't be that big a deal. The longtime fans who invested so much in those 17 seasons of television history - the characters, the technology, the worlds created for SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe - would get over it.…
February 16, 2018: Stargate – the next step!
Recently, I've been asked my thoughts on the immediate future of Stargate. Specifically, with the release of the Stargate: Origins web series (you can check it out here at StargateCommand) fans want to know: "Where do we go from here?" Well, to be honest, my opinion hasn't really changed since I wrote this blog entry…
February 15, 2018: Stargate pics and musings!
Alas, those seemingly inaccessible hard drives, once accessible, were a bust. Mostly whale footage and videos of Special Features Producer Ivon Bartok's trip to Dominica. On the bright side, I was reminded that there are a couple of other more promising hard drives in my storage locker. Now it's just a matter of finding them.…

February 13, 2018: Tech Support and Oscar Shorts!
Thanks to everyone who weighed in with tech suggestions on yesterday's connector quandary. I think I've finally got it figured out, thanks to a few helpful text messages from my buddy Ivon: Tomorrow, I will finally uncover the mysteries contained within those ancient hard drives. Will it be an avalanche of awesome behind the…
February 12, 2018: Food for thought and assorted goodies!
Kicking off today's blog entry with a link to a terrific article that appeared on Gateworld.net yesterday: "How would you feel if a theater ushered you out of your seat with 30 minutes of the movie still left? Would you come back?" Syfy Owes Fans A Bigger Commitment "If a serialized show is on the…
February 11, 2018: Stargate Playback, Previs and Animatics!
Well, this is pretty cool! Puddle Jumper diagnostic playback. Atlantis "Rising" opening shot - previs. Taking Flight previs. Antarctic Outpost Reveal - animatic. Heads Up! animatic.
February 10, 2018: The Stargate Concept Art of James Robbins!
So the other day, I came across an old hard drive containing a slew of Stargate-related visuals: concept art, designs, previs. It's actually about 0.5% of the library of BTS pics and vids sitting in my storage unit, much of it somewhat inaccessible due to the fact that the technology is incredibly old and lacking…
February 9, 2018: More Dark Matter swag!
Last year, following news of Dark Matter's cancellation, we thought it would be nice to do something for all the fans that help make DM one of Syfy's most-watched shows! The original plan was to give you all a satisfying ending but, alas, Syfy never bothered getting back to us regarding our humble request for…
February 8, 2017: Melissa O’Neil news and Stargate concept art!
Well, this is nice... Melissa O'Neil to Co-Star in Nathan Fillion's ABC Light Drama Series: The Rookie Congratulations to Melissa! Well, this is cool. I was going through one of my old disk drives and came across a SLEW (note the capitalization) of Stargate concept art by Production Designer James Robbins. Really beautiful stuff.
February 7, 2018: Best Comic Book Covers of the Week!
After watching Logan last night, I'm all about the comics today. Incidentally, I usually hate kids in movies, but this character - like Kick-Ass's Hit-Girl was an exception. A gleefully murderous exception. Anyway, onto my picks... Clue (cover art by Nelson Daniel) Love the fact that the color palette here offers a quick character reference…
