On the subject of Stargate; a new series is being made. I'm jaded as fuck considering that every attempt at reviving classic sci-fi and fantasy has been done by those least qualified.

But when it does come, I really hope Stargate embraces an alternate history approach, because if it turns out the whole Stargate program is somehow still a secret, then it'll be unbelievable to the point of absurdity.

    They’ve been trying to make a new Stargate series for years. Pretty much since Universe bombed, but especially since Amazon bought MGM. Last I heard they had recruited Joseph Mallozzi to run the new show. He has been with Stargate since season 4 of SG-1 and supposedly was heavily involved with Atlantis but not as involved with Universe, so we shall see but I’m not going to hold my breath for a good show.

    I mean, I didn't catch the last one but I actually liked universe. One, I liked that they tried something different. Two I liked all the non-cw-teen-romance stuff. That teen drama, I think I was not the target audience. I am not sure the target audience exists but I will allow that someone could have liked it, the actors weren't bad per se. Also doctor whatshisface was good. The, uh, he looks kind of weasely in character? I like that actor. Bob Bobberson. I should recordar this. I should read the follow up comics.

    If you think the general public would come behind what wormhole X-treme is concealing, you'd have to believe in stargate being real irl as well. Something like that.

    It's a matter of scale.

    For a conspiracy to be realistic, to even function at all, the smallest possible amount of people would have to be involved in maintaining it.

    Even before the end SG1, the Stargate Program involved thousands of individuals across multiple countries, and multiple departments, including civilian. That's just counting the ones that are supposed to be involved with the Stargate Program.

    Beyond a certain scale no amount of plausible deniability will be enough to keep something secret. And that needs to be respected in story telling in order to suspend disbelief.
