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. |

The change that always intrigues me is that Frank Burns character. In the original book and movie [he was played by Robert Duval] Frank is not an idiot. He's a competent surgeon. The reason the others hate him is that when a patient lives it's because Frank is a great doctor, and when a patient dies it's someone else's fault. Trapper punches him after Frank tells an 18 year old corpsman that th...
The book also tells us how Trapper got his nickname. |

I loved the story line about the previous stations in Babylon 5. So interesting like yeah we have this awesome place, but it didn't just happen to spring into existence. It wasn't formed naturally or given by some advanced aliens. We built it ourselves after having a real shit time previously. But we stuck with it and here it is, flaws and all.
I am going to be so honest, there is no way I think Babylon 5 could be remade or added to. It had some bumps in production, but the actors were irreplaceable. I cannot imagine anyone other than Andreas Katsulas as G'kar. There can be no other Ambassador DeLenn except Mira Furlan. It's one of those cases where even the flaws it had were so perfect and so human that altering it would nearly be sacrilege. I hope to any gods that still give a fuck that the corporations forget B5 ever happened so it can rest in peace. Because you know that if they try to do any corporate necromancy on it, it'll be a shambling horror that's nothing like the original. |

I believe they are going for a 'prequel' set in the days between the end of the show and the Serenity movie. More will be revealed
Correct |

In the book and the movie, when Trapper pulls a jar of olives out of his coat. |

It’s ripe for all sorts of ongoing gags: red shirt death toll, or a red shirt that gets horribly maimed but comes back from sick bay every episode South Park style. Plenty of room for plot twists and narrative shifts because neither the MacGuffin nor the true nature of the setting are revealed at the beginning. Open planet-side. The away team beams in and starts taking readings and such. Away 1...
A star trek: away with the charm of early RvB would be wonderful, you are right |

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.
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. |

LOL, brother thinks stargate was real. It's just a sci-fi show.
I mean there was a project Stargate, it just wasn't that |

If we're pitching Trek, can I request something that is still hopeful without being an Earth based branch of the Federation of Planets? I've had enough Starfeet. You see what I did there. No more Trek for the sake of "the brand". Let's see episodic adventures featuring practical effects set on alien planets with situations none of us can relate to. If you wanna shake things up, do it right. |
