I'm actually kinda curious what SG-1's production company setup was for moving around the gate to all of British Columbia's quarries and forests.

That title is a little jumbled.

"The only catch is the Stargate in Ashland County doesn't exactly work − like the ones on television." lol - the ones on TV actually work ;)

Being teleported to Ohio is much less exciting than being teleported to Antarctica[1].

For anyone else who was wondering, the author said the project used approximately a dozen (cubic) yards of concrete. Prices seem to be on the order of $150/yd3, so $1800 for just the concrete.

People have the urge to build arts and monuments. See the art pieces people built in Slab City, even in the off the grid, away from society place.

having just one seems like it's not going to help much tbh. he needs a second why to teleport to. also not sure if concrete based gate will work... never tried that.

Does it act like a giant superconductor though?

That naquadah is very heavy.

Stargate. The original movie was cool but I never could get in to the TV show, even during its heyday with Richard Dean Anderson. That said, if they ever did a reboot I'd probably check it out!

Ok, you can’t just build something cool and expect people not to show up.

I've watched seasons 1-5 this year. It's basically my first run through, I'd only watched a couple of random episodes back in the day and not been impressed, so there's no nostalgia at play here.

It absolutely holds up, and does things that seem to be impossible for streaming-era TV shows in terms of building the characters and the universe.

The first season is very obviously done on a shoestring budget, but the production values will start improving after that. I honestly can't imagine what value a reboot would bring.

The first couple of seasons are a little rocky, but once it established its own cast of characters and mythos, it really became something special.

Atlantis was a lot better than SG1 in my opinion (relative to modern attention spans), maybe start there.

I liked SG Universe but it got a bit Home-and-away every now and then which was off-putting. Relationships in a sci-fi? Who cares

the plot arcs don't hold up very well, but I highly recommend watching the monster of the week episodes. some of those one-off episodes, like the black hole episode, expanded my concepts of time and space in ways that I have not experienced while watching other sci fi shows.

The movie didn't age well. The series' will probably hold up forever.

I really wouldn't go for a reboot. SG: Origins was kinda bad even. There's a bunch of lore they could build on top of that people love and new viewers could learn to love. They could find all new cast and everything, like Atlantis was for a while and do cameos.

The issue will likely be that the streaming format does not encourage character building the way it was. They'd likely make a really long movie split into seven parts. Which is not Stargate, with it's weekly monsters, overarching plotlines and occasional gags.

Funny enough, I felt the complete opposite. Loved the shows, especially Atlantis, but found the movie pretty meh.

I didn't start watching until the first couple of seasons were available on ... gasp ... DVD (remember those)?

Got the first season because I was bored. Laid on the couch all weekend watching the entire set of shows. Called in sick on Monday and Tuesday so I could go buy and watch the second season.

I used to own the movie, all ten(?) seasons and the SG-1 movies. I rewatched them a couple of times.

It holds up surprisingly well. I wouldn't argue against a reboot, but I would want to see something different rather than just copying the old shows with a different cast.

I think maybe the last couple of seasons were kind of a bit of stunt casting and while it eventually sort of worked, those were the worst shows since it was just sort of a rehash of the "Well, we pissed off yet another super-alien race by existing so lets kick their asses" idea. New villains, same as the old villain.
