The lack of traffic going to and from work during half term is phenomenal. In conclusion the kids should just walk to school.

THE STARGATE WRITERS' ROOM APPROACHETH!

The Stargate writers’ room kicks off this Monday, January 12th, in Los Angeles. It’s hard to believe that some 15 years since sitting down to break “Gauntlet”, the Stargate: Universe season 2 finale, with series co-creator Brad Wright and my former writing partner Paul Mullie, I will be once again returning to the franchise. This time, it’ll be Stargate veteran Martin Gero at the helm of the new series, presiding over a carefully curated, expertly chosen artisanal selection of scriptwriters who will, over the course of the ensuing months, brainstorm, break stories, pitch ideas, and, of course, eat rotisserie chicken. Just like old times!

I will be zooming in from Toronto for the first four days of the room and then flying into L.A. this Friday. This will give me time to ensure Akemi, Sharky and I are all settled in before catching my Monday morning waymo to my first in-person appearance. While I would have preferred to be there from Day #1, timing wouldn’t allow it. I had the option of flying in early this week but as any veteran of the t.v. show Survivor will tell you, being present early allows you to establish crucial alliances while also making it more difficult for everyone to conspire against you.

The first couple of weeks will be spent discussing the Big Picture. Things like… What shape is the gate? What are our character and story arcs? How does our first season conclude? Who are our villains and what do they want? And do we really want to name a character Fabian?

From there, we move on to breaking the stories, mapping out every beat of every scene of every act (We still doing acts?) of every episode. What’s the first scene that hooks our audience and compels them to keep watching? How does Hortensia react to seeing the stargate for the first time? What kind of planet are we visiting and how does that first contact moment play out? How do our heroes turn the tables on the bad guys? What’s the last scene that surprises our audience and compels them to keep watching?

Back in the old days, it would take us an average of three days to break an episode of Stargate. For the first season of my series Dark Matter (The 2015 ship-based series, not the Apple show that is also a science fiction series with the exact same name…and title font), we averaged a single day per episode. Since Martin was part of that first season writers’ room, I assume he will attempt to beat that record, thus ensuring I will be spending my last month in L.A. visiting the Getty Center and hanging out at the city’s various anime-themed coffee houses.

But between the expressionist portraiture of George W. Bush and the Gum Gum Devil Fruit Mousse Bomb at the One Piece Cafe, there will be outlines and scripts to be rewritten and revised and in many cases, re-revised after which every one of them will be revised once again by Martin Gero because as the series creator and showrunner, that’s what you do. And then sometime in the not too distant (but not too immediate either) future, will come the casting and the location scouts and the VFX discussions and the all-important choosing of the caterer – the innumerable crucial steps in the lead up to that first day of principal photography…wherever, although I’m holding out hope for P7J-989 (Note: I will be regaling my fellow writers with so many classic Stargate deep cuts that I am fully prepared to be sent home well before my scheduled return flight).

Although the secrecy surrounding the new Stargate series has been pretty tight (Internally classified as TS/SI/TK/NOFORN Need-To-Know For-Your-Eyes-Only Above Top Secret Level 10 Clearance), I will try to offer insight into, and keep you updated on, the latest writers’ room happenings. For instance, yesterday I was sent a Stargate Snack and Allergies Form to complete, ostensibly to help plan lunch orders but more likely, I suspect, to weed out breatharians and crudivores. Interesting, no?

Stay tuned for equally enlightening observations in the days and weeks to come!

STARGATE RETURNS!

Yes, it’s true.  14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon.  And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history.  It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past.  And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more.

Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe.  Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.

Martin has been developing this show for a while now.  A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”.  That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series.  Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.

You are all in for a treat.

Eventually.

Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond.  Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.

It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process.  Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!

Get ready.  We’re heading through the gate one more time.

Chevron Eight is locked!
