@McDonalds This is why people are not eating there anymore. Sweden's McDonald's is like another world it's so much better. Kind of feels like a big #McFuckYou courtesy of @McDonalds. We want God McD's back not the #McSlop you've been giving us lately.

[Salty Anon @SaltoholicsAnon]

Hey @McDonalds why do McDonald's in other countries get a better menu than Americans? Canada still has chicken selects. The UK is getting menu items like pepper garlic mcnuggets. Not to mention the quality of the food has gone massively downhill while prices keep going up.

They aired the reruns on Fox, the ads made me think the whoosh sucked them into the gate. Watched it and found out it was a death sentence lol. Bought the movie at Suncoast and started watching the series from the beginning, just in time to catch up before Atlantis premiered.

What was the single moment that made you realise Stargate was something special - not just another sci-fi show? #SaveStargate

In 2007, I co-created the free Alteran Stargate Network in Second Life. A fully functional replica that followed as much of the canon functionality as possible within the limitations of the platform.

While I am no longer involved with its operation, the network is still running to this day with nearly 500 stargates active across the grid.

If only Amazon cared as much as the countless fans wanting to #SaveStargate

[Salty Anon @SaltoholicsAnon]

I’ve seen this guy in so much Canadian sci-fi. I trust him.

@Collider The priorities are to waste money and to ruin franchises, see Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power. They will bring someone else in to make a mediocre show before they do the right thing and #SaveStargate

@venturepictures @AmazonMGMStudio It would make you money if you made blu ray releases and merch as well.

[Venture Pictures @venturepictures]

Stargate means a lot to a lot of people. @AmazonMGMStudio I really do call on you to actually communicate with the fans on this one.

This isn’t a small franchise. In its 350 hours of television that accrued millions of fans worldwide. They deserve a little bit more respect than a PR drop in a Variety article.

We and many others want @martingero Stargate and vision. We wanted the team that comes with that elite baller knowledge.

@BaronDestructo and Co have been incredible bastions in community along with @dial_the_gate and @GateWorld

You had these guys on a video dropped on your channel with the promise of a show.

What went wrong? Reinstating the Gate will happen. How and what it looks like? That’s down to you the IP holder after all.

But without the fans and without clear communication on what’s transpired it’s a tough ask to get us to be excited again. Maybe you don’t care. Who knows.

All I know is you had ungodly good faith from some the most critical people online. Not just fans.

Come on @PrimeVideo and @JeffBezos reinstate the gate. Make this happen.

One last time. #SaveStargate #Stargate

The only way I was buying GTA VI on a console was buying a physical copy that includes a disc. Thank you for saving me the $100 @RockstarGames @PlayStation @XBOX. I'm not buying a digital copy that can be taken away at any moment if I drop the wrong gamer word in chat.

[Salty Anon @SaltoholicsAnon]

I feel vindicated not purchasing a PS5

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Possibly. But truly marvelous if they end up being wrong.

Hammond of Texas is missed #SaveStargate

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Remembering Don S. Davis - Hammond of Texas

My earliest memory of Don S. Davis is of a charming, bigger-than-life individual who greeted me with a hardy handshake and a boisterous “Hellooo, Jooooe! Welcome to Stargate!” on one of my very first days on set. This was back in season four, sometime between our second script (Window of Opportunity) and our third (Point of No Return). In those early years, Paul and I spent most of our days in our respective offices, writing, spinning or, in one inspired afternoon, creating the lyrics to the Stargate SG-1 theme. We were busy and, most important of all, we wanted to look busy. The last thing we needed was to be seen hanging around set, gawking at the actors when there were scripts to be written, brilliant ideas to be spun. But several weeks in, it became apparent to me that sitting alone in my office (or, occasionally, Paul’s office for a little variety) would inevitably drive me nuts – and the loss of my sanity would no doubt be reflected in the quality of my work. So I decided to start taking little walks. Pitch document or outline in hand, I would pace – up and down the corridors, in and around the building, and through the empty sets.

Except for one afternoon when I inadvertently strolled onto an active set where they were setting up for the next shot. Realizing my error, I immediately turned on my heels, prepared to march right back out when Brad Wright spotted me and called me over. “Joe,”he said, “I’d like you to meet Don Davis. Don, Joe is one of our new writers.” Don, who’d been standing by, waiting for that next shot, threw me his trademark ear to ear grin, gave me a firm handshake and bellowed “Hellooo, Jooooe! Welcome to Stargate!”

“Hellooo, Jooooe!” It was a greeting I’d come to associate with the man, a good-natured, self-deprecating southern gent who always had a story to tell but, more than anything, always wanted to hear how YOU were doing. “Hellooo, Jooooe! How’s that script coming along?”. “Hellooo Jooooe! How was lunch?” “Hellooo, Jooooe! How was your weekend?” Meeting actors for the first time can be a little daunting, especially for a newbie writer on his first big show, but Don’s down-home warmth and cordiality put me instantly at ease. And it was no different when he met the fans. I’ve seen convention-goers approach him with trepidation, perhaps fearful of overstepping their bounds and imposing upon him. But Don was never the type to be stand-offish or put himself on display. When you met Don, you weren’t meeting a t.v. star – you were meeting a regular guy. A regular, modest, kind-hearted guy who genuinely cared for his fans and the people he worked with. And, inevitably, those convention-goers who had, moments before, cautiously approached the man they knew as General Hammond would, moments later, be sitting, chatting and laughing, in conversation with good old Don.

If there’s one thing I��ll always remember about the man, it was his willingness to put others before him. Back when Rick was reducing his workload to spend more time with his young daughter, and the writing department was scrambling to come up with in-story reasons for O’Neill’s off-world absences, Don came up to the offices and offered a solution. “Have Hammond step aside and let O’Neill be General,”he suggested. I was floored. Here was a guy, perfectly willing to walk away from a plum role as a regular on a hit series, just to (in his mind) make it easier on everyone else. Of course we thanked him for his kind offer, but we weren’t willing to let George Hammond go just yet.

Ultimately, the decision was made for us when health issues curtailed Don’s involvement in the show. But even so, he continued to maintain a presence in the Stargate universe, popping up in occasional episodes and then in his final appearance in Stargate: Continuum. And every time he was on set, he would always make it a point to drop by the office to say hello.

As the years wore on, I saw less and less of Don. Still, I’d run into him now and then and whenever I’d inquire about him, he was always upbeat. There was never a trace of bitterness or remorse that he was no longer a regular presence on the show. “I have no regrets,”he’d told me on more than one occasion. And, always: “I’m the luckiest man in the world.” It was a wild, fun-filled ride and, finally, it was time for the southern gent to settle back and enjoy his retirement.

The last time I spoke to Don was when he called me up out of the blue after being tipped off that I’d mentioned him in a blog entry. In answering a fan who wanted to know why I didn’t keep in touch with Richard Dean Anderson, I responded: “We don’t talk a lot for the simple reason that he no longer works on the show. I don’t really talk to Don Davis that much and I love the guy. It’s nothing personal.” Less than twenty-four hours later, I got the call. “Ah luuv yoou tooo,“came that familiar low, Southern drawl. He‘d been tipped off to what I’d written and wanted to touch base. “It’s always great hearing from my fellow gourmand,”I’d written. “Apparently, 2007 was a busy year for him (which is great to hear), and he’s now enjoying some much-needed downtime." I'd expressed the hope that we would soon be able to get together for another culinary excursion. Sadly, that day would never come.

In my many years at Stargate, I’ve worked with actors whose company I have greatly enjoyed, but only a few would I actually be bold enough to call my friends. And among those few was the magnanimous southern gent who used to greet me with that familiar “Hellooo, Joooe!”, the always affable Don S. Davis.

He is truly missed.

(One of my favorite pictures of Don I snapped of him, happily eating chocolate in my office.)
