I don’t think this is a one day thing.
Seeing all of your photos, stories, memories and messages today has reminded me just how special this community is. Years later and the love for Stargate is still going strong.
Thank you for showing up and making your voices heard. It has been such a joy to celebrate with all of you and I have a feeling we’re just getting started. 💙

California Democrats just passed all these brand new taxes last night AT MIDNIGHT so no one would notice
California families can expect about a $400 increase on taxes with their health insurance and higher payroll taxes
This is what happens when you can’t vote people out because they rig the elections with mail in ballots. They just keep stealing more and more money from you and there’s nothing you can do about it
Hello Stargate universe!
I truly enjoyed my time as part of the Stargate Atlantis family. “ Colonel Marshall Sumner”. Many of the cast are still in my life to this day. That’s rare. This community is rare. #SaveStargate
LFG!!!!!
@Tesla Tried FSD parallel parking once and it clipped a curb the front cameras missed (need lower forward parking cameras). Noticeable scratch on underside of bumper. I see the potential, but not on hardware 3.
USA. I went to a Texas BBQ restaurant.
The man at the counter asked: brisket or ribs?
I stood very still.
In my country, this question has another name.
It is called choosing a clan.
Brisket: slow. Patient. It has waited 14 hours for this moment.
Fourteen hours of smoke and silence.
This is the way of discipline. This is the way of my teachers.
Ribs: bold. Immediate. They arrive already holding their weapon.
They do not wait. They do not explain themselves.
This is the way of instinct. This is the way of warriors who do not return.
I asked the man which was better.
He said: "Depends on the person."
I stared at him for a long time.
This was not an answer.
This was a test.
Perhaps the most important test of my life.
I chose brisket. I sat down. I prepared myself.
The ribs arrived at the next table.
They smelled of smoke and oak and something I cannot name in any language.
The man eating them did not look at his food.
He looked at nothing.
He had already transcended.
I went back to the counter.
"I made an error," I said. "Ribs."
I sat down again.
The brisket at the next table glistened quietly.
Fourteen hours of patience. Fourteen hours of waiting.
Looking at me.
Not with anger. With something worse.
With understanding.
I went back.
"Brisket," I said. "I have returned."
The man at the counter said nothing.
He had seen this before.
Brisket. Ribs. Brisket. Ribs.
On my fourth approach, he placed both on the counter without speaking.
I understood then: there is no choosing.
There is only the truth of what you already are.
And what I am, apparently, is someone who cannot leave a BBQ restaurant.
I ate. I could not finish.
I sat with the remains for a very long time.
The other customers left. New customers arrived. I was still there.
The man came to my table at closing time.
"You doing okay?"
I told him I was conducting a funeral.
He nodded like this was a reasonable thing to say.
A ninja does not choose between brisket and ribs.
A ninja orders both and sits with the consequences until the restaurant closes.
Is this normal in Texas?
And which one was right?
I need to know. I am going back tomorrow.
Amazon's reported reason for canceling a Stargate project felt like an insult to the fans who kept the franchise alive. Telling the existing fanbase they are the problem, rather than the solution, lands as contempt, not business logic. #Stargate#FanCommunity#Media
Dear @AmazonMGMStudio & @PrimeVideo
Understand this clearly:
The Stargate audience does not want a reboot. We do not want a reimagining. We do not want a franchise “evolution.” We do not want a product engineered for focus groups and marketed as being for “modern audiences.”
We want Martin Gero’s Stargate. Nothing more. Nothing less.
For decades, fans kept this franchise alive while studios ignored it. We bought the DVDs. We watched the reruns. We kept the conversations going long after the gates went silent.
Now you stand at a crossroads.
One path leads back to the Stargate people actually love, the world built by the creators who made it matter in the first place.
The other leads to another hollow corporate imitation wearing a familiar name like a stolen uniform.
Choose the second path, and do not expect our support.
We will not celebrate it. We will not promote it. We will not reward it for borrowing a title it did not earn.
The audience you are chasing does not belong to you. The audience you already have does.
Ignore us, and you may discover too late that the people who carried Stargate for twenty years were the only people still willing to carry it at all.
The answer is already sitting in front of you.
The creators are there.
The fanbase is there.
The demand is there.
The blueprint exists.
The groundwork is finished.
The money has already been spent.
The choice is yours.
But so is the outcome.
