Good morning, Gaters!

Have you bullied @AmazonMGMStudio today yet to #SaveStargate? I'm looking forward to the day we can change the hashtag to #WeSavedStargate. But until that day, we will do what must be done.

This is a Stargate X account first and foremost until then!

All we want is what @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo had already green-lit: a new Stargate series from the original creative team, including @martingero @BaronDestructo @bradtravelers etc. Give the fans what they want! #SaveStargate

[Mikeware @MikewareXGR]

@AmazonMGMStudio It's like we're stuck in a loop, and it's your fault we have to #SaveStargate. It's not too late, you can fix this, you know what to do. We'll understand, you made a mistake, it's ok to admit that. We can forgive you if you do the right thing...

[Mikeware @MikewareXGR]

@AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo the time is now to #SaveStargate. We need to bring back the energy the show has to bring people together, as you're seeing now. @JeffBezos get on the phone, make it happen, bring Gero back, and make it right. You had kicked things off right last fall.

Stargate Trivia: Window of Opportunity

We had no idea this episode would become so beloved by fandom and yet, looking back, it’s easy to see why it has. It’s one of those "fun" episodes with a fairly straightforward premise that allows our characters to shine in ways unexpected. Specifically, Jack and Teal’c who, in the past, have relied on Carter and Daniel to handle the science and Ancient translations, and suddenly find themselves having to step into their team members’ shoes.

Yes, it’s our version of Groundhog Day. And yet, in its earliest form, the pitch for this story was very different, much darker in tone. Originally titled Ad Infinitum, it involved the team gating to a planet and becoming trapped in a seemingly endless time loop orchestrated by a dying race seeking to buy more time to come up with a solution to an impending armageddon (which became the backstory of the device’s genesis mentioned in the episode by Malakai). Exec Producer Robert Cooper suggested another spin on the time loop angle and, while I was dubious at first (“Isn’t this Groundhog Day?”I remember asking. “Yeah,”was Rob’s counter.), I was proven wrong. Now, the “Groundhog Day” episode has become a staple of most every genre show.

While there’s a lot to like about this episode, it was the “time off” montage that stands out. And it almost didn’t happen. The episode was timing short, it was clear we would need to come up with some extra scenes, and that gave Exec Producer Brad Wright (@bradtravelers) the opportunity to do something he had always wanted to do: see our characters golfing through the stargate. And so, several scenes were added (they were all scripted, not improvised as some fans assumed): the juggling, Teal’c’s repeated door run-in, Jack riding his bike through the corridors of the SGC, Jack trying his hand at pottery, the golfing through the gate and, oh yes, THE KISS. The latter was my former writing partner Paul Mullie's idea - in his pitch, an opportunity we could not pass up. Note: We made sure to have Jack tender his official resignation before dipping Carter and planting one on her, just to make sure we didn’t catch any flak from our Air Force tech advisors.

One of the first pieces of Stargate-related artwork I put up on my office wall was some concept art from this episode - the stargate itself. As the seasons wore on, so did that original sketch, gradually fading away. My then writing partner mused that once the sketch vanished, it would signal the show's end. It took well over six years but , in the end, he was right.

@AmazonMGMStudio You mean to #SaveStargate?

[Stargate Offworld @SGOffworld]

Martin Gero's project existed. Written, planned, ready. Amazon buried it. We want to dig it back up. @AmazonMgmStudio @Primevideo #SaveStargate
