Whoever pitched that "Away Away Away" commercial to @ChoctawCasinos needs to be punched in the face, as does the executive who signed off on it. @RangersSNtv
.@CapitalOne - why did you change my new card from Mastercard to Discover? Now my @chesscom Premium membership is being cancelled because they don't take Discover. I'm losing my account through no fault of my own. I didn't ask for the change 🤬
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!
.@Google You're not fooling anyone. You are purposely out-dating your own Google Home Minis. Tasks that have been working for YEARS suddenly don't work anymore. The worst is group casting music constantly cuts in and out. Forcing upgrades is why I left the Apple ecosystem.
.@ProtonPrivacy I just now heard about y'all caving to gov requests to block those journalists. This is antithetical to everything you claim to stand for. Tell me why I should trust you.
@lyft Your driver didn't end the ride when dropping me off last night and now I'm being charged for an extra 50 miles that I didn't ride. I can't find how to contact you in the app.
Things that make your heart happy:
Bobby Rhine’s son Jake scored the game winner tonight in the Texas 5A Region 2 Final to send Highland Park to the state semifinals vs Saginaw this weekend ❤️
.@SenTedCruz 2016: You supported Trump after he insulted your wife. You lost all respect from your wife. 2024: You endorsed convicted Felon Trump. He tanked the economy. 2026: Political bloodbath. GOP lose half of their seats to Democrats. You're coward and deserve it.
Shame on you
@Lowes
for bowing to Trump and scaling back DEI. Between appliances, cabinets, tiles, fencing, power tools, and a crap ton of building material, I've probably spent $40,000 at Lowe's over the last 8 years. I choose to support those who support me. Bye.
