    That's ok. While the show wasn't the best, it had some interesting concepts.
    Also... I borrowed the Tlak'khan for a fanfiction crossover, and tried to integrate them into the SG-1 universe. I'm almost finished with the writing after stalling out for a while. Combination of Writer's Block and Real Life.

    FIRST LOOK - TEASER | STARGATE: Origins

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLctS-RWNuY

    Looks like something that could go on for a bit for a series, everyone seems quite happy behind the camera with the production crew and the actors. Now it needs to be a hit without demolishing what little canon there is on the events in 1945 or invalidating the values and attire for the period from American history primarily and 1928 Egypt including the styles of what was traditional and any hold overs from the Ottomans from nearby countries and British influences.

    Be interesting to find out what the storylines will be like and wonder if there was an alien invasion years earlier? Perhaps all this Area 51 stuff ties into those myths around the Roswell incident?

    Anything more than hype so far, like a release date for the first episode?

    According to this old article, it will be a digital only format, have 10 episodes for the first season, and each episode is 10 minutes long. So 100 minutes in total or less if the 10 minutes per episode include opening and ending credits. If it is only 100 minutes or less for the first season, then my concern of Stargate exploration is removed to make the show more exciting. The most we should get with Stargate exploration is one or two trips through the Stargate at the most instead of a new world each episode.

    The thing about it though is that this is Pre-movie, back when they were still actively studying it if I remember correctly. It wasn't until SG-1 that we learned that the stargate was opened at least once before that first mission to Abydos. But back then they still didn't know how the gate really worked so... anyone sent through would never return. Like Ernest Littlefield before he was found by SG-1 decades later. And we know for a fact that Cathrine Langford was around in not only the movie, but in SG-1 as well. And if this web series has her as a main character, I don't see her going through the gate.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the entire story was about them simply securing the gate from Egypt with some of the post-war drama that followed the end of WWII and the birth of the Cold War. I'm honestly skeptical that they would do any off world adventuring or spend much time with nerdy gate analysis stuff.

    First season will likely deal with securing the gate. If there are future seasons, then it will likely deal with setting up the Stargate for the first failed trip involving Catherine Langford's fiance.

    If it wasn't a reboot that would but into B'aal trying to steal the gate from the ship carrying it to America (Stargate Continuum).
    Or maybe explain how it got on the ship? :p

    The gate was dug up in 1928 and this series is based on events 10 years later, so it is during ww2. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a German theme episode with those gray uniforms, ss logos and swastika emblem armbands once again as they attempt to gain control of the Stargate.

    Funny enough, yesterday I've read a report on a new sci-fi movie Annihilation, and the first thing it mentioned is you recognise it's sci-fi by it following a biologist with a gun. So it immediatly lead me to thinking how absurd the idea of an archaeologist with a gun is...

    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    All depends on where the scientist is doing their research. Scientists can't always rely on bodyguards to protect them from dangerous situations like the local wildlife or natives enraged by an outsider violating their religious or historical monument.

    "Daniel Jackson" is very much unlikely to violate native religious traditions. And if so, is quite likely to talk his way out of it (unless someone else swings their weapons in the meantime...).

    @azrael605 Shanks was in Smallville? Oh my, that Vancouver filming scene is really so small.

    Well, Smallville never was my cup of tea, not into all that superhero and comic book stuff (even less if it's basicaly just following pretty young people).
    But Andromeda is still on my list to see (not because of Dr. Caroline Lam/Lexa Doig/Andromeda herself, but rather Hercules himself/Kevin Sorbo).

    huh, what do you know! An earlier prediction about the Germans panned out according to the trailer anyway. We will see if that trailer isn't misleading when it launches.
