1. Your best idea for a Stargate spin-off series | 03/09/2008 10:21am

What would be your best idea for a Stargate spin-off series? Although I mostly focus on Stargate Atlantis, it includes SG1 as well (Maybe a hybrid series between the two?)

Let me start with...

Repli-Weir
There's a big possibility we won't see what happened with Replicator-Weir since she declined to come back for a few episodes in season 5. It seems she couldn't come to an agreement with the producers about her character development.

So what about a series focusing on her story and her conflicting nature between both replicators and humans? Maybe with a personal quest to build a new race and home with a new breed of replicators, much different from the replicators we already know.

Ok maybe not the best idea but that's where YOU come in with a better idea

This would never happen, but a series with the kids on SG-1. You know, Cassandra and Ryak (s?). Not that there older it could be interesting. Or maybe not a tv show, but a movie. And maybe Daniel's kid, the Hieress (s?). I don't remember what happened to him.

SG-1.2
pretty much a revision of SG-1. I just want an 11th season. (won't happen. but hey, i can dream can't i?)

Cause and Effect
probably a movie, but it airs as the end of all things stargate (don't cry. u know it's gonna happen eventually) It takes place, like 20 or 30 years from now and we get to see the grown children of the original characters. They go on their own missions and the whole movie viewers are trying to guess whose children they are. In the end, all is revealed and the gate is buried or destroyed for some reason which i have yet to come up with. (i told you: end of all things stargate.)

okay, so maybe not 2 of the best ideas ever, but what do u think anyway?

I think that would work really well as a Mini-series but not a long running show. It would be a great to wrap all of that up seeing as Weir probably wont be back for SGA.

That kid idea is cool. I Always liked the whole 'next generation' idea.
You'd have Rya'c as the warrior
Lt Hayley as the brains/fighter (of course, as cpt Hayley, or even Major, depending on when it's set)
Cassandra as..well.. the cute one with weird powers.

Basically you find someone under 20 who impacted the show a little, and see if they fit.

The other year me and another guy were talking about a new series called:

Stargate Alpha (or an actual cool name)

Basically Earth had a full on war with the Ori and lost.
Connection to Atlantis was severed. And Earth was conquered.
The story takes place not long after the Milky Way fell to the power of the Ori. To make things easier the Ori were actually destroyed (all but Adria), but the priors and their warriors were still enough to take the galaxy.

This story revolves around the Alpha site. A small band of humans who happened to survive the main attack and have yet to be found. They do hit and run attacks on the Priors, try to round up free humans and allies, and try desperately to make contact with the only other Taur'i left in the universe: The Atlantis Expedition.
What makes things harder is the Alpha site has some cool tech, and an Asgard Library... what they lack is resources and spare men to actually make anything.
So they'll be pretty much reset to what SG:1 was to begin with.
What adds drama is the fact that these 10-15 people are the only ones left on base. A skeleton crew consisting of one SG team, a few techs, an f-302 pilot (and one or two actual F-302's) and a random civilian. You can add a few new faces a season of freed humans, but that's it. No red-shirt that died every episode. Every time they lose a man it visibly hits them severely.

Another idea was basically all that up there, but set on a ship. For that to work Atlantis would have to be destroyed completely, and it would kill the drama of trying to connect to Atlantis.

And to make things more fun, on Stargate Alpha (Or Beta, so we can have SG:A and SG:B), there is a man, THE man. Dr Daniel Jackson.
Daniel was there trying to figure out some weird ori-prophesy thing when contact to earth was destroyed. After the Man in charge dies somehow people start looking to Daniel to lead (Either the base or the front team it doesn't matter)

That one would actually be really awesome. They could also have that same thing in Pegasus galaxy. Say Michael takes over the galaxy and destroys Atlantis. But while that happens the main team is off world with a Jumper and Lornes team. They establish a base on another planet and have to figure out some way to re-establish contact with Earth, whilst fending off Michael and his Hybrids (or the Wraith, even) and find other humans who will help them, maybe even have the Genii join them as allies realizing that nobody stands a chance in Pegasus, so their best chance for survival is to get to the Milky Way.

For a spinoff series it must be going way back to the start like many thousands of years ago where the Asgard, Nox, Furling, and Ancients all met and forged their alliance. That would easily be the best way to go and maybe a few episodes dedicated to each race.

Overall most stories would be centered around the Ancients and their empire b4 the plague that eventually wiped them out.

Could be good for at least a 20 ep season.

=

The other one - yes I know the replicator thing is overdone, but:

The replicators in that aurora class ship would find that Ancient City-ship in "The Tower" fix it up and then use it as their new base to start their reign of terror. They will then try to assimilate Wraith tech as well, which will cause troubles for Michael and the other Wraith.

{Still working on the details - more will be added soon.}

Haha, some good ideas there. Based on ideas posted above, what about...

Michael's Story
Seeing the quest and adventures from his perspective, turning the good/bad/ugly perspectives around. In beginning we see him as evil but starting to like him more and more, until we cheer him up against thoose pesky humans that altered his life in the first place ;-)

The Furlings
Set several thousands of years ago, we see the Furlings.. who they were, how they met the other races and eventually became the fourth race. I don't know exactly how they looked like, maybe all furry wokkies?

Using clues from the series and comments by other people it's pretty easy to guess the furlings are infact:

Reptilians!

Really. Everyone expects cute little ewok/wookies. I'm seeing cold blood, scaly skin, a desire to eat small bugs

CRAP! lol! I've had the idea for that next gen series for a while and little O'Niell is ALWAYS the team leader, how could I of forgotten him now?

Major Clone O'Niell: Cocky team leader with over 60 years of experience, not bad for someone who's just 20.
Captain Hayley: Can do quantum physics and shoot an enemy combatant in the neck at 300m.
Rya'c: Big and strong. But extremely soft when it comes to his wife and his son.
Cassandra Frasier: Medic. Following in the footsteps of the two major women in her life, her mother and Carter, she Joined the Air Force as a Medic. Don't get her wrong, she may choose to save lives, but she will still end yours if you endanger her team. (Does she still have wacky powers?)

That's your 4 man team, but I would add a 5th. Someone linked to Daniel, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Yeah, Grace Park is on BSG now, but it's on it's last season. I can't really think of anyone other than her.

A 'young SG-1'? Hey I totally like your choices :thumbs up: And also to have Grace Park included is also good. It would be almost as if the Proving Ground cast would get the series of their own that they deserve

I think her powers were only connected to that episode. The powers were killing her, so when they healed Cassie her powers dissapered.

The best part about Stargate:The Next Generation is that we know Cassandra ends up at least involved with the SGC from "1969" so it could happen. I like all the potential team members, especially Clo'neill being that he already knows all about the goings on at SGC and has military experience.

Well so she'll be sort of like the Beckett of that team then [ah I almost forgot her powers were now gone - though maybe a once in a while telekenisis thing won't be too bad - IE: stealing a guard's key to unlock the jail cell or something..]. Plus in "Ripple Effect" Jannet was in one of the alternate dimension SG-1 teams.
