WHAT WILL THE SPIN-OFF BE ABOUT?
What will the Stargate SG-1 movie and spin-off series be about? Here's my working theory, with the information we have on the story so far.
Brad Wright first revealed that a spin-off series is in the works in an interview with Cinescape magazine, where he said, "What I'm planning is for Season Six to build towards a climax that actually is a Stargate SG-1 feature film. And that feature film will create the milieu and the necessary elements for a spin-off series."
"The idea for it is very cool and I've been setting it up since Season One, when I planted a seed to give us a direction in which we could go. We've been slowing building up the possibilities [from there]."
Fans have been left scouring every episode, every scene, every line of dialogue in the show's first year for clues about the future of the Stargate story. Could it be about the four great races (the Asgard, the Nox, the Furlings and the Ancients), whose alliance was first mentioned in "The Torment of Tantalus?" Could it have something to do with Nem and Omaroca, two aliens who were on Earth millenia ago ("Fire and Water")? Or a show devoted to the robot version of SG-1 created in "Tin Man?"
Hammond: "Teal'c, would the Goa'uld have put more than one Stargate on a planet?"
Teal'c: "If the first became lost to them, it is possible."
Jackson: "But remember, the one that Ra put here might not have been the first. The Goa'uld didn't build the Stargate system."
"What we don't want it to be is SG-2," executive producer Robert C. Cooper told DreamWatch magazine. "We would want the series to be very different from this one. After six seasons of SG-1, fans would expect something fresh and new. And that's what we have in mind ..."
Whatever it is, "the movie idea we have will change the Stargate universe considerably," according to Cooper -- "open it up and create the potential for a whole new series. ... [The spin-off series] evolves the Stargate."
