Who cancels a series based on one of the most successful franchises in entertainment history with well over 350 episodes across 18 seasons that, even after 15 years of no new episodes, still commands an international fanbase of millions? Apparently #AmazonMGM #SaveStargate

We had established a stable wormhole with #AmazonMGM through their resumption of the #Stargate program, then they nuked it mid-transit. #SaveStargate exists to reestablish communication with the enemy, er, the studio. Call us, guys. The iris is open.

I love Chinese food. I probably love inauthentic as much as I do authentic. Today is definitely a non-authentic Chinese dish - Orange Chicken, as invented by a @PandaExpress executive chef. I made a ton of sauce to divide and freeze.

Join us live tomorrow when I drop in on David and Dial the Gate. Let's talk Stargate, Dark Matter and, of course, #Amalgaverse!
It's been a year since our last interview, long before the series announcement. Join Joseph Mallozzi LIVE for what will certainly be an interesting discussion, and come prepared with a question to ask for free. Saturday, 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. piped.video/live/g0qwYETCpEw #SaveStargate

I really love supporting local businesses, but when I see one using a shitty, lookalike AI flyer I wonder why they couldn't also support a local artist? It wouldn't break their bank, someone earns a living, and your customers respect you.

"It's all fun and games until someone breaks a promise ... I mean nail." #AmazonMGM broke their promise, well after work started. Keeping a promise is easy, you just do what you said you'd do - Silly things like #SaveStargate, listen to customers, tell the truth. #easy

We #Stargate fans are not Rodney McKay, we get hurt when shot. #AmazonMGM's decision to drop Martin Gero's in-canon revival was a bullet to the heart. But just like scifi characters, we're hard to kill & come back to life when the need to #SaveStargate arises!

First Mission: The Ghost Ship (Part 1) #Amalgaverse Captain’s Log, supplemental. We've answered a distress call at the coordinates flagged by our long-range sensors, and found a ship gone silent. Automated beacon still cycling, running lights dark, and no one responding to our hails. A freighter drifts before you, drive cold, cycling a fragmented distress call on a loop. The ship sits at the heart of a spatial anomaly venting irregular pulses of raw energy. You’re going aboard. The only question is how. Scotty offers to beam the away team aboard in a lull between the anomaly’s pulses. It’s the quickest way in and puts everyone directly on the freighter’s bridge. But the pulses are intermittent, and he warns: “If ye have to leave in a hurry, I’ll move heaven and earth to pull ye back, but I canna swear it’ll be the very second ye shout for it.” Sheppard pitches flying the puddle jumper straight into the freighter’s hangar bay, where they can park it for a clean getaway. The bay is open to space and it’s also a ways from the bridge, but John will take that trade: “Sure, it’s a bit of a hike, but I’d still sooner have the jumper at my back if things go sideways.” Garak favors accessing the ship through a hull breach that sits at the midpoint between the bridge and the hangar. Take the jumper, then enter through the rupture by EVA. Garak nevertheless admits: “It’s slow going, leaves you terribly exposed, and yes, it could get everyone killed. Which is why it’s the one approach someone who may be on board would least expect. And in my experience, the only arrival worth arranging is the one no one thought to prepare for.” McKay isn’t a fan of any of these options. He points out: “Two involve open vacuum and the third requires us to be reduced to a data stream in the immediate vicinity of an unquantified spatial anomaly. These are the three worst ideas since the Matrix sequels!” He suggests skipping this one. Whose advice do you follow? Choose!

Choose your first #Amalgaverse mission! Captain's Log - Stargate Unknown: I have commanded starships through Klingon ambushes, Romulan incursions across the Neutral Zone, and temporal anomalies that would unsettle lesser officers, but none of it prepared me for this. The Enterprise-D has been refitted, re-crewed with the finest officers from across multiple realities, and given a new mission: explore this strange new universe, and find a way to get everyone home. The hum of the warp core fades as the Enterprise-D drops out of warp, and the star field ahead resolves from streaking lights into cold, fixed points. Ops reports four near-simultaneous contacts within the first ninety seconds of arrival. CONTACT ONE - A subspace signal, heavily degraded, cycling on the Federation emergency frequency but fragmented beyond standard universal translation resolution. It's coming from bearing 227 mark 14, approximately 350,000 kilometers off the port bow. Long-range sensors confirm vessel drifting cold - no running lights, no drive signature, no signs of life. (The Ghost Ship) CONTACT TWO - A scrambled tight-beam transmission interception by the communications array, passing through this sector on an encrypted Ferengi commercial channel. Ops has partially decoded the manifest: a shadow auction for Artifact Omicron-8, provenance heavily redacted. Its appended energy signature matches no commercial technology on record. It reads, partially and imperfectly, like an illicit subspace weapon outlawed under the Khitomer Accords. (The Heist) CONTACT THREE - Starfleet priority channel, addressed directly to Captain Kirk. Locate and extract Harven Zax, a dangerous intelligence broker, currently aboard a disabled Vespian cruiser at coordinates 188 mark 44, and deliver him to a rendezvous point at the edge of the Expanse within seventy-two hours. He is wanted, arguably, dead or alive, by three different groups: the Romulans, the Orion Syndicate, and a Klingon Great House. (The Delivery)   CONTACT FOUR - A lateral sensor sweep reports a complete absence of subspace comm traffic from Kirin Station Outpost Gamma-3, a Federation research installation on the Expanse's rim. Gamma-3 has a crew of twenty-three and files automated status reports every four hours. The last confirmed report is sixty-three hours old. The station's emergency beacon is not active. There is no debris field. Simply... silence. (The Fracture) The bridge is dead quiet. Four crises. One ship. No back-up. You must decide where we set course first. What say you? Choose! And cue our Opening Theme...

You never forget your first Death Glider just like you never forget the time @AmazonMGMStudio killed the written in-canon #Stargate revival by Martin Gero. Let's make sure they never forget by never shutting up about it! #SaveStargate

The vote for our first #Amalgaverse mission is surprisingly close. But I am prepared for any and all eventualities. The Ghost Ship The Heist The Delivery The Fracture Choose!

It occurs to me that on this, the afternoon of the 22nd, I had completely forgotten the 21st night of September.

Previously On...#Amalgaverse You and 19 others have been stranded in an amalgam universe of myriad SF realities. All 19 are sci-fi's Best of the Best. And then there's you, uniquely qualified given your encyclopedic knowledge garnered from your world where these characters, their technologies, and their stories are fiction, beloved t.v. shows you have watched time and again. Together, all 20 of you have set off on the Enterprise-D, tasked with finding a way home.

I had some really old, dry sourdough in the fridge that begged to be made into French toast. I like to pour the extra egg over them while they cook. It's pretty cool what 2 slices of bread, 2 eggs, a little milk, & a dash of vanilla can accomplish under the right conditions.
