Robert C. Cooper, executive producer of SCI FI Channel's Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he's developing a third series with the working title Stargate Universe, but remained mum on details. (The project has not yet been picked up by any network, including SCI FI Channel.)
"It's being developed," Cooper said in an interview on the Vancouver, Canada, set of the two series. "Not a lot to say at the moment, other than it's ... not the characters from SG-1 or Atlantis. It's a completely third entity. The third series is born of the mythology that's been established."
SG-1 will draw to a close after 10 seasons with the episode titled "Unending," airing June 22. Atlantis is currently finishing up its third season and will return with a fourth season later this year.
Cooper added that the proposed third series will take place in the present day. "One thing that we think contributes to the success of [all of] the series and the concept behind the series is that it takes place in the here and now. ... It's about us and our age of people dealing with fantastic things, like Stargates and wormholes and aliens. And then there's an identifiable quality to the people in the show. It's not like an antiseptic version of humanity sometime 500 years in the future. [SG-1's] Jack O'Neill [Richard Dean Anderson] was a guy who everybody could relate to, and his reactions to the more fantastic elements of the series were the reactions the average Joe on the street might have."
SG-1 and Atlantis executive producer Paul Mullie added: "It's all top secret."
Either that, added fellow executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, or "it just hasn't been written yet. I'm not sure which."
Where do you come up with all these cool animated .gifs?
Very nice. I’d heard rumors about this, but nothing concrete. Sci-Fi won’t pick it up. They’re trying to kill off any high-priced, high-quality programing they’ve got. It has something to do with the parent company sending all its money to the tanking NBC news stations.
That probaly explain everything from canceling SG1 to show Wrestling on SciFi.. I thought that the NBC owning SciFi would be good... Boy was I wrong..
Not too bad without the makeup and wig, huh?
THOR: Hello. I am Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet.http://media.dave.tv/sites/stargatesg1/screenplays/s06e17.PDF
HAMMOND: Thank you for coming, Thor.
THOR (O/S): It is my pleasure, General Hammond.
THOR (CONT’D): The Asgard are in your debt.
ENGLISH AMBASSADOR: Your debt?
THOR: SG-1, under the command of General Hammond, has saved my people and yours, on many occasions.
THOR (CONT’D O/S): We are not only allies against the Goa'uld...
THOR (CONT’D): we are true friends.
SENATOR KINSEY: Commander Thor, my name is--
THOR: Senator Kinsey. O'Neill suggested I send you to a distant planet for your actions here, but I am reasonably certain his statement was in jest.
SENATOR KINSEY: I'm sure it was, Commander.
THOR (O/S): Supreme Commander. It is the opinion of the Asgard high council...that Stargate Command should be left in the very capable hands of General Hammond and his team...and while our continued friendship with Earth is not contingent on that...it is preferred.
However,Hermiod has a an acerbic wit to him.
I LOVE Thor!
The Asgard clone themselves. You have some steaming hot shots of a petri dish in a lab? ;)
That will never happen in reality, but I've seen a number of Stargate/BSG crossover fan fiction stories.
WARNING: The fan fiction you read may be as good or better than the stories made by the original creators of the series. However, it may also be written by a person who has no concept of plot, dialog, punctuation, or grammar. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Oh come on...HE DOES NOT!!!

“GIVE THOR HIS OWN SHOW!!!”
I don’t want to post spoilers, but Unending is going to break your heart.
Oh, and they don’t finish off the Ori yet, that happens in the directed to DVD/TV movie coming later.
Yeah, did the Ori get to the Nox homeworld? If so, did the Nox get wiped out or what? Then there was that race from the episode 2010 that wiped out the G’ould, did the Ori get them? I kept hoping they would run into a lone Tolan survivor so they could rub thier failure in their swarmy faces.
and
The second was the single best scene in all of SG1.
Goauld are more like Soviets: nasty, but a bit more rational enemy, an enemy one can (perversely) deal with.
Brilliant. I always liked MacGyver!
