We want to introduce our new friends who have started a new project The Companion, a sci-fi focussed journalism and content website. Most relevant to Stargate fans, SG-1, Atlantis and Universe Co-Creator Brad Wright has joined The Companion team where he’s writing regularly on Stargate and his favourite genre - Sci-Fi.
For those of you who missed The Companion’s exclusive AMA livestream with Brad, our favourite writer dropped his biggest update on the progress of a fourth Stargate series so far.
During the 90-minute conversation he offered a few hints about what might be in store for the franchise should MGM give it the go-ahead, revealed which storyline he wasn’t quite done with, and took questions from fans on everything from alien biology to the names of his cats. He was also surprised by a special guest question from Stargate Executive Producer and Dark Matter showrunner Joe Mallozzi who popped in live to pay tribute to the man he called his mentor.
This world-first video conversation with the genius showrunner is available exclusively to members of The Companion, but friends of Gatecon, here are two excerpts:
