It’s that time of year again folks, time to reach into your wallet and bid on a cool scifi collectible in the name of charity.

Anyone familiar with the Stargate franchise knows that its an “all in the family” kind of production company. It’s very common to see, not only actors, but characters repeated across the various incarnations and it’s about to happen again.

Maybe you’ve been to some of the same conventions, bid on the same eBay items or gotten to meet some of the same actors. You’ve each got movies you …read more

  After ten seasons on the small screen, the SG-1 crew have made the leap to. . . well. . the small screen, but in a very big way.  “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” is the first in a series of straight-to-DVD movies and it hits store shelves this Tuesday.
With a bigger budget behind them (rumored to be around 7 million) and more time to dedicate to one storyline, the Stargate movies are poised to be grander than ever.  But turning any TV series into a film comes with one inherent problem — how do you keep fans engaged …read more
