Babylon 5 Alliance

@Garebear__11 Some people are now reporting that they've gotten their coupons/promo codes over the last two days. Looks like tomorrow might be the day after all.

Heads up, Criterion flash sale might be the 31st and not the 24th like most people originally expected because Channel subscribers didn't get their additional promo code like they usually do the Friday before a sale.

Such great news. #Stargate

@x_gropo @BaronDestructo It won't. Martin Gero is great. Brad Wright is great. Joseph Mallozzi doesn't suck. 🤣 Seriously, you couldn't ask for a better team to be involved in the show. (Well, OK, I was rooting for the longshot - Baron Destructo himself to be showrunner, but Martin really is great!)

@B5Alliance @BaronDestructo I really, really hope it doesnt suck

FINALLY!!! Stargate is returning! Most importantly, though, is the right people are going to be involved in the creative side of the show. Martin Gero is going to be the Executive Producer and showrunner, and both Brad Wright & @BaronDestructo (Joseph Mallozzi) will be involved.

STARGATE RETURNS! Yes, it’s true.  14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon.  And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history.  It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past.  And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more. Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe.  Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted. Martin has been developing this show for a while now.  A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”.  That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series.  Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate. You are all in for a treat. Eventually. Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond.  Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced. It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process.  Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more! Get ready.  We’re heading through the gate one more time. Chevron Eight is locked!

The ads that spread the word to millions... #Babylon5

Two amazingly talented actors who were even more amazing together. #babylon5 #AndreasKatsulas #PeterJurasik

@BaronDestructo Damn, I forgot The Orville. My list now goes to 11.

Putting together a list of the Top 30 Science fiction shows for our upcoming "Best Episode Of..." rewatch and this is what I have so far: THE TOP 10 (The easy choices) Babylon 5 Battlestar Galactica (2004) Black Mirror Dr. Who Farscape Firefly Stargate: SG-1 Star Trek (TNG) Star Trek (TOS) The X-Files THE NEXT 6 (Plenty of fan mentions) Dark Matter (2015) Fringe Quantum Leap (1989) Stargate: Atlantis Stargate: Universe Star Trek (DS9) THE FINAL 15 (Choose from amongst these series but keep in mind nothing too overly serialized as we are selecting a single episode from the show's run. Andor, The Expanse, and The Mandalorian are getting a lot of love, but do their best episodes serve as standard-alones? In other words, do you necessarily have to be fully familiar with the show to enjoy the episode? What's missing? Weigh in!) Andor Blake's 7 Continuum Eureka The Expanse Foundation The Mandalorian The Man in the High Castle The Orville The Outer Limits (1995) Red Dwarf Space: 1999 Space Above and Beyond Star Trek: Enterprise Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Star Trek: Voyager Travelers V

@StephenEPearcy Chris Hager was great. He helped make Rough Cutt a great band. He will be missed.

This morning I’m very saddened to hear about the passing of my dear friend, guitarist and musician Christopher (Chris) Hager. Chris and I started Mickey Ratt together in San Diego 1977 and in moving to L.A. actually created the band RATT in 1981. Chris was an amazing person, a great guitarist, songwriter and so committed to being just that. He went on to create a few projects over the years with Sarge, Rough Cutt, Woop and the Count and our solo project Pearcy/Hager. We were actually working on new songs recently, and they will be heard. I’m at loss my friend, we’ve been through a lot together. God bless you brother. As of this time the family would respect privacy. #chrishager #mickeyratt #ratt

@elCheeso We have a real life President Clark in office. I'd say that puts us on the side of the resistance. It should, anyway.

@B5Alliance Please don't use a Babylon 5 account for political things. Society has become too divided by politics already. Babylon 5 is about everyone coming together for the good of everyone, no matter what. Please don't ruin that message.

Burgermeister MeisterTrumper certainly isn't concerned about whether or not kids get toys this Christmas thanks to his tariffs. He's got HIS toys! Hell, he's getting a new jet from Qatar! #Trump #DonaldTrump #PresidentTrump #burgermeistermeisterburger #toys #tariffs

Americans must get over the fantasy they have that they are a people of core convictions and deeply held beliefs. They’re not.

In a shocking moment of insanity, Karoline Leavitt just defended Trump’s decision to dismantle the consumer product safety commission. That is the agency that among other things, keeps kids alive from dangerous toys. Are they all evil or just inept?

Trump doesn't know that Mattel is a toy manufacturer; he thinks they're a "country" and he's threatening them with a 100% tariff! Gawd help us all.

Trump thinks his idiotic and chaotic tariffs are saving little girls from doll hoarding. #dolls #30dolls #Trump #Tariffs #TradeWar #China #Toys #Chucky #chaos

BREAKING: In a completely unhinged moment, Trump threatens the “country” of Mattel Toys with a 100% tariff if they counter his policies. He threatens that they wouldn’t be able to sell one toy in the USA. Is Donald Trump deranged?

Need a laugh on a Thursday morning? Here, watch baby Donald on ‘cheap Chinese plastic junk’ 🤣🤣

@atrupar Our President, ladies and gentlemen...

the President of the United States, everyone
