Mother’s day was yesterday. I know a lot of good mothers who deserve recognition as such. I would never say otherwise. What I will say however, is that not everyone who has had children is a good person let alone parent. Rule of thumb, if you’re asking yourself whether I’m talking about you, clearly you have given yourself reason to ask. Work on that. Happy mothers’ day to the mothers who’ve earned it.
I finally got off my ass and got shit done for my California license. Now I can kill myself happily knowing I’m not dying with utah driver license. And yes, I leave utah uncapitalized on purpose. I just have my interim license right now but within thirty days I’ll get the real thing. It was so hot and I had to make two trips on the bus and in the heat but it’s done. Now then, what to talk about. How about some more of my nerving out about Stargate stuff so I can continue begging for a job writing on Stargate?
I’ve touched on this briefly I’m pretty sure but the state of the Pegasus galaxy. As things were left at the end of Stargate Atlantis, the city itself was on Earth in the Milky Way. Michael is thought to be dead. The wraith hive conflict is pretty well in full swing and at least wraith, Todd, if not his hive have the weaponized Hoffan drug and/or Beckett’s retrovirus, but as I recall still no effective means of delivery for either, And the Tau’ri of Earth should now also have a few tons of wraith super-hive scrap to research, and possibly even one or two possibly usable ZPMs. Anyone catch something I missed? Please, I’d love to discuss any of this with someone else. Feel free to reach out and we can talk about it.
Moving on. Like I’ve said before, in MY IMAGINING OF A NEW SERIES WHILE HAVING EXACTLY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NEW IMPENDING SERIES…that is the point here. I want to be apart of Stargate going forward and all my pining here would ideally get some notice and in turn, me a job writing for Stargate going forward. So, Atlantis is back in Pegasus, on the most recent plant it occupied before flying to the Milky Way to fight the impending wraith threat there. With another ZPM on Atlantis aside from more advanced naqudah reactors, regular commute between SGC and Atlantis is enjoyed by all. Col. John Sheppard(Ret.) is the current leader of the Atlantis Expeditionary Coalition. Dr. Rodney Mackay is of the Science Division on Atlantis. Col. Anne Teldy is the commanding officer of military forces on Atlantis with her right hand, Maj. “Dusty” Mehra as Security Chief. And this staffing is of course my ideal. I would love for these performers to come back and reprise these roles but I fully understand that may not be an option in the big, stupid, real world. Making everything stupid and not great. At this point, Atlantis is effectively an extension of the SGC in Pegasus. Exploring, researching, and for lack of a better word policing the galaxy. More often than is preferred, more or less refereeing among various wraith factions warring and dragging humans into crossfire.
There is essentially no more cooperation among many hives. A few weaker hives clinging to their old ways and their very existence have joined together however, even then lack sufficient numbers to pose much a threat to any other hives. Some hives manage to cull from time to time but that’s still pretty dangerous, what with their well poisoned and all. Some hives turn to cannibalism, feeding on their brothers. Some hives have found the means to turn wraith into human. On occasion trying to use this technology on enemy hives and a little more often, using it to mean prep on board their own ships.
One thing I’d like to see is some sort of return of Michael. Sure, it looks like he died…again. Sheppard even says right then some to the effect, we thought he was dead before. Michael’s research and proven capacity for cloning leaves wide open the opportunity to return. Even if Connor Trinneer doesn’t return, a Michael clone doesn’t have to be identical, given Michael’s work manipulating genetics. There are many possibilities with this character and he was always one of my favorite things in this series specifically.
Alright, that’s my Stargate daydreaming for today. As usual, if anyone can get this in front of Martin Gero, please do. If he knows I exist and that I’m doing this, I could have an opportunity to talk him into giving me a job writing for Stargate. Until next time.
