I've been sitting with this for a few days. Here are my thoughts.

I've always said I'd rather have no new Stargate as opposed to bad Stargate. If what we get now is, as has been suggested, AI slop, then that would be a hard no from me.

This whole thing reminds me of how the Buffy reboot got axed. One guy in a suit who relished telling SMG that he had never seen any of the original series. Have any of these Amazon guys seen the original?

Michael Shanks has been so vocal and I have a frisson of an idea why: he was in it. Maybe a regular, maybe recurring, maybe just there to launch the show. None of the other cast, afaik, have said squat but Shanks is all over it.

That's just how I feel about it, what do you think?

Whoops, fell off posting.

In sad news, Anthony Head has died at age 72. RIP to this legend, may his memory be a blessing. I wonder what of his many roles he'll be remembered most for. Uther Pendragon, Rupert Giles, or his Ted Lasso, or one of his many Doctor Who roles or something else?

For those whole liked the 45 in 45 sorting game (that I posted about a bit back) it has inspired an adjustable version where you can choose to play a 10x10, 15x15 or 20x20 version. And what's neat is they're not static games! "In this version, there are 150+ total categories, a subset of which will be randomly selected upon generating a puzzle. Most of the categories have more than 20 items (and some categories, many more!), so even if you get the same category across multiple games, you are likely to encounter new items." So you can replay several times and it will be different each time (or at least somewhat different, certain topics do seem to pop up frequently, it's very enamored with Shakespeare's plays for example from what I've seen).
