Seasons & Episode
In 1994, the sci-fi adventure film, Stargate became a surprise blockbuster hit, but the mythos didn’t secure a lasting legacy until it moved to television in the form of Stargate SG1. It was so successful that during its sixth year, talks began regarding a new television spin-off in the form of Stargate Atlantis.
Stargate had been a fixture of science fiction television since the mid-90s. After 10 seasons of SG1 and 5 seasons of Atlantis, the mythos was set to continue as a series of straight-to-DVD movies. However, Stargate’s third small-screen incarnation came into being during one of the most turbulent eras of the mythos; sooner than anyone expected, the writing would be on the wall for Stargate.
