Area 51?

[Colonel Forte]

What is the new Sci-Fi channel show that is supposed to be about Area 51, or was it just a movie? I didn't hear much about it except for a commercial or two, but I was wondering if anyone knew anymore. I was hoping that perhaps it would crossover with Stargate but ultimately that's up to MGM. Personally though, I would like to see a Stargate canon Area 51 show, or at the very least a movie/miniseries.

EATG

Spoiler:

I wouldn't say its destroyed. Certain areas just need remodeling

well, we did have 2 darts explode there not counting any explosive material possibly there..

besides even if it was still there theres not really much to have as a show IMHO

Just rewatched EatG just to be sure and all of Area 51 wasn't destroyed, just one maybe two buildings I think. It doesn't have to be a whole show either, maybe just a miniseries about, oh I don't know, what kind of research they're doing there: reverse engineering alien technology and integrating alien tech into 302's and 304's.

Even better, it could be a fake documentary like that one episode of SG-1 and the end could show General O'Neill vetoing it for public viewing, or maybe allowing it to air on Fox like "Alien Autopsy."

this should be moved to off topic/general scifi fantasy

I know what he's talking about. Unfortunately I do not know the name of it and it doesn't have anything to do with Stargate, or Area 51.

I think what you are referring to is the new Sci-Fi original series Hangar 18.

Area 51 wasn't destroyed. Most of the place is underground. That they even thought to store the chair in an above ground building was a stupid plot device meant to easily get rid of the chair.

Where does it say that the majority of the place is underground?

That's it, thank you. Hangar 18 goes hand-in-hand with Area 51 lore for those who don't know. I'd still want to see an SG crossover of some kind.

I don't know if it is based in Area 51's Hangar 18 or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's Hangar 18.
Either way it looks promising.
