Anyone for a Daedalus tv mini-series?

[Daniel Jackson]

Here's another question... why do we need a mini-series when we already have Atlantis, an ongoing TV series with 20 episodes per season? SG-1 and Atlantis only coexisted, because SciFi renewed SG-1 at the last minute after Atlantis was in pre-production. If you're wanting a movie event, we already had that this year in the form of two SG-1 movies: The Ark of Truth and Continuum.

Miniseries is not the same as SERIES...
Also SGU is still Gatebased..

Exactly... this is Stargate, not Starship
Also the only interesting character n the Daedalus is Cadwell, the rest are just extras/minor roles.

Remember we have Caldwell, Dr Novak the hiccup lady, Hermoid depending on the time it takes place, and maybe Kavanaugh. Seems like a good mix with a wide split of personalities to splash off eachother!

Sounds like a good idea to start with but then when thinking more in depth about it, it becomes a more Star Trek kind of idea which would strip the stargate part away.

However, TPTB could prob pull something kool from it and make it really good, so yeah I wouldnt mind seeing a mini series

They could literally run into anything from either show (wraith, guaould, aschen etc). Apart from the battles fought on screen in SGA they travel back and forth between Earth and Atlantis. They spend a couple days in either galaxy where they could encounter baddies from either show. They spend most of their time between galaxies with GOD KNOWS WHAT lurking in the darkness. Its the things you dont see that are always the scariest

Kool idea actually, if there was one created, it could be more about what is between galaxies rather than what is in the 2 galaxies.

Would make for some interesting viewing

You know, I've wondered where they could go next with this series if they decided to do another spin off. I think that this would the next logical step. At least to me it would be the next logical step.

well, the next series will be ship based, but it won't be about any Earth ship

I think the problem with a Daedalus mini series is that it wouldnt take much to degenerate into Star trek or Battlestar Galactica. 1 ship lost in Ida= Star Trek Voyager. Task force of Earth Ships=Battlestar Galactica. Single Earth Ship exploring space alone= Star Trek Next Gen and Enterprise. You get my point.

The Daedalus space fights are my favorite parts of Atlantis, but a mini series could too easily degenerate into a clone of another sci fi.

Thats a point! I hope the writers bring back Ellie Harvey as Dr Novak at some stage. I get sporadic hicups in real life, so setting aside she is really nice, she a favorite character of mine. It would be great to see her again!

(Waves hello at all the other Novak fans!)


As to a Daedelus mini series, I say no as well. You could have a two parter that is shipboard, but lets us see different aspects of shipboard life. Perhaps in the style of a documentary, from the F 302 fighter pilots perspective? That way it could be a story involving Colonel Sheppard and Major Lorne, on a mission away from Atlantis, and possibly include Dr McKay and or Zelenka for the shipboard sequences? (I am assuming there isn't such a story already, I haven't seen season 4)
