"Sometimes we found ourselves lamenting the new rules we made up," Wright explained. In fact, one new rule in particular, created to reduce the number of character deaths on the series, grew so complicated that Wright and company eventually just shoved it to the back shelf of the show. But of course, some of those rules come with pitfalls, and sometimes you make a rule so complicated that it starts to get in the way of actual storytelling. As part of a larger discussion of the rules you must establish when working within a science fiction universe, Wright laid out various challenges that the SG-1 writers encountered over the course of the series, and how they solved them by creating new rules. Throw in two follow-up shows, more spinoff movies, and of course the original film, and you've got a lot of narrative spinning out of a single tale about a space portal.Īnd of course, running out that many story threads for the SYFY original franchise over the course of decades is bound to create a few issues, as SG-1 co-creator Brad Wright explained in a recent piece for The Companion. Stargate SG-1 alone covers more than 200 episodes of stories, and that's not even counting the two spinoff movies they made.
The Stargate franchise is one of the biggest sci-fi has to offer.
