Fan rebellion threatens “Stargate”

With its most beloved character dead, its adult female fans up in arms and its ratings in ruins, the once-hot sci-fi series "Stargate SG-1" may be doomed.

BY MARY MCNAMARA


At one time — actually, just two years ago — the syndicated science-fiction series “Stargate SG-1? seemed to have it all: a fervent core audience and hot, hot ratings. The series, which airs on Showtime as well as on most Fox stations across the United States, appeared to many industry observers as if it might be building into a bazillion-dollar “Star Trek”-like franchise.

In May 2000, at the end of its second season in syndication (each new season of episodes airs on Fox a year after it premieres on Showtime), “Stargate SG-1? was the top-rated show in the “syndicated action hour” category. Based on the 1994 hit movie “Stargate,” which starred Kurt Russell and James Spader, the show had developed an intensely loyal following of fans who loved its Trekkian premise: interplanetary adventure in which a team of four explorers dials a set of symbols embedded in a gate, allowing them to pass through and set foot in other worlds. What’s more, in a category largely aimed at males in their teens and 20s, “Stargate” appealed to a broad audience that included many adult women.

Viewers loved the chemistry among the four leading cast members, a dynamic that some felt rivaled the camaraderie of the original “Star Trek” series. They were enthusiastic about Sam (Amanda Tapping), a strong female officer physicist, and they fell for the alien Teal’c (Christopher Judge), a paragon of dignity and strength. In particular, they attached themselves to the relationship between Jack, a crusty Air Force colonel (Richard Dean Anderson), and the learned archeologist and linguist Dr. Daniel Jackson, played by Michael Shanks.

Indeed it was Shanks’ character, with his Spock-like appeal to female fans, whom many viewers saw as the pivotal figure in the “Stargate” universe. At least 40 distinct fan-produced Web sites are devoted to Shanks alone, about the same number as are devoted to Matt Damon or Brad Pitt. All this for an actor on an off-network show who employs no personal publicist.

NEXT DAY. Nicholas is walking through the grounds of the university, jotting in his notebook. He looks around and stops near a car parked at the roadside. With a California license plate, its registration is 46YYR9P. He jots another note to himself. A man hurries out of the nearby building and trots towards him, and a certain faction of SG-1 fandom squees loudly in delight.

(Emily's House)

Roger: So I went to find help. I was more messed up than I thought. I wandered for days, eventually passed out in this field. So there I was, out in Nebraska, feeling like that was the place I was going to die. And then the strangest thing happened. It was a light in the sky. Bright light with a ring around it. I went towards it, two miles later, I stumbled into the refugee camp. That light, saved my life.
