“The working title of the third Stargate television series has been unveiled! The series currently exists in the form of a one-page treatment of the story and characters, with the title Stargate Universe, executive producer Robert C. Cooper told GateWorld exclusively.”
Will 3 Stargate titles be one to many? With the original series winding down (or possibly just wearing out) apparently there is a new series in the works. Don’t get me wrong I have enjoyed both Stargate and Stargate Atlantis, I just think that the original series was better before it lost Richard Dean Anderson.

Perhaps you like awake at night wondering which was larger a borg cube or a Kazon warship. (Perhaps you have watched too much Star Trek and should move out of your parents basement.) But if you have then you should check out
This site is intended to allow science fiction fans to get an impression of the true scale of their favorite science fiction spacecraft by being able to compare ships across genres, as well as being able to compare them with contemporary objects with which they are probably familiar.
The scales are based on meter-to-pixel ratios so that they are accurate on any platform. The background grid is divided into groups of ten, and larger groups of one hundred pixels, to allow for easy measurement.
This site is only intended to compare the actual physical dimensions of the starships herein, and makes no claims as to any other aspect of these ships (firepower, speed, etc.). Each genre is worthy of respect in its own right and no preference is given to any one genre. If you are interested in a certain vessel/being, I encourage you to view to film or read the books in which they originally appeared in all their glory. In time, I will provide the source information with each vessel to make it easier to find these sources.

As it is was not bad enough news that Joss Whedon has announced that there will be no more Firefly movies or TV shows, Slashdot carried this story:
“What happens when a film studio and a fanbase get into bed? Fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly, and the movie by Universal Studios — Serenity — are not amused. After being encouraged to viral market Serenity, the studio has started legal action against fans (demanding $9000 in retroactive licensing fees in one case and demanding fan promotion stop), and going after Cafepress. The fans response? Retroactively invoice Universal for their services.”
To date the browncoats are invoicing Universal for $1.8 billion dollars for the viral marketing they created for the movie. You have to love the hutzpah.
