If you’ve been on Twitter in the last 24 hours, you might have noticed more than a few tweets hitting the interweebs with the #WeWantStargate hashtage pinned to the posts.
Spearheaded by former “Stargate” writer and producer, Joe Mallozzi, the “Stargate Superdrive” campaign aimed to get the hashtag trending in order to demonstrate to franchise owners MGM that the fanbase for “Stargate” is alive and strong, and ready for new content.
According to the organizers of the campaign - @StargateNow - the campaign, supported by “Stargate” alumni such as Michael, Amanda Tapping, Torri Higginson, Jewel Staite and David Hewlett, trended to #1 Worldwide, and in the US, Canada, Australia and France.
Whether the posting of “Stargate” memories and a call for a new series by thousands of fans will spur MGM to take notice and revive the franchise has yet to be seen, but there’s no doubt the trending campaign proved the strength and dedication of the “Stargate” fandom.
