October 31, 2009: That Long Overdue Rant – And A Behind-The-Scenes Vid From Water
So I walked into the office the other day to discover a glowering Carl seated at his desk. Now, usually, it takes him the better part of the morning to work his way up to a full glower but, on this particular day, Carl was already there the second I walked in. When I asked [...]

Mallozzi's Updates for October 30-31, 2009
Stargate UniverseOctober 31 FROM ENTRY [NOTE: Joe dedicates nearly the entire entry to the negativity on his blog, in forums, and other places. The "idiocy" got so bad that Brian J. Smith left Twitter and his mom Sherri Harris left Joe's blog.] Conclusion: "Hmmm. A lot less ranty than I’d expected two days ago when I had originally planned to tackle this topic. Still, ranty enough to ensure some thin-skinned faction of fandom will be whining and stomping its feet in response. Hey, while you‘re here, check out a behind-the-scenes vid from ...

SGU Producer Joseph Mallozzi Would Like you to Stop Being Idiots
SciFiCool.com | No Anal Probing Involved — [image] Well, this, er, is not going to prove very fruitful. Apparently tired of all the “Stargate: Universe” bashers showing up at his blog and leaving, well, SGU bashing comments, SGU producer/writer Joseph Mallozzi has responded with a long statement on his blog . Besides addressing the overall negativity of “Stargate” loyalists who haven’t seen the light, Mallozzi also addresses some of the more hostile reactions to the show. Unfortunately, I’m afraid he’s only going to keep the “conflict” going by addressing it, which is probably not the intent. On the negativity towards ...

Solutions Blog — ... Telford finally gets the chance to make his move to take over the Destiny while he’s in the body of the man he’s trying to replace, Colonel Young.

BillieO’s Blog —                        sgucastbanner.jpg picture by BillieO  Seems like Stargate Universe has hit a bump in the road or to put it in more appropriate vernacular, a huge asteroid belt.  On October 31, 2009, longtime Stargate writer, Joseph Mallozzi , left an ill-conceived rant on his popular blog denouncing disgruntled fans who had posted crude and negative opinions over various internet sources, such as twitter, syfy and even his own blog, all voicing their extreme displeasure about the new incarnation of Stargate .  There are now over 500 posts on ...
