The STARGATE Cast Is Reuniting to Read a Google AI Written Script

It’s been years since

Stargate consistently appeared on television. Expanding the world from the 1994 Stargate film, the TV franchise spun hundreds of stories about alien worlds and tech. For the record, I’d still follow Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) anywhere—including to a Stargate reunion! Cast members from Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are coming together for a special table read (which we first learned about at and ). They’ll be performing a script written entirely by Google AI. That means AI came up with the dialogue and the stage directions.

Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, David Hewlett, and Jewel Staite will reprise their roles of Dr. Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, Dr. Rodney McKay, and Jennifer Keller.

co-creator Brad Wright and Marc Evan Jackson (), who is apparently a fan, will host the event. The group will perform the script, which original artwork will help bring to life. You can see some of that art in the trailer. And yes that includes a glimpse of the actual Stargate.

The above trailer also teases some of the silliness in store. It seems the cast slips back into their roles quite easily for the Stargate reunion. I haven’t had Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter in my life in over 10 years, and it warms my heart to see Shanks and Tapping joking together again. Plus this table read means bringing together Staite and Shanks for the first time as their

characters never crossed paths.

Fingers crossed this is the the beginning of more
