Stargate was an adventure military science fiction franchise, initially conceived by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin. The first film in the franchise was simply titled Stargate. It was originally released on October 28, 1994, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Carolco, and became a hit, grossing nearly $200 million (USD) worldwide. Three years later, Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner created a television series titled Stargate SG-1 as a sequel for the film.
In addition to film and television, the Stargate franchise has expanded into other media, including books, video games, and comic books. These supplements to the film and television series have resulted in significant development of the show's fictional universe and mythology. In 2008, the films Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Continuum were released direct-to-DVD, which in total grossed over $21 million in the United States. In 2002 the franchise's first animated series, Stargate Infinity, began airing, which holds no canonicity in the franchise despite its Stargate SG-1-inspired plot. In 2004, the TV series Stargate Atlantis was released as a spin off from Stargate SG-1 and a third series, Stargate Universe, premiered on October 2, 2009. Stargate Universe was cancelled during its second season, leaving it on a semi-cliffhanger. Then on April 17, 2011, Stargate producer Brad Wright announced that any plans for the continuation of the franchise had been cancelled indefinitely, ending 17 seasons of Stargate television production.
It's like a stargate that beckons you in
Swinging wide for you then closing you in
Not suspecting or detecting you're pinned
Then it's over and it's all going dim
Just in an instant all your dreams fade away
It goes so fast it's all gone in a day
So many moments that replay in your thoughts
You think that they'll last but then there's nothing you've got
And if you give in and rely on her sooth
She's gonna burn you and pour salt in your wound
Takes all the effort and life out of you
And then you wake up and find out you're through
I'm not gonna be there when you find out you're wrong
I'm not gonna catch you, you've been falling all along
If you're trying to hurt me, well then this you should know
I'm not gonna shed one tear, so get up get up and go
So don't depend on what's here and right now
You'll find out they'll bite and they'll brake you somehow
Does it make sense to leave me behind
You crawl on my skin you played with my mind
I gave myself up to a beckoning love
Left all behind like a call from above
But if you think I'm going down just to stay
I'll come back fighting strong in each way
There's nothing better than a will in the heart
Than the odds thrown against you right from the start
Opened myself to a possible shame
Broke all the rules so it's me it's me I should blame
I'm not gonna be there when you find out you're wrong
I'm not gonna catch you, you've been falling all along
If you're trying to hurt me, well then this you should know
