A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Chevrons are locked! Amazon is reviving its long-dormant Stargate franchise once more, after a cancelled attempt earlier this year. This time, they're bringing in a big-name creator who's had big success with science fiction and fantasy.
Stargate began in 1994, with a movie from the minds of blockbuster dream team Ronald Emmerich and Dean Devlin. It centered around the alien device of the title, which was found buried in the Egyptian desert decades earlier. In the 1990s, it was finally activated, creating a portal from Earth to a distant planet where powerful aliens masquerade as gods. A military team led by Colonel Jack O'Neill (Kurt Russell) and Egyptologist Daniel Jackson (James Spader) defeated the malevolent aliens and freed their human slaves. The movie was a modest hit, and spun off a popular TV series, Stargate SG-1, with Richard Dean Anderson as O'Neill and Michael Shanks as Jackson. That show ran for 10 seasons and 214 episodes, and spun off a number of satellites, including Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. The series has largely remained in stasis since Universe was cancelled in 2011, but retains a devoted fanbase.
Now, Variety reports that a new Stargate series is in the works, with Jac Schaeffer in command. Schaeffer broke out with WandaVision, Disney+'s inaugural MCU series that became a critical and ratings smash in 2021. The series put Marvel stalwarts the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and the Vision (Paul Bettany) through a bizarre sitcom-themed mystery. She followed that up with the spin-off series Agatha All Along, which centered around wicked witch Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), who was the surprise villain of WandaVision. She recently signed an overall deal with Prime Video; the Stargate series will be the first project under that deal.
