Stargate Atlantis: Why SGA is EVIL !!

“No one gets left behind!” says the voice of Uncle Sam’s propaganda machine to our spellbound children…

I’ve written a lot of different things in this blog, and a lot about Robert Cooper not paying the clearly agreed upon fee to me for ideas used in the SGA series generated in a script consultation, so I decided I would put enough material up to make it clear that I am actually a writer, not just a mad frothy-mouthed lefty blogger.

you can watch an interview here:

and this is how I feel about a lot of it:

I also intend to put my first script up, written in 1988, which is called

Sleeping on the Side of the World:

A Film in 3 parts

Sand, Heathen, Pagan

I know it’s a bit over the top sounding, but it was my first written feature (90+ min.)

of which a significant portion of sequences (mostly from the Sand segment) was stolen and abbreviated to a short film by a former director of the Cineworks Independent Film Society in Vancouver, and was produced by Cineworks with funding from BBC Channel 4 and Telefilm in the early ’90s.
It is in typewriter print format and needs to be OCR‘d to present here.

I know that extreme efforts have been made here in my community to make my IP theft claims appear baseless, and I hope that the inclusion of these creative materials here and a later detailed explanation of the interaction between Mr. Robert Cooper of Stargate Atlantis and myself during a professional consultation prior to his pilot submission of the series will allow people to see past my current circumstances and entertain the possibility in their minds that I might actually be telling the truth about this intellectual property theft referenced elsewhere on this blog. Legal action would take more than a decade, initial cost to retain a lawyer is a minimum of $25k, and in the history of IP law in Canada there are almost no screenwriters that have ever successfully won a similiar case due to the intrinsically unfair nature of the legislation at present. The one with the most money always wins and I have none.

Mr. Cooper and I had a contractual agreement. The percentage of 15-20% was clearly agreed upon. I delivered my part of the transaction, a set of ideas which could be used to create a pilot and first season storyline regarding the ancient city of Atlantis with additional ideas regarding how the story of Atlantis could be worked into the Stargate Franchise. I not only have not been paid the agreed upon fee, I haven’t been paid anything at all.

A JUNIOR Carpenter on the SG Atlantis project would have made almost $500k during the last 7 years.
I expect, at the VERY LEAST, to be paid what a junior carpenter or steady extra has made during the run of the show, even though Mr. Cooper and I agreed on a much larger percentage with Andy Mikita as witness to the transaction between us.

If a carpenter had worked all month and didn’t get a paycheck, would that be cool? No. So why is it ok for me to receive no payment for the creative consultation I did for the series pilot and first seasons? Why is my work not being credited and why am I specifically not being paid my fee or any fee at all for my creative input into this long running series? I delivered good concepts that carried the show through more than 6 seasons and beyond, so why am I not being paid and yet the JR. CARPENTERS were paid, along with the  painters, editors, writers, sfx crew, post crew, location crew, etc.?

I thank anyone who takes the time to consider my claims in the context of what I have presented, rather than based, Ad Hominem, on the current state in which I exist, Persona Non Grata.

To anyone who can take the time to forward these pages to legal or journalistic entities involved in investigations of injustice, I thank you for your efforts.
