Hey Peter,

Thanks for doing an AMA! A lot of people on reddit care about Net Neutrality, and also have a healthy distrust of government. The commonly proposed solution being suggested by the EFF and other pro-technology and net neutrality organizations is to classify broadband/internet service as a Title II common carrier (AKA as a 'telecommunication service' that can not discriminate data, instead of 'information service' which can). My main hesitation with this is that this would give the FCC even more control over ISPs, which may have unintended consequences on the freedom on the internet. What are your views on current net neutrality issues, and do you have any ideas on this or other solutions?

MIT was one of the pioneers in digitizing records, and the physical archives are hard to come by. My guess would be to check out MIT Draper Labs, as that was where the Apollo guidance computer was made, and I wouldnt be surprised if this unknown MIT student worked there during the Apollo days.

I just have to say that Stargate SG-1 is my absolute favorite piece of media, and it was an amazing experience to grow up with (started with SG1 when I was 6, Atlantis premiered when I was 8). Thank you so much for your critical role in my childhood which gave me not only ~400 hours of entertainment through the three series, but a launching pad for my interest in science, history, and teamwork. Two questions:

1. What "serious" episode (not Wormhole X-Treme! or 200) was the most enjoyable to write? Not necessarily your "best" epsiode, but one you enjoyed the creation/execution of?

2. "Lost City" part one and two are high up on my favorite episodes list, and would have been fantastic series finale and/or movie (though glad it didn't have to be). Is there any chance for a release of at least these episodes in HD (as Seasons 8 through 10 have), in a similar way to Children of The Gods: Final Cut? Based on the performance of the remastered Star Trek: TNG on Blu Ray, I'm not counting on a full rerelease of the series anytime soon, but I know I would pay top dollar for it :)

Thanks again to you, /u/josephmallozzi, Robert C. Cooper, and the rest of the Stargate gang!

What is the best way to get in contact with you about a convention? You can't post emails here publicly (Mods will delete it), but please send a PM! I'm very close with a decent sized convention organizer that has had a lot of showcreators/behind the scenes folks in the post. A 20th anniversary of SG1 convention next year (maybe a reunion of sorts) with as many of you guys would be fantastic!

As a current fellow (working on hard-tech), the one thing I would like to point out is that the fellowship is not a "prize" for past work, but a grant in order to give the freedom to work on something that you are passionate about.
