Definitely hard to extend the original canon/continuity!

Our heroes eventually become very overpowered, with ~12y of shows resolving millions of years of space opera backstory to our protagonists' benefit, as they defeat the parasites-on-good-ol'-humans in not one, not two, but three galaxies. (Or is it 4?)

But it's such a rich mythology that if rebooted, with all the old stuff as inspiration, updated for modern sensibilities, they could have new really-fertile Cinematic Universe.

RDM's BSG was 10x better than the original, & now JMS is doing his own updated reboot of Babylon 5.

Amazon should find a bunch of people with love for, & credibility regarding, the original & have them brainstorm a giant new set of multi-year arcs, cleanup of old weaknesses or outdated elements, homages & new spins on the original core elements, etc.

They could kick off another 2 decades of gradually-unfolding, but well-adapted for the 2020s/2030s, universe- & multiverse- & metaverse-spanning sci-fi.

If anyone from the relevant Amazon/MGM group is reading this: I have some ideas!

My dream series is Make it so the gate, and galactic travel, and all alien high technology goes public. public disclosure fallowed by the immediate political ramification of all the governments of the world knowing about alien life and going to war with it in secret. weak governments would be toppled stronger ones would have regime changes. afterword the expansion and colonization of space and how that works out for different countries doing so differently along with how to the other inhabitant of the galaxy react when it goes from the 'those brave earth warriors that overthrew the oppressive false god of the goa'uld and saved us from forced conversion at gun point by the Ori" to "those bastard are now trying to colonized my planet." Plus the goa'uld never went away just are no longer the galaxy spanning power they were before. couldn't you see the likes of Baal taking over corporations in charge of colony projects. then there is Atlantis were things were it just kind of ended without any resolution to the goings on in Pegasus galaxy or what happens to the ori galaxy after their gods were all killed their priest lost power and the entire power structure that held their society together disappeared overnight leaving the most powerful space navy in the show with no one left in charge (might want to check up on them). then there is the asgaurd home galaxy (triangulum) that now is left without the asgaurd or replicator but what else was their they were in the habit of nurturing lesser species and they just handed earth the keys and told us to take of everything before they mass suicided again we might want to check on that. Oh and their are the Vanir (asgaurd splinter group form millennias ago ) we me in the last season of atlantis

Universe was something with an interesting storyline. I can imagine watching it more.

I also heard that a new show would introduce the Stargate to the public with plenty of though experiments they could play out.

Stargate Atlantis also had plenty of new ideas.

I hope that it will not feel like std were technology looses it's fun due to it being so advanced that it doesn't matter anymore.

> "Picard" or worse... ST:Discovery

Glad I'm not the only that's fed up with overly emotional therapy TV shows.

> SG-1 was an epic show, but where would you take it next?

I'm being 50% sincere, but SG-2? (I know they were in the show sometimes, but hand-wave)

To me, the show was best with the Go'uld tie-ins with Ancient Earth mythology. Give me more of that, with that smooth, melodramatic pacing and I'm in.

I miss shows that don't try to have big arc plots and huge setpieces that blow up the per-episode budget; but instead, are okay with being 24-episode seasons of comfy rubber-mask filmed-in-a-forest-in-Vancouver monster-of-the-week schlock. The 90s had so much of this: Stargate, X-Files, Buffy, etc. Why aren't we still making this? Do we just collectively feel like the world has "enough" of it?

Or, to put that another way: I don't need to go anywhere else in the Stargate universe. The place we started in is fine. I just want to watch a cast of hammy actors with excellent chemistry walk through a big puddle into novel science-fantasy situations.

We need a reboot with all the special effects possible today - for the newer generation. Folks could use the opportunity to tighten up some of the plot-lines too. And have public exposure of the gates - thanks to some whistleblower.

i liked "picard"! whats wrong with picard?

There was a reading of an AI-generated script with 4 cast members, but I haven't heard anything (or been able to find anything) about an actual reunion.

I’d take either. I thought by S2 Universe was very promising after an unfocused S1. It died before its time.

The movie was always a favorite of mine, and I think Shanks did a servicable job after Spader (even though no one could replace Russell). I would love a reboot of SG1 that isn't shackled by the budget of a 1997 genre TV-show. The spin-offs got gradually further away from what I liked about the initial premise, even if I understand what others might like about them.

i agree; universe was a little too bleak, which was trendy at the time. we need something campy and fun.

On the one hand, the original recordings & models might not be sufficient for a true 'remaster' from original sources.

But on the other, ML-driven upscaling has improved so much that a model trained specifically on the full series – so that it inherently "knows" what various characters/sets/props should look like, at higher-resolutions, from other closer-in shots – might offer acceptable results.

Definitely worth a research project from a tech-smart outfit like Amazon.
