Will the gate be spinning? Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.
I’m glad that it’s helmed by someone who’s worked extensively on the original shows. Hopefully it won’t suck too much.

Please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck!
I hope they come back with something more optimistic and upbeat than the needlessly edgy SG:U. I get that drama and conflict are needed, but a main cast that's constantly fighting gets tiresome really quickly.
SG:U was tapping into BSG’s teenage drama in space.
So look to what current sci-fi shows are popular to see what they’ll shamelessly copy instead.
They had better not decide that discovery is popular.
I’ll take Disco over the upcoming fash-trek universe

The whatnow?
David Ellison now owns Paramount and thus Star Trek. He has stated he has big plans, with Star Trek as a priority and to make it 'appeal to middle america'.
Oh shit
The thing is... the original series was incredibly melodramatic. There was a constant uptick in drama... but often in a very tongue-in-cheek way. There was no acknowledgment of the ridiculousness of the premise in SG:U, if they took themselves less seriously (and had less high school level drama) it might have been a better show. Unfortunately that wasn't the algorithm at the time :(
Sadly, I don't think it's the current algorithm now either, so this new show still won't have the feel of the original series or Atlantis.
A another style, I enjoyed the lore. We learn more about the ancient and others events.
Another show for amazon to cancel
Let us start our fan mantra: please don’t suck. Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck.
Is Amanda Tapping joining?
I hope she's on board at least as a producer or maybe a cameo. She's got some solid production/directing chops, so it could be incredibly beneficial to have her on.
My money is on either her or Picardo being moderately involved. Carter is the obvious choice for the “General”, where Woolsey is a wonderful pick for civilian leadership as he saw significant growth over his character’s appearances. Smart money is on Hewlett appearing for at least a cameo, he’s more impressive in real life than his character, and I bet he’d jump at the chance to reprise a more mature version of his role.
What, 6 whole eps a year?
And they'll cancel it after a cliffhanger
Hmmm.. It is always a crap shoot with Amazon, but I will check this out.

"NO! GOD NO! PLEASE GOD NO!"
It's gonna be bad
The main thing that Stargate did well imo is how they blended religions and conspiracy theories into their world. I wonder what there is to explore in that regard
First contact and associated coverups are hot right now. Have they covered that already?
That took long enough. Wonder if it will stream on Amazon, or MGM+.
Who cares? Don't give Bezos more money, pirate it.
The article says it will stream on Prime Video
You say it's on Streamio? Nice
I'm hoping for a simultaneous release on jellifin.
Interesting, considering it’s an MGM property. Makes me wonder if that channel will simply be absorbed into Prime like Freevee was.
he's gonna cast ashley johnson while the mighty nein show is going on isn't he? :P
Now do Babylon 5
My hopes / wishes for the new Stargate show:
- That they remember SG characters care about the wellbeing of creatures regardless of identity and stand up for the underdog. They wrestle with moral dilemmas and work towards a better tomorrow.
- That they remember that fantastical stories are good when they are grounded in rules (no magical solutions). When puzzles can be solved with the tools available, it's a good Stargate show.
- Jokes and campiness make Stargate Stargate; but meeting a 1 joke per minute quota isn't the way. (Don't be a Marvel wanna-be)
- Sell physical media to be purchased
