What would you ladies and gentlemen, reckon if there is new stargate series after SGU(I hope), do you reckon it would be a great idea to tell how the stargate began? What I mean is, tell it during the time of the ancients. Good idea or what?

I would love to see a series about life on Earth after the Stargate program is made public. The fighting that ensues, the international teams and the advance in technology. I always pictured the last scene of the last Stargate show depicting the "big reveal" but maybe there could be a tie-in with SGU somehow.
Another idea would be a series where Earth is destroyed or at least badly damaged and focuses on the military responses from off-world sites. First priority of surviving the attacks, then recovering and responding to the threat.
I bet neither of ideas would generate the ratings needed to survive but I would enjoy them.

Personally i would love SGU you to carry on. Once it has eventually finished i don't see where it can go from there. I wouldn't want a prequel.
I guess once SGU is finished they should concentrate on 1 big movie. Tieing them all into each other somehow. I'm not sure, i just don't want it to go on forever and lose the Stargate(ness)? Out of it.

STAR TREK
The original show was a 1960's masterpiece, but it was cancelled after three seasons. Some call it a failure, but let's be honest. A lot of the quicky shows from the 1960's has a short run. Due to syndication ratings, the show was going to return with most of the actors/characters on a new five-year-mission. Due to the success of Star Wars, Paramount pushed for a feature film that became a film series. The Voyage Home's success lead to The Next Generation. There was little competition in syndication and with other science-fiction programming, so the show was an instant success. It was the same premise as the original show, only set a century later on a new Enterprise with new characters and a budget that could actually do the show justice. This lead to two spin-off shows: Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Neither were anywhere near as successful as TNG, but both shows lasted just as long (7 years). TNG being as big as the original also had it's own film series. Rather than bring VOY back for an eighth season, the producers wanted to do a prequel show. They got bored with TNG-era "24th century" Star Trek. People bash Enterprise, because it wasn't birth of the Federation. The show was never going to be that, it was just going to be Star Trek in the 22nd century. The show was a dismal failure in ratings, but not because of quality, though that is debatable. TNG was a big deal when it premiered as was DS9, largely because TNG was still on the air. Due to both being syndicated, they could be aired back-to-back at night. VOY was a big deal, because it was on a new network, so it got a lot of media attention. When ENT came along, UPN was a dieing network, and the show got little promotion. Most people I know didn't know there was a new show, they thought Voyager's finale was the end of Star Trek on TV. A lot of fans didn't discover the show until after it ended. Granted, those would be casual fans who don't constantly check out the websites and forums. There should have been a pause between VOY and ENT. Wait two or three years, take the time to do the show right. After a few years, people would be excited for a new show. In the end, it was a good show. Two years of episodic adventures, a year-long storyline about saving the Earth from paranoid aliens, and then a year of two and three-parters that forshadowed the Federation.
STARGATE
If anything, the parallels play out like this... SG-1=TNG, ATL=DS9, UNI=VOY. Why? SG-1 was hugely popular, just like TNG, only with a smaller cable audience. ATL was set on a far away outpost, was a direct spinoff, and aired on the same night as it's parent show. There's a DS9 parallel there. UNI and VOY are both shows about a crew of people on a ship isolated far from home. The premises are different, but again... there's a parallel. Honestly, I think the production team will have creative burnout after UNI. Modern Star Trek lasted four shows. Stargate's put out three. Universe could be the end of the road, folks.
