If they did you know that they would choose actors who simply aren't right for the role and then stuff the rest of the show with too much CGI.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

Now, I wouldn’t mind reading a re-boot of the series. I would love to see everything up to where ascension came into the picture and then they turn left and go a different direction. I wouldn’t even mind a serious animated reboot with the originals doing voice over, although it would really be tough to take without Don S. Davis.

I watch Stargate for the chemistry between the original SG-1 cast. A re-boot wouldn't interest me in the slightest.
It would be like the awful teen SG-1 spoof with Cory Monteith from "200". Universe was bad enough!Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

I have said before that any remake of SG1 should eliminate ascension, the Anubis story arc and the Replicators. Personally I wasn't crazy about the Ori story line either. I could do without it.
Perhaps there should be a greater elaboration on the goa'uld as intelligent creatures even prior to their insertion because it remains rather unrealistic to have the idea of a serpentine creature capable of humanoid consciousness without a detailed explanation of how this is possible.
PS Could anyone refresh my memory as to why and how the stargate system came into being according to the storyline of Stargate 1994? If it did not involve the Ancients etc., what was the purpose of a single gate address between Earth and the unnamed planet (which we assume to be Abydos)?Last edited by Dave2; 18 July 2013, 04:14 AM.

I would watch a series about a spinoff with the Ancients, so much we don't know about them.
I Just don't see a reboot, can't imagine getting a group of actors together with the same chemistry. That and they really can't develop their own character, imagine the constant reminders ''Michael Shanks did it better'' ''That guy isn't as funny as RDA was''

For me, the best possible resurrection of SG-1 would be an animated film series featuring the voices of the original cast. Not only would this eliminate the issue of $3million per produced hour production costs, but it would also enable Jack O'Neill to exceed the limitations of the fact that RDA is over sixty now, and can't do stunts that most 25 year-olds wouldn't do.
A close 2nd would be a book series produced by the original writers and cast, like Joss Whedon's Buffy Seasons Eight & Nine. It's not that I doubt there are other capable writers out there, but it needs to be the originals to keep the voices of the cast.
A straight reboot would hold little appeal for me--SGU was sort of a retooling of Stargate while keeping the continuity and featuring most of SG1 periodically, and I was even letdown there. I'm not one of the folks who hated SGU, but I never felt attached to any of the characters like I did to Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Daniel, Hammond, Shep, McKay, Teyla, Ronan, Weir, and Beckett.sigpic"Most of our John Sheppard impressions sound more like a demented Jimmy Stewart than Joe Flanigan."

P.S. I would love to see any reboot go back to Showtime. I mean if there were to be a reboot, I want to see a serious reboot that they can do just about anything they want to with.
And I found a thread where they are discussing a similar topic.

I also agree with Beliskner86. We don't know enough about the Ancients. I don't know if a whole series would work, but if there were a reboot or an new spin-off I think it would be great to have more flashback type episodes about the Ancients. Maybe even a season where one episode is current followed by another that tells stories of the Ancients' history.Last edited by Looney; 21 July 2013, 07:40 AM.

More toward the action genre, DC has been putting out animated Batman/Superman DVDs for the past few years that are more adult-themed than the Nolan films, with voice casts who are big name TV stars, and that have sold better than Ark of Truth.sigpic"Most of our John Sheppard impressions sound more like a demented Jimmy Stewart than Joe Flanigan."
