Been a long time since I posted, in all honesty since SGU I have barely been here.
Loved Stargate but wasn't impressed with the path it was taking, I still feel the show producers were becoming too arrogant when they started saying that the show could be bigger than Startrek.
They were very arrogant when they tried to change the tone of the show too much for SGU, just like what happened to Enterprise.
For a reboot I think this is the only way Stargate is going to continue and can work. They showed this with the reboot of Startrek and now there is talk of other reboots of Sci-Fi shows. To be honest it doesn't matter too much who is writing the show at the end of the day it really either be a Cinema release or straight to DVD. Straight to DVD has 1% hope of success and Cinema release increases chances of a future with Stargate.
It's such a shame the show changed its tone with SGU - I was impressed with the episode quality but with a serious lack of in depth story in each episode it felt like I was watching Stargate: Eastenders (dallas, Home and Away, Coronation Street - insert any term you want). I know what they was trying to do with the show, essentially an extended version of Battlestar Galactica but even that show gave us more story over 2 Years compared to SGU. That show didn't have the budget either compared to SGU... had better actors as well..
This may not be a popular post but if there is a future to StarGate we can scrap the idea of going back to SGU because it cost too much and its gains wasn't good enough.
