Everyone keeps on talking about "rebooting the franchise" since yesterday's news. Why? You could easily come up with a good story that still makes it viable. Here's my idea that I was thinking of last night:
I was thinking yesterday, why not? They could call it something like Stargate Command. I mean, we all know that our beloved team would not be the same forever. People get promoted in the military. They move on, get married, retired, etc. Even if SG-1 had continued it might not be today as it was in season 9, and we all know that there already was a shakeup of the team when O'Neill left, and Carter is now in charge of the Hammond.
So, lets say that we do this a couple years from now. The series could start with a short prologue explaining the state of Atlantis and Destiny, what Destiny's big discovery was and how it affected humanity. Then, a new threat emerges, one that would give Earth a run for its money. They launch a massive attack on Earth and cause all our futuristic technology to be set back to something like SG-1 season 8 levels, perhaps all of our ships are destroyed except for Carter's Hammond (leaving it open for Carter to guest star) and its such a large attack that the Stargate program is finally forced to go public.
With the old SG-1 disbanded and spread out, Stargate Command orders the formation of a new SG-1 comprised of the brightest minds to help combat this threat. The series would continue the adventurous nature of the older series, but would also have some of the darker tone of SGU but without all the soapy aspects. It would also deal with the ramifications of the Stargate going public. Also, not being a reboot means we could see further guest appearances from SG-1/SGA/SGU cast members like what SGU did.
