I am not remotely excited for any reboots. I don't want Stargate: Discovery

I couldn't agree more.
I'm a die hard fan. I started watching Stargate SG-1 when I was a kid in 1997 (season 1). I've seen ever single episode of every series. Every movie. All multiple times.
I REALLY don't want to see a modern reboot that is like Star Trek Discovery. I'll be so disappointed if they do.
I do think it is possible to revive the franchise and make a compelling show. However, it would be tough to pull off. I love that the show never took itself too serious. Stargate Universe was the opposite and flopped because of this.

Perhaps an opportunity for the Stargate creative team to learn from the mistakes of recent reboots.
The recent-ish Travelers from Brad Wright had some good episodes.

Travellers was really good I thought. The acting really brought it together.

I relate to David more than I'd admit on an account with my real name.

Richard Dean Anderson made Stargate for me, it wouldn't be the same without him. Star Trek was lucky they were able to get Patrick Stewart and Avery Brooks but I doubt the Stargate reboot will do as well at casting.
They tried that with SG Universe right? I thought it had real premise but it didn’t really take off. Iirc, there was a writers guild strike which killed all momentum or something.
The Stargate universe has its tongue firmly in its cheek. SG:U tried to play it grimdark. You can parody serious works, but going the other way around is much harder (IMO).

I agree a reboot would likely be disappointing. I wouldn't mind a continuation of the movie version though. I was excited a few years ago when they announced they were going to make two sequels to the movie, which would ignore the show. I think would be the right move. Even though I thoroughly enjoy the show, the movie is definitely telling a slightly different story. Unfortunately, it looks like the momentum on the sequels has died.
