I'm hoping it's a huge success on Netflix and they pick it up

This is all that appears on my TwitterX now.
Fans be pissed.
It probably still would have been "woke slop" anyways.
Personally I never cared for Stargate. Found the show too boring and silly except for the O'Neill guy. But I do sympathize with fans.
On the bright side though, Stargate fans don't have to deal with the disappointment that us Star Wars and Star Trek fans have to.

It's on my watch list for next year. I know the show has a lot of seasons plus there's Atlantis and the other one. I'm gonna to take my times with those shows since there's a lot of episodes

I know lots of folks say it would have been crap and they very likely are right but at least it would have a chance. The old stuff isn't going away so a chance at adding more I would take.
I also wonder if they were planning it with a big budget and that's why they canceled it? The old stuff was actually fairly inexpensive to make and probably had a fairly large roi with little cost so it was easy to justify its production.

After their last few attempts, it's probably for the best.
Nothing will ever recapture the lighting in the bottle of the 90s/2000's iconic SciFi shows. There's no soul in current year.

I do believe that it's nothing to do with not enough engagement beyond the fans of the original like they say, but instead it's about conflict between the writers/directors not bowing to Amazon's execs who want to change everything for modern audiences so if we did get their vision then it shouldn't have been woke slop.

Why wouldn't it? I think both Stargate SG1 & Atlantis were series popular all around the world. Sure the Americans kept control of the Stargate system on Earth (at least initially), but the shows didn't lean on that heavily and they were mostly about exploring alien worlds and having adventures. Very easy shows to start watching even without seeing all previous episodes.

Considering it was being made by the original show runners, it wasn't geared towards that audience. It was being made for the fans.

this is for the best. Amazon has done enough damage to LoTR

Which according to sources is why Amazon cancelled it. They wanted this to have a broader appeal to people outside the fanbase.

Which begs the question what does that even mean to amazon? We can all joke about the casting by excel spead sheet, but its not like amazon has a great track record for their own developed shows so I don't know what they think they can do better
The idea of rebooting is that it already has an inbuilt fan base to built off (something a lot of studio's seem to have forgotten)

Probably because a Stargate series wouldn't be cheap, like Reacher for example. It would be a high budget series.
To justify the costs, Amazon would want as many viewers as possible. It would need to appeal to fans and non-fans alike for global reach.
This is why I don't think the 40K series will take off. It's currently in the writing phase, but if Amazon don't believe it'll appeal to more people than 40K fans they'll drop it.

Which is stupid. Appealing to the fans is why it got to where it was. Nerds/geeks spread it to others and why it had the audience it had. You never know what audience you'll find if you don't make good product

For folks new to the various Stargate tv series , SG1 and Atlantis are awesome (SG1 is best for the characters, despite the glossy high tech of Atlantis)
Please dont watch Universe, that spin off series stopped at one series and rightly so!

I think the only way to bring back those shows is as comic books or even better motion comics. Since both forms are pretty cheap to produce they can avoid the eye of Sauron (Amazon exec in Stargate case). Plus smaller teams less chance of activists infiltration.

I am not talking about there superheroes series here (which are totally corrupted).
They have other comic series which even these days have produced comics with proper storylines & characters.
Beside there are other publishers for ex. European ones.

Its what everyone suspected and with amazon video having very little good will or credibility in making good shows its an easy claim to make.
Its amazing how much Rings of Power has hurt them and how little they seem to care.

I have not seen a single episode in any of the series and have only seen the film a number of times. I'm told this indicates a deficiency in character and I need remedy my negligence (basically, the wife went on a Stargate series binge in the recent past and ultimately is a champion of the shows). As such, this news (the cessation of development of the new series) is extremely disappointing.
Our weekend breakfast discussion usually morphed into a, 'What happened during the last five episodes of Stargate?"-bit. I should probably make a podcast out of it. My wife relays the plots to me as best she can and I ask stupid questions/make jokes. Fun is had by all. Point is: I have a general idea as to where SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe took the basic story of the movie and I was really looking forward to seeing a continuation - with a significant budget. This new show was never pitched as a reboot, but a continuation, right?
I think Apple TV should tease Amazon publicly. I'm not sure who heads the former, but this person (persons) is (are) obviously willing to spend tons of money for great programming, viewership be damned. Foundation has not been cancelled - imagine that.
Make Bezos feel like a punk. This will trickle down to whoever is running things, content-wise over there. Maybe Amazon reconsiders. Get Musk on this, as well. Not sure if he's a Stargate fan, but: "Hey Jeff - stop blowing up rockets and spend the money on something people actually want to see," is a tweet/x-post/whatever I think should happen.
We could have gotten another Stargate series. Instead, we get Rings of Power (money "well-spent;" no, that's not right...money, well, "spent") and:

Stargate would have been better if they kept them tiddies.
Atlantis would have been way better if they went full Spartacus style, and had Jason Momoa railing the commander lady like Dany in Game of Thrones.
Ultimately the SG-1 creators didn't have the vision. The lore isn't that great, and only got worse the more they added to it. The original Stargate movie wins on vibes. So I'm not that upset that this isn't going anywhere even if maybe they're based.
Asking for more Stargate from those dudes after Universe is like trying to get Berman and Braga back after binging Voyager and Enterprise.

Bezos bought the WSJ and purged it of the most woke elements.
Yet he lets the DEI brigade run rampant at Prime Video.

I ... What's woke/DEI on Prime Video? I don't see half-head shaved lesbian leftists lecturing men on how they're always wrong and should bow down to them. I think you're imagining crap just to be mad about something.
