It's easy to bring back the goold (rip gen hammond) especially after 30 years has passed. Just do something similar to star trek when they rebooted/reintroduced the romulans for tng. "No one has heard from them for decades, turns out they have been in their own little corner of space rebuilding and are now back and trying to reconquer their empire". You can nerf humans by pointing out that all the salvaged tech we acquired has started to break down because we are still morons and couldn't properly maintain it let alone expand on it, and infighting between nations has assured there is no planet wide effort. Or they could just explain that the jeets h1b'd the program and sent us back to the stone age. I jest... amazon would never be so based. Same deal with the Jaffa though, they descended into conflict which weakened them and opened the door for the goold to come roaring back as the baddies. Some even go back to serving/worshiping their former masters where at least they had status and power. Kind of like russianiggers idolozing stalin these days even though he killed 20 million of them because at least russia was stronk back then.

The only deal breakers are that humans have to be nerfed by about 90% and go back to being afraid of the technological superior races that exist in the galaxy, and the jaffa have to have failed in their nation building. The ori are gone asgard are gone, so there is no one left to fight whatever the new baddies end up being besides earth.

I dunno. Seems to violate one of the basic premises of the show; Earth scientists are really good at building new tech.

What is Earth's general weaknesses in the old show is power projection and strategic depth, which is why spec ops teams were 95% of operations and it'd still apply today. Prometheus alone was massive hidden budget expenditure for the US, so it should follow that Earth should only have one X-303-tier ship per superpower nation (so really three in total), which makes them white elephants and locks them (mostly) in Sol. Likewise, SG teams were the only kind of power projection Earth actually had, but they only have the resources of one planet (and later one solar system), which is not enough to bail out the Jaffa Council. Earth, post System Lord era, is analogous to Switzerland where it's a prosperous state with a lot of soft power, but has low military strength overall.

The Jaffa Council, on the other hand, would definitely fall apart because they're still Bronze-age peasants that continue to use natural numbers for all their mathematics. Remember when SG-1 had trouble disarming a bomb because they realized the G'ouald don't have the number zero programmed in it? Pretty sure Jaffa education is insufficient to running a modern society. The threat from them isn't that they have better technology than Earth, but that they have practically unlimited motherships and soldiers.
 
It's not what Amazon would make, but there probably could have been an interesting way to re-work the SG: Origins premise of a 1930s - 1940s prequel.
 
That is a fair point dragon. But just imagine if you gave an f22 to say england during the age of sail. I'm sure you could teach them to fly it and operate it, and even maintain it... for a while. But if you disappeared a few years after giving it to them even if you left a manual and instructions eventually they would run into longer term problems that they don't have the knowledge of infrastructure to fix. That said you are right the big problem is something like the prometheus, even with gifted tech, should have still cost like 30 trillion dollars to make. The fact that they were just shit out every year or two by the end is a non fixable problem.

I'm fine with them retconning that aspect tbh.

Maybe do Space Manifest Destiny.

That is honestly pretty interesting, considering the Goa'uld operated on the same basis, only they pretended to be gods.

It's also still divided politically. It's not like in Star Trek where Earth was post-scarcity.

Maybe explain how the second Stargate got lost in the arctic?

Maybe they'll just come up with a new Atlantis gimmick. For whatever highly valuable reason, send people on a supposed one way trip to a different galaxy again.

They should put a Stargate in one of a F-304 hangar and explore the galaxy. A safer "we have the Destiny at home" kind of show with as much if not more focus on science-fiction concepts.

The Lucian Alliance would fully conquer major parts of the jaffa population and turn them back into slaves. I am fully expecting space wakanda in the new series and somehow the jaffa will be more advanced than Earth.

I doubt that the Lucian Alliance is gone. While we saw in SGU that they tried to fucking nuke the Pentagon, I bet they could use a more discrete approach by infiltrating a society to take over several planets without a fight.
As for the Jaffa, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them lose "faith" in politics and start missing the time when they were slaves.

Gateworld is having an interview with the new showrunner. I don't have much hope but maybe he can spin it in a better light. The stargate fandom was small enough to not get colonized and is actually quite vocal about the nonsense pushed by amazon and such.

Look at his IMDB and despair. Showrunner for the horribly pozzed Quantum Leap and Kung-Fu reboots and the god-awful Blindspot, absolutely nothing of any quality.

That would work, except that the Asgard gave us their entire collective knowledge and history with an integrated magic bullshit 3D printer lol.

He started his career on Atlantis if I'm not mistaken. After he left, he wrote (and directed?) a very edgy movie for Showtime or HBO.

They really made the Asgard go full retard. I would have loved to see them fix their cloning technology so they could get back to their "normal" bodies (as shown in season 3 or 4), instead they anheroed because it's so hard to fight the Ori.

There were so many solutions they could have explored, but it was the last episode and they gave up.

I think they were trying to show that humanity had grown and didn't need a guardian anymore. A better solution would have been cure them and go into partnership with the Asgard as the old mentor. Instead they gave us all their stuff to prevent plot holes and then blew themselves up like a cartoon.


I went on a hunt to see what the new show runner wrote and he is credited with "The Lost Tribe" which is an all around good episode even with the lack of asgard screen time. Then i made the mistake if clicking on Jewel Staite. There was nothing wrong with her face.

Ya not a fan of what she's done with her face, she seems to have lost that cute girl next door look. Amanda Tapping on the other hand seems to have avoided the surgery, ozempic and whatnot.

The only thing she's done to her face is shovel cocaine into it. Her nose is starting to collapse.
