You left out the Furlings.

I would love to see Earth finally “in the know” and be advanced like in episode “2010” where the Aschen have provided lots of technology to Earth. But this time around, Earth has naturally advanced. It would be ridiculous in this day and age to still be hiding everything from the public, or even be able to hide it.

A soft reset is probably the only way it would work.

They could pass it off as a war between the Lucian Alliance and Earth, plus the war with the Wraith, causing a fleet of 10-12 international ships to dwindle to 2-3 dedicated to protecting Earth and one in Pegasus.

Destiny could be out of contact still, giving them a possible storyline for later, and simplifying the open threadlines to start with.

Atlantis being back in Pegasus and occupied fighting the Wraith and Genii remnants could give them another way to put a plotline to the back burner.

They could do a complete reset that turns out to be an alternative universe so it’s not a reset at all. A universe in which humanity exists as it does today, but with a whole new set of villians due to divergent history. What if the ancients hadn’t been peaceful? Instead of joining the the Asgard and Furlings in an alliance they went their own way. They wiped out the goauld and then because of the genocide were attacked by the other alliance members and all involved ended up decimating each other. You would still have Stargates, but the familiar… Read more »

Orrr, what if it’s set in a universe where the StarGate series was an attempt to ‘soften’ the coming news with some fun storylines that had almost nothing to do with reality? They’ve found a StarGate and got it to work, but all the rest was entertaining fiction?

Yeah I really dislike the “Ancients are evil” idea. I see the Ancients as a logical ’cause and effect’ kind of people. The Goa’uld weren’t a huge galaxy controlling threat when the Ancients were present either, so who knows how they’d react to the current Goa’uld, or if the Goa’uld would be as aggressive as they are now with the Ancients. The Ancients did try to subdue/destroy the Wraith, so who knows.

I do think an alternate reality is a eecent idea, maybe one where the Ancients won the war with the Wraith, but ascended anyways. Idk…

I don’t know why but I always thought N.I.D. stood for “National Intelligence Directorate”.

I always wondered what the ancients did with their ships. I can’t imagine all were destroyed in battle, or that some weren’t brought back to milky way. Finding an actual cache of ancient ships could be a cool way to jump start a new series.

Wasn’t some of this addressed in the comic books? I thought those were canon.

Telchak’s device could have been used to supply the Wraith with energy without the need for feeding on humans or changing their physiology. A Goa’uld could have taken a Wraith Queen as a host. There are many opportunities for stories.

The SGA and SGU comics continue the stories where the two shows ended. They have been in print for the past couple of years. They have continued the series with the story lines as they were when the last episode aired.

Also, MGM will never do anything with the property. They don’t have the resources . If they did, they wouldn’t be wasting this IP. A big player, ie amazon, would need to swoop in and take control and green light multiple projects.

While it’s mot as important in the grand scheme of things, I’d love even a murmur of Janet Fraiser and the emotions surrounding her loss. After Heroes 2, she was never even mentioned in passing, and I felt that lessened her alleged sacrifice. If I’d were to shoot for the moon, bring her back from some alternate reality. Jmho

Much like I had wanted to happen with the new trilogy of Star Wars films, I’d love for the old guard to either be set up in supporting roles, or killed off early to portray the gravity of a new threat. Let Atlantis leave a part of itself on the moon as the moon base, keeping the SG program away from social media backed prying eyes. Have this new threat, (maybe the baddies Sheppard ran into in one of the alt reality episodes in the mech type suits?) find Destiny & learn of the Milky Way & Pegasus Galaxies… they… Read more »

With all these in un-answered questions, I think maybe a new series that encompasses all 3 shows would be great! Not just a series dedicated to just one show. One week it could be an episode of SGA, the next it could be SGU, or SG1.

Problem with Stargate, well, one among many, is that it can’t really jump on the timeline, going forward in the future or in the past, would go against the nature of the show (mostly because of production value) and what makes Stargate Stargate, really is the cast and crew. So, the only way NOT to reboot the franchise would be to compose with either the actors who are still available after all this time, or assume the whole new cast and characters, while remaining in the past story-wise, always coming back on why the asgards are gone, and who these… Read more »

I know it sounds a little bit much especially since the show hasn’t been on for years but what if they did one show that covered Sg1, Atlantis, and SgU? If Travellers is really cancelled it’s not like Brad would be to busy and he has the knowledge of all 3 show’s. It seems like MgM wants to do something with Stargate but just hasn’t figured out what direction to go in. Doing a single show that brings all 3 of the previous together would instantly give them a fan base and ratings.

Game of Thrones style would work but that means you still need some Lead Actors… but game of thrones didn’t have many B List actors except for Sean Bean. I mean every one of them was either at the beginning of their careere or had some movies but where pretty much unknown so they haven’t paid big salaries imo at least for the few seasons. Afterwards, another story.

I’m still holding out hope that MGM come to their senses and bring SGU back with a 3rd season, it was a great show with a cast that really sold it.

The continuation in the comics was a real let down and the problems the crew were facing weren’t really solved in a satisfying way – the TV show struggled with destiny’s problems for two years but the comics magically had everything fixed with the first couple of episodes.

If comics would have continued i would at least have some sort of pleasure to read a continuation… but sgu comic let me down cause it ended like in a fairy tale… “lived happily ever after” -ish story.

The best idea will be a full show high budget to reunite all 3 stories and crews from sg1/ atlantis |& universe and to have as main arc FURLINGS

Furlings, Nox… In my opinion, if they would ask or want to talk with the Nox about trying to save the SGU crew, not ask them for weapons or technology just save them… to be fair, i dont think they can, neither furlings. Ancients as every source say, was the most advanced race in the entire series, except for that structure in the beginning of time from SGU, you know, the planet creators. As ancients did many techs, creating a planet from the scratch in a matter of a few thousand years… is quite the feat. That is why i… Read more »

1. You could make episodes based on that, Maybe even return the Legacy ship to the Asgards in Pegasus. Maybe some sort of neutrals like Tok’ra/Tollans was on SG1 but in a Atlantis series or including them? 2. You could make it possible as the new Command Center, on the dark side of the moon. 3.Atlantis second return to Pegasus may be possible and maybe now that the wraith have been dealt with maybe we will see the asgards in Pegasus, would not mind if they where the enemy now but i suppose they would be formidable or too formidable.… Read more »

Know the SGU comics aren’t actual canon but if I was MGM I would the route of X-Files an do the SGU comics in a six episodes arc and if they were successful do another season with ether 7 to 10 episodes. Cause now I think of it wouldn’t the ancients have more sleeping pads on destiny like tons of more cause if so why didn’t Rush Young an Eli find the am before.an here’s a twist if there are more pads instead of what we see in the comics we find scientists in those undiscovered pads about 5 of… Read more »

I’m much more interested in where all the SG-1 characters are today. Cassandra must be hanging around the SGC, for example.

I hope that new series will not cheap as Stargate origins and will not reboot as star trek discovery. I want canon series as SG-1 and Atlantis.

It’s my understanding from what I’ve read, that Wright wanted to take a different route than the show. His plan is to do a direct sequel to the first movie, or possibly reboot the first movie, and THEN do 2 follow ups for a trilogy. I have heard nothing about a new show.

-JUST KEEP WITHIN THE SAME CANON AND TIMELINE
(of SG-1 & Atlantis)

-BRING AS MANY OF THE OLD SG-1 & ATLANTIS CAST
(as regular or reoccurring ) AS POSSIBLE

-FORGET the Damned Dark Bismal Depressing
BATTLE STAR (SGU) or STAR TREK DISCOVERY or GAME OF THRONES or POST APOCLYPTIC NONESENSE STYLE OF STORYTELLING
LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES THAT WERE MADE

THOS OTHER STYLES WONT MIX WITH STARGATE’S CORE DNA

-STARGATE IS ABOUT:
EXPLORATION
FUN
RELATION WITH OTHER RACES
ACTION
HISTORY
COOL TECHNOLOGY

Darren,

How should I reach out to Brad Wright/MGM with a Stargate project concept that could address virtually all of the points you raise in your article: “Past Prologue: Five Questions A New Stargate Show Needs To Answer”.

I completely agree with your “OPINION: If the next Stargate project is going to stick to the existing canon, long-time viewers are going to need some answers.”

Of course, this is a long shot and I’d want to protect my interests too.

In advance, thank you!
