"And those poor bastards on Destiny were never heard from again."
New StarGate series Prime Video.

Them going the BSG route is to me what cancelled the show.. SG1, Atlantis Campy fun actions. Universe, BSG Glume and doom. It didn't work.
Also..
"Somehow the Destiny crew got back home"
There solved it.
I will accept this only if O'Neill says the line.
Followed by Teal'Q adding, "Indeed."
One thing that will make me turn off the show and never watch it is to have original cast members return in the first episode only to have them killed off so I new team can take over. I would be cool with a new cast and new team or with some original members returning in cameos though.
A thought has occurred to me, though to start with I'm working off the assumption this show will premiere in 2027 based on the fact there's usually a year and a half to two years between these kind of shows being announced and premiering. Anyway, assuming a 2027 premiere, that will mean this show will be premiering sixteen years after the franchise's retirement if you will with the end of SGU. Sixteen years is also the length of Doctor Who's "Wilderness Years" the period between the show "going on hiatus" with the end of Sylvester McCoy's run in 1989 and the show's revival with Christopher Eccleston in 2005. To further this parallel, Stargate had a brief respite from with the release of Stargate Origins in 2018, seven years into the franchise's period of dormancy, just as Doctor Who had the 1996 TV movie seven years into the Wilderness Years.
Granted, Stargate doesn't have a steady run of novels, comics and audio dramas keeping the flame lit during this era like Doctor Who had.

There was a pretty active line of novels from Fandemonium in the UK, published pretty steadily from 2004-2019. So the "keeping the flame lit" era lasted for about 8 years.
Just because of what you said, I thought it might get canceled after the first few seasons. Of course, if they see it as a valuable intellectual property for television, they could keep it going. But of course, I think it would depend on how high the viewership is.

I agree, I am tired of bringing back characters only to kill them off. If a previous lead is getting up there, has health issues and it's just becoming too difficult to even do much more cameos, then kill the character off; either by murder or simply the character passing away peacefully.
I could work with either. People die especially in the armed services.
Is 'Wanker" really that bad of an insult across the Pond?
What makes you say that? If we continue to follow the Doctor Who parallels then that means we should get at least another 15 seasons, and 4 more spin-offs.
There was also a comics publisher that did series of comics that continued the stories of Atlantis and Universe after the TV series a few years ago.
Generally speaking, I hate murdering old leads (or having them die randomly, such as in a plane crash). Just let them move on, retire, or pass on from old age (or heroically). Most of the time. Uglier ends should only happen when they’re thematically appropriate.
So there's a comic book resolving the series which we had assumed was as official as we were ever going get... But this is what ANGERED ME... Eli lost two hundred pounds in three pages.
Funny enough David lost the weight in real life and looks like a snack.
You're comparing this to pre-broadcast TV. Doctor Who returned in 2005. It's been on air for 15 seasons since then, The classic series has a large UK fanbase, 'Throughout' the 16-year hiatus, the BBC has nurtured its fans with books, comics, and audio commentaries. Furthermore, the first seasons of modern series are produced on a small television budget. Putting aside international sales in broadcasting, a US or UK series only needs a strong US or UK audience, while a digital release requires a strong global audience. Indeed, the TV series that concluded that run was canceled 16 years ago. It's also possible that a sequel wouldn't attract as many viewers as expected. Furthermore, while Stargate is a beloved series, it's a niche series, and while it's as popular as Star Trek, I don't think it has as large a fanbase. In fact, I don't think it'll even get as many repeat viewings as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, which were popular in the 90s and 2000s. But if Amazon chooses a good script and cast that quickly becomes a teen hit like their other series, why not? I think they'll keep a few returning cast members, bring back other veterans for a few guest appearances, create a brand new series with a new main cast, and produce one or more series worth $100 million, each with five seasons, eight episodes, and a biannual run.
I think you misunderstood, I just was making joke about the fact that he was the comparing the Stargate situation to what happened with Doctor Who. I wasn't actually saying I expect all of that to happen.
