Who would you cast for a Stargate SG-1 reboot or remake?

I brought this up in other thread but I wanted a whole thread about it. My choices were:

1 O'Neil=Justin Hartley. Younger but he as that kind of smirky but also likeable and funny vibe to him.

2 Carter=Rashida Jones. I think she could play both smart and funny. Important things for Carter and any show that would want to come close to capturing the spirit of the old show.

3 Daniel Jackson: Alan Tudyk. Once again funny being important. Plus he has less traditional good looks than Spader and Shanks which would be a nice spin.

4Tea'c=The big guy who played a dragon on last season of "Agents of Shield." Has the look of a warrior.

5 General Hammond: Avery Brooks. A man who commands respect and also someone I would buy as a career military man though I know they are in the Air Force and not Army.

I don't see the appeal in this, part of what made these characters work, was the actors, and with the set up for the franchise there is no reason they couldn't just do a fourth new series.
 
I could see that, the adventures of a "modern day SG-1." Basically follow the adventures of the current SG-1 team, which consists of new characters. But with the show in continuity with the other Stargate shows, you can still have characters from the other shows make appearances. Hell, maybe someone like Carter's made General by now and is commanding the SGC.
 
A new cast for "the four" who go thru the stargate every week.
New blood, new stories. I'm good with all of that.

But if Stargate Command isn't run by General Samantha Carter it will never be valid in my eyes.

Just let it be. We don’t need reboots and remakes of everything.

So you think SG-1 should have never existed? The "We don't need reboots" attitude feels a bit out of place here.

O'Neil: Sebastian Stan
Carter: Ginnifer Goodwin
Jackson: William Jackson Harper
Teal'c: Ludi Lin
Hammond: Margo Martindale
 
The TV series was more or less a semi-reboot of the movie, so it's already been rebooted once.

What does this mean?? The Air Force is military. It's officers command just as much respect as Army officers.

SG-1 was an enjoyable soft reboot of the movie. I’m getting a little tired of reboots. If they wanted to continue the Stargate series, there is no reason they couldn’t continue with another sequel. But a reboot seems a little pointless. I don’t see the issue with having that opinion.
 
SG1 is a show driven by the chemistry of the ensemble. If they did a reboot I’d hope they’d build new characters from scratch.

The trouble with a sequel is they introduced so much tech into the universe they can’t bring back the flavor of ground battles with machine guns and staves.

Walking around with no vehicles (Hell even a Jeep) and with kevlar waring soldiers armed with machineguns made little sense. I will never understand why they NEVER just drove a friggin' Jeep through the gate and effectively walked everywhere on any world.

Yes, the Jaffa armor and staves would work well against a primitive society; but once you have a group walking through against mechanized Tanks and Armor (for example) - they'd be mowed down fast.

And yeah, I know they had episodes that showed the System Lords invading from space with higher tech weapons - and I thought that was done/shown okay; but the majority of episodes had system load ground facilities often guarded by a whole 20 or so Jaffa and our heroes wading through them like swiss cheese. ;)

You'd think BOTH sides would have armed ground transport that they'd take through a gate from time to time, but, no.

I always thought it was something more than military, or other than military. Not matching our current definition of military. But of course, Gene said it isn't military, so-

Oh. Oh, shit. You said Air Force, not Starfleet. That's embarrassing. I'll just, recede back into the woodwork now.
 
If anything happens with Stargate in the near future I imagine it will be a theatrical release and a sequel to the original movie, perhaps with Kurt Russell now playing a General O'Neil. I'd also expect a new team of international characters going back through the stargate for whatever reason (gotta chase that Chinese box office).

Sure, you can poke holes in the strategy. But now they have warp drive, transporters and zero point modules. The only way to make them the underdog is to make the enemy overpowered enough to trivialize the drama.

One of the things that made early SG1 effective was they were making do with modern technology against enemies who could be plausibly beat with it.
