I hope they come back with something more optimistic and upbeat than the needlessly edgy SG:U. I get that drama and conflict are needed, but a main cast that's constantly fighting gets tiresome really quickly.

A another style, I enjoyed the lore. We learn more about the ancient and others events.

The thing is... the original series was incredibly melodramatic. There was a constant uptick in drama... but often in a very tongue-in-cheek way. There was no acknowledgment of the ridiculousness of the premise in SG:U, if they took themselves less seriously (and had less high school level drama) it might have been a better show. Unfortunately that wasn't the algorithm at the time :(

Sadly, I don't think it's the current algorithm now either, so this new show still won't have the feel of the original series or Atlantis.

SG:U was tapping into BSG’s teenage drama in space.

So look to what current sci-fi shows are popular to see what they’ll shamelessly copy instead.

They had better not decide that discovery is popular.

I’ll take Disco over the upcoming fash-trek universe

And they'll cancel it after a cliffhanger

Will the gate be spinning? Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.

I’m glad that it’s helmed by someone who’s worked extensively on the original shows. Hopefully it won’t suck too much.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 hours ago

Hmmm.. It is always a crap shoot with Amazon, but I will check this out.

[–] mtpender@piefed.social 6 points 10 hours ago

"NO! GOD NO! PLEASE GOD NO!"

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Another show for amazon to cancel

Let us start our fan mantra: please don’t suck. Please don’t suck. Please don’t suck.

Is Amanda Tapping joining?

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 8 points 11 hours ago

I hope she's on board at least as a producer or maybe a cameo. She's got some solid production/directing chops, so it could be incredibly beneficial to have her on.

The main thing that Stargate did well imo is how they blended religions and conspiracy theories into their world. I wonder what there is to explore in that regard

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

First contact and associated coverups are hot right now. Have they covered that already?

[–] misk@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago
[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

That took long enough. Wonder if it will stream on Amazon, or MGM+.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 10 points 11 hours ago

Who cares? Don't give Bezos more money, pirate it.

[–] scoste@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

The article says it will stream on Prime Video

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You say it's on Streamio? Nice

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I'm hoping for a simultaneous release on jellifin.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Interesting, considering it’s an MGM property. Makes me wonder if that channel will simply be absorbed into Prime like Freevee was.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 9 hours ago

Not interested in this American military propaganda tv show.
