It's been two years since Amazon bought MGM. These factors likely have kept Stargate off the announcement slate.

Man, I don't even want a new Stargate series. All of the franchise reboots lately have been massive letdowns at best.
- Star Trek is doing really well
  
  That's very debatable.
  
  I'm sure it does. How's season 3 of Picard?
  
  Hard disagree
- SGU already let me down
  
  I loved it and really hoped it was going to come back with that time jump they predicted in plot.
  
  I grew to like it. I saw the potential for story growth during the second season.
  
  I hated SGU, for all the same reasons I hated Battlestar Galactica except louder.
  
  SyFy had a hit show whose tone was hovering somewhere around "Everything is terrible, you should kill yourself." And where do you go from there? How do you top that? Apparently by heading toward "Everything is more terrible, you should murder your family then kill yourself."
  
  So I cancelled my cable subscription and started playing video games about factories.
I want a series that takes place after the gate is announced to the world and the resulting chaos is settled. With focus split between new discoveries, off world immigration, and flashbacks that tell the story of how the gate changed society.

Maybe add a criminal element of smugglers using an off books gate and men in black like group chasing down unregistered off workers and smuggled goods on earth.
Man, an animated series a la Clone Wars about the origins of the Jaffa with Christopher Judge could be epic.
- I want an origin series about the Asguards first contacts with earth, and the rise of Viking lore
- Indeed.
- Or something more comedic along the lines of Lower Decks, maybe from the POV from some System Lord Grunt?
  
  Call it "The Setesh Guards"
Wright and Cooper are just waiting for someone to touch the long range communication stones again.
- I mean they had a whole parallel universe that got destroyed. I don't understand why they aren't leveraging that angle and pulling a Stargate/Fringe style situation where the Goa'Uld (or some other baddie) are attacking from the unknown or whatever.
It doesn't have to be perfect, I still watch all of trek even if some series aren't as fun to me as others.

It's a huge universe with unlimited stories. Find some likeable characters and let them save the day. I don't need a "perfect show".
