It was already a dead franchise. Worst case it'll stay that way. But I'm not without hope, as not all Amazon adaptations are bad, e.g. The Expanse or The Boys.
On the other hand I don't know how to feel about Emmerich being involved. I think he always disliked the direction the series took after his (very different and IMO inferior) movie.
Imo, the expanse was excellent partly because of casting and the fact that the authors were so involved with it. Also, had what like 3 seasons before it hit Amazon? I still wish we got to see an adaptation of the final 3 books but I'm still glad we got what we did, definitely up there for me both tv and book wise.
There is still hope we will get the last three one day. Maybe we just have to wait a couple decades to let the time lines match up better.
Fallout was excellent!
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for nuclear winter. (Hope season two will be good)
Fysa, The Expanse is getting a game.
Owlcat, the same folks that did the excellent Rogue Trader, are running with it.
The theme song is epic.
SG-1 was great and dwindling towards the end. They ended there to at least stop when they were goo. You could see the effects of modern hollywood creeping in those last 2 seasons. Atlantis was already embracing modern hollywood, and Universe was the death knell to the franchise.
They should've left it dead. Now they're going to try and raise a zombie, put make-up and lipstick on it, then kill it so that newer generations can remember Stargate as "oh, that shitty series?".
*Aluminium hat on*
They are reintroducing it to try and capitalise on the "it was aliens" meme. They are hoping to get a lot of viewership from the fringe and conspiracy theorists that will truly believe the pyramids were landing platforms for alien motherships.
Not just Emmerich, but Devlin as well. I'm worried about this. They tried to reboot the movies in 2014 and pitched a TV show in 2019. They're both on the record as being salty about SG-1, and I understand why they were salty about it but it's well beyond them now and after all these years, they're gonna come in totally play ball, just like that? And this while Malozzi and Wright are "consulting producers," meaning they give money to the production to get their names on it but they will be largely ignored. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm worried.
