I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead.
If they want to reboot a show for the third time, why not V considering the first reboot was so disappointing? Or maybe go for the 90s nostalgia and reboot SeaQuest DSV or Earth 2.
And then there’s all the Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy properties they have at least some stake of ownership in.
I realize asking for something original is asking too much these days, but can’t we at least do something other than Battlestar Galactica every 20 years?
I’m willing to be open-minded and give the show a chance if it gets produced, but I don’t think it should be produced in the first place.
Reboot of Stargate? Sir, drop your keyboard on the ground and put your hands above your head! Nobody has to get hurt!
The thing with Stargate is that even the TV series (which IMO is more canon than the movie) was effectively a reboot. And, the TV series had so many spin-offs that it would be perfectly fair to have yet another spin-off with a fresh take. I’m not saying they should go back and have someone other than MacGyver play Jack O’Neil. But, they could make a fresh new Stargate Universe (ahem) and start fresh.
