Why is Stargate still dormant? (lemmy.zip)

With Star Trek thriving in its renaissance, what's holding Stargate back from its own rebirth?

Is fan interest too low, or are tangled rights keeping the gate shut, as it were?

The obvious answer is reboot. Edit: to be clear I mean their answer is reboot, not mine.

fuck no. Not everything needs rebooting. If they don't want to continue the series that's one thing, but I don't want a darker, slower, mumblier, grittier reboot, that tries to teach me a lesson after each episode, that will probably make Teal'c into a famous stand-up comedian to subvert fan expectations for a familiar yet fresh feel.

Reboots are usually depressing af

A choice which also has many downsides.

It just seems really difficult to envision a way to put Stargate back on TV that isn't somewhere between underwhelming to full on disaster.
