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?

    It sounds like a Stargate reboot — or more of a revival, a continuation of the original — is now closer than ever to happening at Amazon, reportedly due to the exit of Jennifer Salke, who blocked its development and kept it from moving forward.

    Sounds like an Amazon exec wasn’t a fan

    Pretty sad that’s all it takes and the IP is held hostage away from the fans

      Up to 1978 it was a 14 year term, and you can apply for a second 14 year term.

      28 years after you created an IP, it was open season. The first SG-1 episode was 1997 btw, 28 years ago.

      Now it’s the authors entire life plus 70 more years.

      We need to start fixing the shit the boomers broke instead of just accepting it because we weren’t alive when it made sense.

      Did they check her for a symbiote? Maybe she was Goa’uld.
