TV by the Numbers:  Are Angry ‘Stargate: SG1/Atlantis’ Fans Partly To Blame For Lousy ‘Stargate: Universe’ Ratings?

I love his take on it, which is summed up by saying "Executive producers and show creators can (and do) play 'Fan Excuse Bingo' too" then uses the latest Brad Wright Quote of Gold, then adds, "Bingo!" The comments are interesting,

Cooper sort of slunk off into the night. I got the impression it was the writer's producer's pool was getting too full, and his focus was on the SG-1 movies, IIRC. I guess he's been off the canvas long enough and his ex-cohorts are still spewing, so he's sort of forgotten.

I don't know that the original creator would be willing to recreate the universe for TV. I think he was really hurt when the rights were essentially stolen from him back in the day (especially since Daniel was sort of his own Marty Stu). I know he's said he'd planned on other movies after Stargate, but I don't think they wouldn't be directly related, it would be an all-new cast of characters and plotline.

I'm OK with it going away. What I liked about the shows has been missing for quite a while anyway, so it wouldn't be a huge loss. Though if it rested for a couple of years and some new people came in with some new ideas -- not completely "rebooting" just some new stories -- there could be potential.

Though I think it would be a completely new cast, or existing characters would just be guest stars, just based on the time passed. Amanda Tapping would probably show up, because I think she must have pictures of a SyFy exec with a goat to get all the extra attention she has. This isn't a slam against her work, it's just that there are other women who could do some great work in sci fi, but she seems to be the SyFy go-to girl, such as being given the role of narrator for the redo of the Riese web series. I'd like to see some other women given the chance she once was.
