The new Quantum Leap was terrible and most of the new Star Trek shows were equally as bad. Maybe this is a good thing.

Hopefully we hit that mythical "hollywood level audio/video" AI before too much longer and really creative people can run pirate series.

If you haven't seen Stargate SG-1, it was one of the greatest shows. I would rather rewatch it than watch a bad remake. Stargate Atlantis was not half bad either.

They will likely hire the cheapest script writer, who in turn will likely offload it to the cheapest LLM, resulting in derivative work that is not in any way creative or inspiring.

Yea I watched stargate SG-1 and can confirm that plenty of media released post covid is not only half as great, but a good deal better.

> the studio were concerned that Gero’s take on the series “would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.” This is a key component in reviving a legacy IP

It was popular because of who? The fans! No one needed the Disney-ization of Stargate. This is probably a good thing.

When I first heard about the reboot all I could think of was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HeNZBItzps

I'm going to call this news a win.

"modern wokeness", ah, yes. Because the show about religion as a means of control, that featured strong women throughout, was broadly about how colonialism is bad and the importance of respecting different cultures, that brute force was almost never the 'right answer' is anti-woke.
