"Science fiction is an existential metaphor. It allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said:
Individual science fiction stories may seem
as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and
philosophers of today, but the core of science-
fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our
salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
-- Anders quoting Asimov, Stargate SG-1, S10E06 "200"
This is Stargate. Only the original showrunners understand that this is what Stargate has always meant to us. They need time to hand the baton off to the new generation of writers and up-and-coming showrunners to continue the Stargate legacy.
Hiring someone who has no idea what Stargate is will only manage to add it to the growing banality of "science fiction" television that is being produced. We simply have no desire to watch something dumbed down. We are an intelligent audience that understands nuance and we deserve something that treats us as such.
You wouldn't write sequels to beloved books passed down throughout the generations without the original author involved in mentoring the next generation to continue the legacy. Anything else is fan fiction.

A few days ago, at an event where a full size #Stargate was presented. Richard Dean Anderson was there too and it was full of many different people coming just for this.
The fanbase is made of different generations.
The original recipe works don't give that up @AmazonMGMStudio

@BaronDestructo Love it ! The twists, the turns, the incorporation of both sci-fi AND fantasy, absolutely riveting! And that Twister line caught me so off guard that I barked 😉 out a loud laugh. Please give your hard working actor a scritch and/or belly rub of appreciation from me his fan!
Fans are starting to get organized. @GateWorld & @dial_the_gate will help lead the charge.
Standby, Stargate family. A massive, massive #SaveStargate campaign is about to get underway.
Only Walt Disney can get away with pretending his Grandma animatronic is real while rolling her around and carrying her onto a plane. 👵 Here he is bringing the figure to the 1964 World Fair!!🌎
@BaronDestructo Look, Seven is great, but Maybourne has unique talents that are invaluable when put to use on the side of good. I have to vote Maybourne.
Fans do NOT want a new Stargate series if the legends who made Stargate aren't involved.
Everyone needs to know that Amazon reportedly still wants to make Stargate, just WITHOUT the writers and producers who spent decades faithfully building and expanding the franchise.
Fans were actually excited to see what Martin, Brad, Joe were making because they've proven for decades that they understand how to foster and tell new Stargate stories.
LET THE PEOPLE WHO MADE STARGATE KEEP MAKING STARGATE! @AmazonMGMStudio@PrimeVideo #Stargate
