Excited for the Stargate remake?

I loved sg1 and Atlantis, though I found universe to be mostly disappointing, attempting to mimic battle star galactica but losing most of its humor and charm in the process. I was admittedly curious about where the story was going, but I wasn't surprised it was cancelled.

In retrospect I'd wager over 50% of sg1 episodes involved them getting captured and having to escape, so the writing wasn't exactly brilliant in that regard... But the characters were so funny and had such great chemistry that you just enjoyed the ride. Atlantis achieved this as well, and I suspect that's one of the reasons universe failed... The writing was frequently cheesy and those character interactions on the side were often about as interesting as a baked potato, but in the end most of the characters just weren't that likeable.

Anyway, I loved the world that franchise built, and really have zero interest in a "reimagining" trilogy.

I liked Universe, it was something different from the other Stargate shows. And I don't really think the characters were supposed to be likeable. The only onles I liked were Eli, the young scientist because they made him likeable and also because he was the more normal of them all, and despite his incompetence as a commander, the Colonel. The rest lacked any personality, were annoying or, like Robert Carlyle's role, a son of a b*tch.

But the isolation, the unknown of what could happen after the next jump, the fight for surviving, etc. made it interesting. At least the ending left it open without an infuriating cliffhanger.
