    The showrunner worked on all three of the TV series so as long as he doesn’t try something like rebooting SGU it might be good.

    But if it starts with a drastically older Robert Carlyle defrosting I’m only giving it two episodes.

      The one actor who I most want to reprise their role is Michael Welch as Jack

        I want Richard Dean Anderson to at least get a cameo. I know he basically quit acting, but he was such a huge part of Stargate that they should find some one-episode thing for him just to acknowledge his role in the series.

          Sorry he quit acting, so the best we can do is give you Will Forte.

            Will Forte would be fun too, in the right role.

            But, I wouldn’t be surprised of RDA could be convinced to do a cameo role. He still does convention events, so it’s not like he just wants to forget his career or something. A cameo might be more like a convention event. Just show up for a day, do a bit of fan service, and go home with a big pile of money. I actually bet the atmosphere on set would be a bit like a convention anyhow. I would bet that a lot of people involved with a new Stargate show are admirers of his, and would want to just get a selfie with him.

            If he took up a recurring role it might become like a job again, but for a one-day shoot it would probably be more like something fun.
