Stargate is definitely one of my favorite sci-fi TV series (all the them, even early-canceled Universe), right up there with Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. I even re-watch all 17 seasons every couple of years.
I've been hoping they would start a new series at some point, but I'm nervous about this one. If it's a prequel, there can't really be much happening with the actual stargate, unless they throw out cannon. It's already been established in SG-1 that the original team that found the stargate only got it to work once, and then they more or less packed it up.
Curious to hear more details.
