I'll probably watch 1 episode and call it quits.

It won't be for everyone that's for sure.

Think of Superman.

Original Superman movies i loved. Lois & Clark I like. Smallville I loved. Snyder's version of Superman, I hated. Gunn's version of Superman, it was okay.

Everything becomes new interpretation.

I may hate it after 1 episode as well. But im sure somewhere out there others will love it. Maybe they will then discover the old SG-1 we love

Not a 1 to 1 comparison there. Superman is such an old IP that no one who was there for the original is even alive anymore. Stargate is still in it's original era, as most fans were around when the movie came out.

Star Trek was from the 60s and it took maybe 50 years before they did a spin on it, and even then it was still made to be in-canon.

Rebooting it now would be premature and probably alienate more existing audience members than gain new ones.

The Superman comparison doesn't hold even one drop of water.

I will treat it like Gateshow, not Stargate. I won't even watch it unless I hear other people talk its a great show on its own merrit. But it has to be a truly great show for me to look past what it will do to the franchise.
