Season 5 was stretched and hardly a full length season either.
The asteroid A plot (main plot line) was finished by Episode 5. The remaining 5 Episodes had nothing besides B plot line.
B plot is usually reserved for 2-3 episodes of a season. Amazon made it the entire 5 remaining episodes of Season 5. Book readers didn't care of course, but TV watchers lost interest.
Might as well have just made Season 5 into 6 episodes also.
Not even getting into Syfy delivering 13 episodes of quality in 2 full seasons, with Amazon coming in at 10 then 6 episodes. "They saved Expanse" is dubious.

Eh, the amazon seasons were watchable, didn't set the IP on fire, and had a reasonable ending. It's a low bar, but it could have been a lot worse. I think it's mostly expectations that taking the same writers, actors and showrunners and giving them a bigger budget should have resulted in better than the first seasons, but clearly didn't.

Roswell I think also. Veronica Mars had 3 seasons and a movie campaign.

i started watching stargate origins which was a series of webshorts made in 2018 i think, its hilariously bad. it goes back to 1939 and guess who the baddies are... THATS RIGHT, NAZIS
just watched episode 1 but its so bad its hilarious. im 99% sure any new stargate made would be hot garbage. got 11 seasons of SG1, like 7 seasons of atlantis, and 2 seasons of SGU. More than enough to rewatch until Hollywood is purged of retards (never) or they bring back cocaine fueled writers

This is kinda where I'm at on this at this point in time.
Same way people are "rediscovering" old games on actual physical media because the current game industry is such hot garbage.
Many are rediscovering old shows that hold up. SG-1 , IMHO, holds up well. Embrace and love it for what it is, a SciFi show that straddles a good line of how seriously it takes itself, has enjoyable characters, and does a good decade long run. (Although I'll admit things faded a bit with the Ori arc IMHO).
Maybe at some point in a decade the wyrm will have turned enough to get an honest new show. By that point the OG cast from SG-1 will all be old enough to just get cameos as "Ah, there used to be someone familiar with first gen naquada reactors.... you should go find her" or "There used to be a guy who deciphered this language..." and such. Maybe frame it as with the neutralization of the Ori and the system lords the decision was made to just shudder the program because the world finally realized it wasn't ready for that tier of fights, a tiny fragment kept doing a little exploration with a firm "interact with no civilizations" rule, until something goes wrong and it's time to "assemble a team" to handle up on shit.
It's just a shame that by the time that happens Claudia Black will be old enough that her in a tight leather dress will count as GILF bait.
