Bringing back Stargate Universe and may be Stargate Atlantis (Beware of spoilers)

Hello everyone
I have been watching the repeats of SGU and I was thinking that the television series could still come back. The series ended in 2011. At the end SGU the Destiny expedition are put in to stasis and they are told it will take 3 years. Since it has been over 4 years they can add that in to the series. It took longer to reach the other galaxy because of some reason. Here is the petition to save SGU, https://www.change.org/p/ted-sarandos-save-stargate-universe and the Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/SaveSGU/timeline?ref=page_internal. They can also make some changes to SGU.
As for Stargate Atlantis it might be possible to bring back the television series. They can do a direct to television movie like Stargate Ark of Truth or have a new younger crew join the older crew. Here is the petition to save Stargate Atlantis, https://www.change.org/p/mgm-netflix-spyglass-bring-back-stargate-atlantis and others https://www.change.org/search?q=Stargate Atlantis. They can also make some changes to SGA.
What do you all think?

Universe, however, can go burn in a fire. Both because of what it was and what it denied us.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
It was like an updated version of Voyager and Voyager is in my top 5.
I think if they'd had a bit more gate travel than it would've gotten a bigger audience.
I'm hopin' it'll get picked up again but I won't hold my breath. Especially if Firefly is anything to go by.
Why do you not like SGU? If you do not mind me asking? I like both series and want both of them back and SG-1. I do agree with SGU they can make changes to it and have a proper ending to the story. Watch could be they finally get back to the Milk Way galaxy. I was thinking after SGU they could do a new series and have the previous people from SG-1, SGA and SGU make guest appearances or similar to SGU have younger people and older people exploring together.
besides that, getting the original actors back may also be a problem, 4 years is a long time.
Robert Carlyle is currently involved with "Once upon a time" and he is involved in another project.
Louis Ferreira is currently involved in "Motive" and has finished work on another project.
Brian Smith is involved in a film project called "22 chaser" and is almost complete with another project, "the passing season".
Alaina Huffman has nothing going on right at the moment but she does have a large family to look after, she may not have the time for a full season or more as far as work is concerned.
Jamil Smith and David Blue has almost finished with "Chuck Hank and the San Diego twins" and "Injection", otherwise nothing else going on for these two.
Ming-Na Wen is currently involved with "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", nothing else going on there.
Elyse Levesque is finishing up with two projects "Mesmerized" and "Shoot the messenger", not completely sure about the latter.
This is what you got to work with; Alaina Huffman, Jamil Smith and David Blue and possibly Elyse Levesque. i doubt the others could provide time to do SGU.
but the actors are one part of it, the question remain, what have MGM done with the sets, stages and props?
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Atlantis wasn't a carbon copy. The only things that came close to 'carbon copy' were:
1. A central base of operations with an iris of some kind and IDCs. Teams go out and explore the galaxy from here. There's a 'flagship' team.
2. Being the underdog against superior hostile forces, trying to protect Earth against them. (Aside from the Earth bit, Universe could be considered a 'carbon copy' in that regard too.)
3. We have the same starships in both series. Unsurprising, it's the same universe.
4. Politicians try to meddle in affairs they don't understand, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Also unsurprising, politicians are politicians wherever you go.
SGU could be summarized as 'new BSG, only with Stargates!'. I didn't like it when it didn't have Stargates, why the hell should I like it when it does?
The other issue is that MGM squandered precious resources to feed SG:BSG, resources that could have been used to bring us more Atlantis and maybe another SG-1 movie or two.

But seriously isnt MGM bankcrupt or something?
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds
Hast thou not lacked vigor
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts
Hast thou not become slothful

If fans can't save firefly, they definately can't save the far less popular SGU either.
The problem with SGU was that it was TOO serious. SG-1 and Atlantis had humor to break up the tension. That's one thing that made those shows so successful. SGU... was too much like BSG. It had potential, but was mired by nonstop drama with NOTHING to break it up.
I agree the SGU could have been lighter tone than it is.
Well SGU was similar to the newer BSG. I think that might have been the point, to have a darker tone in the Stargate universe. It did have stargates they explored through the stargates. SGU stargates are an earlier generation with a limited range. It goes Destiny style gates, Milky Way gates than Atlantis/Pegasus style gates. They can still do SGU but changes need to be made.
It got canceled just when it was getting good.
Some of the disaster of the week things were stupid too. A flying micro-organism that can absorb an endless amount of water? what made it ludicrous was the fact that the bugs never seemed to gain mass, and incinerating apparently didn't work....
My character Tsin'xing
I think you misunderstood that comment. I meant I didn't like nBSG when it didn't have Stargates, and I don't see why putting Stargates into it the way SGU did would make me like it better. (As it turns out, it doesn't.)
You've just reminded me of one other thing I didn't like about that series, though. It took an integral piece of canon that's been there for over twelve years, and threw it out the window in the very first episode. Point of origin symbols are unique on each gate, period. You cannot use the Earth point of origin (the fact that it's not really the Earth symbol to begin with is another matter altogether) without bringing the Earth gate to Icarus.
Eh, I suppose it was starting to come together, but... the damage was done. I stopped caring about what happened to more than half of those people on day one, and later episodes hardly did anything to change my attitude. They brought out O'Neill, something that practically singlehandedly made the episode back in Atlantis, and even that didn't do anything. (McKay, on the other hand...)
I don't know how good the actors themselves are, but as far as I'm concerned, the cast definitely has to go, simply because the characters they're playing can't be 'fixed' by any sane in-universe method.

It was a "special" gate. It didn't have to follow the usual rules for Stargates.
My character Tsin'xing
It was a special gate? Looked like every other Milky Way gate to me. It's also nice and convenient that the Lucian Alliance knew exactly how to build this 'special gate', when neither the Tau'ri nor the Alliance knew how to build gates in the first place.
The argument falls apart anyway when you notice that they didn't mention replacing or modifying the Langaran gate when they were trying to dial Destiny again.

The target gate aboard the Destiny was a special gate, not the origin gate. It requires a special dial up sequence that no other gate required. Probably because it couldn't be connected to the regular gateway network and was constantly moving, it required some special handling to reach.

As to the exploding planets... You guys are forgetting that both times, the planet in question was actually being attacked. Icarus was being hammered by the Alliance while the other planet was getting hit by the SGC. It could be that the power requirements to dial Destiny puts strain on a geothermal naquadria source, and the wild, uncontrolled energy with an attack caused an overload.
Says who, headcanon?
Seriously, though. Where has it actually been stated that you can do that? As far as I know, it was certainly not the series whose very premise had become dependent on such an explanation.
The address acted as a passcode, yes. Except the implication was that the address, not 'the combination of glyphs we tricked the gate into transmitting when it should be physically incapable of actually dialing it', was the passcode. Just as it was strongly suggested, if not outright shown, that all nine glyphs were physically present on the gate.
Yeah, the explosion was most likely due to weapons fire in at least one of the two instances - though I believe the possibility of it 'just happening' without weapons fire was one reason why the Langarans were so strongly opposed to letting the SGC dial Destiny using their planet.

earth was the ancient base of operations for who knows how long after they left their home galaxy; maybe they made additional backup gates for earth besides the one that ended up in antarctica

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
My character Tsin'xing
also, the fact that you can apparently hack a single DHD to dial every stargate in the galaxy...all of which have symbols that are certainly not on the DHD in question
