I wouldn’t worry. It won’t actually be good
Stargate

Doesn't mean it wouldn't happen.
Look at how many bad scripts by humans have been produced. The machine is cheaper... no labor.

Is Amazon going to have the rights to produce Stargate once the merger goes through?
Good question.
I would imagine they would definitely have first airing rights, at the very least.

I would think that too. I can't imagine Amazon is pursuing this deal without considering some version of new Stargate.
Considering STARGATE and James Bond are the two biggest things MGM has, I agree.
That also puts a question mark on how future Bond movies will be done.
Hell... they might even try doing a series.

Future James Bond movies stay on the big screen

We're all sorry for the other guy when he loses his job to a machine. When it comes to your job, that's different. And it always will be different.
I've been watching a fair bit of SG1 recently, most of season 4, 5, and now into 6.
One thing that really struck me - in Shadow Play, episode 7, Jonas and the gang return to Kelowna. Jonas tells Kieran (played by the late Dean Stockwell) "when I'm not off world"
I felt it amusing. Jonas was on Kelowna in Meridian, and wasn't in Revelations.
In Redemption he was stuck on Earth. In Descent he made it into Orbit. Frozen was in Antarctica, Nightwalkers in Small Town USA, Jonas was in the SGC in Abyss, and then the first off-world misison we see him on was in Shadow Play!
He's offworld in The Other Guys, which arguably could be a daydram of Felger for the entire episode (although later events confirmed only the final scene was), Allegiance we hear he is off world with SG12, not with SG1, but we don't see him offworld then. It's finally episode 10 when he's unambiguously seen offworld!

Maybe from Jonas' perspective, every world, including Earth, is off-world. Which would also be true for Teal'c, since his homeworld is Chulak.
I've never seen the episode in question, but just from the way @Paul Weaver wrote it, I interpreted it that way.
I don’t think we’re that far off from having a computer generate a script that’s at least convincingly in the style of its data set.
Much farther off from having them wrote something original and compelling.

I think the intent was that there were other missions that weren't televised, a common occurrence on the show. Look no further than season 1, Emancipation. It's the first time after the pilot episode we see SG-1 on an off-world mission, yet a few other off-world missions are mentioned within the episode.
I'm waiting for them to put Atlantis and Universe back on prime so I can rewatch both series some day, especially Atlantis.
Joseph Mallozzi tweeted an interesting message today. Brad Wright clearly wasted no time in writing a script for a pilot for a possible next Stargate series.
It can't be a coincidence this happened less than a week after it was announced Amazon's deal to acquire MGM had been finalized.
The script was already written a while ago. It was working its way through the pre-pre-production pipeline, but then there was the pandemic, and then the Amazon purchase put things on hold. It is a good sign that Mallozzi is teasing that it's back in play now that the sale has gone through.
I missed Joseph Mallozzi's script review a few days ago (don't worry - no spoilers because he couldn't say much).
