So you want to kill it.
Look, when they brought back "Star Trek" The Next Generation they did not sideline Roddenberry. Because, unlike the current group running things, they were not so fricking stupid it burns.
You let the guy who had the billion dollar idea lead. You change things only if the audience objects. And I mean the real audience not the "only watched reviews by some dipwit on Chi-Com" audience. And even then you look it over carefully. Because this was the guy with the billion dollar idea. See where he might be going before you start sticking your fingers in.
Actually Roddenberry was partly sidelined, he wasn’t the executive producer/ showrunner. And after the first season stepped back some, then when his health started declining he stepped back a lot. And that was a good thing, his “no conflicts” directive was the bane of the writers room. There’s a difference between idea and execution.
And in the modern world where anything new has to also compete with the back catalog a reboot needs to differentiate itself. They’ve got 17 seasons combined of original Stargate, that orange has been juiced. And anybody that loves that Stargate will watch that. And those fans just keep getting older and fewer.
