They never resolved the Wraith situation.
2p years later Michael turns up with some ancient doomship and super wraith.

But they're also responsible for Bosch, The Boys, Reacher, Fallout, The Man in the High Castle, many of whom I enjoyed. And they also continued the Expanse (4-6).

The "friendly to both fans and new viewers" thing is going to be an interesting balance. By the time it stopped airing there had been a lot of technical advances and international agreements to the point where it hardly seemed feasible for everything not to go fully public and those technologies spread worldwide. Catching people up with that could be tricky.
Then again, that could be an interesting hook. Having the whole Stargate project go public even as they're facing some major new interstellar threat or challenge could be a compelling storyline.

True but the Expanse went downhill fast once prime took over. What they did to the final season was criminal.
It's a challenge, sure. But a good writing team can certainly rise to meet it!
No Netflix? Disney+?Some thoughts:
1) I’m glad to see Stargate is coming back in some form- and not as a reboot.
2) even though I have Prime (through my folks), I probably won’t be watching it. I generally don’t watch shows of any kind on my computers, tablets, or phones. I haven’t even set up any of our smartTVs to watch online channels.
3) I actually liked SG:U. I thought it had some growing pains visibly depicted on screen, but I felt it finished pretty strong.
Setting up Amazon Prime on your SmartTV isn't any different from the other streaming channels, it's pretty easy. And there is so much good genre TV waiting for you!
To a large degree, I blame Cas Anvar (the actor playing Alex). He was credibly accused by ~40 people for sexual harassment and/or assault, things were investigated, and he was fired (that's why the character dies in such a weird way at the end of season 5). But not having him on the show messes the entire chemistry of things up.
(Note: I think they made the right call morally to fire him, I just wish it didn't have the consequences it did).
SGU was very different from the other shows. To me, it felt a lot like "What if Stargate, but Battlestar Galactica?" You had the ship traveling seemingly aimlessly through space, cut off from support, a lot of people there that really didn't have any business being there but were stranded, and a scientist of questionable loyalties delving into Deep Secrets. It was even shot in a different way that was more reminiscent of BSG (though that might just be advances in camera tech). I can see how some people would like that, but personally I like my Stargate to be Stargate, and not BSG.
