The difference between B5 and SG is universe. B5 had a great universe but most people would probably be ok with rebooting it. It was a single unified story that was completed to excellence. Sure you could also jump around elsewhere in the time, but not sticking too close to the original canon probably would be fine. Stargate has 19 seasons and 2 movies, spread across SG1, Atlantis, Universe, Origins & Infinity. Rebooting that would be... dropping a tactical nuke on the franchise. Plus they've always left that universe "open" (look at Unending, the ending of SG1, they step back into the gate like its just another day), feels like there is so much more to explore.
