I really didn't like the direction that SG-1 and Atlantis took.

There was a novel that took place after the movie that depicted Hathor coming back and trying to take over with a simultaneous plot of the US trying to extract resources from Abydos. I though it was really we done and wished that SG-1 used it as the starting point.

I can sympathise with that; while I enjoyed both, they were a radical departure from the source material and non-trivial departure from the SG-1 pilot (which I only learned recently was initially a made-for-TV film).
A made-for-TV film for Showtime, at that, which is why the pilot has nudity and an R rating and the rest of the series pivots into more family-friendly territory.
