Man, I don’t even want a new Stargate series. All of the franchise reboots lately have been massive letdowns at best.
Star Trek is doing really well
That’s very debatable.
Only if you don’t like Star Trek. Strange New Worlds is fantastic, Lower Decks is legitimately in my top three series in the franchise at this point, and Discovery found it’s feet in Season three, and continued to improve from there, just like TNG did. You’re missing out
I haven’t given lower decks a shot yet, thanks for the feedback pushing me over the edge to try it!
Agreed, Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds are great, but Discovery is unwatchable.
It’s worth it just for Saru. He’s my boy
I have watched them all I agree but the new season of discovery the seem to have finally gotten it right.
Especially the crossover episode.
“…Riker!!!”
Discovery didn’t find its feet, it found the bottom of a bottomless pit of bad writing.
SNW and Lower Decks are actually good shows and I can’t believe they got made after discovery’s train wreck. I also can’t believe that I like lower decks. Like I’m supposed to hate it, but somehow it is full of optimism and Star Trek spirit and the writers are big enough nerds that they cram each episode full of stuff for me to find. It’s absolutely amazing and I still can’t believe it exists.
Yeah, I really didn’t think I’d like Lower Decks either. When Paramount released Discovery, which didn’t feel like Star Trek at all, and then an animated comedy Star Trek, I felt they had absolutely no right to make fun of Star Trek. Fortunately, the creator and the writers actually do love the show, and it’s smart and quick, and really gets what Star Trek stands for. And now, because of the Strange New Worlds crossover (which was a masterpiece), Mariner’s actress will be writing for Star Fleet Academy! So I’m excited for that as well

I’m sure it does. How’s season 3 of Picard?
Fucking awesome
That’s the only one I haven’t actually watched yet. The first two seasons were so bad. I’ve heard season 3 is good, but mostly nostalgia, which isn’t a big draw for me, since I was born a decade after TNG ended lol
It was great. But it was just a series of fan service, so exactly for me. ☺
Hard disagree
SGU already let me down
I loved it and really hoped it was going to come back with that time jump they predicted in plot.
I grew to like it. I saw the potential for story growth during the second season.
I hated SGU, for all the same reasons I hated Battlestar Galactica except louder.
SyFy had a hit show whose tone was hovering somewhere around “Everything is terrible, you should kill yourself.” And where do you go from there? How do you top that? Apparently by heading toward “Everything is more terrible, you should murder your family then kill yourself.”
So I cancelled my cable subscription and started playing video games about factories.
Yeah, it’s not a happy show.
Stargate SG-1, despite the tragic backgrounds of some of the leads, well, we see one plot unfold in the pilot, is one of the more fun and positive sci-fi shows around.
SG-1 had serious moments and dark moments and light moments and fun moments.
I forget the exact circumstances, but there’s this moment where O’Neill and Carter are separated by a force field, O’Neill is on the escape side, Carter is trapped. O’Neill starts pounding on the force field with a chair or something, desperately trying to break her out, and when she says “Colonel just leave me and save yourself.” He shouts NOOOO! at her. He’s ready to tear the force field down with his bare hands to save her.
This same character delivers the line “In the middle of my back swing?!”
I want a series that takes place after the gate is announced to the world and the resulting chaos is settled. With focus split between new discoveries, off world immigration, and flashbacks that tell the story of how the gate changed society.
Maybe add a criminal element of smugglers using an off books gate and men in black like group chasing down unregistered off workers and smuggled goods on earth.

Man, an animated series a la Clone Wars about the origins of the Jaffa with Christopher Judge could be epic.
I want an origin series about the Asguards first contacts with earth, and the rise of Viking lore
Indeed.
Or something more comedic along the lines of Lower Decks, maybe from the POV from some System Lord Grunt?
Call it “The Setesh Guards”
The serpent guards eyes glow.
The Horus Guard’s beak glistens…
It doesn’t have to be perfect, I still watch all of trek even if some series aren’t as fun to me as others.
It’s a huge universe with unlimited stories. Find some likeable characters and let them save the day. I don’t need a “perfect show”.
Wright and Cooper are just waiting for someone to touch the long range communication stones again.
I mean they had a whole parallel universe that got destroyed. I don’t understand why they aren’t leveraging that angle and pulling a Stargate/Fringe style situation where the Goa’Uld (or some other baddie) are attacking from the unknown or whatever.
