i agree; universe was a little too bleak, which was trendy at the time. we need something campy and fun.

for the love of god upbeat scifi please. I can't take the dystopian themes anymore. I need escapism damnit.
This is my biggest concern with anybody (not just Amazon) trying to extend Stargate SG-1. I want more Stargate. Not a sudden dystopian nightmare, or dour bleak exploration of this or that, or gutting Stargate to write some other show wearing Stargate on the outside (e.g., "It's Game of Thrones, but Stargate!").

It's not even that those things are bad. I've watched and enjoyed some of them. It's just that I know where to get them and I've got enough of them right now.

I would happyly watch a Stargate which connects to parallel universes to keep the fun and curios and action part alive.

It can then become a gateway for stories like sliders and less coherent. Similar to black mirror.

This is the main reason I’ve been watching Star Trek TNG recently. If anyone could recommend some vaguely optimistic sci-fi books that would be amazing.
Babylon 5 is the most upbeat my suspension of disbelief allows for.

And no more time travel!
