So I just noticed an interesting trend between the two most popular syfy franchises in current history.
Star Trek/Star Trek: The Next Generation - A crew uses a starship to travel to strange unknown planets discovering mysteries and battling enemies
Stargate: SG-1 - A team use a stargate to travel to strange unknown planets discovering mysteries and battling enemies
*****
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - A crew mans a space station at the center of a galactic conflict and discovers the secrets of it's wormhole
Stargate: Atlantis - A team mans a lost city at the center of a galactic conflict and discovers the secrets of it's ancient technology
*****
And now...
Star Trek: Voyager - A crew mans a starship that is lost on the other side of the galaxy and must fend for themselves as they make the slow journey back home while discovering new planets
Stargate: Universe - A crew mans a starship that is discovered on the other side of the galaxy and must fend for themselves as they make the slow journey back home while discovering new planets
*****
What's next, Stargate: Origins, in which we learn the full history of how the stargates were seeded across the galaxy as they do battle with time traveling aliens only to find that the whole series was actually a holographic log watched by Dr. Jackson that showed the history of the stargates?
Very original, guys...
