After you mentioned it, I took a look at a synopsis of Dark
Matter and yeah, i don't know how well it will work. The
continuity factor is missing. I think part of the great success
of Star Trek through the years is the Universe that was created
and then filled with a succession of different characters.
Stargate, as a fascinating hybrid between the world we know and
a secret government program that travels to new places has
gained its own history. *the Universe they created took a long
time to build to where it is, and it seems to me, if they want
to be a success, they should continue to fill that Universe up
with more shows/movies/etc. *It could easily last a very long
time. But as a "similar but not the same" as Dark Matter appears
to be.. it will have a much harder time getting out of the
starting gate. ...starting gate.. STARting-GATE - oh I really
just said that didn't I? *ugh. lol
