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
