I hope they come back with something more optimistic and upbeat than the needlessly edgy SG:U. I get that drama and conflict are needed, but a main cast that's constantly fighting gets tiresome really quickly.

    SG:U was tapping into BSG’s teenage drama in space.

    So look to what current sci-fi shows are popular to see what they’ll shamelessly copy instead.

    They had better not decide that discovery is popular.

    The thing is... the original series was incredibly melodramatic. There was a constant uptick in drama... but often in a very tongue-in-cheek way. There was no acknowledgment of the ridiculousness of the premise in SG:U, if they took themselves less seriously (and had less high school level drama) it might have been a better show. Unfortunately that wasn't the algorithm at the time :(

    Sadly, I don't think it's the current algorithm now either, so this new show still won't have the feel of the original series or Atlantis.
