        I suppose it could have. My problem is that when I watch a show, it’s mostly for the competence porn. SG1 and SGA were that, in spades. SGU wasn’t that, at least in the beginning, and I don’t typically last beyond three episodes when it’s clear that the genre isn’t even what I’m looking for.

      Stargate: Battlestar Galactica. It was so, so apparent at the time that they saw the success of BSG and wanted in on it. It’s honestly hilarious because Trek tried to pull the same shit with Discovery, and then with Picard s1-2 before they reversed course and were like “what if we just made the type of Trek that Trekkies like?” and then comes Picard S3 and Strange New Worlds.
