Now That I Can Get Behind

I haven't been all too excited about the upcoming Stargate spinoff, since it seemed like it was going to be Baby Stargate or something, but this bit of casting news may change all that!

...as Stargate Atlantis was to Star Trek: Deep Space 9...

The Star Trek comparison makes it clearer to me how my interest declined from SG-1 to SGA. I liked DS9 a lot, but I always compared it to B5 and preferred the non-Trek show. I was one of the people, I know I wasn't alone in it, that's first thought when Ronon was introduced was that he was a cheap knock off of Tyr Anasazi from Andromeda. SGA was derivative in more ways than I consciously recognized. I lost interest in SGA before it was canceled and it sounds like SGU won't be drawing me back to Stargate.

(Lacking a Star Trek, Babylon 5, Andromeda, or Stargate icon I'm using my Classic Who one.)
