For me, fan-favorite \u201cFirefly\u201d has more in common with Stargate SG-1 than with the other big sci-fi shows\u2026 Good humour, enjoyable characters, and a sense of evolution: Star Trek and Star Wars are completely static from a technological perspective\u2026 Star Wars is just a storyline, and Star Trek is (with some notable exceptions) happening in a very static universe\u2026 Stargate showed us a mythos in which humans started knowing very little and improved their know-how and technology to rival the arch-enemies! You can observe as the characters themselves evolve, and even the cast changes didn\u2019t spoil the main purpose of it: fun! In a very different way, it\u2019s very \u201cDoctor Who\u201d, which is a big plus!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cStargate: Atlantis\u201d was also pretty fun (also very good and interesting characters), and \u201cStargate: Universe\u201d could have been great as well (if they didn\u2019t screwed it up with terrible casting and a story that went nowhere).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I really miss \u201cStargate SG-1\u201d\u2026 maybe one day we\u2019ll be able to see a reboot, remake or even sequel, but until then, I\u2019ll have to make do with rewatching the whole thing! <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile\" style=\"border-top-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none\" alt=\"Open-mouthed smile\" src=\"http:\/\/shadowcovenant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"tweetbutton1039\" class=\"tw_button\" style=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fshadowcovenant.com%2Fblog%2F2014%2F01%2F15%2Flong-time-no-see-3%2F&amp;text=Long%20time%20no%20see%26hellip%3B&amp;related=&amp;lang=en&amp;count=horizontal&amp;counturl=http%3A%2F%2Fshadowcovenant.com%2Fblog%2F2014%2F01%2F15%2Flong-time-no-see-3%2F\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"  style=\"width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url('http:\/\/shadowcovenant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tweet-button\/tweetn.png') no-repeat  0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block;\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this is has been another long hiatus\u2026 Reason for it was (obviously) the Christmas vacation, and a lot of work on the DayJob after that.
