Swap Stargate sg-2 with Babylon 6 and this is right on the money for me
Just poker, drinking, and hanging out.
iirc there was an episode of MASH that was one long poker game. At the start Hawkeye comes in from the operating room and tells someone that he has to wait two hours before his patient has gotten enough blood to start operating. Players come in and out, and they keep chatting while the bombs fall.
MASH did some amazing bottle episodes. I remember watching the series back when Netflix mailed disks and really enjoying it. It held up really well.
Thank you for bringing up the term "bottle episode" again. I was trying to remember what it was called and searching was only coming up with clip episode.
Someone posted a picture of an episode of Frasier at the spa "There is a platinum door?" and I was wanting to see if that matched the bottle episode definition.
The change that always intrigues me is that Frank Burns character.
In the original book and movie [he was played by Robert Duval] Frank is not an idiot. He's a competent surgeon. The reason the others hate him is that when a patient lives it's because Frank is a great doctor, and when a patient dies it's someone else's fault. Trapper punches him after Frank tells an 18 year old corpsman that the corpsman had killed a patient.
Winchester was overbearing and obnoxious, but he had a sense of humor and a modicum of self-awareness.
The book also tells us how Trapper got his nickname.
In the book and the movie, when Trapper pulls a jar of olives out of his coat.
You forgot Nearscape and Passivestar Universal..
If we're pitching Trek, can I request something that is still hopeful without being an Earth based branch of the Federation of Planets?
I've had enough Starfeet. You see what I did there. No more Trek for the sake of "the brand". Let's see episodic adventures featuring practical effects set on alien planets with situations none of us can relate to.
If you wanna shake things up, do it right.
Nah, it's all about prequels nowadays.
Stargate: SG-0

Babylon 4
Star Trek: Deep Space 8
I loved the story line about the previous stations in Babylon 5. So interesting like yeah we have this awesome place, but it didn't just happen to spring into existence. It wasn't formed naturally or given by some advanced aliens. We built it ourselves after having a real shit time previously. But we stuck with it and here it is, flaws and all.
I am going to be so honest, there is no way I think Babylon 5 could be remade or added to. It had some bumps in production, but the actors were irreplaceable. I cannot imagine anyone other than Andreas Katsulas as G'kar. There can be no other Ambassador DeLenn except Mira Furlan.
It's one of those cases where even the flaws it had were so perfect and so human that altering it would nearly be sacrilege. I hope to any gods that still give a fuck that the corporations forget B5 ever happened so it can rest in peace. Because you know that if they try to do any corporate necromancy on it, it'll be a shambling horror that's nothing like the original.
i read your first sentence and then skipped because i wanted to say You can't make it without Andreas Katsulas or Peter Jurasik. thank you for covering that bit.

Unironically, I think Star Trek: Away would be a fun Lower Decksian concept that covers an away team, but only while they are on mission.
The episode starts once they have left the ship (whether by transporter, shuttle or otherwise), no context, and the show builds the premise of the mission over the course of the episode. We never actually get a good view of the inside of the ship and all the nonsense that goes on there (mission related or not) has to be relayed through coms, dialogue, or the away team’s outside perspective.
I would love to see this as a series of shorts
It’s ripe for all sorts of ongoing gags: red shirt death toll, or a red shirt that gets horribly maimed but comes back from sick bay every episode South Park style. Plenty of room for plot twists and narrative shifts because neither the MacGuffin nor the true nature of the setting are revealed at the beginning.
Open planet-side. The away team beams in and starts taking readings and such.
Away 1: So, how many tentacles do you think the transporter chief actually has?
Away 2: At least 30, but that depends where in the branching you start counting.
Away 3: 30‽ More like 2,030!
Away 2: Oh I don’t count the little ones. I think of them as tiny fingers.
Away 1: Or octopus suckers.
Away 4: I think they are more like…tongues?
Away 1: Wait! So every time they shook my hand…
Away 4: Uh huh.
Away 1: Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m disgusted or aroused…
Away 3: dis-groused?
Away 4: I always thought they were 1 multi pronged tentacle, like… a hand… or, or, a starfish!
Away 1: A starfish? do you think if they were cut in half they’d become twins?
Disembodied voice: Away One, your communicator is still on.
Away 1: Ugggh! Not again! If I get another reprim…
Blaster fire hits a nearby red shirt and plot ensues

Firefly season 2
Apparently they are working on an animated version with the original cast.
https://screenrant.com/firefly-reboot-animated-series-original-cast-return/
At this point it would have to be animated.
I wonder if Serenity is still canon.
I believe they are going for a 'prequel' set in the days between the end of the show and the Serenity movie.
More will be revealed

On the subject of Stargate; a new series is being made. I'm jaded as fuck considering that every attempt at reviving classic sci-fi and fantasy has been done by those least qualified.
But when it does come, I really hope Stargate embraces an alternate history approach, because if it turns out the whole Stargate program is somehow still a secret, then it'll be unbelievable to the point of absurdity.
Yes. I think, what happens when the Stargate Program becomes public knowledge is one of the most interesting premises the show could work with.
They’ve been trying to make a new Stargate series for years. Pretty much since Universe bombed, but especially since Amazon bought MGM. Last I heard they had recruited Joseph Mallozzi to run the new show. He has been with Stargate since season 4 of SG-1 and supposedly was heavily involved with Atlantis but not as involved with Universe, so we shall see but I’m not going to hold my breath for a good show.

Star Trek: The Still Image
I'm still waiting them to out together all those unused plotlines for TNG season 8
As long as we don't do prequels.
Babylon 4 might have a bit of a delay.
Say what you will about Babylon 1-3, they went out with a bang.
People said they were daft for building a space station in a swamp.
