It's the first fully functional canonical alternate universe to, as far as I know, ever be created and then allowed to exist beyond the scope of the original and then gets its own franchise on top of it. This is a really great insight!
Because while AUs are a dime a dozen these days (hopw many do we now have canonically in SGverse?), they tend to be fleeting...
Well, except for the jumping fish issue, right? Isn't the last couple of seasons of Stargate effectively an AU?
But yes, I'm not sure I could have loved it this much had it not been rebooted. That was kinda a stroke of genius! And the connections to *us* are so obvious (and appropriate given ST's central historical precedent...)
