Both great series unfortunately cancelled. The funny thing about these shows is that do not grow up with their fans their audience - why not have an R or X rating, comic book style the rating never changes. How is it all the aliens look like humans in both shows - it does not matter if there foreheads are large or their colour is blue. Aliens should look like aliens. The imagination of the people who make these shows seem stunted when it comes to conceiving aliens..
Star Trek never lived out on its premise and promise to seek out new life and new civilisations. The air was sucked out of Stargate after defeating Goul'd and the Ori. Only really good science fiction/fantasy writers can breathe life into these shows.
So many people have written Star Trek novels, but no one really cares to take ideas from them. Slowly and gradually Stargate moved from gate travel to star ship travel - what is known as hyper drive in Stargate is warp drive in Star Trek. Does it really matter what is the way travel through stars and galaxies, does it really have to have a name? Just say travel a billion light years per second or some other nonsense.
When writers get exhausted and run out any new material the rehash it from other shows instead of relying on science fiction writers. It is very likely they can come up some incredible concepts. Both Stargate and Star Trek are alike in the sense that they are both about space exploration. Has ever anyone considered another angle - humans as pirates and planet conquerors in order to build a gigantic inter-galactic empire. The entire human race is in space to build their individual space empires. It could be a great idea or a terrible one. I personally think that it is good a number reasons - why should humans be depicted as noble and freedom loving race? It is far easier to show Earth star-ships destroying world instead an alien who looks just like a human being which would be ridiculous.
