Thaaaats pretty much what my point was. They went younger and edgier in an attempt to connect with new audiences. Which was exactly what part of the 200th episode made fun of.

The basic premise of the show is pretty much the first season of Atlantis. Certainly workable.

I hate to say this cause people always go up in arms whenever comparisons are made between space shows but I think Universe might actually have survived if they'd made it a bit more like Star Trek Voyager. They took themselves too seriously.
