Alien debris with incredible properties rains down, and a special agency attempts to gather and manage them.
Interesting enough, but definitely not recommended because it only has a partial story which ends on a cliffhanger.
Abandoned: Cancelled after one season.

This goes back in time to the original finding of the stargate, and stars a character we all know lives and so cannot be in any danger at all ever.
This just comes across like short-episode fan fiction.

An experimental gate technique strands unlikely survivors on an ancient ship.
A fair show. That’s pretty much all I can say about it, really. It has some significant presentation of humans being human, which is rare and special.

A family is lost in space.
It’s not bad, but the tone bothers me. It’s so tryhard “epic” that it’s strained.
Inspired by Lost in Space – (1965 show)
Not to be mistaken for Thunderbird.

An underclass punk, returning from a ten month flight from the country, happens upon a suicide that reveals that she is part of a larger picture.
The lead actor is particularly good, as is all the acting. The story is poor in a number of places, and it is particularly jarring to have literal-faggotry forced into it. I don’t mind there happening to be gay characters, but when they’re gay characters being gay because gayness yay gay gay as opposed to just being people who happen to be gay, it’s so obvious and so insulting as to taint the whole fucking show.
I’ll flag this as liked and lightly-recommended. It’s really not all that awful, but it rubs me the wrong way. It’s like girly science fiction drama-whatever.

Pseudo-immortality is reached when alien technology allows humans to save their consciousnesses to reusable disks, and a criminal’s disk is brought online from deep storage, for him to investigate the crime against an ancient and powerful man.
Finally, a science fiction show with real depth and darkness. Highly recommended.
I forgot season 1 and so it basically goes to confusing shit in season 2 so I gave up.

In a world where everyday people use the internet through total-sensory virtual reality, a specialist intelligence agency tracks down murderers and terrorists.
Slow and confusing, this book isn’t just a challenge to read, it’s a challenge to read with a straight face. One of the risks of speculative science fiction is that they can get very, very, wrong in their predictions. This book hand-waives people being transported into a magical world with no explanation as to how it’s possible or what it’s like. It is vague in everything it demands the reader suspend their disbelief in. It is awed at 900 Mhz computers. This is definitely a 1998 book that had way too much hope for its future.
I had a sticker with two, and the book had two.. and none of these are coming up with anything:
