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.
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.
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.
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.

You forgot Nearscape and Passivestar Universal..
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.
I mean, I didn't catch the last one but I actually liked universe. One, I liked that they tried something different. Two I liked all the non-cw-teen-romance stuff. That teen drama, I think I was not the target audience. I am not sure the target audience exists but I will allow that someone could have liked it, the actors weren't bad per se. Also doctor whatshisface was good. The, uh, he looks kind of weasely in character? I like that actor. Bob Bobberson. I should recordar this. I should read the follow up comics.
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.
I'm not holding my breath either. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does turn out to actually be good. But otherwise... We shall see.

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.
Firefly season 2
Apparently they are working on an animated version with the original cast.

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
Correct
Professor Who
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.
Do we have a ST:DS Nein yet? It'd really give Nurse Ratched a goose-step up in a pressed Hugo Boss "Imperial March Madness" ensemble. 😅
