(Because the writing in SGU was *that bad*, I prefer to think of it as live action crackfic. From the skeevy part of the Het shipping fandom *nods* Because having sex with your wife while using another mans body? Um. That was super skeevy. And killing all the girls? *glares* Gin and The parapalegic doc didn't deserve to die. Or that botanist go blind. Or TJ losing her baby. The Liver Transplant was a really cool plot tho- wait, that was a man donating part of his liver to another man ... right.)
I would have found it far more believable and compelling had it been The Apollo, or the Daedalus, or the Odyssey that was jumping away from a Supernova for some Ori-related reason, and found themselves in a galaxy with no frame of reference for where home is or how to get back. Because that happened to SG-1 when they were fighting Apophis' fleet.
Having sustained massive damage in the battle, they are breathing borrowed air, with a damaged ship, with limited and dwindling food supplies when they find a stargate.
Cue the story of the Destiny program, where seeder ships were dispatched throughout the galaxy(implied this and other galaxies!!!), and they are able to get the gist of the program when they load a gate onto the ship using the beaming technology, and begin searching for food or an evacuation site.
They could deal with the fact that they are the ancestors of a civilization they have yet to found, with the series finale of the show being the episode where the ship and their crew get thrown 2,000 years back in time. Had it been the Odyssey, with the Asgard core? That leads to some AWESOME potential. Because the descendants have has 2,000 years to study the core, and that would also have been an organic way to bring the Asgard back. Their consciousnesses were stored in the core until such a time as their race could be revived; they were trusting Earth to eventually solve the cloning program, even if it took several thousand years.
The blue aliens could have been new derivatives of the Asgard, or a very alien race, who knows!
That also has an organic way to grow the secondary cast and recurring characters. And have their descendants figure out how to contact earth. Less stupid. Less dead. *nods* *whispers* I think that's a bit of a fix-it ...
