What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.
I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.
Do you have any recommendations?
Stargate SG-1 has a VERY interesting premise. Humans start from 0 and we see them gradually learning new technology and making alliances (Plus, the original cast is just stellar)
I’m in the middle of a 5th (or so) rewatch!
Richard Dean Anderson is a national treasure! :D
Definitely! While I still enjoyed the Ori saga, it definitely wasn’t the same without O’Neill.
I think he’s Canadian.
Edit: I’m wrong. Now why did I think that?
SG-1 was largely filmed in Canada. It’s why a lot of planets look like wilderness near Vancouver. (And quarries, in classic Doctor Who fashion.)
In the back half of the series you can really hear it creeping into RDA’s accent.
He filmed Macgyver there before Stargate too so the dude had TONS of time in van
