This is what I intended to post:

Star Wars Facts
  • Star Wars Episode VIII will shoot on 35mm film.
  • Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One will shoot partially with a 6K camera and new Panavision lenses.
  • Daisy Ridley drops a hint about Rey’s lineage in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
  • See the covers of three new Star Wars novels.
  • Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow talks Star Wars films.
  • Anthony Daniels is voicing C-3PO in Star Wars Battlefront.
  • Find out about a never published Star Wars novel called “Heart of the Jedi.”
  • Billie Lourd strikes down another Star Wars: The Force Awakens rumor.
  • Star Wars may once again film on Skellig Michael in Ireland.
  • Read an interview with the stunt double who played Kylo Ren.
  • Peter Mayhew definitively puts the “Han Shot First” debate to rest.
Though Episodes II and III were shot digitally, J.J. Abrams shot Star Wars: The Force Awakens on film to duplicate the look and feel of the original trilogy. That will continue with 2017’s Star Wars Episode VIII. On Twitter, Rian Johnson answered a question about potentially shooting in 65mm and while he said they considered it, they would go with 35mm

There's a new sci-fi show on Syfy called Dark Matter. It's from the people who did the Stargate TV show. It's about a crew of a ship that wakes up from hibernation with no memory of themselves nor each other. Sounds like a STNG episode. They also have a human (female) android on board with its memory erased? Also the ship's logs have been sabotaged but at the end of the episode they find out that they're all dangerous criminals. Is it true? Is there a saboteur on board faking memory loss. Did the android do it? So far it's interesting but it's only the first episode.

If you look up their history, you find the SG-1 creator and showrunner Ira Steven Berh was a writer on TNG and DS9, which why they have so many similarities e.g. the Go'ould are very much copying the Dominion from DS9.

Same with Ron D Moore on BSG, Outlander and Helix

Unfortunately, that premise sounds less like the cool Stargate shows, and more like SGU...

There was actually a Star Trek TNG episode where the whole crew lost their memory. Also Stargate was known to borrow ideas.
two episodes, one where a alien agent came aboard and it's imposed amnesia so he could pose as first officer and use the Enterprise D against his race's Enemy combatants. As neither race had the technology to match the Enterprise. The other was where Miles O'Brian played detective when he became suspicious that the whole ship was missing time. It turned out that the crew of the Enterprise themselves had erased several hours of there day by request of a alien race.
