Universe is so weird.

I remember really wanting to like it, it's an interesting "soft-reboot" where otherwise the franchise would have to go into near-future-scifi territory. Not saying I wouldn't like the other thing, but totally understand from a budget standpoint why they went the Universe "lots of bottle episodes" direction. It also helps separate it from the rest of StarGate, Andromeda, Farscape, and other recent-at-the-time shows.

I remember it starting to go in interesting directions and then got cancelled. Should probably try and watch it again. Don't think I have since it aired.

Agreed. Sad it was cancelled right when the background plot (heh) was picking up some speed and the show seemed to have found its stride, but overall it was a bit too Battlestar Galactica for me anyway.

A lot of the narrative structure was further developed by Brad Wright with the Travelers (2016) series in which it worked quite well from the start. Also sadly cancelled before its time though.
