I know! I was so delighted to get back into a science fiction fandom, but 1. I forgot that the rest of fandom generally doesn't interact with Science! the way I'm interested in, and 2. it's based on a fantasy novel so half the fandom wants to secretly write fic for the fantasy novel instead and add reincarnation and Ghost Kings.
I'd love to see things that dealt with the generation ship thing (or did they have FTL travel?) and handwaved a scientific-sounding explanation for dark energy and Dixing powers and just engaged with the worldbuilding of the show on its own merits, instead of basically treating it like a version of the novel that went through a cipher and the point of the exercise being undoing the effects of the cipher... And, of course, I'd happily read the version where it's a Space AU (even if it's a Star Wars AU of some stripe – the Black-Cloaked Envoy dresses like a Sith Lord, after all) or where hard SF elements are added in, and there is a three-page infodump on relativistic rocket equations.
