Hello there! I wasn't interacting much with fandom back when I was heavier into those shows, more just in 'consumption of fanworks' mode, but yes, everything you said there makes perfect sense to me regardless! Highlander always had a smaller, tighter vibe to it, Stargate was so very sprawling with such a wonderful bounty of works created for it, and Farscape was really just so well-produced and the characters were taken on such wonderful continuity arcs, that it was really easy to get most of the pay-off as a fan from the show itself rather than feeling the need to explore fandom quite so much for emotional pay-off/satisfaction.
The Untamed is great fun and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit, and the fandom is definitely on the larger side and putting out tons of great content. But honestly Guardian really does hold my heart right now, and I'm finding it more re-watchable between the two... it's not a show I would recommend to people who have trouble getting past occasional low production values/occasional very bad CGI or who aren't interested in easing past some cheesy moments and plot holes. But for people who are in it for the absolutely beautifully emotional character moments and deep, meaningful connections... yeah, that show delivers in spades.
