But, who's calling "character driven" crazy? Really? I thought "character driven" (and sex) was the reason we all wrote fan fiction, because there was such a lack of it on the show.
It's the "more spaced-based action" from this article http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/08/sci_fi_green-lights_istargate_un.shtml that I'm not thrilled about. Action as in blowing stuff up (as to appeal to a younger audience) or action as in... plot happening in space? I'm inclined to think the former just because of all their words about "fresh faces" and "younger vibe." But otherwise I wouldn't think that and I hope it's not what they mean. (ETA I'm sorry I think I'm being irrational, I just don't know what to think about this younger vibe they're going for) I just hope "younger" isn't another word for "more cartoon like" and "even less sophisticated."
My other concern is... what age of viewers they mean by younger? Since when to teenagers like me not like Stargate? (even though SG1 was for long time boringly character-less and psychological tension-less and SGA was absurd and disjointed)
So yeah, Atlantis is a failure, and I'm just not sure about Universe. I'm going to miss McKay so bad.
