Stargate:U - seriously they cancelled SG:A for this

After being in Birmingham for most of the week, my DVR was full and I spent most of Saturday catching up. I thought I'd share some thoughts about Stargate:Universe ( Read more... )

Personally, I am a fan of the lost-in-space genre, which made me like BSG and Voyager. In the beginning. (And technically, SGA was a 'lost in space', which was my initial reason for loving it.) However, I like spaceships, robots and explosions a lot more, so all this namby-pamby whining and character drama is putting me off. Seriously, give me gun fights, explosions and aliens over this personal drama any day - even if the drama is happening on a spaceship ( ... )

Sounds like you gave up on BSG about the same time I did.

I loved SGA but it hit the ground running. The introduction of the wraith was great. In SG:U where are the gun battles and the action - I don't like all the sitting around and navel gazing, either.

I like Rush, I suppose because I'm a fan of Robert Carlyle. I didn't like how they introduced Eli - in a world where you have McKay, Cater, Zelenka and now Rush - are you telling me those four needed the help of an outsider. I didn't buy the premise behind his character.

They need to have some action soon or I'm done

I would like it if they would start to use the stargate more (it's the title of the show!), and if when they actually did use the stargate, Lt Scott didn't always need to be dragged back through. There's no need for him to constantly be the woobie!

I know! This last episode was a repeat of the desert one only with ice planet substitution and heat stroke replaced with crevasse accident, but otherwise the same exact plot.

They need to give me something new - seriously

I don't know whether to be more concerned about the fact that they have a whipping boy already, or that they're already recycling previous SG plots.

SGA at least waited until the 2nd season before hijacking SG1 plots.

I know 5 episodes in and we've had two that are already the same. Being darker doesn't mean being boring
