Someone knows that the SG brand is unique and absolutely precious!! And that same someone is engaging in customer abuse (or fan abuse) at its worst!!!

Cindy says: “I keep watching but I find myself falling asleep during the “stones” portions (sooo boring) and then I seem to be making coffee, using the bathroom and letting the cats out during the rest of the show. Yes, I know someone out there is going to ask how I can possibly follow it while doing all this.”

Hahaha! I do almost the same but at least I stay in the room!!!. But I do check my e-mail, go through all my junk mail that piles up during the week, download some music, and surf the net.

I just hope that someone has the ability to turn on the Atlantis Star Drive and rescue the SGU crew but then a partially staffed Atlantis gets stranded with the SGU crew. A revised show starts with a combined Atlantis crew and SGU crew.

The combined crew can unload the current script, the script writers, and any other dead weight. No more communication stones.

Why has it been so silent here? No updates by each episode?

I did a quick scan of season one episodes, listed below:

Air, Part 1
Air, Part 2
Air, Part 3
Darkness
Light
Water
Earth
Time
Life
Justice
Space
Divided
Faith
Human
Lost
Sabotage
Pain
Subversion
Incursion, Part 1
Incursion, Part 2

Some of the future episodes in season one do look interesting. Earth and Justice might be really good. My guess is that Justice will probably be about murder, rape, crime, or theft on Destiny. My Gosh!!

The last 20 minutes of the episodes tend to be good. In the episode Light, I did like the whole thing about sitting in the observation deck watching the ship go into the sun. That scene and other scenes like it are the main reasons why I will most likely continue to watch the show. Matter of fact, the up close shots of traveling into the sun was one of my top 3 favorite scenes so far.

I do find it interesting that the senator’s daughter is the only one who is always in the observation deck when major events occur. It should be interesting to see what happens with that dynamic.

Harsh? Its a stupid soap opera, they had their chance to make a good action adventure out of it and decided against it. If you like this whimpering drama then more power to you but its not for me.

What else am I going to watch? I rarely watch TV as most of it is geared to a 4th grade level and SGU barely meets that criteria. Not everyone here is a simple minded boob tube addict, Your opening plea reads like some religious fallacy claim or damage control or save this pathetic show.

I’m sorry, if I sound overly harsh but I am not a member of the target audience this show was was designed to attract.

I really dislike soap operas, love stories and flash backs to peoples emotional issues. Just run with action adventure and we can figure out who these people are without the drama queen character building.

For them most part you dont need knowledge of SG1 or atlantis. However i have this knowledge and know that matter can only go through an active wormhole from the stargate the wormhole was initiated. So if rush would have put his arm in the event horizon he wouldn’t be getting that arm back xD

Niether have any of them heard any new on the supposed SGA film. I obviously don’t know the inner workings of the SG but it comes accross that they are distinctly non gratis… hope ever prevails but I think it is false.

Bad news for those of you who were hoping that Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) from Stargate Atlantis would join SGU.

It looks like it will not happen. It appears that David Hewlett was recently cast in a film called “The Whistleblower. ” The film begins shooting next week in Romania.

(Apparently advertisers pay more when a show brings in a younger demo and therefore the networks are happier to prolong a series that attracts them – in the bassist sense.)

This has always been a mystery to me as when I was that age I spent all my money on drink and clothes and its the older people that actually buy stuff but hey ho

The problem is that we continue to compare SGU to other programs, this is no slight on SGU. We compared SG to the film, we compared any scifi film to StarWars and we probably compared Star Trek Voyager to the original BSG. We like to find a common link and there are always going to be common aspects. This aside, SGU is not anything and there I think therein lies the problem.

The characters change the MOD every episode, with the exception of Eli. Rush in particular is a different person everytime he hits the screens, its like multiple personality bingo and I’d say that is def a full house in there.

Camera angles and flash backs that could make it dangerous for the epileptic to watch in the first and second ep and back to normal time flow in the third.

And considering that the SGC is supposed to be full of the best minds, (and I’m aware they can’t all be McKays and Carters but at the same time they can’t all be Lees and Kavanaugh’s either), I was expecting something more. Everyone is blaming shock. I like to think that people that work on a base that is threatened on a weekly basis are a little better at dealing with it by now and considering that no one trusts Rush – would you really sit around waiting for him to find the answers. Also, people don’t use the tech to its full advantage and thats just down right annoying.

However, SG writers are superb at spinning a tale and they wrapped SGU in enough curiosity that I continue to watch… however, eventually my curiosity will wane and I am not aware of the younger demo having abundance of patience. I am watching and hoping that once the emergencies are dealt with that SG writers will amaze and thrill me as they always have and that this wont turn into Eastenders in space.

… and yes, I’m fully aware that I waffle *G*
