Ok, its not SG1 and SGA thank goodness, those two shows got so darn boring. It was like here we have an enemy we cant possibly beat but we always do. On SGU you get so much more than most people will admit for one thing it does make you think. Unlike STA where it was the same show every week with just a slight twist. SGA or SG1 were like Bewitched in plot lines, same thing every week it was lets have some stupid problem and and fix it last minute and save the day over and over and over and over and over again. On SGU you never know whats going to happen making that part of the fun.

I loved both SG1 and SGA, however SGA became sooo corny sometimes. Reminded me of, gasp, Eureka at times! I did enjoy it though. Even bought the DVD’s for all SG1 and SGA. I think the show has drifted since it first started. What was once a very imaginable setting, has turned into a corny joke. Some of Atlantis was Amazing but then there was the Filler episodes that were completely stupid. None the less, I think its BS they had to cancel it to have a “budget” to create SGU. They have the money! The viewers would have ensured that. I don’t see how these two separate series (considering SGU’s situation) would have conflicted story wise. I think they killed SGA because they are moving forward with a different approach, which I have to admit I like.

SGU is great!! Freakin LOVE IT, can’t wait till April 2010 when its back on. Its dark, gritty, stuff DOESNT magically go right, characters that you come to know actually die, unlike John Smith the soldier, and some people are actually unhappy because there is no magical McKay to rewire the ships computer. Thats realistic! Yes I wish there was a little bit more action in the first few episodes but I am having faith they are gaining momentum. I feel as though the show has matured and I don’t really give a crap about the 18yr old audience. They were born around the time the SG movie started it all lol. I’m 28 btw not that it matters.

I consider it this way: SG1=Batman1, Atlantis=Batman2, SGU=Batman Begins. Think about it, happy ever after stories and cars driving on the side of buildings was nicely replaced by bridge jumpers and real ninjas… hello! lol

Its a nice fresh restart of a great story that started to get a little cheesy don’t you think? Do you? Do…you? But anyways I also can’t wait for the SGA Extinction movie, hope IMDB isnt lying to me

Long Live SGU!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you Sam, but the rumor is that with the next SG1 & Atlantis movies they will be tieing in SGU into the plot and story line in a big way, in an attempt to force feed the old fans, the producers seem to think that if they put crap out there and keep it out there, that the fans will eventually eat it up.

I will watch witch ever movie come out first, and if they tie in SGU I will be quiting the franchise completely!

I wish they would cancel SGU already and just make the Atlantis Extinction movie.

To be honest, I don’t think that is ever going to happen.

I’ve stop watching this soft porn soap opera. I am a sucker for science fiction, but this one is so non-sci-fi and boring (boring even as a soap) that I have to give up watching.

I’m liking the series so far. I stopped watching Atlantis because they just made everything too easy-let the genius save everybody. It actually became a parody of itself in my opinion. This series is being more realistic-I refuse to believe that one can simply gate to a ship & figure out how to operate it instantly. Figuring out the shuttle was really pushing it.

That being said, I don’t think they can continue the frentic intense tone indefinitely. BSG couldn’t. I don’t see the series lasting beyond 3 seasons without a change in pace.

But regarding the time loop show, is it just me or did they screw up by having the team find anything other than the orb? As I understand the plot, the orb is the only thing that should’ve done the time loop, so there shouldn’t have been a skull or bodies (seen in the video). Of course, I was well into a bottle of wine when I was watching this, so perhaps I’m wrong.

This is an bad project, bad story line..For one thing it should be called destiny because it is more about that old gloomy ship and they hardly use the stargate..The characters are whinny with no real substance..The characters don’t clilck together and sex and shower scenes and watching people exercise does not equal a good series and under scores the achievements of the first two SG series.. Hope they make a series true to the Stargate name…

This show is amazingly boring. Star Gate is going down the drain.

I did not watch last week, I have quit, as I was not entertained by the show, SG1 and Atlantis were very adventurous and fun, I miss that in the franchise.

I’m going to give this show a little more time. They need to get rid of this BSG feel, IMHO, and have Eli do more genius stuff. Maybe they can have some episodes about other ships that have malfunctioned and had some type of identity crisis or something. This soap-opera crap is going to loose me if they keep it up.

If they brought Sg1 back we wouldn’t like it (at least not at first) because it wouldn’t be the show we know and love. I’m not sure about Atlantis but if the actors changed drastically it would be the same story. WE can’t help comparing that which is with what was and since we loved those shows they are hard act to follow. So we have one most of us agree misses the mark. It’s boring us to death. But could it be good? Could the mad Doctor get over himself and start teaching others what he knows of the ancients and maybe let others have a little input on things.
The kid is obviously a lazy genius. Could he be sparked to actually do more. Although I must say he has done the most so far. He hasn’t learned yet the balls are probalbly the intellegence gatherers for the ship and once they have gathered all their intellegence the ship will start doing what it needs to make the inhabitants comfortable and find places for them to explore. WE can hope they put the personal drama as secondary to the action that we know is going to happen when they start finding places to explore. SG1 had lots of personal drama it just didn’t dominate the story lines. Maybe they could find on one of their stops a person to bring life to the party. Claudia Black helped a lot After Richard Dean Anderson left. While the other actors were really great they just didn’t have that spark and she helped revive that. Cut the drama and start the action. We’re bored out here in viewer land. Save our Gate World.

Yes, this show is realy boring. I have also watched all SG1 and Atlantis and I don’t like this Stargate release. I wish to watch SG:Atlantis (Stargate: Extinction) movie instead. They should cancel Universe series and do continue Atlantis or do some more actionfull series in Stargate world.

I suspect that the ship has an AI that learns. How much they allow it to learn will set the adventure value of the show. They could have went for some short term attention by leaving the shuttle behind. Perhaps upping the drama as the star ship crew tried to make it go back. But they’ve chose to leave the audience in the dark a little longer as to how much control these people have over the ship and their lives. As you say Brenda the story is getting soapy. They risk one sector of the audience to try to interest another. Keeping people waiting for this show to payoff is kind of selfish. Maybe it would be better to let it go and watch it on rerun? Bruce will keep everyone clued in as long as we keep coming to ScreenRant right??

I watched last night at 12pm I set the recorder for it, with SG1 and Atlantis I couldnt wait and always watched it live first run,

I only watched to see if I guessed the show from the 30 second preview from last week, the ship headed for a star, disater was billed, but I immeadatly thought no just a solar recharge, yep I was spot on, the acting continues as weak and lame, lack of adventure. I cant even remember the preview for next week, so it must have been lame, I have deleted the weekly record command from my DVR. I think I am done with this show.

If I understand Anonymous Exec we can look forward to more character drama and development and the adventure can be found in this aspect of the story line. Sounds like a soap opera in space to me and except for the run in with the star we were still watching character angst of the type found on soap operas and frankly they are the most boring things on tv. I do keep watching but it reminds me of a movie I watched when I was young. I didn’t like the movie but no one spoke in it. I kept watching it to see if any one ever said anything. I keep watching this to see if it might possibly have something good in it. If it is planned as a space opera especially one as dark as BSG I think I will have to give up.. By the way The star encounter was totally predictable. It was the outcome I figured would happen. I mean what else? It was an ancient’s ship and had been flying for thousands of years. Of course it would know how to regenerate itself. Someone said the science was what is missing from this show. Well, in part, yes, but where oh where is the wit and humour of sgl and to a lesser degree sga. There is no wit, no humour and not a lot of intellegence in this series. Ho hum. Hope it gets better before I forget where it is on my tv.
