It’s about people stuck on a space shit it should be exciting interesting, not boring. every time I watch it they are either arguing or looking for the one who will stab them in the back, not from out side but within the group.

they say this is not star gate to bloody right it’s not

but

most of what others wrote about it is sadly true, the series tries to be Battlestar Galactica with unnecessary or unrelated sex, the soldier guy who seems to have sex since the pilot looks to me like somekind of rabbit commando, and the shaking camera makes my head hurt, it actually makes me sea sick from watching and I start to hate the series just because of this, without the drunken camera it would actually might be decent

as I mentioned I like a few things others criticize, Eli as example is the only character that is similar to the other Stargate series characters of SG-1 and Atlantis atleast in spirit, having his own little wacky character bugs and as a gamer nerd having his first love is fun to see, on the other hand, the little princess girl of the senator is only looking nice until now and didn't really do much to make the audience like her, especially since she became the sex doll of Mr. Rabbit Commando

I do not like the character Rush neither, as others, but at the same time I realize that he was MEANT to be hated/disliked. Sadly I think most of the characters we will only get to know in 5-10 more episodes later, or about the time the Destiny reaches the place where the other Ancient ship – the one before theirs – traveled to.

I guess Rush has more to offer, but the prodcers keep too many secrets at the same time about the characters, so we are stuck with knowing noone (except Eli), trusting noone, and feeling nothing at all about the people, even if they die or get shot or whatever. It is like watching unknown people die on TV news, we just think “not my problem”. This is a disaster for a series.

The creators of SGU messed up big time in what others also pointed out by now: No connection to most of the characters, not even symphaty, this part actually feels as if it was a try to imitate Lost and died trying.

I like Eli because he is just as the watchers of this series, eager to try something new and great he joined the SGU team and then got thrown right into the middle of this chaotic mess where you do not find your own place. Without him, I think I would not watch the series anymore.

To point out: I liked Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and other series this seems to have been cloned from using some bad DNS using radiation and duct tape, and I also watched every single episode of all the Stargate related episode or movie until now, so I do not talk as a sim ple Stargate fan, but as a TV fan.

Without some quick changes to the pace of this series, the stop to the shaking camera, the true introduction of the characters, and making the mood more similar to what the Stargate franchise is really about, I do not give the series more than 3 years.

Yes 3, 3 because one is sure to happen, second is already in works I bet, and the wrath of the fans (not just Stargate but all of TV) is thus likely to hit SGU on its thrid year.

SG-1 was long, really long and people liked it, then came Atlantis, it was also liked but only got about half the lifetime SG-1 had, now if nothing changes about SGU, I give it about half the time of existence Atlantis had.

Maybe a few people didn't like that the style of Stargate remained the same for this long, but then again, the style of Star Wars was also not changed without a loss in fans and support, and without complains. If Stargate was good as it was until now, why change it? The formula worked, right?

SGU tries to improve the antidote for an illness but utterly fails and made it into a deadly poison instead. The last question that remains is:

Will there be survivors after taking the poison who became immune as a side-effect to the illness aswell, or is the poison just killing everyone quicker than the illness itself?

PS: I do not post usually about series ön the internet, but I did it this time because I WANT SGU to succeed, but it does not seem to be the case because design failures, I hope that my thoughts might be considered by a few people who have a say in this matter when they look for comments over the episode browsing the net, and change the course of this Titanic in time, before it hits the ice.

If you have thoughts on my post what you wish to share with me just e-mail me as I don't think I will look later into this thread. jorian@freemail.hu

Thanks you for taking your time to read my mumbling :)

When you make a copy of a copy, you are going to lose quality. If they were going to use the name Stargate, they should have not made these changes, some good and some awful, too quickly.

BTW, what’s up with 10 episodes. I thought Season 1 was 20 epiodes.

Here are some basic and essential rules to creat a good and real stargate show :
1. Sex scenes can only be used with style, the sheppard’s way, not the grey’s anatomy way.
2. Imagine and show some actual bad guys (goa’ulds, wraiths…).
3. Make Jack O’Neill play sometimes (it’s apparently not enough!).

PS : I’m not even from the States. I’m from Europe. And my friends too don’t like this show. Such a shame. Such a waste!

Merci. Au revoir.

PLEASE CORRECT THE TITLE .BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO WATCH SCIFI STARGATE!!
