Originally by: Xen Gin God that was boring. What a boring episode, yet more whining on how she lost her Dad, and OH NO her mother is a personal friend of the president, and she's threatening to go public? Come on, why are these people being told?
It's like the second worst kept secret next to Area 51.
Her mom will likely end up dead. In previous episodes from other shows anyone who found out about the stargate was either bought to keep their silence in some form or met an untimely end. On an unrelated note, Kneel before Zod! |

I can't see how they can (attempt to) drag this on for 4 to 5 years!

It will be like Galactica. We will only technically get half a season every 10 months. They'll spread a four to five season show over seven years

Who picked the cast for this show? They are all boring *******s and don't connect with the audience. I don't care if they all get killed except for maybe the geek. And please shoot the whiny girl out an airlock with her mom tied to her ankle...
The show is doomed...

I hope they dont. I have only seen the first two episodes (gotta wait till Tuesday) but so far it is fantastic. It has what the other stargates lacked, a good story and good acting. Just like life on mars (the uk origonal) I want quality over quanity. My only two worries are that it will revert to the old style of stargate/star trek weekly adventures that are forgotten the next week or it suffers from the American need to milk it untill it loses its greatness and the writers run out of ideas (Prison Break).

Seriously? If this is what passes as a good story (the general plot is fine) and good acting for you, I believe there is a production of Macbeth as acted by the Class of 8F at your local school you may enjoy watching week after week.

Did anyone catch the most recent episode? Did you notice the montage near the end with the ****y emo music? Is this a sci-fi show or mutha****in Dawson's Creek?

Yes its great because its not the cheesy crap that was SG1 where the hero would find the mirical cure/fix in under an hour and you must watch the next week to follow the story as it progresses rather than tune in for a new story every week that has no impact upon the characters. Two episodes in and they still need to fix the air scrubbers, their only medical expert is a stressed combat medic and their supplies consist of power bars, lined paper and a box of toilet paper. Most importantly though is that they finaly got rid of those damn P90s.

Losing the P90's is unforgivable, and all that toilet paper will be used up pretty quickly if the don't stop being emo. The actors and characters (bar Eli and Rush) are all wrong, its horribly written. These are the best of the best and 12 hours in the SG personal are kicking each other over, stealing rations and, pointing guns at unarmed people and what not. It's just drama for the sake of drama, nothing else. We don't need to see 10 minutes of crying girl crying. And just because the Air condition last for three episodes, probably says what kinda stuff they are going to get into, nothing but repairs and crying drawn out over 24 episodes.

It has in abundance the thing I hated most about BSG - character squabbling.
What a bunch of self centered, moronic drama queens and emo boys.
As I answered the Cyclons question to the humans "Do you deserve to survive?" No for BSG - it's no for these guys to.
The problem with SG:U is that they are stuck with one story. Them getting carted about the universe by this ship they have no control over.
SG:SG-1 and SG:A were better than this.
Oh well ... most of the other stuff on TV is worse ... so I'll probably watch this ... it's got a space ship in it ... and just hope (ha! ha!) it gets better.
As with BSG though ... I'm just watching to see what happens. Once I know - no replay value.
With SG:SG-1 I can watch the same episodes in syndication over and over (so far eventually I'll burn out on anything) but with this and BSG - it's view once and be done with it.
I guess the big mystery now is what was in that shuttle that took off.
Maybe an ancient inhabited the body of the dead senator and is warping off to Zombie Land. Ya think?

Sadly this. It could end up having consistency and steady development, but that is in no way guaranteed yet. I still think they need to tone down the forced drama and whinage. At the bare minimum they need to reduce the time they use to portray it.
I miss the time, when people took hard and potentially deadly situations as an adventure too. Most people shouldn't do this, but there are people that enjoy those dangerous, interesting and challenging situations. Not to mention more people who would actually love working in space and visiting new worlds. I don't think it would be much of a strech, if few such people would end up working for such an experimental and high risk place like stargate control.
This would make sure, that I could pretend to be watching an exciting scifi show, instead of a standard survival drama. The survival struggle should remain a theme and used as a reason for some conflict and plot points, but not the main focus of the show. It can carry a few episodes on its own now and then, but just isn't enough in a scifi series for me.

I agree with Dest. It's just too much drama (and it's drama for the sake of drama!) and emo-age. I will still be watching it to see where it goes, but I have pretty low hopes for where it may end up at.
And yes I do realise it's an extended premier over three episodes, it still doesn't mean we like 10minutes of crying and boo-whooing per episode!
Next weeks SPOILER
[color=#FFFFFF]It seems that its a power failure next week, maybe the week after there is a sewage breakdown, the week after the cigarette smoke detectors break![/color]

Yeah seriously if she threatened that, I'm pretty sure she would disappear that night until they had resolved the whole thing.

What you described above was - SG:SG-1. It lasted 10 years and several DVD movies.
SG:A ... that had problems with the writing, the characters and the actors.
For SG:SG-1, Shanks, Tapping, Judge, Davis and Anderson were a great combination. The writing was pretty good too. They had stupid things in it ... like no vehicles to speak of ... everybody walking wherever they went ... but mostly it was pretty good. Amanda was just superb. She's frakking gorgeous! And they did the right thing by keeping that sub text between she and Anderson unfulfilled - except for that one Ground Hog day episode ... which was hilarious.
I really believe that when the producers were trying to sell the idea for SG:U one of them said "Picture this: a combination of "Voyager", "Battle Star Gallactica" and "Lost" -> (In Space!)
There's nothing original about this shows basic premise.
Now I actually like some of the characters. Rush, the Lt., the Combat Fatigued Sgt. and Math Boy (plus I got to see Amanda again). I'd like to see more of that chick the Lt. was balling.
But all the drama is just so lame.
The whole threat by the dead senator's wife was a waste of time. It is already well established that all they'd have to do was say something like ... "Sorry but it sounds like in her grief the senators widow has started channeling Worm Hole Extreme ..."
Which reminds me of the 200th SG:SG-1 episode ... that has got to be one of the funniest TV shows I have ever seen.
I'd like this show to succeed ... I really would ... but they better hope there's nothing good on the History Channel when they come on ... or that I can stay up late enough to watch the repeat ... cause this thing is losing me fast.

Others think SGA superior to the SG1, for one the cast is more interesting. Torri way more intriguing than that blond chick and there's also no McGyver.

Yes, it's a miracle SG1 was allowed to carry on as long as it did with that wooden Teal'c and cueball Hammond. That cast is a pool of rejects by comparison, on par with SGU from what we've seen so far.

The Ori arc should never have been. I know they wanted to show how good the Ancients were by showing their foil but for me it back fired. That not to say that I was rooting for the Ori but the Ancients stuck me as a group that just didnt want to take responsability for what they left behind (replicators, wraith, communication stones to the galaxy of your mortal enemy, seriously what the hell?!). They reminded me of owners of a previous house that leave all their crap for the new owners to clean up. Hopefully SGU will not have ANY acended beings what so ever.

I can't tell if I feel like the episodes should be longer, or I'm just not used to them not solving a problem every episode like the old SG series.

Unfortunately not that much happened this episode, due in part to the damn ship doing all the work.
I am calling it now, next episode they are going to whine about going towards the sun and the ship is going to use the sun to recharge it's energy somehow.

I have to admit, I liked the fact that everything didnt wrap up nice and neatly in one hour.
Characters still need work, though depending on how many episodes they shot before airing it will likely be a few weeks before we see any changes due to fan/nelson input. On an unrelated note, Kneel before Zod! |
