Stargate Universe

[long_time_DNC]

The intro last night gave me the impression that this show is trying to be three other shows: it's trying to be Stargate-ish (and we all know it's not doing too well at that), it's trying to be BSG and it definitely shouldn't be attempting that, and it reminded me a little of Miami Vice early on...another thing it shouldn't attempt. Stargate was best at being what it was.

Chloe has burned a lot of her credibility with two people (maybe more) in last night's episode. Ming Na's character never had any cred to burn.

Yeah, and then there's this:

Spoiler

If the blue aliens didn't outright plan on intending to send Chloe and Rush back, why implant a tracking device in Rush's chest? Something just doesn't add up there, yet.

These writers did SG1 and SGA good, but with the suits forcing SGA out (costs) and wanting to try to grab the BSG fans have really screwed the pooch on this show. I agree with the spoiler...

 

[long_time_DNC]

I agree, these writers did SG1/SGA good, but the Syfy suits shouldn't have messed with the concept, especially when Caprica should grab the BSG fans. All they ended up doing was hosing up a good idea and forcing out a good show...

Last night i deleted SGU before I finished watching the episode and removed it from my timers list. This show never had any promise, but at least I thought it would develop into some innocuous mildly entertaining action show. No such luck. SGU took the worst parts of BSG (which I hated in the first place) and mated it with some scraps of paper found at the bottom of Aaron Sorkin's waste basket to form the worst, least interesting and least credible political intrigue ever put on screen during what is supposed to be a fun romp through the galaxy in a shoot-em-up light-hearted sci-fi program. Anything that made the previous SG series a success was sucked out and a dark brooding, scheming wet blanket was thrown over the franchise. What a shame.

I realized why I don't like Rush -- he is the spitting image of The Dragon Slayer.

No Dragon Slayer ethics or nobility though...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Definitely lacking all ethics...

Yeah, but he is equally annoying. Still haven't watched this week's episode. I started it, but decided to wait until I was in a better mood.

I keep watching the silly show in hopes that eventually it will improve...

The problem is that they do not go anywhere. They are stuck on that ship. At least next week the previews show they go to a planet. Maybe something interesting for once.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Mood's a thing cattle and love-play...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I would have just shot Rush. That would have eliminated the problem.

At another forum someone said if they only had one bullet, shoot Wray with Rush behind (or vice versa) and hope the bullet got both

Yeah, that would have been good. I would not have let her off in the end the way young did. And Young is wrong, its not that he shouldn't have left him; he should have made sure he was DEAD!

I actually enjoyed the episode; and next week's looks good - even if it looks like they are going to "Risa."

 

[dfergie]

The last 2 have actually had something that interested me, even if last night I wanted to just kill all the Civilians with Rush, Wray and even Chloe getting lead...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Which is why, if that nice planet turns out to be okay next week, I'd let anyone (most of the civilians) and anyone else that wanted to stay and take those that wanted to go and get the heck outta there. Let Wray run the colony...

 

[abaway]

What are you all talking about? Rush is my farourite character. I can't stand Young.

You are probably the only one.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

You are probably the only one.

Yeah, on the planet.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Or any other...
