SG*U - Stargate Universe

[Hellcat]

So.... as I already catched your attention with the thread title

Who has seen it already?
How do you like it and are you a "classic" Stargate fan or came freshly onboard with Universe?

I, for my part, are a SG fan since the original movie, loved SG-1 and found SG-A quite well done as well.

As for my opinion on SG*U.... well.... it's not "classic" Stargate anymore, not at all, IMO you can't even try to compare SG*U to SG-1 or SG-A and when watching Universe while expecting SG-1 or SG-A being somewhat continued you'll surely be hugely disappointed.

That said, judging SG*U purly on it's own, I find it an awesome, interesting show to watch.
Sure, some things I'd like to be different (more use of the gate, more "tech" stuff and other bits) but who knows, it might come.
But the show definitaly has potential IMHO.

Today I watched episode 7 and until now I liked every episode but the 5th one - that one was just plain boring to me, but the others (esp. #7 "Earth") I enjoyed quite much.


So, any one up to some talk 'bout it?

I don't think it's bad, and I agree, it's not too much like the old Stargates.

I think that the old SG-1 with Richard Dean Anderson was the bombest SG ever. Then, Atlantis, then the "new" SG-1.

IMO the only thing they(SG-A/1 with SG-U) share are the name.

Without a doubt

IMO the only thing they(SG-A/1 with SG-U) share are the name.

And the actual gate, yes, quite right.
They are not even using the "good, old" hyperdrive, they go BSG'ish FTL now - which I find very cool, BTW (nice change IMO, esp. looking at the age of the destiny that it is likely from a pre-hyperdrive age).

But that's actually what they intended, they wanted to make something "new", mostly to attract new viewers as well.
