After the 10th ep, its pretty obvious who one of the main badguys is going to be | ||

No progress on the script front. In fact, I re-read the eighteen pages I have so far and hated it. Carl, who is having an equally tough time, told me about an interview he read with David Chase in which The Sopranos creator revealed that, in his many years working on television, he had met only one writer who actually enjoyed writing – and that was Stephen J. Cannell. I’ve never met Stephen J. Cannell, so I’ve met none. On the bright side, we did do some more spinning and, thanks to Brad and Rob’s frenzied back-and-forth, have worked out the series finale. Yep, it’s true. We have a definite ending for this grand adventure – but it’s one we wont’ be getting around to for a while. Today, Visual Effects Supervisor Mark Savela was in to show us temp shots for Pain, Incursion I, and Incursion II. Let’s just say that those of you yearning for space-faring action are in for a treat. | ||

Robert Carlyle is best actor in any of these series and him only makes it a reason to me to watch this. Show is not that great but beats trolling on forums . | ||

But yeah, I'm a huge fan of SG-1 and Atlantis, I love the whole Stargate ... universe, lol, as in the story and timeline, etc. And Richard Dean Anderson is so awesome. Having Macgyver as the leader of your lead squad is definitely pure win. But Stargate Universe is kind of disappointing for me. I feel there's just way too much drama for a non-drama genre and though they are original thanks to the Stargate storyline, there's still a lot of "oh this reminds me of [this] show/series/movie/story". Stargate is known for their humour, epic battles and epic situations, and ridiculously entertaining technologies... SGU has mediocre and sometimes lame humour, not really any battles, half decent situations, and interesting-but-not-that-interesting technologies. I remember reading back when they first announced SGU that they couldn't figure out how to make Earth (and SG command and their allies) more powerful cause we already have the most powerful shit in three galaxies and beaten thousands of years old technology with our 15-year old Macgyvered technology. So they're like, ok, put the SG people in a situation where we can't use our imba shit. Also SGU is missing a lot of components of Sci-Fi storytelling. It's about fighting battles of good and evil. It's about self-discovery and discovering others. It's about solving the differences among different people and building friendships with others unlike you It's about uniting the universe together. It's about discovering new technology. SGU has these but not a lot and presented poorly. However, what I do look forward to seeing is the epic "stargate manufacturing ships". That'd be awesome, cause the way of building stargates has eluded us since the beginning of SG-1. The only glimpse we got of building a stargate from scratch was that episode where Carter had some Ancient guy buy a lot of titanium off ebay and build a disposable stargate in her basement. | ||

To people that were fans of the original 2 series that watch SGU, do you like it? Do you think I should watch it or not? (I haven't read the thread yet, sorry to say, but I am going to in a bit, so if this has already been addressed sorry.) Edit: Actually, I'm afraid of SGU spoilers in this thread...are there any or am I safe? | ||

I reaaaaaallly hope it starts to pick up into something meaningful soon, cause i do like alot of the cast | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I mean how smart is it for the Civilians to try and take over the ship from the Soldiers who managed to save the Destiny in ep. 11, they attack again and the Aliens manage to board(due to the fact that they are shown coming through the Stargate in the 2nd half preview), Soldiers manage to save them and hopefully Camile Wray is killed off in the process. | ||
