Dog-hairstyle, skewed nose, small chin, small lips, huge forehead (to harbor the 300 IQ, forssure).

Ain't no beauty. Then again, I'm biased towards the other gender so I could be wrong.

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
Anyone saying it's Stargate: Voyager never gave it a proper look. I'm not aiming this at you, PsychoLandlord, but I heard this statement before from some other people, and indeed on paper it does sound like it. When you get right down to actually watching the show you see that it has really nothing in common with Voyager other than the fact that both crew are lost in space a very long way from home. This is where the similarities end; plus, Voyager hardly invented the concept of Lost in Space - it just used it. Poorly, I might add ;)

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
Yeah, like I said before, I kinda regret not giving it a chance. Part of it was also my irrational hatred of the other two Stargate TV series, though I've always loved the movie, and the series did kinda begin to grow on me as I caught reruns.

Stargate tends to do that a lot. The two series before Universe were pretty lighthearted.. but there's something inherently cool about a sci fi that doesn't take itself too seriously :) That said Universe went in a completely different direction which is, I guess, why a lot of sg-1 and atlantis fans never accepted it, as I guess they expected more of the same. Whatever the case, for me Universe worked and I'm sad to see it axed.

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
Sometime in early May, a great crime will be committed. A crime that I will see coming. A crime that I will be powerless to stop. It will echo with me for years, and then its absence will strike me even harder. I can safely say that the day the very final newly produced episode of Stargate is aired, a part of me will die. A small part, but an important one. The crime, the murder of that part of me I hold so dear, shall go unpunished.

I curse the name SyFy. Now and forever, may it cursed.


On another note, latest episode was pretty awesome. Hopefully they'll keep developing the Lucian Alliance threat to Earth. It's a really interesting perspective to be on the outside of things looking in. Plus, it was awesome that they managed to get the original Feretti back.

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
A bit ot, it would be awesome if someone started a channel called "the real sci fi". Would sit so well after the name change to syfy, plus all the wrestling and cancellations that pretty much defined syfy lately.

The reason I personally didn't accept it was because it was crap, not because it went in a different direction. For example - I can relate to much deeper and complex characters if I have a reason to.

However, making them cry doesn't make me care about them. Making them cry every single episode makes me hate them. Showing no signs of stopping their crying makes me stop watching the program. Basically, crying is not a substitute for dialogue or action. They tried substituting both with crying, and it didn't work.

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
tv in general has gone down the ****ter. as it stands once sgu goes i wont need a tv anymore, except maybe to watch doctor who on pbs (yes, i said it, pb ****ing s). sgu aint battlestar and it aint firefly, but it aint exactly what i call crap. when it comes right down to it id rather watch reruns from old shows i used to watch than see thim fill in every timeslot with reality shows, bad movies, and wrestling.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: New Stargate: Stargate Universe
o7, SGU.

It was real.

It would've been the best Stargate. Looking back, I think, all in all, it was the best Stargate, once it found its feet. And it was something unique in televised science fiction: way out there, playing with blue supergiants and black holes, but still grounded and naturalistic, paying homage to real science and shirking the old standby tropes of bumpy-headed aliens.

Sure, the first season was rocky; but so was the first season of SG-1 or TNG. The effects, the scripts, the cast, they all clicked so perfectly, especially after the second season break. Even the set design was on point.

What a shame to see this go. But at least it went out at the top of its game.
