Stargate Universe: First Thoughts?

[Faeelin]

Anybody else watch it?

Myself, I am trying to figure out why I should care about any of these people. It seems awful.

[The Brain]

I don't know what you are talking about but yes I do find it hard to care.

[Agelastus]

Since I probably will not see it until one of the terrestrial channels picks it up in a few months, I have no opinion at the moment.

Unlike "Atlantis" however, I will probably give this one a try given the cast list.

[Josquius]

Even the synopsis makes me
Atlantis was bad enough.

Sure, Stargate never took itself seriously to begin with (which was much of its appeal) but with Atlantis...I dunno. It kind of did take itself seriously but just ended up cheap and crappy.

[Josephus]

I'm actually more of a fan of Atlantis than SG-1. And I'm mighty pissed that they ended Atlantis's run rather abruptly. Seems to me the producers had issues with Atlantis...notice how none of the Atlantis cast was a guest on SG:Universe...or is it SG:Voyager?

Nah, same old guests....even Amanda Tapping is beginning to look a bit worn.

But back to the topic...I'm a fan of the franchise so I'm looking forward to this. But yeah, the cast so far seems rather hmmmm....I guess fat computer nerd is the comic relief guy (see Tu'ulc, Rodney).

It seems rather Voyager doesn't it?

So all they're going to do is fly around and visit new planets from the Stargate on the ship? And then they're going to come across a rather nasty enemy that' destroying everybody ( see Gu'auld, Wraith), and they're gonna have to form alliances etc etc.

Been done before...but we'll see where it leads us. I do like that English actor, the guy from Trainspotting.

The original plot, from about a year ago that I heard made me think it would be beyond horrible.

Its on Hulu (having no cable I do watch some awful things for background noise).  I didn't tihnnk it was as terrible as I was expecting it to be.  All the scifi cliches are there.  I'd hope they manage to make something that doesn't suck too much.

I didn't like Atlantis.  It was boring and lacked the humor that SG1 had. 

[KRonn]

I watched it. So far I like it. I'm always hoping for more SG shows/series.   

[MadBurgerMaker]

It's alright, I guess. 

[Slargos]

I by far preferred Atlantis, and from the sound of the synopsis I don't think I'm going to catch this until it's finished at which point I can either drop it or do a marathon..

I will probably do the same.

Nah. 

You are probably right.
