SGU struck me as wanting to be BSG and/or FarScape and not being as good as either.

And all that relationship crap...yaaaaaaaaawn.

this should be the galactic background for Andromeda

well id ditch the part about earth being destroyed its a downer
just have the gate locked til they find a key
and the only way to find the key is to gain the trust of the naked people

yeah if I had to describe SGU's atmosphere in one word, the word "parochial" would come to mind...

I had a bad feeling about that ever since they announced it. It seemed to be a cop out for lack of inspiration regarding the global politics, even though a lot of interesting storylines remained to be resolved without falling into the trap of introducing yet another bigger big bad. For example the revelation of the stargate program on earth and its fallout, the Jaffa coalition and Lucian Alliance each consolidating their gains. Pissed off/opportunistic remnants of the Ori armies could also still be roaming the galaxy, as well as the replicators or tenacious wraith (they could easily try to establish beachheads through dialing stargates in the milky way then start constructing their organic ships here, those start out very small after all...). Basically earth is one major planet with a few powerful ancient trinkets and the ancient and asgard databases which have barely been turned from theoretic research into applicable technologies. I find the fact that the stargate writers did not consider it interesting enough to create a new show surrounding the fact that other factions could also get their hands on ancient trinkets or the ancient's or the asgard's databases and therefor starting to cancel out this advantage while having a large territorial and numerical superiority over earth to be pretty sad.

"For example the revelation of the stargate program on earth and its fallout"
Did not happen at any time.

Forums shortened the link The Yell. Doesn't show anything when clicked

and if you want a view of her tata's her real name is Julia P Anderson. Or at least she used that last name when she did some movie that had her topless

that ginger lucian alliance girl also has some nice nudie pics from a movie she played a stripper in...

Actually watching a bunch of civilians, politicians, and military personel have that many mental problems kinda grated on my nerves.  I enjoyed watching Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis because they worked together to solve problems, and overcome impossible odds.

But I never seen so much crap under one shows banner since The Days of Our Lives. 

A commander, who didn't want to command an important mission, who apparently cheated on his wife?

A lietenant, second in command who can't control his sexual urges to stick his dick in every girl he comes across?

A politician who attemped a CIVILIAN COUP against a military OPERATION, which was controlled by the military in the first place?

A sergeant with abandonment issues, who acts more like a Drill Sergeant, than actual non-com?

A scientist whose distraught over the death of his wife, fighting against EVERYONE on the ship, to find out to the reason behind the universe?

SERIOUSLY!?  This show has basically put together a bunch of disfunctional misfits who, even a psychatrist would have never allowed to make a team.  The only thing the show so far has done was show that these guys got some major mental problems, and that they should have all been killed in the first week aboard the ship, because they couldn't pull their crap together.

The only reason I still watch SG: Universe is because maybe...maybe, the writers of the damn show will get their crap ass together, and make a more cohesive unit of these rejects.

About the only character, the only character I feel and relate to is the GEEK!  Because he's just a normal guy, trying to understand that they are in a terrible position, and that they need to work together to get back home, and it's just not happening.  So him I can relate to.  The rest is to many mental problem storylines of people that just can't get along.  And to me, that's just gonna turn people off, and tune out of the show.  If it's ratings is going down, it's because the writers messed up by allowing so many characters to have some severe character flaws and mental problems.

I'll agree with you Key, the entire cast was too dysfunctional. It was like each episode was SGA dealing with the Geni or SG-1 with that white house guy that would ride their ass.

I always found Kolya funny because of the actor they chose to play him. The actor used to be a decent bad ass when he was younger but now he's all tubby and he's playing someone who's supposed to be bad ass like he was when he was younger and in shape

sci fi love cancelling good shows *cough* Firefly *cough*
