The New Stargate Universe Thread

April??
US mid-season break truely had turned into utter randomness now.

Seems they air from Oct-dec, then skip 3 months then air again for 3 months. If S2 starts Oct, then it's break will be similar if not shorter than the mid-season break.

They should just call them miniseries, and release 10 episodes at a time.
 
the long break is due to the winter olympics in vancouver but for some reason a lot of the other shows like Bones and NCIS are coming back on the air for a few episodes before the olympics starts so don't understand why they don't follow suit
 
There were a few good episodes, i liked the first three and the last one but the others felt kinda formulated. If the next half of the series is as good as episode 10 then it will be great. Although, this is coming from a person who hasn't watched that many SGs previously, and the series is aimed at newcomers.
 
Im definitely looking forward to the next episode as the ships going to be thrust into a space battle.

Im thinking (and hoping) that now that the first half of the season is out of the way, allot of the dull episodes like finding food, water etc. Looking at the plot summaries/snippets for the next few episodes they definitely looks allot more interesting and eventful.

I strongly doubt it.

The tempo and storylines are now set for this series and if you enjoyed the first half of the season, then you will almost certainly like the 2nd half. If you hated the first half then you will probably continue to hate the show.

Unless there is a change in story-writers, I can't see why/how the storylines are suddenly going to change direction, dramatically, which is what, I think, you want.

In fairness, if you want an all-action stargate series, then SG1 and Atlantis would've been your thing. For whatever reason, those 2 shows were cancelled in favour of a show which has a slower in pace and concentrates more on the characters as opposed to the space battles and the cliched baddies. If they wanted to continue along the lines of an all action show, they probably would never had cancelled SG1 or Atlantis.

But who knows these things for sure...
 
Looking forward to its return, not sure i should have watched that trailer though as it contains a few spoilers but then i knew it would, looks like its going to improve! :D

Bit of an assumption to make, ill reserve judgement til the episodes have aired tbh

Not really i enjoyed the first half of the season. As ive only watched the first half again ill reserve judgement until the latter half has aired, and speaking of writers several new writer/producers have been hired for the second season

In fairness, if you want an all-action stargate series, then SG1 and Atlantis would've been your thing.
Already watched all of SG1 and SGA and loved both :) Never said i wanted SGU to be an action show, just more eventful in regards to the ship/exploration which seems to be the case with a few of the episode summaries ive seen

For whatever reason, those 2 shows were cancelled in favour of a show which has a slower in pace and concentrates more on the characters as opposed to the space battles and the cliched baddies.
SG1 ended long before SGU even went into production, and its never been oficially stated that atlantis was cancelled to make way for sgu, it's all just speculation :) Recession/Ratings were a more likely cause for the cancellation with SGA. Also, the fact that MGM who own the various Stargate series and are in quite a bit of debt most definitely affected that decision to

If they wanted to continue along the lines of an all action show, they probably would never had cancelled SG1 or Atlantis.
See my last point

What's this Stargate Universe, is it a new show? I remember seeing something about it on the tv ages ago but can't remember it now :p


I must say though that the trailer does make the second half look interesting.

Atlantis was pulled and they introduced us to Stargate Universe. Many people didnt like the first half of the season and hoping that the second half picks up. My own take is that the show will continue in the same vein.

Take note that the trailers will make the show feel very very exciting. This is what trailers are there for. Even the most boring TV shows/movies will have fantastic trailers to advertise them - a good trailer means very little.

I for one am a fan of all stargate series, so will continue watching the show, unless it gets really bad. I have enjoyed some of the episodes and as "background viewing" this show works fine.
