didn't think it was bad at all. maintained the quality at the end of the last season. the rest of the season looks promising. 9/29/2010 4:18:55 PM |

I enjoyed. Will be really interesting to see the new characters that have been added. I would guess the Alliance members that will be showing up more will be the red-headed girl, the guy who "saved" them, and the guy who was on Heroes at the end. And of course Lou Diamond is now on the ship directly. 9/29/2010 9:49:26 PM |

i thought it was pretty good too esp. for a SG series. i like the darker aspect of this series. would discussing things from the previews be considered spoilers b/c i want to talk about chloe (sp?) 9/30/2010 8:29:46 AM |

^Yea I wanted to discuss her "miraculous" healing and the preview thing as well.
**SPOILER**
Did anybody else think that everybody on the alien planet is dead and it was some sort of afterlife and thats where the baby went too, or did you think they were actually somehow physically still alive?
**END SPOILERS** 9/30/2010 8:46:21 AM |

^ Spoilers..
I'm guessing the aliens (or maybe the ship itself) have the ability to preserve your consciousness when you die. While she was on the verge of death, they held her there until her physical body pulled through. The baby died, so it stayed. They also knew where the ship was going to jump to next and showed her the nebula to send her a message.
If that's not exactly it, I would think it's close. I thought it was fairly obvious.

surprised that telford was actually left behind. I hope they show what happens to him and we don't just have to assume that he's gonezo.

Why does any kind of conventional weapons fire on an Icarus type planet set the planet to explode? Just the stupid thing I don't get about this series. Well one of them. Yet I still watch. 11/10/2010 1:36:31 PM |

Both times it exploded while the stargate was trying to draw power from the core. 11/10/2010 6:15:53 PM |
aaronian All American 3299 Posts user info edit post |
^ pretty much. the core is already pretty unstable due the power strain from the gate and the added tremors from weapons fire just destabilizes it even more.

First thing I thought they might do was power the entire ship down and act derelict to give time to figure out what was going on. That would have saved some damage I think if they did it fast enough maybe? Seems the drones reacted to movement/power sources flying around. Wouldnt have been as exciting but still. 12/1/2010 9:08:48 AM |

If those drones are any form/derivative of the Replicators, I'm done.

I never bought the whole SGU story anyhow. Still entertaining on it's own right, but the way they told the story was very much different than SG-1 and SGA, probably why old SG fans weren't diehard fans of this one. I still watched it, but I wasn't on the whole "I can't wait till the next episode" feeling like SG-1 was. I applaud them for trying to break the rule and do something new, but there's just a lot of wtf moments.
Maybe they'll do a movie after the last episodes? Or branch off yet another SG series in a different galaxy. I'm liking the idea of SG set in the distant future, like 100 years, where everything about the SGC is known and Earth starts colonizing the galaxy. 12/17/2010 6:13:02 PM |

Just finished re-watching sga back to back and really noticed that season 5 overused the word subterfuge. I was like "didn't they just used that word the previous four episodes?", stupid writers getting lazy on their vocab and endless use of cheap plot twists that are predictable. God, I forgot how bad the final episode was. Too much shit happened and a lot of unknown variables that weren't explained properly in 40 mins. I was slapping my head every 5 mins.
I honestly don't like the part of where Rush was hording the bridge to himself for like 5 episodes. I mean, wouldn't they have looked for that in the ships schematics? But the whole Lucian Alliance drama has been pretty interesting in sgu. 12/20/2010 11:00:25 PM |
Nighthawk All American 19623 Posts user info edit post |
Just caught up on the last 4 episodes and now I'm pissed to discover it got shit-canned.
And I agree, SyFy (blech) has got almost nothing good on anymore. Caprica was piss-poor in comparison to BSG, but I really enjoyed SGU. I liked the different feel and vibe of this show. SG:A was not nearly as interesting as SGU. Eureka is still good, but some of it has fallen off. Warehouse 13 I really enjoy though. And Sanctuary is okay too. But WTF with all the damn wrestling on SyFy? That has NOTHING to do with this channel and should stay on some other channel. 12/30/2010 9:57:42 PM |
Shaggy All American 17820 Posts user info edit post |
SGU suffered from alot of the same bad character writing and horrible shit subplots that caprica had.
You cant have a show with alot of bad episodes and then a few good ones and expect it to survive.

Nighthawk All American 19623 Posts user info edit post |
^True, but I would not put it on the level of being as bad as Caprica. At least SGU had a decent amount of action going on and you felt like the show was moving forward, whereas sometimes I felt like after watching Caprica that fucking nothing had happened in that whole hour. 12/31/2010 8:38:09 AM |
bbehe Burn it all down. 18402 Posts user info edit post |
Yes, I would put SGU above Caprica, especially the last half of season 2 of SGU, which was phenomenal 12/31/2010 8:49:54 AM |
Nighthawk All American 19623 Posts user info edit post |
^Agreed. At least SGU was getting good. It took a little while to establish the characters, ship, location, and was beginning to finally add some aliens and control of the ship. But now we are going to lose it.
At least with Caprica it was still just plodding along and not really improving. If anything it was getting worse, so I understood why they were shelving it. 1/2/2011 12:55:21 PM |

^Yea, but a lot more were great. I think thats the problem. The great:shit ratio was much worse on SGA and Caprica than on SG1 and BSG. 1/4/2011 3:54:00 PM |

The last 3 episodes were pretty good. It's sad the writers can't do great episodes until they're on their way out.
Anyone else watching this? I highly recommend the past 3 episodes if you haven't been... 4/25/2011 11:06:14 PM |
