TV: Stargate Universe

[David75]

I do like a bunch of the characters, Eli and Young particularly, but Rush is by far my favorite on the show ^^

Yeah, since they kinda tricked Telford from becoming commander on the ship and probably hurt his pride or whatnot, he might just go to Young's wife and simply say that he is Young and sleep with her to mess up his marriage, if hes good enough at deception to pull it off.

For some reason, I think they already nutured their relationship, explaining why she was ready for sex.
After all, even if you buy the fact that the mind is her husband's, being able to have sex with another body is many steps higher.

I do not really have any favorite character yet. I still think they are way below their potential. I don't know why, maybe because the show is so young.

Summary for EP8:
Weak scenario, angst, dark.

I really hope they start making something new out of this show.


I wonder if some of you already dropped it.

I love all things Stargate, so much so that i'll keep watching this until the end!

[Lucifus]

This series thus far has been remarkably weak.
Perhaps even less entertaining than Atlantis.....

What on earth convinced these writers to do away with the gold that was SG-1?

[Penner]

What on earth convinced these writers to do away with the gold that was SG-1?

That i completely agree with.

[Archangel]

Lol, it's pretty funny to watch the twists and turns they have to come up with since they have a limited supply of canon fooder

[Inazuma]

This show can't surprise me, the plot are obvious, and/or reused.
We need firefights, good lines, humor, unpredictable twists, alien tech whoopas guns, ....

Not just survivor in space.

I also had a problem with Rush's reason for choosing the path of Destiny. It seems he was seeking ascension.
But why in the world would he choose the 9th chevron for that, when in SG1 we've had eps covering that and even found a planet with everything needed to escalate the last few steps to ascension.
He has documents, mission reports and so on. So why?

I even think he knew about Destiny, probably its old age and purpose.
Destiny is so old that the Ancients didn't even care about it anymore, having evolved so much they did not care for that old debris... and ascended in the while as it has been stated in a previous ep, making the goal of the debris uninterresting.

For some reason, the authors cornered themselves and clearly stated that... or they have something up their sleeves, but they'd better be quick.

I was wondering how good the ratings are for the show, especially the last 3 eps, compared to the premiere.

[David75]

Some character depth this week, more interresting societal problems and interactions.
It's very important to immerse into any fiction world.

Eventhough it shouldn't be my prefered ep, because it's "only" a mandatory technical episode, it was decent and nice. It had a touch of its own, clearly drawing the line beetween SGU and SG-1/SGA.
I hope then can start from there and create breathtaking and mind blowing eps.

[Archangel]

Seems fairly obvious that Rush will come back eventually one way or the other, probably via that alien ship

The commander is definitely not the leading type, the guy is a fucking psycho

[Logrus]

Was thinking the same. That alien ship probably has a hyperdriver faster then FTL (what does that stand for btw?).

Im still confused as to the direction of the show since i heard they wanted to focus on space battles but so far its been sci-fi Survivor

[Assassin]

FTL = Faster Than Light

Yes, its obvious Rush will come back, and i hope he brings some alien tech with him. Stargate is not Stargate without kool alien technology and stuff.

I can't believe a show where you have the crew stuck on an alien ship exploring the universe has so little universe exploration in it. We need less human drama and more sci-fi.

[Penner]

Yeah! Now i want to see Rush going all survivorman on that planet and fix that ship up and eventually meet up with the other ship and shove that in their faces, but i fear that we might not even get to see any more of Rush until he appears as a surprise in some future episode, and then we might get to see what happened to him in flashback form...

But i hope we get to see what he does, either in every episode or they can alternate between one ep about the crew then one about Rush and his antics ^_^

[David75]

Episode 11 is to be aired in April 2010 from what SyFy tells.

That's a hell of a long wait...
There are some mild spoilers about what's to come, but as it's in line with what the show should be (and have not yet started to show...), I wouldn't really call that spoilers.

[Archangel]

I wouldn't care that much if the show got canceled even before that... so far this has just been another textbook science fiction show trying to ride the tail of the original SG-1

[Penner]

SyFy Renews Stargate Universe and Sanctuary

Since i watch, and like, both shows, my reaction to reading that title was 'Fuck yes"

Tho i don't have time to read the actual article itself at the moment, gotta go to work, *siiigh*

[Kusanagi]

SGU is back and a new episode is out. I liked it and even though its a TV show, it was DAMN convenient how Rush came back. Had a couple of funny lines in the beginning and the end was nice too.

[Assassin]

The ep overall wasn't too bad, but there were some fairly lame parts as you mentioned.....but what annoys me the most is the idiotic character dialogue and reactions. Namely the asian chicks accusation that the colonel fucked with the communication stones on purpose to keep her from making her report. Are we really expected to believe that she is so incredibly stupid as to not realize he couldn't have 'planned' on making the person who took over his body act crazy?

I know the writers are better then this, and making a serious space drama while having such weak, one dimensional characters will only hurt the show......Dont fuck with my SG you assholes.

[David75]

Eliminate Rush press 1
Eliminate Young press 2

This is becoming more and more a sci-fi revamped version of Survivor.

Even the new race was underwhelming. I wish they were smarter as their technological development would suggest.

[Archangel]

I'm dropping this, the character's are all so damn flawed and the whole concept is idiotic
