Yeah integrating a problem into a video game that a gamer solves is stupid and unrealistic and it just happened like a month ago…

Way to go OP, after reading your article it was clear you were obsessing over the realistic part and didn’t pay attention to the rest of the show since you missed all the basic plot lines that they spell out for you

You can’t judge a book by its cover. Nor can you judge a series by the pilot episode. Season 2 was way more intense (lots of space battles). I wish the series was not canceled. It needs a third season.

To the guy who says that its “too soapy” and then calls it a “Drama” well what is wrong with drama? All the best shows in history were “drama,” look at what HBO does; all of their shows are dramas with the occasional comedy.

Its not a ‘soap’ clearly someone doesn’t like their characters to actually think and have emotions, just be mindless drones that move the picture forward so that the hack writers can make some kind of political left-wing statement about health-care or the Iraq war. I don’t really expect any TV to be very good at making a statement about the real world, if I want to get that then I’ll read a book or watch a well made drama film like The Pianist.

IF the basis of good TV is that it says something about the world situation then I guess the concept of entertainment becomes moot.

Also I believe the reason SGU was canceled is because all those trekkies who loved the old Stargate shows and who don’t know crap about what good TV is tried to watch it and realized it wasn’t an ordinary Stargate show then had a bitch fit.

Seriously dude, you need to relax. Have you ever seen MST3K “If you wonder how he eats and breaths and other science facts! Just keep in mind its just a show and you should really just relax!”

And if you know ANYTHING about Stargate and have actually seen the movie you should know that the Stargate program is a top-secret and no civilians are aware of its existence.

Battlestar had its good and bad things, what I hated about BSG where the overlong dramatic points where they’d zoom up on a guys head and keep it there so you can watch him think in slow motion for 5 minutes. The show was fairly entertaining though and aside from the occasional snore-fest episode I rather enjoyed it. SGU does follow a similar path of Battlestar but it is deeply rooted in the universe of Stargate.

The reason Stargate is better than the other two previous shows is because it is modern, I also like that the show is serial (regardless of whether you think they do a good job on character development or not there is still some character development… though they do need to do a better job at keeping consistent with that episodes do develop diff. characters).

What I didn’t like about the old stargate was that each episode was a stand-alone and it was kind of boring, also the graphics were so damn cheesy I couldn’t get into it. Like the Aliens in this one episode were just a bunch of naked dudes painted white; they looked like mimes.

SGU is overall a good sci-fi show and I don’t think it deserved to get canceled.

On a side note, the best sci-fi show ever is Babylon 5. Anyone who thinks that show sucks doesn’t know sci-fi.

Man the how about the next time you jump into a show, which has had 2 predacessors, you actually watch some god damn episodes. I agree with you on the proof buts it’s sci fi, what do you want? Yes they beamed Eli to the ship, which we have several of if you’ve ever seen the show (oh wait, you haven’t) and the ship brought him to Icarus; a planet thats stargate is connected to the core of the planet. And the politians daughter had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, just like Eli, and just like everyone working on the damn stargate program. Everyone is mad at Rush because he was supposed to dial Earth, not some mystery planet. You’re so unbeleivebly stupid, did you listen to anything they said? SGU FTW

Most people who watching soap opera are housewives and emotionally unstable teenagers. If you ask them>> what a star in the night sky is? they will answer ” it is shining dot that good blessed them with” . Non of them has any interest in science fiction. Then why go with soap opera? because their is more people who are watching soap opera than science fiction.

Well everyone should do like me and just cancel your cable and satelite and send a message to these morons who have ruined the reputation of an otherwise excellent series . I was able to get as far as the second show and then called my sat provider and told them the reason why I was canceling . Because of sgu . I can’t even stand to watch a commercial of the nerxt episode as it just makes me sick to my stomach to have to endure such awful writing and acting . I wish some aliens would just find them and blow the whole ship to hell and get it over with . I am shocked it went into it’s second season . What to hell is wrong with this world . Who to hell can stomach this crap .
sgu pisses me off period .
