I love Sci-Fi - If I could absorb Sci-Fi though an IV I would be hooked up 24/7

Even crap Sci-Fi is good, becuase its all an escape from reality and a chance to hope and dream of an exciting future.

Maybe Nasa will send someone to Mars, I think thats gona take another lifetime of development. Sci-Fi brings the future to life now.

Looks like an impressive series visually at least. Some big bucks been spent to get this to work by the looks of things.

Only thing other than that, OMG Richard Dean Anderson has put on weight. I barely recognised him at the start there.



He does look tubby dont he!!!  Thats sitting on your hole behind a camera all day will do that to you.

Theres a continuous loop of SG1/Atlantis here if anyone is interested.

Atlantis should have gotten a couple of more seasons IMO, we never got to see more of the Pegasus Asgard.

They Piddled about with characters and character story lines being on and off though or not quite there or starting to elude to something or some new plot but then just cut it off.

So for those in the US or the TV Pirates among us what did everyone think of the first 2 parts?

For me, its certainly the darkest setting to start a new franchise, the characters are interesting, I think I would describe it as Stargate for everyone else.  I think Ill be following this one.

You can certainly see the $1M an episode budget shining through.  Even the Music score is very tastefull.

For the rest of us in the UK, the series starts tonight on Sky One.

Not good Im afraid. Its like they saw the success of BSG and how it was darker in tone and informed more about society and decided theyd like a bit of the same.

Which is all well and good if you have the writers to back it up but Universe clearly doesnt, it all came across as a bit stilted and forced.

Ill give it a few more episodes before making up my mind but Im not impressed so far.

Your not the only one comparing it to Battlestar lol.  Im not quite there yet..  

I dont think theres anything wrong with having this sort of tone and feeling or Survival, although its not quite that at the moment its more uncertainty, not knowing your place.  It is new Franchise afterall, they can do what they want with it.  Theres a few lines they have to cross before I start comparing it to BSG (IE pshycotic robots hunting them from their home) and it would certainly have to leave a few things behind from the rulebook of SG.

I am sure they will adjust based on feedback. SG1 certanly did. They were a lot more like the movie early on but quickly changed. The TV movie that was the start of Stargate SG1 has been re-done and just released apperently. Graphics have all been re-done, the music has been re-done (They used the score from the movie a lot then) and they have re-cut it to flow better. May be worth checking out as well.


This new one:
I am interested, You guys make some valid points about it, I agree but I think it has a lot of potential. If they just tune down the BG side a bit, it should be fine.

Watch the first Star Trek Next Generation, It makes me cringe, lol.

Just watched it. I think it has potential, but was pretty poor for a pilot.

IE, I didnt think much of the pilot, but the last 5 mins got me thinking "hmm, could be interesting". Spoiler below.


I mean, the concept of basically having timed missions to get whatever they need whilst moving on is interesting. It changes the formula a bit from the old exploration to survival and a good dose of conspiracyness thrown in.

I have to admit though, I do prefer Warehouse 13 to this.

Sky one had a behind the scenes after the premier, sat down with the usual producers.  Was interesting to hear that he wont make decisions based on forum feedback where naturally one person will love it and someone else would have done it differently.
