I mean, the concept of basically having timed missions to get whatever they need whilst moving on is interesting.
i saw it from another pov.... I instantly thought... it;s going to be the same thing every week, week in week out... like sg1 was in the end... same thing every week
ALL SCI FI is just about the same thing though isnt it? I hate LOST but I love LOST but it is basically the same thing all the time.
The only thing that was fresh for me was firefly and Babylon 5 but again the latter had episodes which were basically the same thing...
It will either work with tweaks or fail. It is SG so I hope it works.
No, it isnt always the same thing. What an absurd thing to say.
I mean at the route of it. There are only so many plot lines out there and each show does their own version of them all.
- The rag-tag rebel army/fleet struggles valiantly to overthrow the Evil Empire.
- The Good Guys travel through time to stop a historical Bad Guy(s)
- They Go back in time and get their name in history but do not do enough to harm it. People they work with met them when they are young and have kept it all quite till that day they come back.
- Scientists work feverishly to develop a cure for the Supervirus or a weapon to stop the Invincible Bad Guys.
- Bad Guys Capture Good guys, good Guys Escape
- New Alien or person they take in as their own, may have amazing powers and be perfect to help beat the bad guys but leaves or dies/kills themselves bust it just aint right.
- Good guys are standard in some way and survive till rescued or come up with an amazing way to escape it.
- Tech Guy fixes the unfix able
- They Find some cool new technology but it either does not work/to dangerous/gets destroyed/stolen by the enemy and then destroyed (End of show it will work though and WIN!)
- Fall in love with the hot alien
- Some Alien bug, germ, creature infects one of the main cast. The rest find the cure/solution.
- Some Semi popular cast member dies in one season
- Hospital beds!
- Secret Government Agency or Alien cult.
- Uses alien powers or cool thing to defeat the latest Enemy threat but in doing so it breaks and can never be used again.
- People connect their brains directly to computers
- A virtual reality program is activated, and the distinction between reality and the program becomes confused or indistinguishable.
- Someone kids captured and then rescued
- Earth or other planet is threatened by a natural disaster or enemy
- THE CLASSIC BORING EPISODE ABOUT THE PEOPLE JUST DOING BORING THINGS
- Kids
- Shacking up with one of the other main characters eventually or for a one off but due to some mind control or something
- Someone is taken over by something.
There is a few more but basically Every Sci-Fi Series has or would have it it was not canceled (You could class that as another one, lol) has had these episodes. Someone could probably do a big chart of TV Shows and episode numbers that are similar. (I bet a geek or two has, lol)
It is not a bad thing, I LOVE SCI-FI and I think I have given shows a shot and liked some shows people like on here do not like, but they do do the same thing at the end of the day.
