STARGATE UNIVERSE...Looks as if it's for people who don't understand sci/fi. Has too much Battlestar Galactica moments with the dodgy camera work and over dramatised moments. I'm going to try and hang on a little as I beleive they might actually realise if they continue with it the way it is, they will loose an entire generation of stargate whatchers. If the continuing episoide is anything to go by, then each ep will be like sitting down for an hour to watch what SG1 did in 15 minutes. The cast is also looking dogy as well...It took a bit of getting usded to watching children at the controls of the enterprise in the New Star Trek movie...I was eventually won me over with the excellent recreation of the whole thing...Stargate universe seems to be lacking in a big way...It's a big gamble with all this comprimise to win over new audiances...still a litte early to call...
As for the comment on "
Not enough gratuitous sex or insanely grotesque violence
No "dumb blondes" in bikinis
No "reality TV" based moments
It involves some science (yuk, weird stuff!!!)
No banal or pathetically obvious storylines "
Go watch Battlestar Galactica...you'll get plenty of that there...less of course you want to watch the 70's series...who knows...if things keep going the way they are with Stargate, I'm sure after they ware out this one, it will have all that crap on offer the year after.
Perhaps your right about todays audiances wanting all that crap...(sarcastically so)...if your typical Sci/fi channel is anything to go by, then it would make sense. They really seem to be mixing all the genres way too much.
As stand alone movies go though...& considering my aprehension with all the BS in Sci/fi these day...It's nice to know when done right-a wider audiance can be brought togeather-The new Star Trek Movie proved that one to me.
If you liked Stargate SG1 & Atlantis-don't hold your breath in the opening scenes or following episodes-may be time to start watching re-runs with all the bells & wistles...We definatley looking into blu-ray relaeses (despite earlier productions) for the entire Stargate SG1 & Atlantis series. Whats all this talk about "Torrents" Pirate bay seems to be shut down now? Can we even discuss Torrents & the type of this site or any...or am I missing the content in which your sugesting it?
