No. It's not a Stargate. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 19/12/2010 05:48:33 PM
It doesn't have to follow the same formula as the previous two, but there is something that is Stargate that this show is not. The other two shows had the ability to make fun of themselves. There was a certain amount of camp and an attitude of not taking itself too seriously.

Universe has none of that. Instead you have people trapped on a ship...and after two season you still know next to nothing about. You have a hell of a lot of drama that focuses on Earth instead of dynamics between characters on the ship. By the end of the first season, I was ready for the Stones to be dropped completely. I noticed that more than half of the interpersonal conflicts would not have happened if people weren't sending their consciousnesses back to earth every couple of hours.

This show is just one big soap opera and one that is not done as well as BSG was. It has it's moment, but the entire first season had only one episode that is worth watching.
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

I am disapointed Roland00 - 17/12/2010 12:41:57 AM 915 Views
I wish they'd bring back SG Atlantis. *NM* Bookwyrm - 17/12/2010 01:34:34 AM 383 Views
I'm a little disappointed. I do like the show, but hopefully they'll have a satisfying conclusion. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 17/12/2010 02:00:07 AM 393 Views
Not happening unfortunately. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 03:57:16 AM 871 Views
Might not be so unfortunate Japhy - 17/12/2010 05:11:11 AM 937 Views
That would be great. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 01:55:54 PM 870 Views
Just like Atlantis! Great Lord of Chaos - 17/12/2010 07:46:10 PM 991 Views
Also, that movie's probably never going to happen. Dreaded Anomaly - 17/12/2010 09:28:45 PM 795 Views
I'm not counting on it. After all the last two that were promised have yet to see the light of day. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 11:27:39 PM 900 Views
Unless some billionaire pays for it. Great Lord of Chaos - 18/12/2010 06:33:11 PM 904 Views
I highly doubt that. Chas - 17/12/2010 09:22:43 PM 867 Views
Unsurprising, but disappointing. *NM* Craig - 17/12/2010 02:08:08 AM 599 Views
I watch. I've spent most of the day since the anouncement on the gateworld messageboard. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 03:54:38 AM 929 Views
I would have "officially" watched it more if they'd played nicer with Hulu. Zalis - 17/12/2010 03:59:34 AM 1014 Views
frak Hulu, just torrent the stuff you want to see but don't watch when it is aired *NM* imlad - 17/12/2010 11:36:13 PM 562 Views
That's why I wasn't "official." If Syfy makes it inconvenient to watch, we aren't counted. Zalis - 19/12/2010 05:42:25 AM 951 Views
Meh. Chas - 17/12/2010 09:23:20 PM 780 Views
thats the death of good Science Fiction on television imlad - 17/12/2010 11:43:11 PM 861 Views
My problem was the use of the name Stargate. MightyYT - 18/12/2010 12:18:27 AM 899 Views
Maybe they should have called it, Wormhole X-Treme? *NM* Bookwyrm - 18/12/2010 12:50:14 AM 393 Views
And the cameos of Daniel Jackson, General O'neil, Carter... nothing at all SG. Japhy - 18/12/2010 02:03:14 AM 880 Views
What constitutes a "Stargate" show? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 18/12/2010 05:24:21 AM 427 Views
A show in which they actually use the Stargate. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 18/12/2010 05:31:45 AM 430 Views
Yes, it's quite surprising they have never ever used the stargate in the show. not once. ever. *NM* Japhy - 18/12/2010 05:34:15 AM 396 Views
No, wait, there was that one time...! Craig - 18/12/2010 06:51:22 AM 1051 Views
Point is, that it's still a Stargate show, simply with a different flavour. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 19/12/2010 12:24:16 AM 409 Views
I wasn't disagreeing. I just love sarcasm. *NM* Craig - 19/12/2010 07:08:15 AM 611 Views
No. It's not a Stargate. MightyYT - 19/12/2010 05:48:33 PM 910 Views
Re: No. It's not a Stargate. Craig - 20/12/2010 02:14:26 AM 1021 Views
isn't having Kurt Russel star in the movie campie enough?? Seriously, Kurt Russel??? eesh! imlad - 20/12/2010 06:05:37 PM 1024 Views
Oddly enough, not in this particular case. Weird, huh? *NM* Craig - 20/12/2010 11:02:45 PM 558 Views
Would it help if he tricked an amnesiac Goldie Hawn into thinking she was his wife? TaskmasterJack - 21/12/2010 12:11:35 AM 974 Views
I get what you're saying. Chas - 21/12/2010 02:37:43 AM 917 Views
what are you talking about? imlad - 20/12/2010 06:03:18 PM 912 Views
Re: what are you talking about? *NM* MightyYT - 21/12/2010 12:10:22 AM 425 Views
personally, i think it was more "stargate" than the series, tonally it was more like the movie IMO *NM* imlad - 29/12/2010 01:35:51 AM 389 Views
Fringe *NM* Bored - 27/12/2010 07:41:27 PM 410 Views
It's all my fault Zach - 20/12/2010 06:11:53 PM 859 Views
would you like a list of shows to avoid? *NM* jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:59 PM 423 Views
Thats would probably be a good idea... Zach - 23/12/2010 08:55:36 PM 824 Views
I knew it was going to happen but it still pisses me off. random thoughts - 20/12/2010 10:02:40 PM 882 Views
