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 751 Views
I wish they'd bring back SG Atlantis. *NM* Bookwyrm - 17/12/2010 01:34:34 AM 303 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 320 Views
Not happening unfortunately. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 03:57:16 AM 705 Views
Might not be so unfortunate Japhy - 17/12/2010 05:11:11 AM 769 Views
That would be great. j-whitt987 - 17/12/2010 01:55:54 PM 693 Views
Just like Atlantis! Great Lord of Chaos - 17/12/2010 07:46:10 PM 809 Views
Also, that movie's probably never going to happen. Dreaded Anomaly - 17/12/2010 09:28:45 PM 640 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 735 Views
Unless some billionaire pays for it. Great Lord of Chaos - 18/12/2010 06:33:11 PM 747 Views
I highly doubt that. Chas - 17/12/2010 09:22:43 PM 702 Views
Unsurprising, but disappointing. *NM* Craig - 17/12/2010 02:08:08 AM 504 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 764 Views
I would have "officially" watched it more if they'd played nicer with Hulu. Zalis - 17/12/2010 03:59:34 AM 860 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 476 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 783 Views
Meh. Chas - 17/12/2010 09:23:20 PM 622 Views
thats the death of good Science Fiction on television imlad - 17/12/2010 11:43:11 PM 689 Views
My problem was the use of the name Stargate. MightyYT - 18/12/2010 12:18:27 AM 744 Views
Maybe they should have called it, Wormhole X-Treme? *NM* Bookwyrm - 18/12/2010 12:50:14 AM 306 Views
And the cameos of Daniel Jackson, General O'neil, Carter... nothing at all SG. Japhy - 18/12/2010 02:03:14 AM 722 Views
What constitutes a "Stargate" show? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 18/12/2010 05:24:21 AM 347 Views
A show in which they actually use the Stargate. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 18/12/2010 05:31:45 AM 329 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 310 Views
No, wait, there was that one time...! Craig - 18/12/2010 06:51:22 AM 852 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 328 Views
I wasn't disagreeing. I just love sarcasm. *NM* Craig - 19/12/2010 07:08:15 AM 511 Views
No. It's not a Stargate. MightyYT - 19/12/2010 05:48:33 PM 757 Views
Re: No. It's not a Stargate. Craig - 20/12/2010 02:14:26 AM 845 Views
isn't having Kurt Russel star in the movie campie enough?? Seriously, Kurt Russel??? eesh! imlad - 20/12/2010 06:05:37 PM 865 Views
Oddly enough, not in this particular case. Weird, huh? *NM* Craig - 20/12/2010 11:02:45 PM 460 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 804 Views
I get what you're saying. Chas - 21/12/2010 02:37:43 AM 728 Views
what are you talking about? imlad - 20/12/2010 06:03:18 PM 753 Views
Re: what are you talking about? *NM* MightyYT - 21/12/2010 12:10:22 AM 346 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 313 Views
Fringe *NM* Bored - 27/12/2010 07:41:27 PM 325 Views
It's all my fault Zach - 20/12/2010 06:11:53 PM 666 Views
would you like a list of shows to avoid? *NM* jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:59 PM 335 Views
Thats would probably be a good idea... Zach - 23/12/2010 08:55:36 PM 665 Views
I knew it was going to happen but it still pisses me off. random thoughts - 20/12/2010 10:02:40 PM 716 Views
