My wife and I watched “Stargate SG-1″ religiously.
Religiously?!?
I sorta kinda got into “Stargate Atlantis” after a while.
Now we have “Stargate Universe”. Great concept. And some friends said to check it out it’s pretty good.
This weekend I watched all the episodes of “Stargate Universe” available online.
Sorry but I was disappointed. It has some good points. Concept. Special effects. Creative story devices. Some of the characters are interesting. But the end result is dreary depressing and most importantly boring. Found that after the first 10 minutes or so I would be looking at something else while the episode continued to play. Part of what made “Stargate SG-1″ work so well was the moments of humor. Oh sure plenty of drama and action anger and sadness. But even the most miserable “oh man we are so gonna die horribly at the hands of the Goa’uld” episodes had some humor to lighten the emotional load. “Stargate Universe” so far as I can tell does not. And no Eli the uber-geek does not quite cut it.
Although I have to admit now that Rush has been marooned on a desert planet…
Sorry. As loyal as I am to the “Stargate” brand just cannot stay with this one.
