It's been said by Brad Wright (I think it was) that 'Conservatives killed Stargate Universe.' I'm pretty conservative (Duh. Check my screen name), and of course the reaction from the people on my side of the aisle is "What a jerk! We didn't kill Stargate! Blah blah blah! Angry! Blah blah blay! The president is a demmmeeekrat! Blah blah blah!" (I paraphrase slightly, but you get the gist). Most of the people who are recoiling in horror at this allegation, though, are people who'd already stopped watching Gate quite a while ago, most of 'em before SGU went on the air.
Thing is: The more I think on this, the more I realize Wright is probably right. My fellow conservatives probably *did* kill SGU, but probably not in the way, nor for the reasons he suggests.
There's also been allegations that SGA fans kind of refused to support the new show. Definitely there were some of those, but from my own experiences (I run a SF website), I don't think they were a significant factor.
So anyway, that's what I've got. Anyone got any opinions? Anyone still out there?
