Kinda like BSG?

[KEK]

Bar shoe-horning heavy-handed political rhetoric into scifi, I cant think of anything that BSG was better at.

In BSG, I felt sympathy for the characters. Of course, this could all be attributed to Mary McDonnell, because I only cried during Laura Roslin moments, but still. I don't feel anything, except a tad bid of hunger for food, when I watch SGU, and that's only because it's late at night. But, they are both space operas, so, yeah, kinda like, if were are going by sub-genres of the Sci-Fi world.

BSG actually had noticeable plot movement.

Indeed.

And I thought we'd never agree on anything, sir.

After SGU has 4 seasons in the books, we can compare plot movement. OR we can look at the first ten episodes and see what kind of comparison there is. You know, to be fair.

[Saquist]

sgu is the pg version of bsg

it is?!

[Wildrose-Wally]

If anyone would like to say that SGU is like BSG because they both have crews trapped on a ship due to unfortunate circumstances, I'd like to point you to Star Trek: Voyager, which ended its' 7-year run before BSG even began.

Star Trek: Voyager ran from 1995 to 2001. Battlestar Galactica ran in 1978–1979.

Obviously, Voyager did indeed rip of Galactica.

In BSG, I felt sympathy for the characters.

Really? After the first season and a half I stopped watching because the characters were just so stupid, and I still just wanted the Cylons to turn up and destroy the fleet.
At lest in SGU the characters make intelligent command decisions and they don't trust the suspicious scientist. nBSG they gave the obviously shifty bloke (who talks to himself) a nuke. To sum up:
Galactica: crewed by morons
Destiny: crewed intelligent people

Yeah the only dramatical moments for me were the Roslin scenes to be honest.

[Saquist]

Oh what I saw before I kicked the show to the curb I concur with that.

lol this threads too funny... BSG is nothing like SGU... each show has different mythologys.... ok i do understand that they are in space and stuck on a ship but thats all it is.... hopefully the writers will type up a script with the word "frack" in it just to show the funny side to this thread.....

overall SGU has lost the stargate flare in my opinion.... too many shortcuts have been added in.... the communication stones for one.... i would have preferred destiny to have no contact with earth.... the writing for the stories to be less dark.... more technology being discovered and different alien species to be encountered on different planets.... maybe even some Genii or Replicators..

more technology being discovered and different alien species to be encountered on different planets.... maybe even some Genii or Replicators..

Seeing as how there stated aim was to get away from just having humans on planets and actually have some real aliens, why would they want to introduce the Genii, who apart from having nothing to do with the part of the Universe they are in, simply consist of some humans with silly hats and uniforms?

I like the concept of them dealing with each for the first year..
Initially you think this is a good idea but then it just ended up being sex or fighting and that is so tiresome.

Initially it was a good idea to have true aliens.
At this point I'll take any alien influence.
Even Gene Simmons....

CGI aliens can be ok, but its really the story behind them that is important.
