oh we'll always be bad guys. cause it's more fun to say that the viewers' tastes have changed - just like it is to keep blaming lack of promotion - than to accept that the powers that be changed the recipe of the show adn they changed it into something far less popular than it was before they got thier hands on it.
they - or if you're into conspiracy theories, scifi directed the change - don't have the handle on their viewers that they think they have. We don't have much patience for the T&A hour. We're not all that impressed with a steady diet of boobs, butts and bombs. We're easily bored with effects cause, really, we've seen them all before. We're the generation that grew up on trek and star wars and space ships in a star field....well some of us can recreate that in our basements.
What we liked was 'the little humans that could'. ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances dealing wtih things the best that they could and geting out - not with plot device of the week - but with our brains and smarts and good old fashioned luck.
we were the plucky little humans and characters that people could identify with in a real sense.
What we have now are OTT charictures and farces. an over reliance on plot device of the week and deus ex machina, an obsession with space ships and a distinct lack of original stories
They took a show that was unique in its ordinaryness, with a dependance on the coolest plot in the world...a round spinny ring that literally anyone could walk through, and turned it into a poor copy of any other space dramedy out there.
Stargate turned itno andromeda. it turned from a relatively unpredictible show to scifi by the numbers that was dumbed down so as not to tax the brain power of all involved.
Their writing killed the show. and all the revisionist history and blame game in the world won't change the fact that even the most superficial of fen can see the drastic difference in plot from s1-8 to s9&10
