I'm SOOO glad I'm completely unable to compare SGU to BSG

I don't agree with the critical acclaim and it definitely doesn't match the actual numbers, but it's there regardless and it's gonna happen until something better comes along with the same or more critical success.

Good God, everybody’s having sex on this show.” That was my reaction about halfway into the new trailer for Stargate Universe that is being shown at Comic-Con ‘09. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is the same trailer the Stargate Universe panel will also be showing. The trailer runs pretty long, and gives you a good idea of how they’re approaching the show. I must admit, there are parts of it that looked better than I had anticipated (I like the flying orb-camera they discover, which allows them to dictate their thoughts like they’re on a reality show or something) though there are other parts where my original fears that this is little more than a bad attempt to turn the Stargate franchise into a Battlestar Galactica clone seemed, well, justified.

Take a look at what else he's written on the show; you'll get an idea what he thinks of it and the style with which he writes; total sensationalist.

Great. “Darker, sexier, more character-driven story”. Why don’t they just come out and say, “We’re trying to ride the coattails of Battlestar Galactica.” Sheesh. The more I see and hear about this show, the more I realize I might not like it. And me not liking a Stargate show is, well, it’s gonna be a first, I’ll tell you that.

Lots of humor but also a lot of dark/compelling stuff. Fantastic show. I think it's fair to compare SGU to that one. Although, I doubt SGU will be as crazy and 'out there' with it's humor as Farscape was.sigpic

Nice to hear from actual Farscape fans though, as the BSG comparisons have gotten so old (and I liked BSG).

And they have. I don't think SGU will be like BSG at all. Doesn't seem to be what they're going for with it. People just latch onto some of the things TPTB and the SyFy people have said about it and Never. Let. Go.sigpic
