While condemning SGU before seeing it is quite silly. I find the idea that not watching it is some how impossible or incomprehensible is likewise silly. Some people are not motivated purely by franchise loyalty and there a plenty of reasons not to watch Universe. Not liking the concept of the show for example, or being dissatisfied with the quality of recent stargate productions.sigpic

Originally posted by toby1kanobi View Postthere was indeed (i say indeed so much) a lot of anger over the death of atlantis but the main furore was caused by people missreading the early concept ideas for SGU and tagging it SG90210
thankfully once more finialised detailes of the show came out a lot of the naysayers have changed there tune to "in really exited about SGU"
in some shows the fan forums can carry a lot of weight with the show makers, there was potential for the outspoken naysayers to do the show a great deal of damage even before it has a chance to show itsself.
if a writer reads forums for his or her show and sees it getting torn to shreads it can have a real impact on the quality of there input (i know some makers of other shows (UK) ((i will not name them)) who were very upset over remarks made by fans on the shows forum and it very nearly made the individual call it a day on the thing)sigpic

Seriously, if someone is against it because of SGA it's their own prerogative. It's their decision and their loss if SGU turns out to be awesome. We cannot judge them and we shouldn't say it's wrong either. And while we may not understand their reasons, it's their reasons, right, wrong, or indifferent.
Stargate is similar to Star Trek with all its many spin offs. I enjoyed the original, loved TNG, disliked DS9, lost interest in Voyager, and pretty much hated Enterprise (okay, so it just ended badly...)
In the end, people need time to mourn their lost show. The cancellation has left such a bitter taste in some people's mouths that they are a little fed up. They may get over it in time for SGU, or they may not. There will be some fallout though, and some fans will likely give up on the Stargate franchise.sigpic
Happy Holidays!

I'll give it a try but can't say I'm excited by anything I've heard about it so far. It's just going to be ordinary humans stuck on a space ship. Will we be getting more than CGI cannon fodder of the week? So far, nothing I've read suggests that. I'm not expecting to be surprised by interesting alien characters with a real history and society.sigpic

Originally posted by General Yogi Bear View PostYes the complaining about a show that hasn't even aired yet is getting a little old. But I can understand the anger. Atlantis had at least 2 more good seasons in it, maybe more. At the end of the day its all about making money so I can only assume that they would not have made a profit (MGM/SCI-FI) going for another season.
greetings LAX
ps: yes i am preaching that SGU will not be that good, but i know that i will watch at least the first episode (if it's good i will watch it further, but with good i mean really good this time, better then the first season of SGA (first one was bad IMHO))

And mocked.
Endlessly.
I only mock those who can't be bothered to find out what's going on and would rather blather on with a flimsy statement like "I feel..." as a defense.
