Just because there's a lot of focus on characters, doesn't mean it's automatically deep, or good. Characters can be done superbly (i.e. The Wire, Oz, ...) and then not so well.
Me, I'm ALL for character development, seeing them fleshed out and watching them grow. But A) this needs to be done through various situations, not them being their own fodder, and B) it needs to happen gradually to be believable.
A lot of people criticising SGU aren't saying 'Shield me from the characters, I want to know nothing about them whatsoever'. They're saying 'Shield me from these characters because they are done poorly and thus I don't care about them'.

<snipped for space>
I did not say the older demo was turned off... TPTB have said they prefer the 18 to 34 demo because the main demo for sga & sg1 was too old. yes it is obvious some older people like it...but that is not what TPTB wanted...they want younger people! therefore according to them...over 40 is too old!

Now, back on topic... which is SGU and our opinions on it. I kinda like Eli - he reminds me of my brother but much geekier.Last edited by Deevil; 04 December 2009, 05:10 AM.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

My thing with Eli is that he really does remind me of my brother, who I happen to adore... so I tend to look past the little puppy love. Thankfully that's kinda been cut back a bit, or at least I think so...Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

Rabbits in tights? you are a little mad, I fear.
