Songs on SGU - Good or Bad?

[Lightning Ducj]

Since my tastes tend toward fusion jazz and progressive rock, 'like' or 'dislike' are probably not appropriate terms for the music, especially the ending. However I will say that I think it was....fitting

Open mindness, so great to see. I mean, I'm a metal, prog rock and fusion jazz fan myself and I really do not think much of folk music, but this song, in this context, was perfect. Alone? Not that good tho...

"no air" would have been a more appropriate song in the end. lol

[Saquist]

At the end of "Air, Part 3," Joel Goldsmith's soundtrack switched to a contemporary song, one which certainly meshed well with the theme of needing air to survive. I have mixed feelings on this departure from the Stargate norm, but what do you think; should the show start using modern songs that would be played on the radio?

I don't see it sir.
It would seem more in place than say on a Star Trek series that is a completely different period of time. Stargate is still our time.

[Confessor Rahl]

Teen angst come on the song by Alexi Murdoch is brilliant and fits perfect into the overall theme of the episode.

Hah hah hah, awesome. "Oh come on, it totally fits!" Good argument there guido!

Ah but they all got air....or is it...HAIR! lol

I crack me up.

[Helio]

My only gripe was the timing. It seemed a victim of the need to trim it down to the allotted time frame, and when I saw it, it wasn't by that much, it was only slightly jarring; maybe frame shaving was done? Oh well, nature of episodic television.

Yeah I think this is part of the "younger" kind of approach they're going for. The integration of this type of music is in tone with other series that are running at the same type of audience.

I don't think they're looking at "teens" but certainly < 35's!

Either case, I don't mind it...

What the hell was that crappy song at the end all about? Come on i know SGU is more drama based but its Not One tree Hill or The O.C.

Just to Add the song wasnt crap (bit depressing) but it shudnt have been there also im a fan of both OTH and O.C.

Plz no more of this teen drama crap, if i want it ill watch OTH.

Its Sci-fi after all.

[jelgate]

First of all for it to be a teen drama it has to have teen characters. The youngest characters are in their mid 20s. Second by the very nature of the science fiction defintion SGU is sci-fi. And finally different genres of story telling do overlap

[Jimmylad89]

yeah but in most teen dramas after a sad event they play depressing music which in my opinion shudnt be used in the SG franchise, drama or not and i didnt call SGU a teen drama, i just dnt like the way they used teen drama technique in the end. also i note that it is Sci-fi.

This is teen drama? really? Have you seen teen drama?
Watch NCIS, you can tell I am a big fan of it.
Firefly, SGU's model
The Closer, great detective show
Scrubs, Silly comedy plus drama
Tyler Perry's house of Payne, Great sitcom

I actually felt that the song was uplifting, I mean it was a happy ending.

[Avenger]

Warehouse 13 used a couple of songs at the end of episodes extremely well.

I know what you mean...the music gave it the final shove into "teen soap land" for me!

I never sed it was a teen drama and yes i watch teen dramas
NCIS is just about to start or start a new season in the UK so i havent watch it
Firefly, i own it on dvd and love it and wish there was more seasons
the closer, never heard of it
Scrubs, ****e (im a massive comedy fan but this comedy was about as funny as a car crash)
And the last one never heard of it again


And i enjoyed the song but thought it shudnt be there it reminds me of a sad ending from OTH or O.C.
