Just watched this for the first time this morning (being in the UK and all)
Alas, I found it predictable and dull. To me the whole scenario on the ice world thing was far too similar to the plot of Air Part III (they go to fetch something or other... it's not by the gate... cue peril, oh someone fell down a hole in the glacier - that's never happened before in an icy scenario! Rescued in the nick of time! )
They're on a spaceship... in space. I can't think of a sci-fi series which has ever been shown that didn't have an enemy or some kind of tangible threat (an exciting one - like an alien race for example) Sure the tension is supposed to be internal - the relationships between crewmembers. But to me it's like RL... in fact, it's worse than RL - it's a soap opera
There is so much opportunity and it's being wasted with every episode I see. I was ready to love SGU and really looked forward to seeing it, but now I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to justify carrying on watching SGU.
