I apologize in advance if a thread has been created about this before.. I used the search function. And as the title says, keep all spoilers after Air part 3 in tags please.
Watching SGU concurrently to Lost (series on ABC), I'm surprised as to how similar the shows are structurally. The characters get quickly dumped into a rapidly decaying environment (one is literal, the other figurative), where most have little experience in this sort of thing. They have no idea who they can really trust, and people could likely die at any moment.
Something that's also similar are the flashbacks (at least as of Air pt 1). They'll take time out of the episode to relive the characters' pasts.
Camera shooting styles are very much the same if I remember right also.
FYI, this isn't another one of those Stargate Galatica, or Stargate Voyager threads. I'm actually loving these similarites.
Of course, there are also a lot of differences. But I see a lot of similarities.
Any thoughts?
