... Stargate Universe
10-11PM SYFY, SEASON PREMIERE [season 2.5 premiere]
Spoiler:
Terrorism, politics, shaky camera work — the current iteration of Stargate draws more from the recent Battlestar Galactica than from its own franchise history. Everything except for BSG's heart. In its final season, this is one space opera that deserves to be put out of its misery.

Stargate Universe kicks off the final 10 episodes of its run this week, another casualty of a brutal season for genre shows. This particular example illustrates some of the potential causes. One could argue that SGU simply had too much baggage from the franchise to carry: it couldn’t break away from the old formula like it promised, or conversely, it did so at the cost of alienating longtime Stargate fans. The dilemma faces every new show that comes on: provide a reliable formula or go for broke with something truly original? Frankly, speaking, we need a lot more of the latter...
