Hmmm . . . Alice . . . everything is derivative, I guess, some more unabashedly than others . . . . and some more appropriately than others . . . .

I agree, Kate has to go, I don’t like her. But, as far as I’m concerned, Christopher Heyerdahl is welcome to play in Twilight as long as he wishes and to leave Sanctuary (and especially Helen) alone. Their relationship would be a very big mistake, Helen and Nikola are a much better choice for a couple, I mean John was a killer, I still don’t trust him. The tension between Helen and Nikola is alomost…electric if you know what I mean. They HAVE to be together. I’m sorry that Niko is a little too obsessed with reviving his kind, but maybe after this failed experiment he will come around…he is too good to be bad if you know what I mean…

Alice looks like another attempt of someone who thinks he can write better than the original – always a bad sign. Not being much into fantasy, I’ll ignore it, despite the good cast.

Sanctuary is OK, but I predict Kate is a one season character. They made a mistake trading Emilie Ullerup for Agam Darshi. Tesla is a great character – but I’m waiting for Druitt to come back into the picture. They need to pursue Magnus’ and Druitt’s relationship. Nice to see Michael Shanks on the show, though.

@Michael, yeah I don’t know about Alice. It looks kind of charmless from the ads so far but who knows.

@James

You’re right James, I have had a lot to say about seeing a once great franchise destroyed because TPTB decided that they wanted to write a Soap Saga about people having sex and backstabbing each other. It’s their choice, just like it’s your choice to watch it.

As you may recall from our last exchange, I said that I recently stopped watching because of how bad the show is for me. Maybe you are also right about me giving it too many chances by watching episodes that I have expressed opinions about. I, unlike some of the women on SGU, am not wallpaper. So forgive me for not shutting up about my dislike of the show. I will continue to voice my opinions if I choose to.

As for the show getting more seasons, it might. That may even be likely since Syfy appears to believe they need SGU. Soap Operas have a history of running as long as decades. I wouldn’t be surprised if SGU got renewed for seasons 2, 3, 4, etc.

I hope they can turn SGU around, I have watched it since it started all 8 episodes and now they are going to take a break, since the show was produced a year ago, I can’t see them changing it much…I just don’t understand the stones, why are we getting episodes about earth, but they are not using the stones to put, O’neal, Jackson, McKay, or anyone that understands acient technoligy to help them out.

I also can’t believe that they are alowed to leave the base go and talk to anyone they want, when this is suppose to be covert ops tpe situation.

Well, hm. Alice might be interesting… but barely. SGU is an absolute trainwreck, a therapist’s wet dream of people standing around yapping about their emotions, with no one capable of actually dreaming or having principles beyond their own greed. Like BSG re-imagining before it, there are no redeemable characters, not even sympathetic characters, to root for — you could literally completely wipe out the cast and start over with a 100% new cast and I would actually be MORE interested.
Way to go, SyFy, since I watched all the prior Stargates… but not this dreck.

@Morena
For someone who hates the show and doesn’t watch you seem to always have a lot to say. If you dont like it just leave, its that that saying if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say it at all. SGU is doing quite well and has held its viewers since the premiere and theres no doubt in my mind we will see a season 2… hell it will probably go to 4+ seasons. Anyways I look forward to the new SGU episode as always.

See you in the new year, maybe, Syfy… nothing on in December for me to watch.

I’m glad I’m not watching Universe anymore if they’re going to bring back the “Survivor” theme that was very unwanted by many on the Atlantis show. So the producer tribe has spoken, and now someone has been voted off of the show. A tribal council will decide if Young will lose his leadership position, or be found guilty of a crime (my guess is no on both counts).

Who will have immunity? Who will backstab whom? Who will win the challenge of the week to possibly get more food rations? What new alliances will form? This may work well for reality TV, but I never liked it in the Stargate world. No thanks.

Murder!? On the Destiny!? It’s kind of like a twisted version of the Love Boat.

For a moment I thought you wrote “Stargate Universe FAIL finale” *g*

Well, the synopsis sounds interesting – too bad we know its going to devolve into people sitting around talking about their feelings.
