SunGodRA Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Just watched the Sky1 premier of Stargate Universe and I have to say I was not impressed. I have been an avid Stargate follower from the original film, then SG1 and SGA I cant help but feel that the writers are trying to emulate BSG (Battle Star Galactica) - by trying to make it 'Dark' and dramatic - the best thing about the previous Stargate franchise was the humour, and there was none in Universe. I just hope it gets better in the following episodes Anyway - just my thoughts... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 isn't this on hd only at the moment? was wanting to watch it but thought it was on an HD channel only Quote
SunGodRA Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 isn't this on hd only at the moment? was wanting to watch it but thought it was on an HD channel only nope - was on normal tonight, as well as HD Quote
SunGodRA Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 bugger anyone know when its repeated? it will be repeated loads on sky1 and sky2 all this week - else there are torrents available Quote
stanski Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Oh loved Stargate film and series - although missed some episodes - sounds like they are trying to make some money from Old rope! Bit like my new Knight rider thread the other week - shame sometimes they should leave stuff well alone Quote

Bit like my new Knight rider thread the other week - shame sometimes they should leave stuff well alone I am all up for a follow on series - but get it right! - not good so far, but then again i thought that about Atlantis after SG1, and that turned out to be excellent Time will tell on SGU Quote

Sarnie Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I watched both episodes tonight and yes they were very slow compared to the punchy SGA episodes, but to be fair, I think we need to give it a chance. Nothing has actually happened yet its just been setting the scene...............give it time Quote

rtbiscuit Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 yeah watching flash forward as well, am also sky + warehouse 13 as well and i'm a bit sad, but legend of the seeker as well Quote
narcotix Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I've been a major Stargate fan ever since the film ... I've seen every epioside of SG1 and SGA too! I didn't think much of the first 2 episodes of SGU either ... I particularly don't like Robert Carlyle's character ... I'm hoping it grows on me like Atlantis did after a few episodes ... I will still watch every episode regardless Quote

Gilly199 Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 just finished the first ep and well sorry to dissagree with most here but so far its amazing. But yea it is a hell of alot darker, i like it. The show has grown up a little. oh and gotta laugh at old looking fat jack Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 i'll be watching the whole series, as i'm a sucker for stargate. Quote
DavidS14 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Well ep3 is up and I think I'll stick with it for now, seem to be doing that lately with new seasons starting and other new shows. I'm currently watching, House, Supernatural, Doll House, Criminal Minds, Numbers, Dexter, Fringe, NCIS, Mad Men, Warehouse 13, The Mentalist, Lie to Me and a few others. Don't watch normal TV any more except for the news and the odd program just the above and movies Quote
cydine Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Good list m8. I'd also recommend Flashpoint and Sons of Anarchy, you should check them out. A lot of the characters in SGU are starting to irk me. I don't know if the intention of the show is to make the majority of characters unlikeable, but if it is - it's working. Quote
Sarnie Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I'm currently watching, Criminal Minds, Numbers, Dexter, NCIS, Mad Men, Warehouse 13, The Mentalist. wHEN ARE THESE ON? Quote
DavidS14 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 wHEN ARE THESE ON? I download them via usenet, the new seasons in the US started a few of weeks ago. Quote
narcotix Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Just downloaded the third installment of SGU and am about to watch it now ... Woo Hoo! Quote
