The same with SGU. Just a full-on crappy show. Did it start to get better in the end...sure but not good.
It was a fantastic show, along with Fringe, comfortably the best sci-fi on TV, and the best sci-fi character drama in years. See! I can post opinion as fact too
Speak for yourself. I don't have any daft delusions that my like and dislike are define what is good and bad.
But I'll will give you some facts about SGU that do impact whether it was good or bad.
Air I,II, III was drawn out dry exposition that struggled to validate itself as a premiere. All of the exposition on Scott bore absolutely no relevancy to the plot or any later episode.
The writing glossed over Rush's instigation's with a statement failing to draw upon the magnitude of his arrogance of stranding them , they continued to stupidly rely on him.
They couldn't figure out how to attach an object to a Kino in order to close a DOOR on the inside of the shuttle to prevent them all from suffocating.
Afterwards the writers used much of Season One to show how the ship or random circumstances could resolve the plot instead of the characters.
Former Characters such as Jack O'Neill were re written out of their hero motif to become antagonist.
Young attempts to kill Rush by stranding him on a planet and yet when Rush reappears it's glossed over as though not important or never happened. (reset button)
Later Young asphyxiates Telford (in Youngs body) to save his life from being mind wiped yet the next episode he has the power to stop the ship from being invaded by asphyxiation but failes to do so for fear of killing Telford even though he had risked a much frailer Rush before.
I've lost count of how many different people have been "lost" and then magically make it back to the ship or the fact that these people were written in such an extremely unstable way could be justified as being apart of a super top secret international intergalactic venture. When your writing makes use of frequent plot contrivances, contradicts your premise of being a "realistic Sci Fi Drama" you've officially crossed over to bad writing. The show got what it deserved. Cancellation.
I gave it One Season. I couldn't stand the show. The plots were so forced, it wasn't even artistically done. It was flat out immoral just as a TIME FILLER. Young was a complete idiot, the arguing with Rush was just asinine. Wray was utterly irrelevant other than to complain, Cloe was useless, Greer was thug, nothing more than a walking negative stereo type of blacks. Johansen was just a a super cardboard character and I hope that does not define her acting abilities.
And Lou Diamond was horridly miscast as an antagonist when he should have been leading the team as a protagonist.
It's so sad that actors like David Blue, Carlye and Diamond weren't given scripts they could actually be great with because the show had some potential but it was never realized and it never will be. SGU was an opportunity take stargate from the story book endings to a real action drama and they screwed the pouch because they never stop writing those story book adventure endings like from SG-1 and Atlantis and when that happens it's a glaring flaw in your stated premise. Thank God its gone it was a black mark on Stargate and while fans will be fans I respect the fans that actually dared to stand up and say "NOT GOOD ENOUGH" instead of swallowing this swill willing just because the name stargate was attached. To them I say thank you for jumping ship, for getting out. For recognizing the slop and have enough self respect to speak up and tell them. I just had no idea that the execs would be this stubborn and hard headed to the end...
As such its a fitting end for them.
But the fans deserved better.
If MGM has any sense they'll dis miss JM and BW permanently and immediately retool the franchise for bigger and better things to return to the big screen.
, I say Avery Brooks shaving his head for his look, that of Hawk
