2x13 - Alliances

It happened a lot quicker with SGU than it did with SG1 or SGA

Yeah been there, done that too, that might mean something to you but not to me. It's a fantastic record overall and while it is more important to continue to tell good stories. SG1 and SGA also kept the same timeslot.

1.5 season and then canceled is a fantastic record? maybe in the alternate universe of opposite land
 
It is hard to ignore that S1 of SGU was slow and boring, thats just a fact.

It really isn't. Slow yes, but boring is simply a matter of opinion.

Yeah, it was definitely slow-paced. I didn't find it boring so much as I found a lot of the bogus conflict tedious. There were a lot of interesting ideas in S1, many of them were just poorly exploited.

I said overall I was talking about Stargate in general not just Universe.

I think the masses spoke on this one. It was definitely boring.
You can't ask a fan for that kind of objective opinion but you can look at the ratings.
 
I've loved the show. I'm sorry to see it go off the air.

And I've enjoyed the characters. Young is ill-equipped to command the mission and he's deliberately written that way as he struggles to get the job done anyway. Rush was always ambiguous, but he holds my attention completely whenever he's on screen. I'm less interested in Eli, Chloe, and Scott, but I like where they went with Chloe. And Greer is one of my favorite characters in all of the SG franchise.

The show is frequently put-down as a Battlestar: Galactica rip-off, but this show has an optimism and an element of awe and wonder Galactica and its relentless, gratuitous gloom never even approached. I just enjoyed a less heroic, less mythological take on the Stargate universe, but one that didn't reduce its characters to complete animals.

I'd love to know where they were going with Universe. That signal from the beginning of time and the nature of Destiny. I'm gonna miss the show when the final episode rolls credits.

How can you be objective about something like how 'good' a show is, which is based on personal preference and therefore inherently subjective?
