"Hercules" on SG:U [assume there are spoilers, 'kay?]

It's about what you'd expect:

Staring at "Stargate SGU," one senses the folks at Syfy approached the guys who made “Stargate Atlantis” with this pitch: “‘Battlestar Galactica’ is easily the least crappy thing on the channel, but Ron Moore is one pricey writer-producer. You think you could maybe make something like that ‘Galactica’ show? The critics sure do seem to like it a lot better than your Stargate series!”

While there’s promise in the premise, the “Stargate” writers don’t demonstrate any more faculty for crafting thought-provoking drama or complex characters than they did on their old “Stargate” shows. There’s a lot of schlocky shouting for the politicians and the soldiers and a lot of unfunny shtick for the chubby civilian genius who gets trapped with the more experienced gate-jumpers. Take away the Galactican pretensions and it all seems no better or worse than the “Stargate” shows Syfy cancelled to make room for this one.

I thought you meant the mythical Hercules would end up being explained in SGU, a la Thor. I'm glad I was wrong.:lol:
 
That's funny. The Sorbo show was so long ago that I'd forgotten about it. Now I think of the TV guy at AICN.

Kind of like that Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton "Beauty And The Beast" faded out of the public consciousness after the animated Disney movie.
 
Well my mom absolutely loved the show, and along with Xena she recorded every episode on something called a "VHS Tape" :klingon:.

So I still remember it well.
