SGU/SGA crossover

[bullethead]

^Please let Ronon show up and beat the crap out of Greer. I absolutely cannot stand Greer.

I think Greer could've been a good character if they had toned down the psycho crap like they did in Light, Justice (the sweet potato bit), and Faith ("Spirit of cooperation!"), but the writers decided to play that up way too much (it was good in Time, though, when everything was hitting the fan).

The real problem with SGU is that they seem to be hitting us over the head with certain aspects of the characters and not doing enough to flesh them out, aside from Rush, who got screwed over early in the show with two stupid scenes that only existed to make him look bad instead of morally ambiguous (which I think they were going for).

^Every time he or Young disagree with someone they just threaten them or worse. This is the worst aspect of the show - they run a ship of civilians through violence. Young gives an order and then his henchman Greer assaults anyone who disagrees.

Just like the SG-1 cameos, this seems pointless. SGU is an entirely different show to the fun Stargates of old (and an entirely worse one, IMO). Jack and co are now miserable sods in order to fit in with the BSG wannabes, and the SGA crew will have to be similarly muted too

Other than the spinning ring, SGU and SG-1/SGA have nothing in common. Why not just crossover nuBSG and TOS?

I don't think Jack has be completely muted, especially when he came to Destiny to interrogate Telford.

But he's a two or three star general now, he can't constantly be cracking jokes.

"Well, I know what makes me special."

Good point. The Missus and I have been watching our SG-1 DVDs, and the O'Neill we see on SGU is a more mature version of the guy who made me laugh constantly in the good old days of Stargate.

I like the connection to the old show, and hope to see more of him and Jackson as the new season progresses.

 

[Kpnuts]

Wow, as bad as it sometimes got, I really miss Atlantis.

Can't believe they cancelled it for this piece of garbage.

 

[TiberiusMaximus]

I'd love to see Ronon knock Greer out. And then leave. No, I'd like him to wait around till Greer wakes up, then knock him out again, and then leave.

Zoinks! Everybody's down on the SGU. I enjoy the hell out of the show; the first season's got more standout episodes in it than any two seasons of SGA combined, and I liked SGA!

I'm not crazy about the idea of a crossover with SGA, though they integrated Daniel, Sam, and Jack pretty seamlessly... I expect they'll need McKay to solve some uber problem and Woolsey to make a generalized statement concerning having civilians in command instead of the military and then pause... for effect.

Sheppard, Woolsey and Carter could lecture those friggin' amateurs on effective leadership for a start. And McKay would have been able to bring them home a couple of hours after they arrived.

That's my gripe with the show. Incompetence of the characters. And not only are they incompetent, they are constantly working against each other, stabbing each other in the back at every occasion. That's just ugly and not entertaining.

Sheppard or O'Neill wouldn't have lost the freakin' ship to a bunch of Alliance guys trapped in a room with one single hostage.

Effective leadership from those Atlantis clowns? Wow, how bad are things on SG:U?

I'm still laughing over their idiotic plan regarding Michael - apparently there was no Plan B in case it failed. So I guess SG:U can't even come up with competent Plan A's?

Well in SGU's defense, McKay never had such lofty dreams of power like Rush and Woolsey was never as much of an idiot as Wray is.

Nobody on Atlantis was smart enough to realize they should mutiny.

What reason was there to mutiny? I don't recall conditions on Atlantis being horrible enough to warrant such a thing. At best you could argue that Sheppard and Weir/Carter/Woolsey should've been relieved of command due to the unethical/genocidal actions they undertook, but considering that they were in a situation where the worst case scenario would result in the deaths of at least millions of people, their actions were understandable.

Remember Pony Tail Guy?

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Kavanaugh? He was stupid enough to entertain notions of mutiny, not smart enough. Thus, his notions were flawed.

I would never mutiny under Weir. She was excellent. Killing her off (or... whatever) was the moment I decided SGA was falling apart. I enjoyed the fourth and fifth seasons, but the series really lost me as an avid fan after that bit.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Ugh, sorry for the double-post. Internet is being a wanker.

 

[Worfmonger]

^^Agreed. When Weir left the show just seemed less... well, less.

^Then they brought Carter in and I was excited. Until they made her stupid and useless. Then she left and Woolsey came and...well, he was already stupid and useless. The first three seasons are the best.
