Shanks on SGU Fan Respose
- Thread starter Broccoli
- Start date
He didn't think much of it until he saw the trailer?
Michael's in it.
He's made hundreds of episodes and a few movies with these people but he can't extrapolate quality until he sees a 3 minute trailer full of the best bits designed to convert non believers with cheap tricks and spectacle?

I assume Michael doesn't realize that a lot of the negative response comes from fans upset that TPTB canceled Atlantis for Universe.
Don't get me wrong, I've really warmed up to Universe, and am really looking forward to it now after seeing the trailers; but I just can't let go of the knowledge that they canned one show for the other.

I think he meant, that he didn't have an opinion about it when he heard about SGU.
Umm... nope...
Same peopel in charge of the show, they hired 2 writers that might write 3 episodes a year... wow....
Just like Manny Coto, he tried his best to save Enterprise, but in the end it still sucked because he didn't have full control.
Manny Coto had about as much control as Berman and Braga towards the end.
I'll give em the same chance I give any sci fi show: 15 minutes and then I check how I'm reacting. If it's "boredom" or worse (nausea, contempt, rage that this crap got the greenlight when good shows get cancelled, etc), I'm gone.
Any competent TV writing/producing team should be able to come up with something in the first 15 minutes that won't annoy me, and give me some slight inkling that the show and the characters have potential. If they can't do that, they don't deserve my attention.
Picky picky. Ok, "no one who knows what good writing looks like has faith in them anymore."
But I don't need faith to give a show 15 minutes. Prove me wrong, suckahs. Oh who am I kidding, I'll watch the show just because there aren't any other space operas out there. Just don't be painful to endure like Defying Gravity, and I'll most likely stick with it. High standards fall under the crushing tsunami of total desperation...

Ah, excellent. This of course means that we'll continue to have pages and pages of arrogant drivel to read on this board for months to come.
I was bored 15 minutes in to Lost's pilot. Should I have turned that off ?
Yes, yes you should have.
Obviously people are going to pre-judge the show before it airs. This is the internet, it's what we do.
That being said, while I would not say I excited about SGU, I am looking forward to it with interest. While I do not agree that some of the things they are doing are necesarily the right things to be doing, I am willing to give things the benfit of the doubt. After all, Stargate even at its worse is still better than 90% of what else is on television and what's considered popular.

Really bigdaddy, no one has faith in them anymore? Not the studio that is paying them to do it? Not the cast and crew that depend on them for a paycheck? Not the fans of the previous Stargate shows that willing to give it a chance before they decided if they like it or don't like it?
I'm glad you're the mouthpiece for the rest of the world, because without you I wouldn't know that I was supposed to hate the show before it airs.
What are your opinions on the 2017 Honda Accord?
Nope, there's something odd about that too; can't quite put my finger on it...
Oh yeah, it's bullshit.
Well, I'm glad I didn't.
