BSG is showing it's influence. SGU never managed to escape the shadow of its weaker first season. Unfortunately a stellar second season is left at the universe of all cliffhangers (or should I say galaxy-hangers).

Comfortably the best thing in the Stargate canon. Well acted and solidly written, with a nice atmosphere. The repetitive episodes and going nowhere story quickly ended something which had potential.

Gave it five episodes, just couldn't get into it. No attachment to the characters or interest in their survival.

Got too repetitive. Cast is quite bland (some characters even quite obnoxious like Dr. Rush) and overarching story is weak. Lasted till S2E11

[through season 2]

All I could ever think about was how these people were going back to earth, inhabiting other people's bodies, and basically pseudo-raping them. Ended on a pseudo-cliffhanger. I really wanted to find out what happened to fat nerd boy.

maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance, but seriously I couldn’t get through three episodes.

More engaging and digestible than Atlantis, which ended up being a slog. Showed enough uniqueness and potential to make you think "What if they continued?" But not as good as seasons 1-8 of SG1.

Stargate Universe gains points for trying something different with the franchise. Although it's not unique. In fact it's unpleasantly derivative of other serial dramas of the time. If nothing else, the characters may keep you interested for a little while. If not, it's well worth sticking around for the monumental performing from Robert Carlyle.

bad series

Way better than Stargate Atlantis, however the cast and story weren't as interesting as that of Stargate SG-1. It had some potential to be good, but the plot started stalling until they mercy killed the show.

Far better than Stargate Atlantis and certainly better written than Stargate SG-1, but too bad it became quite repetitive and the characters never became as attractive as those of SG-1. Yet, this had something special and the end of season 2 really had me wanting for more.

Probably the best series in SG franchise. Stories could be better, but it is blessed with excellent actors. This show must go on!
