@Number6:

Considering I like most of the same shows you do... I'm surprised at your summation of SGU.

Especially being a Buffy/Angel fan myself... it's interesting to see that you didn't think the characters became more developed over time in SGU.

Other than Chloe, most of the characters in SGU were fleshed out well, I'm not even sure if you're aware of Greer's abusive father, Scott's fear of commitment, Wray's fear of loneliness (which ironically is how the AltWray ended up) and all the different nuances of each character (the Rush/Young/Telford dynamic was very interesting).

I do think it's a matter of not trying to frame it in what you expect of previous SG shows and to watch it as its own. I couldn't understand the appeal of Firefly but eventually forced myself to watch the movie and it made more sense to me.

Again... personal tastes and all.. I actually think SGU was levels better than the new BSG if only that it didn't have all that mysticism that BSG threw in.
What he said,
and that most don't like SGU because like you said they compared it , too much, to the previous ones. It like a few out there are biznitching and moaning about baseball because its nothing like cricket. I judge every show, and sometimes every season as a separate entity from previous ones, it takes the expectation out and allows you to enjoy them more.
