SGU is the classic example of a bunch of people trying to do something they have absolutely no clue about. SG-1 and SGA type of shows are the writers strengths and they should have stuck the traditional military sci-fi genre. The premise of the show is so great, the ninth chevron, unexplored galaxies and the history of the most ancient races, and all they have accomplished in each show is a bunch of whining idiots. They tried to marry a sci fi show with a soap opera, like BSG maybe, but failed completely. Its neither good soap opera (as far as i can tell), and its definitely not good sci fi. Heck, its hardly television worthy. The focus on drama should have been brought about through the struggles of the crew on the ship. However, it seems that icky sticky earth relationships are the things that elicit the greatest emotions, being zillions of miles away from home on an ancient starship isn't good enough. Nine episodes on, there's nothing to make me await the tenth one. Guys, stick to your strengths. Believe me, you cant write quality BSG- type show.
