People complain because they hate seeing something they enjoyed become something they don't enjoy anymore. This is doubly true if they didn't like the way SG-1 went out and feel like they're seeing it all over again.
If that doesn't apply to you, wonderful. If you like Mallozzi's blog where he's constantly trying to insult fans and pass it off as "humor" that's also wonderful. Some of his comments over the years have been amusing, but he's added too much "bite" to them in recent years for me to be comfortable reading them. He seems to enjoy baiting fans more than writing for the show. He certainly seems to spend more energy on baiting.
Everyone needs a place to vent. It often lets them voice their opinions in a place where they can see other POVs and maybe even change their mind or at least see the other side, even if they don't agree with it.
Nothing about SGU sounds at all interesting so far. I like the concept of Stargate travel, and that sounds very minimal to the plotline with the setting being a spaceship like so many other sci fi shows. If that's not the case and it's not all about the "hot young thangs" as the press has indicated and fandom word from those I trust is good, I can always catch up with it later. It's just not a show that I'm interested in watching live.
And BTW, I'm not watching. I did not like how SG-1 ended, and quit watching SGA around mid-season three because I could see signs of a similar path being taken. I do like keeping up with the basic concepts of episodes via fandom chatter, as some episodes often factor into fanfic. I've always had more fun with SGA fanfic than with the show itself.
There's always DVDs if I want to watch "The Good Parts Edition" later on, and it's perfectly fine with me if other fans consider completely different episodes part of that than I do. They have as much right to think and express that as I do to say differently.
