My problem with that "character driven" nonsense is that SciFi usually drives its characters into depression after depression, until the characters are barely salvagable. If I want to get depressed, all I need to do is switch on the news. I want my TV shows to be fun. SG1 and SGA were fun, even the eps I didn't like usually had something for me to enjoy. BSG - IMO - started out interesting and quickly turned into a lot of cr*p. These constant comparisons of SGU to BSG certainly don't help sell SGU to me. Quite apart from the fact that I still haven't forgiven TPTB for killing off SGA. I'd be much more open towards SGU if SGA would still be on the air with new eps, so the franchise wouldn't depend on their experiment with SGU. Their implied negativity towards SG1 and especially SGA doesn't sit too well, either. Suddenly 15 years of success are nothing and this is what they wanted to do all along!?! Oh, puhlease. Mid-life crisis anyone? aaarrghhh no, I won't rant again. Ommmmmm! :)
