Dear Bubbas, last night I watched Stargate Universe (the first 2 feature-length-tele-movie etc episodes).
First reactions;
- This is just BSG redux in the Stargate universe
- Even the camera angles where startlingly similar
- The premise is almost exactly the same vis a vis: An old enemy attacks a colony; survivors (who are a rag tag assortment of personnel) flee on an ancient large spaceship, they must find a new home etc No word as to which tyranny that might be fleeing
Even within the first episodes they have exactly the same probles as on BSG Water, food etc
I like sci-fi and I will continue to watch SGU (assuming channel 10 does not frack with the format the way they did with BSG) but it does seem very, very reductive of Galactica.
Loved the special effects though.
To Know Me Is To Love Me...
