I’ve nearly given up on Stargate Universe. I’m watching the fifth episode, (technically seventh, since the pilot was in three parts). Here’s why my patience is lost with the series.
- The women are fanservice-like eye candy, and the men are archetypes.
- Eli –the nerd and analogue to the show’s main demographic– got relegated to friend zone with Chloe in Light,with little chemistry between him and Vanessa –the next closest woman . It seems fiction is not nice to nerds either.
- Those nanomites in the pilot and the Water episode are likely to be deus ex machina if they appear again. After the end of Battlestar, I’m not looking forward to any more of that.
I may buy the soundtrack and keep up with episode reviews as they come, but I’m swearing off of SGU until things flesh out more.
