SG:U was a gamble that didn't pay off. Put 75 unlikeable, ugly people into a derelict ship and hope for ratings. The show is so poorly lighted that I think I'm getting macular degeneration every time I watch it. It is a drama without heroes -- good luck with that. The show makes the military and academia equally unlikeable -- a real feat. SG-1 had it all: writing, production, acting, directing. SG:U looks like punsihment being inflicted on the cast and crew. If they made several more SG-1 movies instead, I'd be very happy.
