>SG1 never really did that though (bar the pilot),
Well there was some cheesecake in with Vanessa Angel and some of the hot Go'uld system lords.
>anise was the furthest they went and she never went full bikini
Well there was that throwaway go'uld chick they introduced and killed off in the same episode. Also Aeryn Sun was in a revealing outffit at least once.
SGU started in 2010 then ended in 2011, so after the nearest strike ended. I don't think it was the writers because the show only improved as time went on. It must've had something to do with ratings, and the rocky start turning off fans.
The cancelation? This show was god tier and fresh air in Stargate franchise. Also we started to learn about the people who created things in this universe
I can't stand the camerawork. Shakycam superzoom bullshit, so many shows from that time are guilty. Fine show otherwise, the first handful of episodes dealing with one fundamental survival problem after another was kino
Also the lack of an intro. In SG1's "200" Marty jokes about a short open but they actually did it for SGU. SG1 and SGA both had similar intros, but ditched it for SGU. It was a mistake to do that because the intro is part of the series brand. SGA had a large cast too, no reason not to put something together
objectively wrong. the communication stone soap opera is what killed this show. they did recover from that shit in season 2 but it was too late, the fanbase had moved on due to the extremely weak season 1.
The scripts were absolutely dogshit bro >its people trapped on a ship >no they can pilot it but dont tell the others because i dunno moronation >no don't shoot the guy who tried to kill everyone on sight we signed his contract for 3 seasons so he lives >err space terrorism >robots >aliens >gender swap rocks >please watch our show
i will consneed the space terrorists was a bad plot line but i think that and the communication stones were the only really terrible aspects of it. towards the end of season 2 it felt like they were recovering from the bad start and i would have liked to see a couple more seasons of it. it was definitely the weakest offering of all the stargates.

Why did they think the Space Mujahideen were credible villains? They were just throwaways from late SG1.
>having lesbian sex in another persons body
I can't be the only one who felt this was rude? Like you're in someone elses body you can't just frick in it.

yeah they introduced some cool sci-fi concepts after the abysmal first episodes, like the godlike aliens, the berserker drones, the "pattern" in the background radiation of the universe. i really think they could have turned it into something very interesting. but after the 90s ended people were just not willing to give shows with bad first seasons a chance and i can't really blame them.
also the sheer fricking hubris of the writers to do a 20-episode seasons that were 100% serialized where the plot only advances every four episodes or so, probably assuming they'd get at least five seasons
they don't even show the actual bridge of the ship until midway through season 2
Half the episodes were earth-bound melodrama thanks to magic rocks.
The military commander was a boring guy and crew was straight out of a cw teen drama.
>what did people like about old stargate? >strange planets? >funny aliens? >based Mac Gyver? >nah it was defiantly interpersonal drama, grim dark and narcissism.
Forgot to mention that I only kept watching because I hoped that they'd restore more and more of the Destiny itself. I liked the ship far more than any of the characters, except for Lieutenant Hooters.
what was the last show to have a female cast that was completely full of babes and forced them to do bikini and lingerie glamour shoots as promo work for the show? i feel like SGU happened at the very end of that era
not enough fat ass latinas
Why can't geneticists find the big booby gene and ensure every woman has it?
Stargate Boobyverse.
If she was in SG-1 she would've been forced to be in a bikini or something. what a fricking waste.
SG1 never really did that though (bar the pilot), anise was the furthest they went and she never went full bikini

she was in Atlantis as well
Bragate
Men like Stargate. Men watch Stargate. They wrote that show to heavily appeal to women. Soap operas are gay whether they are in space or not.
have a nice day
BSG is a shitty soap opera and Cinemaphile loves it
Siffie wanted it to be a Battlestar Galatica clone.
Problem is, Stargate can't survive such a tone shift.
Wasn’t the writer strike around this time? Also, the time slot was a death sentence for this show. SGU would’ve been GOAT
SGU started in 2010 then ended in 2011, so after the nearest strike ended. I don't think it was the writers because the show only improved as time went on. It must've had something to do with ratings, and the rocky start turning off fans.
>Also, the time slot was a death sentence for this show.
That was their own fault for making it le mature and edgy, thus getting a later time slot.

So many cliches they made fun of in the episode "200" ended up ironically coming true for SGU.
What did Mozzarella mean by that?
I fricking loved the SG movies and SG-1 and I liked Atlantis. SG:U was too much of a departure from the rest of the franchise to keep me watching.
>knows she's that fricking hot
>surprised people want to see her
why.jpg
>walking around the ship without a bra
What was she expecting?
mckay was /ourguy/
LEMONS could be here
>stands up boob level and puts her boobs right in his face
she knew what she was doing
Needed more exploration of the cool ship and all the cool tech that should have been aboard, they forgot that it was sci-fi not a soap opera.
>all the crew starts believing in god and that they're part of some plan
Everything of S1 between episode 6 and some 2 or 3 episodes before the end. Then they fixed everything in S2 but by then it was already too late.
That ship was gorgeous.
for all the problems the show had the ship was definitely not one of them
For me it's the Hatak
Nothing, it's kino

they clearly had the budget pulled after the train wreck of the first episodes, stones were used to cheap out on sets and effects. its understandable.
Why did they think the Space Mujahideen were credible villains? They were just throwaways from late SG1.
Who else could they have used? Everyone else was defeated at that point.
More aliens than just the annoying blue skinnies.
anyone else besides those morons?

Interpersonal drama making up 60% of each episode.
>what did people like about old stargate?
>strange planets?
>funny aliens?
>based Mac Gyver?
>nah it was defiantly interpersonal drama, grim dark and narcissism.
toxic fanbase and weak writing
That skit in '200' was meant to be a joke, not a pilot
It was clearly not meant to be a Stargate show, but somehow they forced it into the universe (no pun intended).
i dont want teenager in my fricking space kino. simple as.
Shitty personal drama instead of fun planet exploration.
