SGU, good premise, but it was poorly executed as a soap drama, shouldve been aliens/tech,,,,etc first.
I loved SGU. π€·ββοΈ
I think each one of the Stargate shows was aimed at a different audience. I enjoyed Atlantis, and SGU was my jam. SG-1 I could never get into. And thatβs fine β more variety means wider appeal.
SGU unfortunately went too-bsg drama on the 1st season, which caused thier DECLINE. plus MGM was having all sorts financial problems too. season 2 was definitely way better.
Also i did some digging around, and according to the writers/showrunners season 3 was going to have more stuff that was foreshadowed, like planetbuilders lore, the creators of the drones, i believed one of them made an AMA on stargate sub, said the drones were likely created by one of the novus colony humans centuries ago.
it was kind obvious, they were building up the planetbuilders to something later on.
Everything had to be grimdark heartburn drama because Battlestar Galactica. Outright killed my interest in television.
even BSG had bad execution, mainly the showrunners messianic vision for the show(aka like supernatural, had "angels" guiding specific individuals, sound familiar). should stuck with the OG bsg source material.
