In your opinion, will SGU be like Battlestar Galactica and take the questions and struggles of humanity?

Ok, now is it accessible to people who thought SG-1 was schlocky crap and thus didn’t watch the spinoff? I mean, hey – how many times can you watch MacGyver tool around in the BC woods chased by bumpy foreheaded aliens?

Anyway – not to be too negative, I’ll give it a watch. I hope you’ve managed to give it a good dose of non-suckitude.

I’ve watched this series for a long time… I liked it, but couldn’t say that Stargate’s been that great ’till today… you know, the scenary is pretty good (quite the sci-fi referent) but the story in each chapter and in the whole has been pretty much boring… I mean, when you konw beforehand that none of the main characters is going to die, lose an arm, be a son of a bitch just for the sake of loving been one or someting it gets somewhat monotone… and seriously The acting at SG1 and Atlantatis wasn’t that great. I hope Universe will be more in the Gantz line, begging you, Scalzi, to help on that.

Have you had a chance to fire an FN P90?

Cute little weapon.

@18:

One of the great things about SG1, especially seasons 1-5, was that you could watch them in any order and they would still make sense. Each episode was a complete, self-contained story, and any of them could be the first one you saw. But at the same time, there were continuity references that gave more depth for the people who weren’t viewing that particular episode as their first one. It was brilliant, and it was one of the big things that made the show so awesome.

They didn’t start having to do the “previously…” teasers until season 7 or 8. 8 is the season I’d stop after.

I am such a nerd because I am SO excited about this. A new sci-fi series to suck me in… YAY. I’ve been lost without Battlestar Galactica.

I swear, John, seriously, while I want to watch what I think of as “John’s Stargate” I can’t bring myself to watch that channel since the name change.

Its disrespectful of the whole genre…. I just cant do it. maybe if there is a way to do it without handing the channel viewership I will watch… maybe that alien brainsucking hulu online thing

And people thought The Syphilis Channel only aired wrestling. So are you now able to say (write, type, etc.) “Syfy” without cringing in shame? I’m sure those enormous consulting fees help, but still…
