katikat... I love what Maureen Ryan - yeah, that TV critic that Brad Wright had his hissy fit with - had to say about it:
This. Seriously. This is what had me so pissed that I couldn't see straight and what inevitably skewed my perception of SGU, the way Wright & Co. belittled the fans of the previous shows, openly and without any restraint.
Do I think that fans should determine the creative direction of a TV show? No. But it was surprising to me that a franchise that is so dependent on its fans for survival should react so casually to their opinions. Speaking for myself, it's not that I didn't understand what the producers were going for. I just didn't feel they were actually doing what they said they wanted to do. But the producers, in public comments and in online interactions with fans, sometimes left the impression that fans just didn't get the innovations and creativity on display. That kind of thing gets old fast.
