i know! BSG was a drama passing itself off as sci fi sci fi is often dramatic but.... the thing is a lot of the characters in sga i could leave in the pegasus galaxy without a thought, bai bai keller... that hologramatic dr from vger, he can go too but i knew the characters well enough to dislike them on their own merits whether that was the writers desperately trying to make mcshep less married (they didn't manage that with a wraith army) by having a woman turn down Ronon for mckay (in the long term maybe, you'd dump ronon for mckay but would you miss out on that?) I loved Andromeda too which was all back stabbity, and fell apart when it wasn't but we are being a bit mean, there are a lot of characters in sgu and we haven't met them, we don't know why they all hate rush (perhaps envious of his robert carlyle acting ability) because they hated him BEFORE they landed on the ship, it might be given a few more eps it finds its feet, but it is in the shadow of atlantis and we are judging it in comparison and not by itself i mean look at ncis gay - referred to here as nicks not gibbs (as comparable to nicks gibbs to keep them seperate) they're completely different, can you imagine gibbs using some of that tech, it would be in the bay and he'd be missing presumed gibbs.
