SGU premiered last night, and I would have completely not known if I hadn't gone onto LJ (here) and realized it was broadcasting.

Lucky me. I recorded it for my husband and watched the first 15 minutes or so before (OMG!) turning the television off.  About the neatest thing about it during that 15 minutes was the hurtling cast members/characters smashing onto the floor of an unknown location.  At one point the Guy sat down with me and commented during a scene with Jack O'Neill in it--I don't even know if the Guy realized who that was--or maybe the one up on the Hammond, that he wished they'd stop with the bumpy-camera movement.

Who directed this? Cooper? He seems to love "cutting edge" camera work.

Anyway, I have no idea if I like or dislike this show, but really, I'm pretty much out of this franchise. I think. Unless they give me some really really good fodder for mocking, and you know they will. I'm just not sure SGUSTFU is worth it.

I was done with the franchise at about season 9 of SG-1, when I realized the writers/producers were never going to change, and that they couldn't be trusted to do anything except stick it to the fans they decided didn't "get" their vision.

I couldn't even watch Atlantis, despite squeeing from friends. I sure as hell am not going to watch this one, where "body-swapping" causes involuntary rape, and is greeted with chuckles and manly ribbing. It sounds even worse than the cartoon!

I wonder how long they'll make it last.

From what I'm hearing, the ratings in that time slot for SGUSTFU were even worse than Flash Gordon (remember that turkey?).

Typically, shows with low ratings on SciFi tend to get cancelled. Like Dresden Files. (which, of course, if it had survived, the producers might have added Claudia Black in a similar Vala character, and I would have stopped watching anyhow)
