SGUSTFU* mention

[gategrrl]

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.

Fringe is 10x worse with the gore. Maybe they've changed it these days. But it's one of the reasons why I quit.

I know a few people who watched who quit because of the gore. It was really prevalent and pointed at the beginning of S1.

But that's me. I'm sure it doesn't bother a lot of people.

I dislike the gore of Fringe, too. I never liked it on SPN either, though. I close my eyes or cover my eyes or look away. I actually like the characters on this show, though. John Noble is just hilarious to watch. I also really like the main female character. I'm a long-time Joshua Jackson fan, too, and he's the only reason I stuck with it. Otherwise the gore might have scared me away or I might have become bored with the show early in the first season, and I wouldn't have ended up hooked on the show. *g*

I liked season 1 a lot, but in season 2, they are giving Peter (the son, Joshua Jackson) more to do--a more active role. I think that's probably going to be a change for the better. I hope it is. We'll see.
