And I suspect I'll like the series finale (whenever it happens) more than most, as they've got a pretty clear goal: home to Earth.<br /><br />Rush and Eli are great, but I felt like there was less Eli in the second half of the season. More Eli, please! <br /><br />I am not interested in Chloe, either.<br /><br />I am, however, fascinated by T.J.'s hair. How does she do that? And I don't mean "How does she do that with no curling iron or product?"--I'm not addressing the likelihood of good hair aboard an ancient spaceship. Seriously, how does she get all that hair pinned back so it looks super-short?Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-44533468700366726582010-06-30T13:44:58.047-04:002010-06-30T13:44:58.047-04:00I find SGU to be, if not the best SG, at least muc...I find SGU to be, if not the best SG, at least much much better than SGA and the last seasons of SG1El Marplahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185882370572206101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30044848663688443222010-06-19T04:36:12.560-04:002010-06-19T04:36:12.560-04:00I'm still troubled about this show.

It's not that I don't like it, in fact I did quite enjoy some of the episodes, but I would happily trade the second season for just one more episode of Atlantis.Col.

Then BOOM, a whole bunch of cliff-hangerness in the last 5 minutes. This just felt cheap, and left me feeling manipulated. Yeah, I'll watch it to see what happens, but I'm not invested (see? manipulated! ugh..).<br /><br />Or maybe better stuff will come on and I won't bother to watch... <br /><br />-A<br /><br />P.S. My parents have also been watching the show and when I talked to them about it my mother exclaimed, "What was THAT? An hour of nothing and 5 minutes of cliffhanger!!!?? I'm so done with that show!" Yup, she's refusing to watch next season. Dad, was annoyed, but, like me, will probably watch out of curiosity. :)Dr. Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41121201769757553192010-06-15T02:12:03.756-04:002010-06-15T02:12:03.756-04:00I found the last shot with Young......that picture...I found the last shot with Young......that picture is burned into my retinas.

Thanks for giving the reviews a home!<br /><br />I also clearly thought more of it than Anonymous, but I give Anon credit for continuing to watch despite clearly not liking the show for most of its run. I like that you continued to give it a chance, hoping for better. I'm sorry it didn't give you what you were looking for. I'm certainly with you on Young needing a demotion! I can only imagine he'll become more insufferable if T.J.'s baby is, in fact, dead.<br /><br />Mark, I'm TOTALLY with you on the three castaways resolution. We can only hope they don't do an easy cheat like that again.<br /><br />I was excited to see Robert Knepper in the teaser. He was so great as T-Bag on Prison Break (the first couple seasons that I watched anyway). Hopefully, he'll bring something exciting to this show.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-28332705650127175332010-06-14T18:03:29.949-04:002010-06-14T18:03:29.949-04:00Great review, Jess.
I agree that it did seem lik...Great review, Jess. <br /><br />I agree that it did seem like not much actually happened beside the opening and closing of lots of doors but I’ve enjoyed this two-parter even though I think it would’ve worked a lot better as one single feature length episode rather than split up. <br /><br />The various cliff-hangers were all great but I’m worried that they won’t be able to resolve all of them without some feeling like a cheat. I’m still a little bitter about how the three castaways storyline ended and am not looking forward to a repeat performance. <br /><br />I expect most, if not all, of the main cast will survive. After all, this is still Stargate not Lost or 24 (not yet anyway). But I figure Telford is done for. Sadly, the same seems to go for TJ and Young’s child. That was a lot of blood. It might be callous thing to do but this situation was forced upon the writers and their options were limited about how they could resolve it but, honestly, I never thought they’d go that far.<br /><br />It’ll be interesting to see where things go in season two. Just hope that Robert Knepper gets a better role than the one he was lumbered with on Heroes.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82085656736973202122010-06-14T17:48:26.447-04:002010-06-14T17:48:26.447-04:00I thought more of it than you did, Anonymous. It ...I thought more of it than you did, Anonymous. It wasn't perfect, and the multiple cliffhangers were more irritating than upsetting, but I'm still into this show and it was an exciting finale. Who will live? Who will die? Can they please write Daniel Jackson into the cast?<br /><br />Thanks for a season-full of excellent reviews, Jess.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73927881101778206852010-06-14T16:15:11.673-04:002010-06-14T16:15:11.673-04:00So, a ridiculous episode with a botched cliffhange...So, a ridiculous episode with a botched cliffhanger to end a ridiculous season. Seems like the first part was empty hope. Someone needs to fire Brad Wright, presto!<br /><br />And, of course, coincidence again. Stopping just in the worst place with the pulsar / nova / whatever it was. The writers give too much weight to coincidence.<br /><br />Which is exactly the proof that they're bad writers. And it shows.<br /><br />I guess I'm off for Season Two. Until I read that they are killing (or demoting) Young. Now, that would be a step in the right direction. It is SO ridiculous that both SGC and even the military guys in Destiny allow him to stay in command. He's obviously not up for the job.<br /><br />Oh, and Chloe. This is 2010, guys. And SciFi, no less. No ladies in distress eating precious minutes needed here.<br /><br />The rest, I can keep hope that they'll get better writers and do something with them. But I probably won't be watching. What a complete waste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
