 IMO, the format of this potentially superb TV series make it an agony to watch . .. November 25, 2009
That Was Cool. (Phoenix, Arizona, USA)
The much bigger budget for Stargate Universe as compared to Stargate Atlantis is easily recognized in the quality of the set and the CG creativity. The main story line shows much promise and originality, the main story line being a group of civilians and military personnel stranded on a several 100,000 year old space cruiser over which they have little control as it speeds through space.
The kernel of each episode is cantered on the problems encountered while trying to keep the star cruiser running, but the script writers have taken the linear story style of Stargate Atlantis and set it on its head. About 7 out of the 9 episodes I've watched more or less use a very disruptive story telling style, IMO. Perhaps is is just my taste in film style, but I personally find the sudden and frequent changes in time between the present, the past and sometimes the future very disruptive and distressing to watch and I'm talking 15 to 20 seconds between changes from present to past, to future than back to the present. Thanks to the streaming video I am able to fast forward through these horrible ordeals.
Additionally, the script writers have written in sudden changes from reality to fantasy such as memories, flight of imagination and such things which are portrayed in a realistic style and therefore extremely hard to follow, and detracts from he main story development which is surviving on this several 100,000 year old star cruiser.
The writers seem to have decided that character development is to be done by cutting from the main activity on the star cruiser using this choppy style. It is very similar to the style used in the TV series "Lost" and equally annoying and irrelevant. It is almost as if the writers have to insert this horrible content that IMO adds nothing to the plot except extending and filling out the episodes like they couldn't think of anything else to do.
Ultimately, I find myself very often watching in suspense and interest only to be drowned in vanilla cut scenes to personal events in the characters past that does absolutely nothing for the plot or character development that could not have been done in one tenth the time in a more conventional style such as that used on the two previous Stargate series.
This TV series has the potential to be a 5 star rating. I gave it 3 and would have given it 2 1/2 if I could have because of the botched up writing of the script.
I find this rather tragic as the concept is great and the acting is more than adequate. I hope the writers stop screwing it up and get their script writing together.
I recommend this TV series only if you are willing to put up with the 7 out of every ten minutes of crap, IMO, for the three minutes out of ten that are truly great cinema.
 Nothing like a good time paradox November 17, 2009

Well the title says it all: Time. By the title you can imply a lot about the episode, add in a solar flare and a wormhole and you have a plot.
As for the series, not a critic, so I couldn't tell you if this series is worth purchasing or not. Not going to rate the acting, nor the plot nor the setting. If you are a hardcore Stargate fan, SGU might not appeal to you like you might wish it. I've noticed an increase in drama and a decrease in the actual Stargate sci-fi part that I loved of SG-1 and Atlantis. It's still a transition I am willing to make, but check out. The first two episodes, Air pt 1 and Air pt 2, were free when I got them, so if they still are free check them out.
