It was too bad that SG Atlantis was cancelled. I got to really like the plot and the characters. But shortly after, we are now blessed with it’s “offspring” – which has not much to do with it’s parents, honestly. I like the change of direction they introduced with the new series. Before, every character was the highly skilled professional at what he was doing, which was cool on one side if you’re into the whole nerd-thing, but on the other side kinda kills the realism.
In SGU, the characters are more “down to earth”, still professionals, but you instantly feel more connected to them on a human level: It’s harder to see thru their facade, there’s normal problems of normal people in probably the most anormal environment you could imagine, a billion lightyears away from earth.
I think what was told of the story so far leaves a lot of room for interesting developments. I just saw the 3rd episode this afternoon and it’s not getting boring so far. Let’s keep that up, shall we. :)
