SGU: Time

Okay, I don't know if anyone will defriend me for daring to say this, but... I'm watching last night's SGU, Time, and it was actually pretty amazing.

That's not arms raised in anger, is it?

Not at all. :D Russ and I both LOVE it (with the small exception of the 90210ness)>.

Oh good. There seems to be a lot of SGU hatin' on my f-list. *sad face*

Same here. :( Have you seen the first 7 episodes though? I JUST finished watching "Time," and if you haven't, I just wanted to warn you that THAT was the best one I've seen thus far.

I've only watched parts of a couple of episodes, but I didn't see anything that was so terrible about it. My initial reaction was that it seemed to be borrowing a bit too heavily from the new Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Voyager. However, I get annoyed when someone passes judgment on a show after only the first couple of viewings -- it wouldn't be the first show to gain its legs later on in the season.

Agreed. Time was very good. I think the ship-based episodes are much better on average than the ones involving earth (although I love seeing Sam and Jack :D)

Agreed. Anyone expecting a show to make them fall madly in love with it in the first few episodes is setting themselves up for disappointment. Especially when they've been explicitly warned by TPTB that they're trying something a bit different from the last two incarnations.

Good point -- fans were warned!

Many, many times.

Exactly my thoughts. :D

I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm finding SGU to be surprisingly enjoyable so far.
