Stargate Universe (2009–2011)
5/10
A good series but deviated too far from the originals.
24 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
After a very promising start of the series, it goes stagnant and turns into a somewhat daytime drama format. It misses all those things that make SG1 and SGA classics.

There is little exploring, and that little exploring is kept to limits that can be very clearly felt by the viewer.

Also considering that this series goes through 2 new separate galaxies, the only alien intelligence they come across, and I kid you not, is 1 biological and 1 AI.

Lastly, the Stargate is replaced by a ship as the main focus of the series. This wouldn't be half as bad except this ship contradicts itself all the time. E.g. it's supposed to be pretty much the most advanced ship in the universe yet it seems to be losing battle after battle. Also, for some weird reason, it cant go in and out of hyperspace without a rest otherwise the engines would be damaged.

As I said earlier, this new Stargate is like a day time show. It focuses on internal matters; meaning a lot of the episodes are about the crew infighting, something happening to the ship, or cowardly powering away from smaller ships.
