The acting is excellent, the script is pretty good, but quite honestly, I don't need my Stargate this dark, edgy and plain mean. I don't want O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, and the rest painted with the same brush as this bunch of hateful narcissists. Just because there's a Stargate in the title and on the ship doesn't mean this has anything to do with the real Stargate shows.
Call me an obsessed fangirl of an old-school show, I don't care. I prefer my sci-fi to have some heart, some hope, some humour. Maliciousness and mean-spirited behaviour don't do it for me.
I can appreciate that they're good actors working with decent scripts and sets. I can't get over that these whiny, self-obsessed, selfish brats - some of whom enjoy having sex while in the bodies of other people so they can basically cheat on that person's partner - are supposed to have been the best of the best. Snark? There's no snark. There's bullying and whining and ego trips and backstabbing. Is this high school?
I stopped watching after Time because it was pretty satisfying to see them die over and over. Just what they deserved.
