Don't watch Stargate Universe. They actually poked fun at the concept a few years earlier on SG-1 before going ahead and making it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd23slMhWQU

Phanatic posted:That's not what he meant by ratings. He meant ratings in the sense of "how many people watch a show," not "how good the people who watch a show think it is." Welp, i always thought "rating" meant how a tv show scored, not how many people watch it. I'll excuse myself with the fact that i am not a native english speaker.

The only problem with Universe once past the weak beginning was they didn't commit to their premise. They shouldn't have had the Ancient bodyswap stones and were instead 100% cut off from Earth. E: Also none of the other enemies worked anywhere near as well as the Goa'uld and the cool history stuff, and the increasing obsession with the Ancients was boring. The only other cool recurring dudes were O'Brien's planet of atomic assholes. Grand Fromage fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Nov 15, 2017 |

In the televison world, ratings refers to the Nielsen ratings, which was a company that used to measure how many people watched a show. You are actually correct, except in this one industry specific context. As a counterexample, nobody would use "movie ratings" to refer to movie viewing numbers, that would refer to the god/bad reviews. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_ratings

Start with SG-1, if you really enjoy it, give Atlantis a try, and if you're a masochist who hates good things, start up Universe.

Tonally and visually, it is extremely similar to BSG/Expanse, so if you're in this thread there is a better-than-zero chance you will enjoy it. As for the other Stargate shows, they are all Good and Fun, but SG1 is from a very different era of television, and the sfx on Atlantis are getting pretty dated. If either of those are dealbreakers, you probably wont enjoy the shows. SG1 is extremely episodic, but gets a little more serial towards the latter seasons. Atlantis is also fairly episodic, but much more plotty within seasons and with overall arcs. Personally, I liked the characters on SG1 more, but thought the stories were better on Atlantis. SGU was the most  realistic of the Stargate series, but I (and I think alot of people) didn't give it a fair shake when it came out because SyFy had obviously cancelled BSG and Atlantis because they had big, expensive casts and SGU was just cheaper to make.

The tone of universe was all wrong and it was scarcely believable it was in the same continuity as the two other Stargate shows. I'm still recovering from the pilot's tonal whiplash where they had existing characters hand off to the SUPER SERIOUS new crew. It was like watching two different franchises mashed together. Other than that, its worse offense was that it was boring.

I liked SGU, but I also watched it without having seen any other Stargates. Now that I have I can see how different it was. I haven't rewatched it yet to compare. I do think it started weak, regardless, and got good the second season.

Actors gonna act. Speaking of, I've been enjoying periodically seeing actors I recognize from The Expanse (all Canadian, of course) appearing in the also-Canadian Dark Matter. E.g. UN Science Jerk Colonel Janus, the leader of the rebelling space workers from the Anderson Station flashback, and at least one other actor I can't recall, all had single-episode parts.

I had to look him up because i don't know Canadian actor names that well, and I got a chuckle out of the url for the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hogan_(Canadian_actor) It's not like there's some other American actor and they needed to differentiate between the two or anything, nah Canadian Actor is just a totally different job than Actor I guess.

For me it's been giving me a lot of flashbacks to this obscure but pretty great hard sci-fi Canadian show ReGenesis. Martian captain dude was the main character, with Donnager's second-in-command and bald guy on the Earther science vessel also being major characters, as long as a bunch of other minor ones.

Checking it out now, free on Amazon prime for anyone interested. Why TF is the drat intro 1:30+ though?

Does anyone know if Amazon has a UHD version of season two? I only have the season one UHD on my list because a goon linked it way back when. It's super hard to find any UHD stuff on prime.

No, at least not yet. UHD was never available for purchase, only on Prime. When Season 2 hits prime (likely soon), I would expect it to show up in UHD. InstantWatcher is the best way to find content in prime. Search and then add it to your watch list.
