Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not your Father's Stargate. This is your Uncle's Stargate, the one that drinks a lot and has dodgy taste in television programmes. SGU desperately wants to be the new Cool Kid on the SciFi block and sit with BSG and Firefly at the Cool Kids table, but unfortunately it's stuck in the corner smelling slightly of wee and wearing the season before last clothes. It's a very dark show due to there being no lightbulbs, and gritty in that way where you find eggshells in your omelette; unpleasant and you won't be leaving a tip. Cleverly the characters were created from off-cuts from fishing about the bargain bins of Writers R Us, which saved hours of time for both writers and the viewers in knowing how the characters will react to finding out that they're almost out of Air, Water, and Hair Products. The menfolk spend their time fighting among themselves over the womenfolk, and the womenfolk spend their time having showers. But in space.* Riveting stuff. *Except when they use the Magical Ruby Stones to nip back to Earth to pick up a shandy and a packet of crisps and to yell at their agents. However this show gets an extra star because as far as I remember they've never beaten a puppy and I'm hoping Carlyle will turn up in a kilt and bottle the entire crew.
