In some ways, I like Universe more. It's grittier, realistic, and something about it makes me feel like I'm watching some movie, instead of a tv show. I think it's cool how they changed the feel; sometimes a change is good.

Of course I'm only up to episode ten...sooo yeah.

I do agree though, waaaayy too many drama episodes.

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this side of Stargate writing as well, next to SG-1 and SGA. But at the same time, I could do with a little more stargating off-world than just roaming the same corridor at different angels.

Yeah I agree--that does get on my nerves too. It sort of goes back to that drama issue. I'm not sure if they're just building up suspense about something, or being lazy/cheap...or both.

Honestly, I got so bored a few episodes in that I stopped watching. Too much drama, and not enough good ol' Stargate stuff. But before anyone beats me to death, I do not get ScyFy at my house. I had to drive to someone else's house to watch it. (Yes, I was that excited about SG-U!) When I was gravely disappointed in SG-U, it wasn't worth driving out of my house every Friday night.

If I got ScyFy at home, I probably would have turned the TV on and watched it regardless, and maybe then I would have seen this *amazing development* of a Stargate-like episode of which you speak. 'Cuz I found the first handful of episodes seriously lacking.

Yeah, I kept going with it and the MOST rewarding point was not until episode 10. But there were still some good episodes before then (including a classic Stargate time-travel episode 6 or 7 ("Time").) Still, though, too much drama.

Hulu has them, but not the ones you missed at first. You could find them online elsewhere, if, say, you were bored one night or something.
