Anyone watched new stargate series SG-U ? I watched first 2 episodes and so far it looks good. It reminds Battlestar galactica a bit.

Stargate Universe ( SG - U )
I watched it too, and I definitely see why you're reminded of BG. For one, SGU is so far, a lot darker than previous SG's, and you can tell they're willing to go for that vibe in a good way. I'm hopeful for the show and I know that I'll be watching every episode with my usual obsessive attention to detail. One thing I know for sure, I want more Lou Diamond Phillips! He's just so good! 
I heard they are going to focus more on characters than story just like BG. But I prefer the original stargate way. Well I can't wait for the 3rd episode.

Thanks for making this topic. I just realised a few months have passed since I watched the last episode (sadly) of Stargate Atlantis.
I was very negative about the cancel of SGA and SG1, and even mad. Why would they cancel it? =( They were both awesome shows, but they had to make room.
I'm gonna look at SGU this weekend. I hope it can at least tip the epicness of SG1 or even SGA, but my expectations aren't so great. I'll see!

Canceling SG 1 and Stargate Atlantic series sux. I think reason for canceling SG1 series is fan started getting bored with last story, they were dragging it. But Atlantis was good reason for canceling that is they are going to make a movie for that series or that's what I heard. May be they will start both series again later.
The actors/cast/scenario writers were really sad aswell to quit. But the decision came from financial issues (?) from MGM? I'm not sure, I think ive read this a long time ago in the net, I might be wrong.
I think SG1 and SGA simply didn't make enough money anymore? Or had to make room for a more 'open public' => SGU.

Probably popularity was decreasing. SG1 long story line was not good as their old method, something new in every episode.
Stargate Universe episode 3 was not so promising I'm kind of disappointed. But I guess its still too new to judge how it will be.

Watched the first 2 parts of 'Air'. I don't know? Are they like seperate episodes? I am very dissapointed with the show. I know there are alot of haters on forums around the web, like on tv.com, who say the show is a failure.
It's still early, but for the first time that I was watching a Stargate episode I was bored. SGA entertained me alot. I started watching from when the first episodes started to air, and I always watched it immediately after it aired the next ones. From SG1 I have watched the first 2 seasons, they were, in my opinion, not so good as SGA, but I've enjoyed it alot. I also find the fact - going through a stargate -> base has no air/power/whatever -> stranded - getting repitive. They should have used another start, I think. What I did enjoy, is that they used actors from SG1/SGA in the first episode. But now that they are stranded, do we have to expect more of these 'guest actors'? Maybe it was just to give the show a good start.
SGU can simply not compete with those 2. I'll still watch them and see how it goes.

Well at least in my opinion, it seems like in the storyline they just took stargate Atlantis and did a flop. Instead of having a full crew with equipment in a nice environment they just did the opposite for this one which doesn't seem like a very original idea. Overall I'll watch it just on the basis of something to watch but it seems like they are trying to rip off the style of shows like the new battlestar galactica just to get more viewers.
I always liked Stargate, until now I'm enjoying these new serie, SG-U, although it's nothing extraordinary, but as I'm a science fiction aficionado... 
Let's see how it develops

I Love SGA, and SG1 and the original movie as well Stargate.
I actually started out with few episodes of stargate atlantis, and then saw stargate SG1, and it was awesome and addictive.
I am disappointed that they stopped the shows. I loved most of the characters there, and yes, although it dragged for a bit, a lot of episodes put you on edge.
I saw the first 5 episodes of Stagate Universe, and although they don't compare to sg1 and sga, I guess we will have to live with it.
I do agree with dude_xyx that some of the dramatics have been taken off from battlestar gallactica.
I like battlestar gallactica, but not as much as the original series, and this one they just prolong it.
I hope they make SGU more interesting.

The last Stargate hasn't been on air for a whole year now in Australia (or was that 2 years?). Both my dad and i enjoy the shows so i hope SG-U won't be a let down.
Daniel Jackson is awesome and so is O'Neill. I just had to say that.

I read an article recently that dealt with how sexist this version seems to be, and while I don't really care, I do have to agree. What do you guys think?
There's a new Stargate Series?!?! This is awesome!!! I'm just leaving Japan now so hopefully I can catch up when I'm back home. This sounds incredible!!
I don't really care about the new stargate series, its ok, but nothing special in my eyes
I saw the first 5 episodes of SGU, and its ok, but nowhere near as good as SGA and SG-1.
SGU has some level of intelligence factor, but so many quirks in how they do things.
Its also slow, and not as exciting as the SGA and SG-1.
But I hope they change some fo the characters and make it better. Its got potential.
