![]() I hope this changes towards the positive.
Yes, I think there is. I would take more SG1 over SGU anyday of the week. Also, I wouldn't say SGU is going strong. Its only averaging about 2.5 million viewers the last time I looked. The ratings have fluctuated throughout the first season. Enough to keep it going, but not enough to scream from the rafters...even from a cable show that is given more leeway than if it were airing on one of the big three networks. I personally am on the verge of ditching the show all together. Anyway, I hope to see more SG-1. I agree with Shanks that there is room for at least one more good story/movie. Shanks has appeared on "Sanctuary" this past season. Not the strongest episode, but it was good to see him again none the less. There was a cute inside joke about Dr. Magnus' hair color change. She being a brunette on the show and a blonde on SG-1. |

I just re-watched seasons 1-8 of SG-1 and I'm in the marker for buying the rest of the franchise; so hopefully my revenue will help. |

My question is: Just how strong is SG-U? From what I am seeing reaction to it is pretty well split. People either love it or hate because it does not follow the previous SG formula. Personally, I am not hooked on the series yet, but am still willing to give it a chance to win me over. Since there does seem to be some out there that really don't like it I would like to think that the folks in charge of the franchise would be thinking there is still a market for the prior two series as TV and/or direct-to-dvd movies. I guess they could figure that might just undermine SG-U, but I really don't think so. |

That's cool. I'd like to watch the series in order again someday. I know there are a few episodes I missed in the last season or two, so that would be like a little surprise getting to see it. |

My issues have very little to do with the series breaking away from the other two series in style. The series is sorely lacking in decent character development, cast chemistry and story continuity...just to name three areas (IMO). I'm grudgingly sticking with the show right now.
I don't think so either. It would probably help. If SG1 still does well, then that could benefit the franchise as a whole (including SGU). The powers that be might however have very little confidence in SGU and think that the viewers will be reminded of what it is like when good Stargate is made. Viewers might tune out in masses.
