No one talks about this show anywhere, but it was such a huge part of my up bringing. It made think deeply about a lot of stuff as a younger person.

Plus it's cool as heck.

I don't know if there's much of a point to this post other than to say thanks to ever made this sub. You rule.

My FIL was into it pretty deep, so I saw a lot of it back when we only had one TV. I think we still have it on DVD, tucked away somewhere. I always love how dry RDA was when he delivered his dialogue.

Also, I love the symmetry of Stargate Atlantis launching Jason Momoa's career, and then how he went on to play Aquaman...

SGU was unpopular when it came out but with its serialized story telling it was just ahead of its time.

Ehhh...it's lack of popularity wasn't due to serialized storytelling, which had been around especially in SciFi for a while at that point.

It had it's high points, but on the whole, it just wasn't very good. People wanted Stargate and they got a bad BSG knockoff instead.

I rewatched it during Covid, and while I didn't hate it the way I did during the initial airing, I still wasn't sad it didn't get a second season.

It got a second season. The second half of it is actually rather good, but the damage was already done at this point unfortunately.
