>>16947523Exactly. It seems like a lot of people dislike SG-1 for the very reasons I listed for liking it.
I would assume that these are the people who really get into the universe, and read up on the fictional universe's background.
Essentially, hardcore Trekkies (or equivalent for other shows).
But Richard Dean Anderson and, in all honesty, Michael Shanks were perfect choices for main characters. They achieve the nonchalant, playful, non-serious attitude perfectly.
Michael Hewlitt did a pretty good job on Atlantis as well (in the same sort of role).
there was no equivalent on SGU because SGU had a completely different tone/style. IT was stargate: Battlestar galactica.
that killed it.
You just cannot take sci-fi too seriously.
