Stargate was great until the last 3 series, and Atlantis seemed like a really cheap knockoff so I have really low expectations for this. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised though

The same happened with Atlantis, interesting at first exploring the base with limited weaponry. Suddenly after a couple of series you have limitless power, the mega badies become wimps and you have the backup of your mega ship. Hence the it died a death. The concept is interesting, hence they keep refreshing it (and they will do for some time). Think BSG, they will keep coming up with reincarnations. I am prepared to be proved wrong, but my expectations are also low for this. |

Really unsure on Universe - looks like a total departure from the previous two series.
I don't blame them for this as it needs to evolve to survive - Atlantis was just trying to re-invent SG-1, both in terms of characters and storylines and ultimately ran out of ideas. Will reserve judgement until I see it but I don't think it'll bear much resemblance to the Stargate we know and love.

They've been showing long trailers in the movie theaters in advance of this one. Seems like they're pushing for a really big launch, and rather stronger different approach to Stargate. It looks like it could be quite impressive, though I'm getting serious shades of BSG & Voyager in the whole "lost, seeking home" aspect.
What I don't like the look of is that college age genius kid. Why, for the love of all that is good and wonderful in sci-fi, why? It's a crap plot device and it rarely feels natural or logical.

The writers often just get lumbered with a character they never wanted and don't know what to do with them, and probably won't figure that out for a few seasons at best.
