Good lord how did I ever manage to miss your Jonas story???
SGA was mean and stupid and possibly a drunk up close. It took a dramatic concept of such promise and turned it into a screwball comedy and did despicable things to its characters (marginalization, making them unable to retain the lessons of their experiences, etc.), all while the producers and writers gloated boastfully on their blogs. I spent five years with this bad lover and I might still be a little bitter.
Oh god THIS.
They did the same thing to SG1 for S8-10. And I was very cranky, too. Especially over the gloating. It's bad enough TPTB are stupid and talentless. But then they gloat about it...
My opinion of SGU is, of course, widely known. But I'm the last person on earth to say something can't or shouldn't be loved. Or that it can't be fannishly retrofitted into something I would even read fic about. The most interesting thing about SGU, to me, is that its fannish demographics seem to skew strongly male. So that's a thing. And I kind of wonder what elements were present to bring out the guy vote, as it were, that SG1 and SGA either didn't have, or balanced with woman-appealing content....
