See, I just watched a random ep of the SGU and I like the premise
*nod* No, I totally get that! I watched most of SG-1 and seasons 1-4.1 of SGA. The franchise wouldn't be successful at all if it didn't have the ability to draw in viewers and tell some fun stories. I just. I can't do it again.
They seem to be... umm... biased against them somehow?
Um, yeah. I won't push my issues with them on you, but it says something that Joe Flannigan (Sheppard) actively started calling them out on their behavior during the last season, to the point where they didn't include him in the 'goodbye' special. There was just some really not good or smart treatment of actresses and women behind the scenes. And we won't even go into the OH MY GOD WERE ALL OF YOU ASLEEP!? situation that cropped up in SGU that lead to the producers trying to explain stuff away when, if they have wives or daughters or women who speak to them on a civil level SOMEWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE, they should have just gone "Well, that was dumb of us, sorry!"
I'm sorry! I'll shut up!
BUT YES. Elizabeth Weir is made of fantastic win! As is Teyla Emmagan! They are both total badasses! Do yourself a favor and track down "New Order" 1 and 2, and then the SGA pilot (although season 1 of SGA is pretty fun viewing) and subject yourself to their awesome. THEY ARE SO GREAT.
