SGU Mini-Review

Going into the premiere of Stargate Universe, I held three truths: I love the Stargate franchise, David Blue (Ugly Betty‘s Cliff) is awesome, and Robert Carlyle seems like a dick.

Well, after this week, one of my truths is clinging to life while the other two are overstated. With the exception of a few cameos (*Hi, Sam! Hi, Jack, Daniel, Walter!*) and a gate, this is not Stargate. SG-1 and SGA had fun and never really took themselves too seriously. Stargate Universe has no heart, no joy, no interesting characters (yet), and the ones I *thought* would be favorites, quite frankly, suck.

Eli Wallace is played by the aforementioned David Blue. I made the mistake of following David on twitter for a couple of days around the premiere. His constant posting and ranting turned me off so much that now I don’t even think I’ll like Eli that much (not that I cared for the character AT ALL in the two-hour premiere). The other big surprise was how much I wanted Robert Carlyle, as Dr. Rush, to kick everyone’s shins and show them all what’s up. Easily my favorite character of the show, largely because he’s the only one with more than 1/2 of a dimension, but still, a favorite. I’m still not sure what Lou Diamond Phillips’ role is, but I’d like to see more of him, too.

The overacting of two cast members was so atrocious that I can see them being the reason I tune out if they don’t get it together. Jamil Walker Smith is Master Sgt. Ronald Greer and acts like he’s never been on camera before. His pacing and volume elicited laughs and groans during the premiere, and I hope he was only overacting because he was directed to, and not that this is how it’s going to be all the time. Elyse Levesque as Chloe Armstrong was ridiculous as well. First off, she needs bangs. I said it because it needed to be said. Now, she gets a pass because I believe my true annoyance with her truly was script-based. That crying scene went on way too long; literally, MINUTES too long. We get it, she’s sad. We understand. It’s not some foreign concept to be sad if your parent dies. Sad. OK. We didn’t need to see the snotting and the nasal flaring. Sick. She reminds me of ANTM Cycle 5 Winner, Nicole, but with no charm.

Overall, I’m going to watch at least a few more episodes because the two-hour premiere and next week’s episode are actually considered a multi-part arc, but if we don’t get some fun or interest in the characters, I’m out.

  2. Singapore is absolutely exciting for its multilayered social tapestry!

  3. It’s a pleasant thought to undertake a bit the mentality of seeing every newly introduced abstraction, class,
    technique, variable, line, as being newly added
    technical debt. As engineers grow inside a company and/or
    within a certain tech stack and enterprise domain information, it’s frequent for more skilled engineers to attend technical interviews to evaluate potential
    future colleagues. While it is very important be well versed in a given tech
    stack and figuring out things from first ideas, there is a distinction between knowing
    something and only using that very same one thing to accomplish
    tasks. At the early stages of your profession,
    and, typically, of a new job, even in case you are experienced, there’s a big chunk
    of your time, effort and psychological power in learning
    the tech stack that you are going to be using in your daily job very
    nicely. If you happen to solely knew OOP once you started your skilled profession, all the issues shall be seen underneath
    that very same mild to you. It’s simple to get biased the longer you spend beneath a
    certain tech stack, and it may possibly shape the best way you concentrate on issues
    in methods that may typically limit you.
