There’s a line in Home Alone when Kevin ventures into his scary basement and conquers his fear of the boiler whereby he exclaims, “I’m not afraid anymore!”

I felt like this while watching the last two episodes of Stargate Universe. Well, mine was more like, “I don’t hate it anymore!” I’ve mentioned all the reasons I didn’t care for it in a previous post, but I would say the most prominent reasons were that it undeservedly bore the name Stargate and that the acting was crap. I don’t know if it’s the hiatus that gave me time to cool my dread, or if the acting actually did get better, but “Space” wasn’t too painful at all. I still grit my teeth at this being part of the SG family, but what can I do?

I’m still not able to care enough to actually learn the characters’ names. I’m still thinking of them like this: David Tennant +20yrs as the leader, NOT!Ford as the Black guy, Ni-Chloe (ANTM meets Sci-Fi…for real) as the weepy girl, David Blue (ugh, but less ugh than before) as the can’t even touch Rodney gu), That Guy That May As Well Have Been In Avatar Since I’m Never Going To See It Anyway as the young military guy, That Guy Who Thinks This Is BSG as the older military guy, That Blond Chick Who Is So NOT Carter (but I like her) as apparently a doctor or something, and Ming Na (shrug). Hey, isn’t Lou Diamond Phillips supposed to be in there somewhere?!?

I’m not going back to watch the rest of the first half of the season, but I’m going to keep a watchful eye on this series in hopes it will join my list of fandoms.
