Losing Interest

I find myself increasingly bored with Stargate: Universe, to the point where I don’t think I’ll be giving it any further attention. It’s becoming a soap opera, which sudden yet inevitable betrayals which are shockingly reversed, and then reversed again. Meanwhile there isn’t enough storyline complexity to give a sense of reality, and there aren’t enough plot developments which stretch across multiple episodes in a meaningful way.

Plus, the characters still aren’t acting intelligently enough, and their stupidity is dumb rather than being a human flaw.

I don’t think the show’s writers have enough experience in writing non-episodic stories in episodic formats.
