That's my point exactly Omni, it's not geared towards your audience, so why try and ram it down your throat? I personally loved BSG's style, but not always the execution. SGU tried to emulate the style but without the substance needed to fill that style, kinda like getting the clothes to match a trend but not fitting the personality of that trend.
BSG was a space opera geared towards drama and character development. I don't see what's so shocking that fans of action/adventure/lighthearted/plot don't like it.
to true but imo SGU emulated the styling exactly only dif was they are in the SGverse.
i disagree with the lighthearted statement as it sort of implies action adventure fans are "low brow" as the SGU squees refers to us, trust me it doesnt have to be light hearted it can be as complex and mind bogling as possible as lonag as its executed good.
what i persoanlly have issues with is "forced" tension thru un neccesary drama where they try to get this feeling out of the audience but all such things fall falt on their ass in my case as imo thats NOT how real people act, most people act emotionally and irationally in such situations and trying to re-enact such a thing on camera just ends up HORRIBLE, and to me its not even ontresting to see such a thing in reality bc the people are just making asses out of themselfs.. and imo standing around and talking talking talking and talking about what you were talking about earlier makes awfull awfull entertainment... focus on the damned task at hand stop being eachother psykologists FFS and get on with it.
in both sgu and BSG there is this highschool thread running thru em with this suposed "realistic" human interaction (drama) but to me it isnt realistic its 90210 basicly pure and utter crap and i dont enjoy it one bit.
)So I saw the "changes" to canon as merely lost information in TOS or TNG's time. I did love however that ENT had Romulans...just as shadowy behind the scenes characters.
