This show seems to be the one show this season that really separated its fan base. There seems to be three groups battling it out over the internet, the lovers, the haters and the neutrals who like all the shows. While I didn’t necessarily liked all the episodes so far, I found the show enjoyable enough to like it so I consider myself in the group that likes all the Stargate shows so far.
What I don’t understand is the belief of some people that it is wrong for Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis fans to like the new show or that the Haters must hate all the other shows. While I could easily go the Shatner way and say: It’s just a show, I won’t because I believe that is rude for the fans, it may just be a show but lots of people are invested in it, therefore have the right to criticize if its not something they expected. We should also be aware that the producers told everyone before the show started to air that it will be a totally different show, so our expectations should have based on these descriptions.
One thing I would advise the producers to do in the second half of the season is to amp up the action a little. I know it is a drama but Stargate at its heart always had action.
