SGU really took a wrong turn and shouldn't have been made. Only the premise was good, everything else (except maybe the graphics) was garbo. It was basically a space drama with people seemingly stuck in their highschool years. Stuck billions of light years away and the best they could do was argue about rank.
It's like they took their Wormhole Xtreme joke about "younger and edgier" and made it into a real series.
its basically voyager/reimagined BSG, mostly bsg because the newest one avoided anything too futuristic, and no aliens(i believe the original had aliens in it).
even arguing about rank could have been interesting. you're x bajillion lightyears from home, can a rank structure that was part but now cut off from a massive organization survive? should it? does the military answer to the government staff aboard in leau of an elected commander in chief, or is the military in total control because the situation warrante it? or just because they have the guns? where do the civilians fit into that? there are so many interesting angles to explore, they just... didn't
That is a recurring issue? It happens in the show several times? They even have an "attempted coup" to get civilian control - the military command on the ship disobey earth lots of times
season 1 was a whole filler season, that doomed the series, they shouldve met with an overarching enemy/aliens the first or 2nd episode getting on the destiny. instead we had some sand bugs, and some aliens later.
