Why Stargate Universe Failed

posted by

A few years ago, I wrote an article entitled ‘Why Stargate Universe Is Destined To Flop‘.  I was right, it did.  But not for the reasons I predicted. Stargate Universe was actually a pretty decent show.  I’d go so far to say a very good show.  I didn’t think it would be.  I predicted it being a slightly darker Atlantis, when it actual fact, it was much, much darker. Therein lay part of the problem. Stargate Universe was simply too dark for the Stargate franchise.  SG-1 and Atlantis were quirky shows, full of humour and heroic characters who saved the day.  Universe told the story of humans; flawed,...

Review: Doctor Who – A Town Called Mercy

posted by

A Town Called Mercy In Brief: The Doctor. A Doctor. Two sides. One coin. In Depth: The latest Who offering promised a Wild West adventure… and we most certainly got it!

In-brief:  Pleasantly delighted. In-detail:  Following the decidedly average Stargate: The Ark of Truth, I wasn’t really holding out too much hope for the second movie.  It sounded tagged-on, perhaps even somewhat unnecessary. I was wrong. Stargate: Continuum might well...

In Brief: Satisfying. But unfulfilling. Details: It’s been one hell of a ten years for the series Stargate: SG1. We’ve had the original movie back in 1994. Then the series followed. Then a spin off series. Another spin off lays in development. And now we’re back to the...
