Interesting point, P-C, but until we're sure, I'm sticking with my theory. It may be because those cupcakes looked cree-pee!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Watched SGU. I liked the kid - Eli?
They may be going for grit, but SGU is no BSG.
Did I see wrong, or did LDP's character get killed during the attack on the planet?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I watched the SGU premiere and didn't hate it. My worry is that these are Stargate writers trying to do BSG, and I fear it will not go well in the long term.

Why? Why did I watch? Maybe it was the train wreck thing, or maybe I just have some secret fondness for the Stargate universe in spite of all the times I wanted to scream at the writers for various horrifying ideas and Not Getting It moments.
Eli irritated me far less than I expected, for which I applaud the actor. He could have so been the Wesley, and I found him somehow more human. That could change in an instant, of course. Ming Na... hardly appeared.
I really don't intend to stay for the unsettling things I've heard about, but I wanted to see how it opens. My main first impression, compared only with the other two series pilots, is that I really don't much care what happens to these people. Okay then.

This very thing.
ETA: OK, I saw the clip for next week, and now I feel better, because LDP is kind of a huge draw for me. I was so confused that he was barely in the premier and didn't seem to be on the ship. Very confused. I guess he'll join via communication stones? Whatevs. Long as he's there.

I haven't read much about SGU, is it like BSG because Earth gets destroyed?

Earth is still around, but the ship they're on is 7 million light years away and counting, so the crew is (almost) as isolated as if they were the last humans alive. And the tone is all gritty and shakycam. And Robert Carlyle's character is basically Baltar on Xanax.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
And Robert Carlyle's character is basically Baltar on Xanax.
Is that good or bad?
