As an FYI an HD version of the pilot for "Stargate Universe" is currently free on itunes (in the US anyway, I don't know about elsewhere) just in case anyone has a burning desire to see it.

(part one and part two- or just use the itunes search engine)

it'll be really interesting to see how the numbers stack up 3 or 4 episodes into it. A LOT of people tuned in solely because it was the premeire. But unless they were hooked they won't be randomly tuning in several weeks from now

Yep. There will be those who will be drawn to it because they think they're supposed to be. Either because it's Stargate or because it's OMG!EDGY!, but I don't think they can support a show on their own.

the majority of the newspaper/blog/whatnot reviews I saw seemed to be fairly positive, but 90% of the fan ones ranged from extremely negative to *meh*. Not a good sign.

Nope. Not good at all.

Now, if they listen to the fans, and adjust accordingly, they can get the audience, but hey. These are the Boyz from Bridge... I doubt they could adjust anything that isn't in their shorts.

*snickers* Lord knows they 'knew' what was best with SGA. Because Rodney/Jennifer and Ronon/what's-her-name were *such* popular pairings!

Not to mention the complete craphole they made of the last seasons of SG1. Cuz, y'know, they know best.

Yeah... let's not mention that...
