Not enough bang for your buck
As I write this on 8/24/10, the COMPLETE SEASON 1 Blu-ray set has been posted on Amazon for $41. This half set is still listed at $35. Why in the world is this 10 episode pack worth nearly as much as a 20 episode pack with more special features? I know MGM is in a coma these days, but it does not justify these price gouging tactics. If they had released the COMPLETE Season 1 set from the get go, I would have purchased it no problem. <br /> <br />I feel justified in waiting because the complete season 1 set will be worth the money.

Good first half.
I get that people are upset that SGU is not like SG-1 or SG-A but as the show has continued, it is beginning to go back to the formula that made the other Stargate shows great. They are visiting other worlds, fighing aliens, and have space battles. The first half of the series is about establishing the characters in the show and giving the viewer an insight into their minds as they are stuck on Destiny. I have a feeling as this show continues, it will keep on getting better. The one thing I would complain about is not about the show, it is the price. If you had this and the next season together, it will be about 70 bucks for one season set, that is VERY unreasonable.

A whole new level
We were hesitant to watch SGU because of all the negative reviews but we gave it a try anyway and are glad we did. The most important part of any show is the story. Add all the special effects you want but it won't make the show. SGU has a great story line and mystery. Ignore the bad reviews and judge for yourself. We are certainly glad we did.

This Is Not The Stargate You Know and Love
If you like SG-1 or SGA you will not like SGU. Just because it has a "Stargate" in it does not make it Stargate. The Stargate is just used to "beam them on and off the ship". It doesn't have the charm or humor the previous two shows had. SG-1 and SGA the team was a family, in SGU everybody hates everybody. Its suppose to be a character show but after watching all of the 1st season the sad thing is I don't care about any of the characters. They should have but this budget into the SG-1 and SGA movies. Just skip SGU and go get the SG-1/SGA DVDS, you will be much happier.

More like BSG than any SG
The show is a dark mostly humorless and actionless soap opera. It has none of the charm of the first two series. It's like watching the newer BSG(after season one), but without the great characters. I am very disappointed.
