Joe Mallozzi, in his wordpress blog, tells blogosphere to stop criticizing SGUgh because we're making the Baby Jesus and the moms of cast members cry. Stay classy, Joe.

Something called "The Lefty Film Blog" reviews SGU and says it suxxor.

Ratings for the October 30th airing of SGU:

, the October 30th episode of "Stargate Universe" drew 1.97 million viewers (-2%) and a 0.8 A18-49 rating (n/c). Week-to-week there was very little loss, but the viewer figure is a new series low (it tied a series low in A18-49 rating). Lead-out "Sanctuary" drew 1.61 million viewers (-5%) and a 0.5 A18-49 rating (n/c). Note: Ratings for last night’s episodes (Nov. 5th) of both series will be known next week.

The ratings bit is at the tail end of this post, right above where the comments start:

I don't know the formula for converting number of viewers to Nielsen HH rating, but it the article shows that Smallville's 2.92 million viewers is a 1.7 HH rating. SGU's 1.61 million viewers is nearly half of Smallville's count. I'm not sure SGU even got over 1.0.

Edited because I was looking at Sanctuary's numbers there, not SGU's. Either way - not so good since Oct. 30th was a series low. Halloween may have hurt them, though.

tellesilla already mentioned this in a new entry, but:

Maureen Ryan, columnist for the Chicago Tribune, responds to another whiny bitch SGU showrunner, Brad Wright this time…

She reviewed SGUgh back in October, too:

The show isn't worthy of meta, but I can't help commenting. Usually about how damn bad it is. I've basically been posting weekly about the show since it began.

On LJ:
Air I&II,
Air III,
Darkness & Light
Water
Earth


On Dreamwidth
Air I&II,
Air III,
Darkness & Light
Water
Earth

And yes, the predominant theme is: Robert Carlyle=brilliant, rest of shiplocked cast=utterly pants. Hope you don't mind the self-pimp.

And now… the cat macros!

Why one Stargate Fan has stopped watching Universe: http://www.cinemaspy.com/article.php?id=3600

Call me an unimaginative traditionalist, but I like space operas that have a sense of fun.
