Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Takes time to appreciate
It's pretty slow to start. My initial reaction to the show itself was pretty negative after Stargate Atlantis was cancelled, but I tried to watch this anyway. I didn't like the first episode and quit right there. Years later, having re-watched the previous Stargate series, I decided to give Universe another shot, and this time around I find it to be much better. I do still think it's slow to start, but there's a good story in there somewhere. Also, it's always nice to see appearances from former cast members. Since we know this is the last part of the TV franchise, I'd say it's worth watching just to have the whole story.
Holy smoke!!!! This show was amazing and very entertaining in the same tradition as SG-1 & SG Atlantis. I am so mad they cancelled it because the end of season two left so many questions! Great characters, thrilling plot, tid bits of romance and fabulous science fiction. Even though it doesn't have an official ending, I still recommend watching it for the experience alone.
Not as exciting as the original Stargate. I did like that the members of Stargate SG1 showed up now and then. It was interesting but not as exciting. Did get a little bored at times.
