"Mainstream television has, for a long time, under-served the science fiction loving segment. But with declining production costs, there seem to be two potential sources of alternative production/distribution: digital content (e.g. Netflix, Hulu) and crowd-funded projects. There's still not a lot of science fiction shows that are being produced by the major streaming services, but we'll probably see more with the success of Hulu's exclusive U.S. distribution of Misfits or Netflix's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Doctor Who. On the other hand, you have many enthusiastic upstarts on Kickstarter that look novel and engaging while having a surprisingly professional look to them.
Which do you think will ultimately be more successful? Do you have any recommendations for other good material out there, or is there something you would like to see?"

SG:U = Soap opera? Strange, because that's what I always got from any other SG show. To each, their own (universe).
The SG movie-length episodes were cool, but I really liked the 'out of control' feel SG:U had and the main(ish) character's introduction to the ship (via a video game, nonetheless!) was that dream that all nerds have.. Am I right or what??
I agree, too, that they got to the 'core' of the show's plot elements too quickly, as they had an entire UNIVERSE of possibilities to explore.
