Stargate it was

I have never been a big fan of Stargate, but something about Stargate Universe (SGU) series which drew me to it. I was pretty sure it was its parallel with Star Trek Voyager, which I follow during my years in medical school. Both were about a bunch of military type, thrusted into unknown space in a secluded ship to fend for themselves on a long journey back to Earth, something that Battlestar Galactica did very well - another one of my favourite series.

I managed to get the final installment of the series from my usual "dealer". All three DVDs of them, and so far I have finished a couple of them. I was saving the last disc for the weekend. It should be a finale and as expected, they would found Earth. Both in Galactica and Voyager, after going through all the adversities, the endings were rather anticlimactic. Let's hope that this one won't disappoint. The sad thing about SGU was, it just recently got cancelled after a couple of seasons. I must confess that the first few episodes of this second season were rather disappointing and predictable. The character arches were not fully developed, and it was such a drag propelling the whole story forward. It was clear that once the series got canceled, the writers were somewhat liberated. All the characters appeared more matured and complete. It was as if the constraints for character development were fully lifted. Everything went. I would blog after seeing the grand finale and see how everything fell into place ..... So watch this space!
