My long lost love - Stargate Universe Season 2

My long lost love - Stargate Universe Season 2
My review will be of both season 1 and season 2 disc sets. You can't review one without the other as together they form one of the best Sci-fi TV shows in recent times. I will be using the same review for both.I remember when Stargate Universe first came out in 2009. Hubby and I loved SG-1 and we watched Atlantis but were not impressed. Right from the first episode of Universe we were enthralled.Each episode was action packed with never a dull episode. The first season was character building and the second season followed with new and exciting story lines. I could see the possibility for several seasons coming but unfortunately the series was cancelled. Talk about a heart breaker.Hubby and I never saw an episode again until the Comet channel started carrying Universe this summer. Watching these reruns made us want to purchase the two season DVD sets. They are currently available at less than $9 a season and I haven't found a deal better than that.The first season is a six disc set while the second season is a five disc set. Hours upon hours of entertainment. Fall in love all over again with Stargate Universe. I can not recommend these two season sets enough!The first season DVD set has over 2 hours of Special Features plus commentaries on each episode. Included are the Kino video diaries, chatting with the cast featurettes and extended version of the season premiere episode "Air" and more!The second and final season has interviews with the cast of SG-U, behind the scenes featurettes including Deconstructing Destiny, audio commentary by cast and producers on all episodes, Pitches: A Journey of Friendship and Discovery and Behind the Season 2 finale - Gauntlet and more!These two season DVD sets are a must have for your collection!

I have been a fan of the Stargate Worlds for years.
This SGU edition is a departure from the Stargate
themes of old, and takes place primarily on a starship.
They try to survive various ordeals on board the ship, and
eventually encounter various enemies to overcome. This is a
much more serious Stargate than the previous editions.
Comedy is not something that is bantered about too often.
I like it. SG1 partook to comedy quite often, and SGU is much
more serious.

The plotting is excellent, and the acting is spot on too.
I really cannot think of anything I do not like. The characters are fun,
and very likeable. The bad guys are bad and not goofy. Like westerns,
I like my bad guys or enemies to be evil or deadly, which adds some
desperation to the scenarios. A lot of time, the bad guy is the ship, because
they do not know everything about it, and how to maintain it for optimal
survival of all. Once you get by the, this isn't Col. Jack O'Neill edition joking about
a death defying situation every two minutes, you settle into a much different
Staragate Universe that really puts out the entertainment. You want to watch the
next episode immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars > THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION SERIES EVER MADE
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2011

Note: there is a petition on the internet asking Netflix to continue the series. Find it, sign it.

GREAT CHARACTERS--ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW THEM
I was under-whelmed with the first year, as it was broadcasted. In part, nothing ever got resolved within an episode, instead each episode ended with a cliff-hanger. The show just seemed dreary. Moreover, I did not immediately "take" to the characters. In most series characters develop over several seasons. When viewers have become invested in the characters, then the character-heavy episodes begin to become frequent, usually in the third season of a series. SGU was character-heavy from episode 1---which is simply not interesting if you don't like the characters, and don't care about what happens to them. Initially, I found none of the major characters likable.

BEST WATCHED IN BINGES
Viewing the first year on DVD , 3 or 4 episodes at a time, is an entirely different experience. Events develop and become satisfyingly resolved. After having seen the entire season (or series) several times, I become invested with the characters, so they mattered to me, so the story becomes a much richer experience. Now, I really like all of the characters. Still, it is a tad disappointing that even in Stargate Universe, there's more "romance" than science fiction.

RUSHED SECOND SEASON--I WANTED MORE DEPTH
The second year is much more fast-paced, and more exciting. There are cliff-hangers which detract from some individual episodes. But instead of annoyance that nothing was ever resolved within an episode, my impression was that the story felt "rushed" in the second year. I would have appreciated another episode with the seed ship, perhaps several episodes about the "simulated reality" to develop the story better, and several more episodes with the "Destiny-survivor descendant colonies".

ADEQUATE ENDING
As to the ending, in my opinion it was as good as it could be. No ending which allowed for the possibility of the story being continued, with or without the same cast, would have been really satisfying. In a continuation, any or all of the old crew could "wake up", and/or an entirely new cast could "gate-in", to replace the old crew. Maybe SGU will be continued, in a year, or 5 years, or 10 years---the well designed ending allows for almost any possibility. Of course, I really hope for a continuation soon, with the same cast.

THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION SERIES EVER MADE
Even with these caveats, I'd rate Stargate Universe as THE best science fiction series ever made, given that it lasted only 2 years. Sure, there are dozens at least equally good individual SG1, SGA, and Startrek episodes, but most of those are exceptions among the drek. In most historical sci-fi series (SGU, SGA, Startrek), a 33% rate (1 in 3) of "really good" episodes is about as good as it gets, indeed some whole seasons of previous sci-fi series (such as Startrek Voyager) were duds (ST-V remains one of my favorites regardless of the high rate of duds). SGU ran 75--80% "really good" episodes. I count only three "duds" among the 40 episodes, and even those aren't really bad, but rather are "fillers" which fit no particular place in the overall story.

GROWS ON YOU
I still prefer the imaginative sci-fi of SG1 and SGA. Yet SGU stands up to re-viewing better. Although I love the weird aliens, strange worlds, bizarre astro-physical phenonmena, and battles in space---once you've seen an SG1 or SGA episode several times, it begins to get a bit thin. In contrast, SGU grows on you. In a third season, SGU might have evolved into the perfect combination of "real characters", great acting, and real sci-fi. Indeed, the premise of exploring galaxies not seeded (with humans) by the Ancients, together with less expensive computer graphic, could have allowed for option of introducing non-human aliens on a scale not previously seen in a TV series. The "descendant colonies" could have provided a bridge in many ways, even for a spin off (SGD).

THE SYFYLITIC NETWORK
I assume that I am not the first to note that the Sci-Fi Network has become the SyFylitic Network, there's hardly any Sci-Fi left.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back To The Source
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2012

Wasn't a fan of the various Stargate series. Not that they were bad, far from it. But I never found any of the various spinoffs particularly engaging. Collectively speaking they were lightweight; more entertainment than a serious exploration of space and the potential of truly interacting in a cosmic community. That is until Stargate Universe.

And I can see why the show "failed". It's the exact same reason why I got into it.

Universe was different. A bleak and incredibly realistic approach in comparison to the typical scifi fare. More akin to the rebooted ' Battlestar Galactica ' than any of the other Stargate programs, SGU was the diametric opposite of the comic book-like world of SG spinoffs; shows that were for the most part happily populist, predictably linear, and somewhat derivative - in my opinion.

To me, SGU was going back to the source, the original film. A fantastical journey grounded in a world inhabited by realistic characters; tangible and fleshed people who weren't exaggerated cardboard cutouts intended for the tried-n-true scifi production line.

In fact, you can see how inappropriate the cast of SG-1 was inside the SGU universe.

Anytime he was on screen, Richard Dean Anderson's smarmy disinterested Gen. McNeil stood out like a goofy geek at a gathering of Green Berets. Rarely are comic book-type characters feasible on a dramatic stage.

In a sense, Universe combined two favorite programs: ' 24 ' and ' Star Trek Voyager ' with a touch of one of my favorite sleeper hits - ' Defying Gravity '. And I would make this observation: When Scott Ian of Anthrax came out as a fan of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica, he made the comparison between it and Star Trek - by laughing. He said the only thing they had in common was outer space; noting that BG was filthy, grungy, and truly desperate. You could smell body odor, see the tattered clothing, and even noted that he had been to the soundstage that housed the commander's toilet. Up close and personal, he commented that you wouldn't want to sit on it, not ever. That's the difference between SGU and other space faring programs - genuine filth and ugliness. And despite my fondness of Trek, my appreciation for SGU went so much deeper.

Universe tells the story of a frazzled and disjointed group of civilians, scientists, and soldiers - forced to seek the only safe refuge available to them by way of a wholly unique planet-sized Stargate. A place quite literally beyond anything any known standard Stargate has ever achieved. The few pitiful survivors just barely make it to what appears to be a starship. But freakishly it's not one that has seen occupants for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of years.

Was the ship abandoned? Who built it? Why? How is it still active after all those years? What was its purpose? And most importantly - how do they get home? Questions that the ragtag group have to figure out.

Carrying precious little water, scraps of food from survival rations, almost no medicine, and dealing with what appears to be a spacecraft coming apart at the seams - the group's constant companion is Death. Likely to be a one-way trip for the survivors, that terrible realization only hits them as they begin to settle into the cavernous ship they learn has a name: Destiny. With it, a simmering resentment that comes and goes like an evil tide, forcing them to deal with various factions and changing loyalties; pushing them to determine who will be in charge and what their ultimate goal should be. But not before undergoing mistrust, fear, tumultuous anger, and in-fighting over their stranded isolation.

Uncommonly, the cast were completely developed and fully-realized characters out of the gate. Exceedingly unusual, as most know that the first season of any program is often the shakedown phase; actors and writers learning the ins-and-outs of the roles, becoming better defined, and settling in as their on-screen personas. Few shows ever look and feel as polished in their premiere as Universe did, very few.

SGU was an incredible and imaginative journey, something I could relate to and - all things being equal - would wish for if given the chance. Typically, the greatest enjoyment I derive from dramatic television is the same reason I enjoy certain novels: I think of myself as one of the characters, picturing myself in the story, so as to better relate to the adventure.

Absolutely five stars. No question.

Conforme à la description amazon, bien que les langues audio et sous-titres indiquées au dos du coffret ne correspondent pas aux langues des DVD. Il y a bien l'audio Français, anglais et allemand.

Mais c'est clairement un import allemand et non anglais comme le titre le suggère.
