  • Stargate Universe got a raw deal. It was a really great extension of the overall Stargate mythos. Between SG1 and Atlantis, they’d basically gone as far as they could. The teams had defeated gods, both figurative and literal. They had limitless technology at their disposal and each new season became a slog to another deus ex machina.

    SGU essentially reset the entire premise back to zero while keeping the overall accumulated canon in place AND it presented a much better conflict/goal than the typical “we must defeat these new powerful aliens before they destroy humanity”.

    But it didn’t fit with the tone of the previous shows so a lot of the fans were turned off. Too much “drama”, not enough zat guns. Plus that was the time when SciFi rebranded to “SyFy” and started showing shit like WWE.

    I would LOVE to see them do another season picking up right where they left off. It would absolutely fit within the established timeline.


  • Severance is an amazing show on every level. Writing, casting, acting, design… every single facet is brilliantly executed. The season finale was insane. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

    I haven’t felt this excited for a second season premiere since the second season of Lost.

    Not to mention Ricken. He may be one of my favorite fictional characters ever. He’s an endless well of brilliantly mindless quotes:

    A society with festering workers can not flourish just as a man with rotting toes cannot skip.

    If you’re as obsessed as I am, you should check out the Severed podcast by Allen Stare. Dude does a DEEP dive into each episode and it’s a great companion to the show.
