I originally meant to write this post on April 2nd (where it would’ve simply been a late April Fool’s post, rather than a very late one).

They say that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is a mark of insanity. It can also, in my experience, be the mark of foolishness.

For the first half of Stargate Universe’s first season, I watched each episode desperately wanting to like the show. Unfortunately, I never quite reached that point. The show wasn’t horrible, but it just didn’t grab me the way the previous two series had done.

Still, the last couple of episodes had shown a little more promise than the initial “need of the week” ones, so I came back to give it another shot with the mid-season premiere, Space. It was much better than the first half season, though I’m 98% certain that’s because there was no use of the communication stones (well, not used to communicate with Earth, anyway) and we weren’t in the NotW mode that took up way too much of the first half of the season.

I’m going to stick around a while longer. Hopefully, Stargate Universe will grow on me.
