Everybody is a critic. There were some bad episodes but in general this was decent SF. 7/10 in my book. I find series like V or The Event unwatchable but to each their own.

Lost already was brainwashed! 
If anything Stargate Universe attempted an ambient similar to BSG, but failed completely in importing the elements that made BSG the masterpiece hat it is, plus, it wasn't 1% as deep or coherent as BSG was!

ship was ok enough, it just didn't happen much on the sides. We saw one alien race? the blue creatures. And by that i think of intelligent aliens.

@Hfric I disagree, one can make a very good story about one shit and its crew, diverse history, endeavors, etc. Take the Rama series or even BSG; at its core it is about the Galactica and its crew.
So they could have made it work no doubt. But talentless writers and godawful actors (extras on BSG were on a whole different league than most of the starring ones here  ) drove this into a big pile of...

You don't have to sell me how bad the SG series are, I know it. Someone said they ruined the SG franchise whith this show. Nope, they ruined the franchise with the first episode of the first show. Not that the flick was that good, but compared to the shows, it was great.
And you obviously have not watched BSG.

You can say all you want, but the last few (4-5) episodes where finally getting somewhere.
From those episodes on, if they followed it up with more action and more tension, then they would be just fine as a series...

seen the remake of BSG ... it was crap nothing epic about it...and yes it was based on the bible... they followed a star , starbuck died when she cased a ghost and resurrected [she became Jesus the prophet] and cylons that heard song [real coordinates to earth] became her apostles, that old fart that lost a eye in was one of first cylon and his slutty wife where a cylon... oh and the and suicidal mission to save a girl ....LULZ and in the end GOD [the image of Gaius that scientist that Six female cylon only saw] and DEVIL [that female cylon Six that psychotic Gaius scientist only saw] wanted to start it again ... and then after a YEAR they made a straight2DVD flick THE PLAN that wanted to explain the shit storyline ... it was a crap show like LOST , hypnotic but shit .... the original was 10x more fun
sorry but you fucking don't mess with Starbuck , he was a man now a sissy female

the only thing good about BSG was the CGI space battles, people only watched it for the cgi the story was meh ... the only good scifi show to date is Babylon5 |
  
There isn't even a possible comparison between Babylon 5 and BSG.
Babylon 5 was a good sci-fi show, BSG was a masterpiece that transcended and achieved excellence in virtually all dramatic categories.
And no, if anything the CGI was the worst aspect of BSG.

It was, and they did a great job with making the ships look capable of real space flight, they choose to keep sound in space, but that is just forgivable in the face of such sublime art piece.
What I was trying to convey in my above post was merely that even if the CGI was ugly and average, BSG would still be one of the best television shows ever produced, right at the top with shows like The Shield, Band of Brothers and probably The Wire (which I haven't saw yet).

Is The Shield really that good? I was always ignoring it because it's so popular in the USA, if that makes any sense

It is a very intense and action oriented show (probably the reason why it was popular in the US), but for you to understand, I'll put it like this, the action in The Shield was like the CGI in BSG, great, but not the reason that made the show good, if you haven't watched it, I really recommended it, because sincerely it's one of the best multi layered shows that I have ever watched.
I liked BSG the most because it is more philosophically deep and in some senses abstract and poetic which is something I personally love, but if I ignore my subjective preferences, I really can't place one over the other in terms of raw quality and overall excellence.

Hmm you can bicker all you want but the original Star Trek series beats all. It was capable of putting a lot humanist (non religious) ideas through the networks.

Pff please go to your own topics, this is SGU topic, not some random yes/no, this/that is better/worse with things totally unrelated to SGU.

it doesn't end on a cliffhanger
it's really the only end they could have made in the time they had other than just ending it abruptly
