Stargate "SG: fail-sauce"
Today I tried to watch some startgate. <== its a link to IMDB in case you don't know what SG is. I've got the second season of SG:1. As with most things I'll review on this site it came with the hearty recommendation of a friend, or a horde of them as the case may be. I've made it through half of the season and today I came to the realization that, I just don't care. It's time to be honest. The characters are cardboard cut out from other shows Let me make some comparison. 
The fearless Leader with all the one liners and nicknames who secretly loves his crew unto death but would never admit it.
The wanna be fearless sassy woman creature leader
The muscle with all the tribal issues played by an ever expanding black man.
I just can't help the feeling that I've seen these characters before and that I liked them better in the other costumes. Its not that the series isn't well done and shows growth in its characters its just that it pushes no boundaries. It takes no chances. I feel like its making a big deal out of nothing new.
I realize I haven't watched much yet (and then the Humphrey's are going to say "it gets way better"). I agree cause for now thats the only way it can go.
As I've said in other post Character development is critical to me. Its a pretty sad thing to come to the point that I say. Wow this black dude with the gold tat is gonna turn into some bugs. Know what? I DON'T CARE HE TALKS LIKE A RETARD!!! When better than half of your cast has a very clear parallel in another series its time fire some writers.
I realize this is a big series and that its gone a dozen seasons and spawned another show for a reason so I'm not giving up on it yet. I have hope, hope in one man to redeem the whole shebang.
I love the idea of a little weakling science nerd who manages to find him self off the porch with the big dogs more than he'd probably prefer. Could be I identify with his sense of ill preparedness or it could be that I'm drawn to the first unique thing I've seen out of this mess.
One more thing:
Their is just no comparison.
A little slidey ring thing with some Greek letters just can't compare to a space ship sorry. This series looses just on principal.
So far "Campers" I'm gonna have to give it only 5.5 mandibles out of 10. I'd avoid this one until I can do a little more recon.

Isn't Aaron cute?
Yes he is, but it’s actually spelt
D-A-S-H-I-N-G
There were some accusations that this post was a desperate cry for attention from an unruly undisciplined man/child. I wasn’t surprised to hear nothing by way of response or retort from the Men and painful wails from the “She-folk” I guess it was something of an emergency the morning after I posted it.
In my defense allow me to clarify. I really do think that the show is lame so far. Some people seem to forget that they’ve already seen all 15 seasons and fallen in love with the characters, not to mentioned seen them as they turned out to be and not as the stupid directors wanted them to be. Also, I really like the guy I compared O’Neil to. I’m not saying he isn’t cool I’m just saying I’ve seen him before.
One more thing as pertains to my accusation… IT WORKED… AARON WINS!!!
