They worked well at times but sometimes were too obvious.<br /><br />The aliens worked really well for me because they still were mysterious. If they'd spoken English or looked too much like humans, it would have failed. I've also been watching these slowly, so it felt like the right time in episode 11 to bring in an alien threat. Still, I can see how it made seem less character-driven.<br /><br />I totally agree about the ways that past events hang over the characters for a long time. You can see it in reaction shots and facial expressions that often last just a moment. What isn't said is quite powerful on SGU, especially with a quieter guy like Young.

It just didn't fit or, like you say with Space - too on the nose. Still it's a change from previous SG franchise shows. <br /><br />Also what I found different was how SGU deals with consequences of previous episodes. You really feel that every action in the SGU world will have a reaction - and we're still dealing with Young's decision. <br /><br />I wasn't sure about the aliens when I first saw them. I was actually slightly disappointed that SGU had gone to the ol' alien as villains thing a little too early. I was enjoying the character heavy episodes. Still, guess the aliens had to come into play at some point.Jainahttp://time-wellspent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-81978689452154927072016-02-18T12:02:46.737-06:002016-02-18T12:02:46.737-06:00Thanks!
