I'm deliberately resurrecting this thread as I've just caught up with SGU yesterday, currently running at S02E03.
I'm quite enthusiastic.
Although I had a couple of difficulties with the high conflict potential among the crew for the first episodes, I came to like exactly that now.
This dark, rusty, somehow still uncontrollable ship and the sometimes extremely difficult people aboard (teamed with some very interesting character setups) is quite a successful formula IMO.
I found it very refreshing that this wasn't about "step through the gate, defeat villains, save world, head back last second".
Does anyone else actually like the show?
