SGU really picked up in the second season and a third season would have been great

There was way too much shouting in that show for my taste. The pudgy genius who figured out how to get on the ship was annoying as all hell. And the dumb factions they made on the ship "me strong me should be in power!", "me brainy, me should be in power!", "me shout louder, ME SHOULD BE IN POWER!". So much unnecessary drama. You could really see the evolution from SG-1, to Atlantis, to Universe how they relied more and more on drama to stay interesting.

I'm glad they ended it as IMO, it was a failed execution of a great idea.
