It's not my type of hair why I never watched it tell now. It's. Not that good. At least for me. But I wanted to watch it at least once all the way through.

This is one of the very few shows that have actual proper lesbian relationship and representation I have seen. No weird fetishizing of it or infantilization just two women who love each other. I really appreciate that for the show.

I’m one of the few people who actually enjoyed this show and wish they would reboot it.

    Season 1 of Universe was rough, but they really hit their stride in S2 and I was very disappointed it got cancelled when it did.

    I think I actually like S2 of Universe more than a lot of Atlantis. I always felt like they played it a bit safe with SGA, and it just felt like SG1 but in a different location. Which is fine and obviously a lot of people liked that, but the thing I appreciate about Universe is that they tried something different. I think if they'd fully committed to it and cut off the ship's contact with Earth, which would then mean less stupid soap opera drama, the show might have done a lot better.

    I didn't really like it when it aired and avoided watching it for many years. Never was a fan if the BSG/Lost show format with constant drama and flashbacks. The episodic style of SG1 and Atlantis, that's my groove.

    But I watched it all the way recently and honestly grew on me. Still not a fan of all the filler drama and style of plot, but it has its good moments. And there's some decent acting in there. Definitely worth a watch.

    even if you like BSG, it definitely had it's ups and downs. when BSG started, it really sung, and then as it lost steam, it almost became a parody of itself at times. and the thing with Universe for me was that it skipped past the being good part and felt like a bad later season of a once good show

    I couldn’t get into it. It was too much drama/not enough happening. Maybe I should give it another chance.

    What helped me was going in with zero expectations. I watched as it aired but fell of. It was just not a Stargate.

    So when I rewatched years later I told to myself I'm not watching a Stargate show - and with this simple trick, it became quite enjoyable. And in S2 I noticed that Stargate elements actually do peak through.

    And come second half if S2 (which I didn't see back then) I realized it became a true Stargate show (though, granted - a bit more serious.and gritty - but with a genuine Stargate soul).

    I was devastated that it ended once I reached the end.

    It’s just too much yelling. Atlantis had a similar thing where people were just yelling all the time.
