Once upon a time, Sci-Fi Friday had some of our favorite shows: Farscape, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. Now, the recently-renamed "Syfy" channel has drek. Stargate Universe is nearly unwatchable for us. It's boring, and we dislike almost every character. We hope they get past the "low on resources" phase and move into a "meet some aliens" phase fast. Plot of every show so far:

"We're out of [resource]!" "Hey, look, our ship has magically taken us to a planet with [resource]!" Characters take an hour to dramatically retrieve [resource] from planet. Rush acts like a jerk the entire time.

The only episode we liked consisted of killing off the entire cast, but unfortunately, that fate was averted by sending a message back in time (using a method completely ripped off from SG1).

Following Stargate Universe is Sanctuary, a really cheesy show that's still watchable because it doesn't try too hard to be more serious than it is.
