And yes, I did find this blog through Facebook.

This would really make HTC a powerhouse against players like Apple and RIM. I think RIM is the one who really needs to step their game up now.

Anyways let’s see… I already enjoy Stargate Universe quite a bit so I don’t need to give it another chance but I’ll give you some of my thoughts on the matter: I agree that the character drama was a bit much in the first half of the season. I love character drama… but only when it’s relevant to the plot… and… it was only really relevant about half the time.
I tend to like the episodes where they’re somehow facing the unknown or some kind of ontological mystery of some kind… the midseason premiere was a great example of what I mean and I think there should be more episodes like that.
I also want those stones to die. I don’t care what’s going on on Earth I’d much rather they be completly lost and on their own out in the universe I think that’s the only thing I really really want to change about the show.
I’m also getting a little tired of the use of the ship as a microcosm for society… I think thematically that’s been done to death in other series and so far they haven’t provided anything really original to the table. That’s probably the thing that makes it most like Battlestar Galactica too. I’m hoping that bundle of themes will be resolved soon so we can move ahead with more awesome exploration/ontological mystery type plot arcs.
I like the aliens. They were pretty cool and original compared to most of the cheesier alien species in the other Stargate series, but I’m not sure just having them as “The enemy of Stargate Universe” would be the best direction to go… I’m just hoping they bring something new and refreshing to the table compared with earlier series and don’t just get into another war with a random evil alien species just for the heck of defending Earth.

I love Dr. Rush. He’s probably the main reason I watch so religiously. He’s definitely got some secrets up his sleeve. My worry, now that he’s been having some very direct confrontations with the Colonel in the last couple episodes is that they might somehow resolve the Dr. Rush mysteries and while that would be really interesting to see… I’m not sure how they would retain my interest too much in the show if they resolve all the Dr. Rushisms… they’re also getting dangerously close to having a “Final Confrontation” betwee Rush and the Colonel… Technically they’re have been several already but obviously all were resolved without eliminating any of the tension… again the worry is that if they keep having confrontations without end it’s just gonna get old fast (although it might create a bit of humorous monotony which could play in the show’s favor), or if they do resolve it for good, what’s going to keep the tensions high afterwards?
This is a dilemma that most television shows have to face at some point between they’re 2 most rivaling characters… and it usually either breaks or makes the show… that is, unless something bigger, better, and more interesting comes along… which we can usually trust Stargate to provide.
As a sub-note, Dr. Rush is seriously starting to look like a pathetic push over. He needs some real payback on the Colonel to even the score I think. If he’s really smart though he’s probably waiting for an opportunity where people will see it as a justified act.

And yes, I did see Daniel Jackson in the trailer and I’m quite excited about that.
