Exactly. I think the new schedule is stupid for a number of reasons, but Sci Fi seems determined to ruin everything good on its schedule. What they're doing with Battlestar Galactica still boggles my mind.
For BSG it makes sense. It's a long time yes, but I feel it's better than a 3-4 month break in the middle. Basically, it gives the writers less opportunities to do big cliffhangers. And the BSG ones are the worst. Waiting 6 months to see wether or not Galactica and Pegasus were gonna duke it out was terrible. I much prefer getting the final 20 episodes, in 20 straight weeks.
as for SGA, I'm not really concerned if it is driven into the ground. The show has so much potential, that they just never seem to tap into. The show needs to get a little more serious. SG1 was the same way at the beginning, but once Daniel really died for the first time, the show really picked up.
it's what I don't like about SGA... it's too fanciful. SG1 had a good balance of humor and sarcasm, as well as the other stuff. But SGA is like slapstick in comparison. I'm refering to the 'not taking itself too seriously' aspect of SG1. SGA don't seem to take itself at all seriously. That's what really pisses me off about the show. And other than Taela, Ronin and McKay and Zilenka, I pretty much hate the rest of the cast, IMO, they suck. I'll keep watching and discussing, but SGA is definately a show of secondary importance
