He got to write this why?
Hank Stuever reviewed Stargate Universe in today's Washington Post. I'm not sure why he got the gig - he clearly knows nothing about the genre. (He knows less about Stargate - he says
"the complicated "Stargate" canon (based on a 1994 movie, which begat a nest of "Stargate" TV series that came and went, going on 12 years now)"A nest? Two shows, buddy. That's hardly a nest. And then there's this:
Plagiarism is the notable rhetoric, down to how things look in space and what people out there ever say to one another. What, exactly, gives "Stargate Universe" the right to beam its heroes from ship to surface the way "Star Trek" does?Yeah. He seems to think Star Trek invented teleportation. And that it's not common currency in filmed (not to mention written) SF.
Now I'm not at all sure I'm going to like this new show. But his review is so out of touch it's ridiculous.
