So, I tried Stargate Universe while I was sick all weekend. Not only is every character either a walking stereotype, unlikeable, or both, but the stereotypes are some of the really aggravating ones. Who's got the anger-management issues? The black guy. What kind of person is the nerd? Overweight, badly socialized, and lusting after a girl out of his league. What's the only visible religion? Catholicism. Who's the tortured genius? One of many white males. And that's without getting to TJ, whose character arc you can call in 30 seconds and which kinda pisses me off as someone with a feminism tag.
It pretty much just made me want to go back and watch Farscape again.
