As time goes on, they keep upping the ante on it and it becomes more of a continuous plot kinda thing. The occasional one off monster appears, but it tends to be much more of a book of revelations kinda cataclysmic thingy. I have no idea how far in that begins to happen though, as I've been watching the thing as episodes come out almost since the beginning. If you ever watched X-Files back in the day, it's kinda like that: you've got one off episodes and plot advancing ones, and the number of the latter increases as the years go by.jorgebonafe wrote: FC, I started watching Supernatural on Netflix a few months ago. I watched like 8 or 9 episodes, and the whole "monster of the week" thing annoyed me so much I couldn't watch anymore. What do you think about that? Does the series change at all on the following seasons? Everyone seem to like it, but so far it's just not my thing....
If you aren't enjoying it at the start though, not sure if I'd recommend sticking with it. Looking at a list of episodes, I think the big stuff only starts happening towards the end of season 2, and even then, I think it begins in slow drips.
My theory is that they alienated their existing fan base. I used to watching a bit of the other Stargate series, but I was never hardcore into them, so when I started watching Universe, I didn't really have any expectations and wound up loving it. For existing fans though, I think the total lack of the campiness from the others may have turned them off, because it really has next to nothing to do with the rest of them. Meanwhile, people that didn't like that camp had given up on Stargate years before, so were unlikely to try a new one.Stormweaver wrote:I'd love to know what it was that made SG:U get canned so early. I thought it was great, and I can barely stand to watch TV these days.
But yeah, it was fucking awesome. IMO, right up there with the Battelstar reboot as the best in modern scifi.
