New director ruined the movie. That says it all. Yes, the book was way too big to bring it fully to the screen, it lacked action and contained too many intrigues and political nuances. It was hard to screen, but I'm sure, doable. Why not Mr. Columbus? Why not Mr. Cuaron? Why, at least, Mr. Newell, who's dark and depressive, but still whole and logical adaptation of the fourth book was quite watchable? But this, I-don't-know-who director, that has no big experience..

His movie looks torn apart. Cutting is awful. For viewer, unfamiliar with the book, events are odd and happening without order and logical connection between them. Such an "Blair Witch" effect in all. Special effects stepped down (remember, for example, talking through chimney with Sirius now and before).

Having watched all movies in a row, I stumbled upon last - like beautiful ladder suddenly ended with a missing footstep. Such a pity!

I started watching the show from the first season, and at the beginning I was pretty skeptical about it. Original movie was kind of childish, and I was just looking for some sci-fi show while waiting for the BSG new season.

But after few episodes I became a fan. I've loved the characters - the not-so-stupid-as-you-think-he-is Jack O'Neill, the not-only-smart Samantha Carter, the glorious Teal'c, women and kids favorite, and brilliant Dr. Daniel Jackson.

Of course, stories sometimes not serious, sometimes even ridiculous, but mostly it's not about technology or space fighting - it's about helping your friend, even risking your life for him. It's about "we don't leave anybody behind". Struggling to the end when all hope is lost. About the free will, and all good qualities that makes a human - Human.

And now it's breaking a record, going 10th season, and still doing good.
