It's too bad that the money people behind the Stargate Franchise are foolish enough to have bought into this show. Now they'll be hesitant to put money into another sci-fi show with potential.
I liked both Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. Sure, sometimes SG-1's sets and costumes looked cheap (especially in the Showtime years), and the continous over-the-top bad guys theme got a little stale, but both shows made excellent use of a mixture of drama, action, and comedy to make the viewers keep coming back for more.
SGU on the other hand is just dull. Covering Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs could have been done in 1-2 episodes, not drawn out across the season. Adding sex and lesbian plot lines would maybe be interesting if there was actually some skin (okay, I'm a nerdy perv) but they show more flesh on network daytime soaps.
No, this franchise has jumped the shark.
