It's a mixed bag, for me.
Charitably, I could say that they were a little ahead of their time. Something I've noticed about nearly all of the best TV/Movies/etc. these days is that they're all heavily character-focused. It's the well-written characters that are the soul of good stories, and the situations and settings are just a vehicles for character exploration and interaction. So, Universe, from my perspective, was an attempt to make a character-focused show.
But the characters they WROTE in Universe... well, there were a few really good ones, a few reeeeeeeeeeally not so good ones, and a lot of rather boring mediocre ones.
That being said, it's still Stargate. I stillnreally liked the show and wasnpissed it got cancelled. I refuse to believe it was because the show got really bad numbers, on its own merit. But there is quite a lot to criticize about it.
