Seriously, no one gets away with criticising Stargate

[lemonbella]

Well, THAT just about sums up everything I've ever hated about the New Doctor Who

Dear Mr Davies,

The following things are better about Stargate than your show:

1) It's not ashamed about being sci-fi
2) It can do special effects, and doesn't think its audience is stupid enough to find a rubber mask convincing. Except in that episode with the fire, and that was because they didn't have much money.
3) Two of its producers spent the first week in their job thinking up words to the theme tune
4) Baal
5) The Canadian Airforce regularly lend it helicopters.
6) At no point have they thought it a good idea to employ Billie Piper.
7) The Furlings

I could go on, but I have Fifteen series of Stargate to go and watch.

With no love, and an extraordinary amount of ill-feeling, Me.

To be honest, he can say and do what he likes to Dr Who, but he didn't. He took a pot shot at a show he's obviously never watched and played to the usual "because it's got Star in the title it must be bad" knee-jerk anti sci-fi crowd. It also strikes me as the height of arrogance, when his show draws a fraction of the audience and following that Stargate does.

Of course you should watch the shows that you enjoy - there are plenty I watch that other people don't like (and that have some arrogant tosspots in charge of them as well!) I just won't hear anyone criticise Stargate without coming to its aid. It deserves that kind of loyalty.
