I don't really think it's objectively any worse than the other Stargate shows, it's just ... the badness kind of goes in the opposite and far less emotionally fulfilling direction. I am willing to roll with a last-minute, WTF save on SGA because, well, I like the characters and don't want them to succumb to the certain-death scenario they've been stuck in. The SGU characters sort of ... do the opposite; they could save themselves, but they're quite often too incompetent or passive or too busy fighting to try.
