I finally finished the end of the last season and watched the first two of this season on Hulu.
It's... not awful. I was honestly expecting it to be worse, because it's the third of the franchise, and they have a very tough act to follow.
But I am seriously feeling your pain on the lack of admirable characters. Bastards in Spaaaaaace, indeed.
And also, yes, the 'let's let him bleed to death rather than amputating or even just tourniqueting' is freaking ridiculous. The mercy kill was awkward and unnecessary.
I feel frequently like the whole show is trying a little TOO hard to be Battlestar Galactica. I mean, we've even got a psuedo-hallucinated blonde past-love-interest showing up around the accented crazy genius of dubious morals. And hello civilian female 'president' versus hardened military leader. Stranded on a ship far, far from home, stopping at planets to resupply! They already did this on TV, remember?
Stop this, and go back to humor-injected, like-able stuff! The WIT was always one of the best parts of SG, and I'm not really seeing much of that right now. It's like watching a smart teenager wallowing in emo. You know they've got more to offer than that, but they aren't doing a good job of proving it.
I haven't given up on it yet. But I'm also not over the moon about it, in any way.
