Of all the elements in SG-U to dislike, the one I like the least is the genuine fallibility of the characters. The men and women who made up the cast and crew of Star Trek: TNG and SG-1 were very much classic Nietzschean paragons. They are strong, intelligent and above all relentlessly moral. If they are guided by principles they have chosen and are unapologetic in their decisions. In the heat of the moment they do not succumb to the dark side. They represent the best humanity has to offer. SG-U fails in this regard. Combined, its characters are guilty of every cardinal sin. In the darkness of space the light they shed is meager at best.
