Anyone else find it ironic that this series ended up being a trek to the stars?
Endless traipsing through dim, clanking corridors by smarty-pants 20-somethings in low dudgeon.
Low-wattage lives examined in forensic detail.
Gazentyzillions of light-years from earth, yet the same old crap: boy meets girl leaves boy, sprinkled with tears and legato music most uninspired.
Science fiction has no inherent boundaries, yet Stargate Universe left unexplored all but the soapiest parts of the universe.
SU was store-bought Stargate as punched up by Bulwer-Lytton.

Loved the show, but one thing about it always bothered me. The opening credits show a traveling wagon train with Mt. Whitney behind them. This means that they were traveling east, from the southern Sierra Nevada. Wagon trains never traveled in that area, and if they were traveling east, well, they needed a new wagon master because they were lost. Not to mention the time of year, with snow choking the passes. The following is repeated text, to satisfy IMDb's ridiculous minimum word count. Loved the show, but one thing about it always bothered me. The opening credits show a traveling wagon train with Mt.

A well-done series ending. The ensemble of Perry plus four was magic. All legal dramas since have been pale derivatives. But I have few quibbles about the final show:
* The actual crew appeared on screen, deservedly, but their dialog seemed a bit too amateurish.
* Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins) should have been mentioned somewhere, for old time's sake. He was my favorite actor in the series, and his wry wit was sorely missed after his death.
* Fred Steiner finally appeared in the credits as the composer of the Perry Mason theme, which is entitled Park Avenue Beat. (Incidentally, live performances of the full piece are on YouTube.)
