Which of these two currently produced science fiction shows do you think is better, Stargate Universe or V?

I´ve only seen a couple of episodes of Stargate Universe and I hated it! The other two previous shows were much better IMO. I´ve never seen V, they don´t broadcast it here.

Stargate Universe has picked up steam quite a bit. Loved the last 3 episodes.

It still tickles me that V is back (it's an 80s show...;) Haven't seen it, but i could see the marketing guys saying' hey, it worked for BSG...;)
SGU is literally a 'ship in a bottle' show, something like DS9, but without many guest aliens...it needs to have some interaction with the 'middle of nowhere'...;)

SGU only because it's a quasi-original idea where V is just a remake of what's been done already.

As of late, there has been quite a bit of interaction, especially with aliens of all things.

I enjoyed the original V (up to a point). It had a porn star Jane Badler play the Alien Bad Girl. Hot stuff. The current V has an actress that was in Firefly play the Alien vamp.

It seems like a lot of people haven't seen the tv show V in their area. Here is a link, which will hopefully work in more than just America, http://www.hulu.com/v


I had the 1983 movie (or compilation of tv shows that my dad recorded) V on VHS for a while, until my stepdad decided to throw away all the old vhs tapes and buy dvds to fill the space they were in.... I thought the older one was good, but the newer one is better IMO.
