Re: 1.) I never really liked the idea of partisan politics. I have my own impression of what government is for and what it is not for, what stance to take on what issues, and which issues are of most importance to ms. I don't need a "party" to tell me which way to go. There are things from each party that I might agree with, things that I don't, but in the end I tend to side with the Democrats if only because they stand closer to my stance on the issues that matter to me. Really, I see the Republican Party as warmongering, corporate-owned elitists who intentionally drive social classes farther and farther apart all while telling everyone exactly how they need to live their lives, and the Democrat Party as spineless, cow-towing whiners who are too busy trying to be liked by everyone that they never get anything done. That's party; not individuals. That negative outlook might also have to do with my dislike for politics in general. And me being a misanthrope. :-/

Re: 2.) I'll be willing to checkout Universe, but to quote everybody in Star Wars "I have a bad feeling." I think it's a wasted explanation of the ninth chevron, even if it sets up for an interesting series theme, i.e. lost in the far reaches of the universe. I'm not so much complaining about the change in demographic, especially when you think how young Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping were when SG1 started. It's possible it could have an air of Star Trek Voyager. I'm hoping for more of a Starship Troopers: The Lost Battalion feel. Campy but not cheesy.
