Yep. And the ratings for SGU are about the same, or worse, than SGA's ratings, so they're not drawing in the additional audience they intended to find. *schadenfreude!*

"Bu-but we did character flashbacks like Lost, and everything's grim and some people are assholes like on BSG! Why aren't people tuning in?"

IMO, it's because these writers were barely competent at churning out pulpy, goony gee-whiz sci-fi by simplistically ripping off the likes of Trek and Star Wars. Trying to rip off more complex shows is demonstrating exactly how limited their abilities really are.
