Well, see, the people that 'created' Paris not only get to screw the
Locarno folk out of their residuals, they now get money every week for
'creating' Paris themselves. So they aren't just saving the production
money, which probably wasn't their prime concern anyway, they're
pocketing the money for somebody else's work.

Oh, no, it's Cody - we're not talking 'similar' or 'inspired by' - we're
talking 'they got a Cody replica outfit and gear from somebody and just
used it'

Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!
