SGU is literally LOST in the Stargate world

So I'm watching LOST for the first time and the blatant rip off the flashback story telling technique in SGU is uncanny. I used to think SGU was just a cheap Battlestar Galactica clone, but as I make my way through the 1st season of LOST it couldn't be clearer that SGU just reskinned LOST and did it 10x worse. LOST also started in 2004 whereas SGU premiered in 2009 while LOST was still running and was one of the highest rated shows on TV, so the writers of SGU can't say that they'd somehow missed it.

Getting back on topic, while the flashbacks work really well for LOST's story telling style and do serve to move the plot, in SGU it does the exact opposite. It takes the viewer out of the current story in a jarring way and doe nothing to advance the plot, at some points seemingly pulling it backwards or being tangential.

Now watching LOST, it only makes me hate SGU more lol.
