Stargate Universe
 

The Previously unknown purpose of the "Ninth Cheveron" is revealed, and ends up taking a team to an Ancient ship "Destiny", a ship built millions of years ago by the Ancients, used to seed Distant galaxies with Stargates. This team, led by Dr. David Rush and Colonel Everet Young, are trapped on the ship, unable to change its programmed mission, and encounter new races, new technology and new enemies, as the runaway ship takes them to the far ends of the Universe.


Premieres October 2nd.

Richard Dean Anderson got fat. Robert Carlyle looks really frail and thin. It's supposed to be darker and different than the usual Stargate shows and kind of has a BSG feel to it from watching the trailer. I hope it's good though because it would feel weird without having SG around. I'm still going through withdrawal from Hercules and Xena being gone.

RDA has chunked out since we last saw him.

Hopefully this series will deliver the goods.

Looks interesting, is this a reboot? Or same universe or whats the go?

Kind of strange to see so much talk of them not knowing where the SG is going to take them.

Its not a reboot. But it is supposed to separate from SG1 and Atlantis.

Didn't O'Neil once use the ninth Chevron to go to the Asgard home-world when he had all that knowledge of the ancients in his head?

Na. That was the 8th chevron.

Ok I couldn't remember exactly.

I've seen the trailer before, but I hadn't even realised that was Richard Dean Anderson. :(

Kind of looking forward to it. I was never big on Atlantis so hopefully this'll be a bit better.

I'd love to see RDA guest on NCIS, portraying a Jack O'Neill-esque character. Would love to see the interaction between him and Gibbs.

I found that Atlantis came off as lacking by the time it finished. So hopefully the Stargate producers will step it up for this series.

The next few months are looking good, with SG-Universe and Caprica appearing.

Is it me or do The Go'uld seem to be back. Saw some Pyramid ships and the like, unless the Jaffas have turned against Earth. [/sad sci-fi geek]

I didn't see a pyramid ship. I did see an open golden triangle but that looks to be a small part of the ship maybe underneath the ship that they are on.

Yeah this isn't really part of SG-1 or Atlantis. More or less a new show set in the same universe. Heard Lou Diamond Phillips will be in it so....

Saw the premiere. Just introduced a lot of the characters and premise and just took a step forward into the storyline but that's pretty much it. Don't really know what to make of it so far.

I've never really watched any of the Stargate's, so if I watch this will it make sense?

From what I've read there's seemingly little bits in it designed to "clue up" people who're not familiar with the previous series. So it might make some sense - not seen it myself yet though.

If they reference a lot of stuff from past Stargate missions then yeah you probably need to watch those to get what they are talking about but since this show is supposed to be different and I'm assuming you've already seen the original Stargate movie to know what the hell a Stargate is then I think you can just jump right in.

Saw a little bit of it on Hulu the other night. Was no impressed at all.

Have to take a pass on this.

Still pissed they canceled Atlantis for this.

Hmm, based on the first two episodes, seems fairly good so far. I'll give it a few more weeks before I make my mind up for definite though.

Yeah I've seen the movie so i know what it's all about - I'll give it a shot and see.

Can someone tell me what happened at the end of the second episode.

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Spoiler this shit, muthafungla!

Finally watched the pilot, looks like it might be decent, gonna give it a couple episodes.

I finally watched the pilot on youtube. It seems okay. I'm on the fence at the moment, and will need to see more. I do think they have some potentially more interesting characters than the previous series', especially the Dr. Rush character.

They also need to get some decent music.

This has a Battlestar feel to it...

I have enjoyed what's been done so far.

O/T: I'm still waiting for NCIS:LA to get good.

Watched the third episode and it's kind of slow to me. Different than the other Stargates but I hope there's some cool characters equivalent to Shepard and Ronon.

Completely forgot this came on last night.

So I watched episodes 3 and 4 on youtube, and I think i'm starting to get into it now. They still need some decent music, but overall, things seem to be improving.

Yeah, they definitely are getting better. Now they just need to fix the pacing issues...

It feels like they really really really want to be Battlestar Galactica with their tone, camera style and set design.

Also, it's pretty much the exact premise used for Star Trek Voyager.

Thought the music at the end of episode 3 was pretty good. The part where they had to make it into the stargate and back into the ship before it closed and left.

Episode 4 had the girl in the shower plus the top heavy soldier girl in her underwear. :$

Elyse Levesque, the chick in the shower, is hot.

Good lord. Epi 4 was my favourite just for that airforce chick with the ridic-sized breasts, and the cute senator's daughter. They should have obviously given us at least some side-boobage when she was in the "shower."

Anyways. Robert Carlysle is owning the show right now (especially in episode 4). The other actors (and the writers) need to up their game in order to match him.

The music has its moments, but overall, the composer is no Bear McCreary.

I was like damn they had a lot of good looking women in past Stargates but never really did this kind of stuff with them plus I don't think any of the extras or guest stars in the past had porn star bodies.

I agree Dr. Rush is pretty good. I don't really like anybody else except the women and Eli. I hope they go on more adventures in the future and possibly pick up a few more people or at least one really cool person that gets stuck with them or decides to travel with them.

I think it is just a case that they haven't had the chance yet to develop the other characters. But it is something they need to rectify quickly in order to make the show more interesting to watch.

I like how they brought back Ona Grauer and Anna Galvin. Ona played the ancient woman frozen in Antarctica on SG-1 and is now the ex-wife of that military guy. Anna played the dream woman of Woolsey on SG Atlantis and is now the Senator's wife.

I did a little research and the soldier girl is Julia Anderson. I also happened to find this:

Just wait til it turns out that the good doctor is a windigu and his entire plan is to eat them all.

Those boobs are ridiculous.

So just watched episode 5. The outcome was obvious, but blah. Is it me or has this relationship between the Lt. and the senator's daughter seem to have sprung out of nowhere? Seemed rather random to me, seen as the Lt. had been banging the chick with the ridiculous boobs.
