Stargate Universe

[Serio]

No, not a thread on the whole universe, but rather a thread on the upcoming series.

Article: GateWorld Stargate Universe U.K. premiere is October 6
Wikia Entry: Stargate Universe - Stargate Wiki - Universe, Atlantis, SG-1 (Possibly spoilerific)

Thoughts? Personally, my opinion is rather blank.
Judging from the trailers, it'll be darker than Atlantis, but more centered on the team than SG-1. I'm actually glad they're continuing with the series format, instead of sticking to the movie road.
It's airing on October 2nd in the US, and on October 6th in the UK. The rest of Europe probably wont see a trace of it until sometime next year.

i've never been interested in stargate in general until now. however, it looks like this series is going to be dark which interests me. i may take a look at this series to see if its good.

it also looks like stargate is taking the star trek voyager approach with this series. hopefully they make this one darker then voyager was. i always felt voyager was lacking something.

[Cheese!]

It looks almost like a cross between Battlestar Galactica and SG1/SGA. Should be interesting to see how it plays out on TV.

I would have personally liked them to conclude Atlantis with another five seasons (bringing the season count to ten like they did with SG-1) before they went on with SGU. SGA still has a lot to cover, with the Asgard, Wraith, Geni, and all those other races that 'Replicator Wier' mentioned she had seen. We've heard nothing of them, almost makes you wonder, doesn't it?

SGU should be good (it is Stargate), and I like that they're going dark about it. I just hope they don't screw it up at all. For this show to work, they really need to have no gate connection with Earth. The minute that becomes a reality, everything will pretty much be over, as they'll be able to return home.

I'm also curious as to this ship... Its been going for a fair while, it hasn't degraded, and no alien species has tried to blow it apart yet? I doubt very much that it is invincible. In regards to the show, for the moment, I keep an open mind.

I have seen just about every Stargate episode ever made... I cant wait for SGU. I do have to say that the CG has got to be better than SGA season 5. It was starting to look like an old video game. I also think that SGA was getting a bit cheesy and predictable. I agree that they had alot that they could have developed on but what they did do would have been much better.

The final of SGA was complete shite in my opinion. It was rushed to hell, and was poorly directed. An uber Hive that was destroyed when Atlantis (or rather McKay) conveniently worked out how to use wormhole technology. Yeah...

Be honest, the longer a series runs, the more repetitive it becomes...
SG-1 season 1+2 are still the best. I mean how often did we see parallel universes, time travel and body-switching up until now?

[Aerilon]

To be honest, SG-1 started to go downhill when they brought Ascension and Anubis back into it. The Goa'uld were the perfect enemy, and they killed them off too soon, and then came the Ori. Sorry, but what a pathetic excuse for an enemy they were. They could have easily stuck with the Goa'uld as the main enemy for a solid ten seasons, and then ended it with the Death of Ba'al (Continuum).

In addition, they could have covered other Goa'uld that were mentioned, but not seen throughout the show.

[Serio]

Most of the Goa'uld felt the same (Apophis, Heru'ur, etc) but it would have been nice if they had continued with Ba'al. The least they could have had was more Tok'ra - Goa'uld conflicts(like the one in Summit).
I do agree that Seasons 9 and 10 weren't nearly as good as some of the previous seasons, but it did have some rather good episodes such as Collateral Damage, Ripple Effect, and Unending.

I like SG-1 ALOT more than Atlanits. The Characters in Atlantis were just different versions, which made that original at all. And Teal'c is my GOD! I liked Ba'al as an enemy, he was just so happy, and nice in an evil way. Continium was great because of that.
