The New Stargate Universe Thread

apparently Space (the next episode back on) is superb and throws you right back in the thick of it.

Those Aliens coming through the gate look really freaky but awesome.

probably posted this earlier in the thread but Joseph Mallozzi has some interesting blog posts concerns the show from time to time :).

Question to the wise here, I've had SGU set on my Sky+ again but its all just a re-do of the episodes I've seen? I know this is probably answered by reading through this thread but I cant be buggered reading 11 pages :p
 
I really enjoyed the first half of the season but the trailer for the second part looks fantastic :D

They've just started production on season two this week. Robert Carlyle is directing an episode 4 of Season 2.
 
Ive just watched the 1st half of this new series and im a stargate fan, really did dig the new touches and new style... nice too see the Hammond earth ship and Captain Carter and Jack back but wheres Tealc :)

One thing I do have too say is SGU reminds me so much of BSG ! Its like they copied it, made it dark/gritty u dont know who everyone is or if there evil even ! Even theres a fair bit of humping and grinding going on and its certainly not a peck on the cheek its realisticly done lol

Either way maybe it is the recession/budget cost thats why there focusing on charactors/story and less CGI/Action, but if I remember correctly Amanda tapping on an interview once said they sacrifice there pay a lot so they can afford fancy CGI and it really pays off when watching it.

Either way the shows back in April... Look forward to it!

There isn't really any stand out reason for them to include Teal'c in the series really, even as a cameo its a bit out of place. O'Neill is in charge of Homeworld Security after Hammond died, Carters the commander of the Hammond and is the super scientist and Jackson is the expert on the ancients so they all have reasons to be in there. I could also see Mckay appearing sometime in the future.

Ive got to say ive really not got a BSG vibe from it, they share a few similarities but sgu is far from a carbon copy imo

The season will for the most part be planned out beforehand budget wise, as you say often the large chunk of the budget will go on CGI filled episodes (the next episode to air in april being an example) Its not really the recession more a fact of thats characters are one of the main themes to the show and they have to manage the limited budget across 20 odd episodes

Either way the shows back in April... Look forward to it!

Now that is strange.

The reason the break is so long between the 1st and 2nd half of season 1 is because syfy want/wanted to air all new content throughout the year (Caprica for instance), so they put back the latter half of sgu until april.

It is a pain in the arse though :).

But the good thing is the break between season 1 and 2 is that much shorter because of it :).

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I think its good that they're bringing the lucien alliance back into it :) and from the sounds of thing quite a few will end up on the Destiny in season 2 which should be pretty good to watch. Although it's an incredibly big ship, i'd be interested to see how it plays out whether its more like BSG with an uneasy truce being declared with whoever is left or more like the maquis/starfleet from star trek voyager and they end up working together, i'd bet on the former though.
