Well this is it folks, the 2 hour premier of Stargate Universe is upon us all. This premier is a three parter, but Air Part 1 and Air part 2 are airing tonight as a 2 hour premier. Air Part 3 will be next Friday.

Tonight, at 9/8c set your DVR, set your recorder, set your clocks, be prepared for 2 hours of new Stargate.

Air Part 1 - When a research team is forced to evacuate their secret base, they find themselves on board a derelict Ancient vessel that is many galaxies away from Earth.

GUEST STARRING - Lou Diamond Phillips (Telford), Christopher McDonald (Senator Alan Armstrong), Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill), Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson), Gary Jones (Walter Harriman), Julia Anderson (Vanessa James), Haig Sutherland (Sgt. Hunter Riley), Jennifer Spence (Lisa Park), Peter Kelamis (Adam Brody), Mark Burgess (Jeremy Franklin), Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (Pvt. Darren Becker), Josh Blacker (Marine Sgt. Spencer), Patrick Gilmore (Dale Volker)

Air Part 2 - Stranded on the Ancient vessel Destiny, the evacuees from Icarus Base discover that a worn-out life-support system and hull breaches will suffocate them in a matter of hours.

GUEST STARRING - Lou Diamond Phillips (Telford), Julia Anderson (Vanessa James), Haig Sutherland (Sgt. Hunter Riley), Jennifer Spence (Lisa Park), Peter Kelamis (Adam Brody), Mark Burgess (Jeremy Franklin), Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (Pvt. Darren Becker), Josh Blacker (Marine Sgt. Spencer), Patrick Gilmore (Dale Volker)

Please refrain from checking poll options until AFTER the premier. When all 3 parts have aired (in Next Friday’s Poll) I will have two more categories for you to vote in, one will be grade the premier in comparison to SG-1’s and SG-A’s premier, and the second will be to ask if you are going to continue watching the series after the 3 part premier. Remember, this is a 3 part premier, so DO NOT MISS NEXT WEEKS EPISODE AIR PART 3.

Nice banner. Can't wait. I actually had a dream last night that I was held up somewhere and wouldn't make it home in time for SGU.

I thought Amanda Tapping was guest-starring in the first part, too?

Wow, you are right, but her name wasn't credited, weird. BTW, I pulled that from Gateworld, so perhaps it is credited elsewhere. I will search.

/Edit - She is listed on IMDB for 2 episodes of SGU, Air Part 1 and Air Part 2

Harvey · October 2 2009, 09:18 PM

I wouldn't put much credence on IMDB when it comes to cast lists for television episodes that haven't aired yet. They're notoriously bad about that.

Perhaps she goes uncredited as a way of getting around the problems of having SG-1 characters that weren't in the original movie in the pilot episodes of spin-offs?

I had no idea this was starting tonight. Was there any promotion?

If you have watched the SyFy channel yes, lots. Don't know about outside of the SyFy channel.

Battlestar Galactica + Reality Show = SGU?

Buy or Sell

SGU couldn't possibly last longer than SGA?

Yeah, I haven't watched SyFy since BSG ended so I didn't see those commercials. I've certainly not seen any on other channels.

I haven't been this psyched for Stargate in some time. I'm really looking forward to this.

The site is horribly bad for any cast listings. i have looked up shows in the past and the main characters were listed for 68 episodes even through the show went on for many more than that. I can't even remember the show... this is going to bother me.

I completely forgot this was on tonight. I'm glad I stopped by here today. Thanks for the reminder.

Love the poll but got to admit while I look forward to watching the show, I am not really experience the same anticipation as I did before SG-A season 1 began.

I'm actually quite pumped for it now, I wasn't before, but I watched every single promo video on syfy.com and I'm enthusiastic for it. I do notice though, it seems there isn't as much "buzz" here on the forums like there was for the SGA Premier.
