SGU is Lost in Space!

Tom · October 4 2009, 06:41 PM

Just thinking about it from a character sense:

Rush = Dr. Smith

Col. Young = Jon

IOA Woman = June

LT. Scott = Don

Elli = Will

Medic Girl = Judy

Chloe = Penny

Kino = The Robot

Damaged Destiny = Damaged Jupiter II

Think about it..

Hartzilla2007 · October 4 2009, 07:00 PM

Does the Kino go "Danger, Danger Eilli Wallace!"?

Basill · October 4 2009, 07:10 PM

Heh. He'll probably program it too before you know it.

Admiral2 · October 4 2009, 07:10 PM

Not yet, but the series is young yet.

^If sentient veggies start attacking the crew of the Destiny, then SGU will have crossed into LiS territory.

I did wonder about Stargate: Voyager.

Maybe the ships A/I is the robot.

Perhaps chloe should be Judy since here and Lt. Scott will probably hook up it seems.

Will they? I think she was liking Eli. We may have another Lee/Kara/whatshisname or Jack/Kate/Sawyer thing going.

Well it woudl not be BSG..er SGU if people are not hooking up LOL

I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching the 3rd episode, the scene when Rush was smacked..Rush is Dr. Smith and this is Lost in Stargate. WOW, can't anyone have an original idea anymore?

Mark_Nguyen · October 15 2009, 12:03 AM

No, and we all know that. The challenge to writers these days is to use the same SF/F ideas that have been repeated since the radio serials of the 1930s and written fiction before that, and get away without the repeats being noticed.

Moreover, calling someone a ripoff of a character from a 40+ year old TV series that NO ONE knows and few people, even around here, have ever seen, isn't prosecutable IMO. We care about Dr. Rush now. Dr. Smith is two generations in the past. I've never seen a full episode of Lost in Space, and I highly doubt that many people here have. And if we haven't, barely anyone in the casual audience will have either.

And no, the 1998 movie doesn't count. The 1998 movie NEVER counts.

Have you never heard of the novel the Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss?

Lost in Space was a futuristic adaptation of that classic 19th century novel about an intrepid family being shipwrecked on a strange island.

UMM.. tons of people here have seen Lost in space, not everyone here is college aged, you know

. I'm 38 but saw repeats of LiS in the 70's and 80's and it was on the scifi channel for a period in the 90's. Very dated and campy these days but the basic concepts and characters are still there.
