SG: Universe Story ideas

[Tzenkethi]

In the medical bay, a orderly walks in shoots the place up and blows the facility to kingdom come. The team study the bodies and are then alerted to a craft in a landing bay, they learn the ship has been infiltrated by the aliens from SG1 Foothold and any one of them could be imposters.
They then learn this ship is the platform the aliens used to get to the Milky Way but how remains with them...

Furlings. I guarantee it, they've held out too long on this source of 'mysterious powerful aliens', and they've got rid of the Asgard and even they must realise they've done the Ancients to death. So I see an appearence by either the Furlings or the Crystal Skull aliens.


As for what I'd genuinely like to see, I'd like it if they ran into a society not dissimilar technologically to ours, who themselves were just taking the first steps into space. Cue political interest between us & them that isn't dominated by technology (I'm sick to death of technology and power supply being the driving force of the story on Stargate shows). They key to a show like this I think will be character drama - as Temis says, this could be Voyager done well, the effects of long term claustrophobia and just plain getting sick of each other driving the drama.

I'm actually finding it quite hard to think up ways this show and premise could be used in ways that are actually unique and interesting. That worries me slightly. The 'ship' premise was the one I was hoping Universe wouldn't be, and for exactly this reason - limited possibility for originality. We have a ship (been done) made by advanced aliens (been done) who have become non-corporeal (been done), in uncharted space (been done) which can't go back to earth (been done). Adn I'll be very interested to see if we get another O'Neill clone as the lead.

There's no way the current writers in charge would do the Furlings, though. 200 (and the few other times they've been referenced since they were introduced in season one) made it clear that they view the name and the concept with utter contempt, and will only ever approach it with a comedic bent.

I've never seen any proof that the writers have ever treated the Furlings with comtempt, they've only been mentioned three times on SG1, once in The Fifth Race in the second season, Paradise Lost and 200.

They were introduced in season 2 as powerful uber-beings, and we see what is believed to be Furling technology in Paradise Lost, one of SG-1s darkest episodes. Granted, the joke in 200, but that's more playing with the fan expectations than anything else. We can hardly base much on what is said or seen in 200. I think if they were searching for another all-powerful-mysterious-alien, Furlings would be high on the list.

I'm talking about O'neill speculating that they are furry in "Paradise Lost," or them being equated with Ewoks in "Citizen Joe," and (finally) them being depicted as furry low-budget Ewoks in "200." The writers have found a way to ridicule the name and concept at every instance where it's been brought up since "The Fifth Race," which is the point I was making.

I'm not saying you couldn't do a serious story-line with them, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't, but I'm saying that the current writers won't.

While seeding a planet with a stargate our team picks up a blip. They move in closer to take a look and find out that the ship looks surprisingly like the Destiny

Later on the crew finds out that this was the prototype Destiny. When this ship(the hope) didn't respond back to the ancients thought it was destroyed. So plans were in place for the Destiny

The story can either have energy aliens that killed the crew or a HAl 9000 prototype AI that went berserk and kills SG:U personnel

Second story

Time travel episode with Future alt destiny that never finds home and turns it into a colony with kids

Whether you want it or not, there will be renaissance fair villages and pine forest planets. The Stargate show is just not the same without them ... The rest will probably be standard SG1 and Atlantis stories adapted for the current situation. And the show will probably survive less than Atlantis.

They could very easily do something with the Furlings. "Furlings" could just be another name for them, it doesn't have to be the name that they use to refer to themselves. All it would take is a little creativity. So you're right, the writers won't use them.
