Spoilers For Stargate Universe's Pilot

I'd rather have a great SG:U that lasts 2 seasons than a mediocre/crappy SG:U that lasts 5 seasons.

I'd take a 4 or 5 show if only decent because it would stand a better chance of a resolution, I hate shows that get canned with no ending after years of watching.

This is Stargate, if the show get's canceled they will just end the show ina form of a movie.
 
So it's basically a rehash of Lost in Space? With Dr. Rush being a terribly unoriginal merging of Dr. Smith and Centauri from The Last Starfighter?

Oy.

I imagine the Big Bad Villians are probably going to be called the Revenants or the Zombies or something. We already have the Ghouls and the Wraith, so it's logical I guess. Stupid, but logical.
 
That's what I figure. Pretty much like the freezing gate travel at the start of SG-1.

Which was easily explained away and would have been an annoying and pointless aspect to keep filming.

I like what I have read so far, I will definitely give it a shot.

Yeah though I wish they would explain how Culak went from horrible conditions at night in Children of the Gods to not having horrible conditions at night.
 
It's Space 1999, I tell you!

Glad I'm not the only one who had that thought:)

I'm still waiting for the Stargate where they find a crashed super advanced Ancient Warship created by a group of Ancients who are highly militaristic to the point they a race of giant supersoldiers to fight wasfor them until the giants wiped this group of Ancients and are fighting the humans who used fighter plains that turn into giant robots.

I dunno...

...why not have a series where some guy latches on to an idea about a certain aspect of hitherto-unknown Ancient technology, has a team scoot off to Jupiter to build five engines based on these ideas, have everyone involved in the project die at the hands of the project leader (who would then kill himself) then spend the next century or so preparing to use giant mechs powered by these engines to try to usher in a new era of global interventionism?

Of course, there'd be the possibility of a rogue group who were part of this overall plan 'borrowing' some of these ideas to build knock-off imitation engines closer to home, but it's not like anyone would have to worry about that, right?

Yeah but if they use what I'm proposing they might be able to get some of the NuBSG fans who are interested in this stuff.
 
Ten American bucks if Carlyle leaves within two seasons for either him wanting to leave or the writers writing him off.
Carlyle is likely not to be the lead after all. I think he's going to be the Hammond/Weir authority figure and that young guy they just cast is our new Shep.

And since Carlyle won't be the reason for people to keep tuning in, yeah, they could end up Weir-ing him right off the show when the ratings tank because the writing is tired and/or Carlyle realizes he's on a show that's way beneath him.

If they want BSG fans, they need to get BSG writers on this show. Wow, would that frakkin' well change things!

And they'll have to be more careful about the casting than they usually are, too. Us frakheads aren't watching the show just for conspiracies or killer robots. It's the quality of acting and writing, above all else.
I imagine the Big Bad Villians are probably going to be called the Revenants or the Zombies or something.
You are 99.999% likely to be completely correct. :D

How bout Zomboids. That's a good name. Zomboids.

Possibly. I'm willing to find out and pay up if I lose.

"How about the Mongooses? That's a good name. The Flying Mongooses!"

And you're saying that nuBSG fans who like Macross don't necessarily like Gundam, too?

Well I didn't know you were talking about a Gundum show for sure. So your right they should do what your idea was.


Well, just bear in mind that if you try Gundam 00, and don't want to be spoiled, just forget anything I wrote up there...
 
I really hope that they learn to write good TV. If they are just carrying over the crap-ass writers from "At-lost-me-there" then its gonna blow. They need to learn how to make the show exciting and interesting from week to week without having to resort to too many bottle episodes cause they blew all their money on some lame special effects. What they really need to do it hire a completely new team of writers. If you had ANYthing to do with SG-A your not wanted...
