New sgu trailler.

The more and more we see of this show, the more convinced I am there is nothing compelling about it. I don't need another Voyager. I don't see how the Stargate team is going to make this premise interesting when they ran SG-1 into the ground and and gave up on Atlantis because they had no idea what to do with the situation.

What looks promising or good?

I'm think I'm going to give the show a shot or two, but from what I've seen... It doesn't look like Universe is going to be worth my time.
 
I don't know--this trailer isn't very compelling. But that's mostly due to the strange music choice. I'll chalk it up to another SyFy Channel marketing frak up and wait for the premiere.
 
What looks promising or good?

Trailers tell us nothing. Anything can be made to look good in a trailer.

Is this going to be the same crew of producers and writers? How much new blood will be involved, who are they, and how much influence might they have? I've only heard about one guy, and he's just a "consultant" or something.

The only hope for this series is some new people with new ideas and the guts to really pursue them. Ideally, there needs to be a new person in charge who can take over and make the radical changes that are needed. Like Bryan Fuller with Heroes.
 
And I hope they change the music. Stargate has always had suck cheesy music and that just kills it for me. Never cared for the Jack O'Neill cheese of the franchise.
 
It's a good thing they're not trying to copy Battlestar Galactica's look and feel in that trailer. Yessir. Not trying at all.
 
What promise is on show in the trailer exactly?

The writer's having finally rehashed their own storylines enough times, are now forced to rip off from other series.

Ooooh, dark corridors, moody shots of angst-filled people in pain or struggling.

Compelling. not.

Ernest Dickerson (The Wire) is directing at least one episode.
 
My problem with this series is that I know it won't end. They'll just keep making movies afterwards and we'll get no resolution. That really ticks me off and it does make me judge the show more harshly.

As for the trailer- nothing special.
 
The music and all makes me think of that "Young SG-1" Parody the episode "200" did. I just get that kinda vibe from these trailers so far, its like a teen angsty emo kinda feel or something, I dunno, hard to explain.

Anyone who has directed The Wire is extremely capable. That has me excited. Still wondering about the writers, though, since the credits for the first ten episodes don't show much new blood.

Definitely agree - if there's something the Stargate franchise lacks, it's an inability to let things end. Characters are never dead or finished with, formally excellent guest stars outstay their welcome, and series never end. They need to learn how to finish something and then let it go.

The music is definately teen show esque.
