Let's hope. But Mallozzi's comments suggest it's pretty close to real.
This si the only One I think has any real potential and a chance of being 'different' to what we've already seen a dozen times. Tbh he kind of sounds like Colonel Summoner, which is a good thing - I was sorry they killed him off so soon.
Main problem here is this line:
Hello, Sam Carter. Amanda Tapping finally got too expensive/busy, so we've recast the exact same character in a younger model. Are we ever going to have a female character who isn't "beautiful, tough, smart, capable"? Seeign this young lady becoming the Mary Sue of the show.
Naturally. I really think sometimes the male writing cast think they're writing porn when they do their casting sheets, the way they describe their female characters.
So... what is she doing on this spaceship to god-knows-where?
This is horribly cliched, the worst of the bunch, imho. The friendless, dateless geek, whose humour is lost on the others. So we've got Carter and McKay re-cast then.
And now we have Lt. Ford again. The poitnless Lietenant with no real roel to fill worked so well on Atlantis we seem to have him again. Look for him to be killed off by the season 2 premiere.
And now we get Ronan. Again. With Teal'c's past.
Seriosuly, I was really ready to give Universe a chance, but come on people, what are you doing to us?! Out of your regular cast I can spot one character whose not a complete trainwreck right out of the gates/rewrite of an existing and tired character.
Please tell me the real characters are going to be much more sensible and less cliched than they seem on this list. I realise casting sheets never quite capture good characters, but I've found them unnervingly good at capturing bad ones. I remember reading the sheet for Enterprise.
