Eli is the only decent character on Stargate Universe, yet for some reason the producers don’t want to see him happy (yet).
In this week’s episode Chloe (the Senator’s) daughter hooks up with the Lt Scott – instead of Eli. And after Eli showed her where the showers were…how grateful is she?
The episode looks like a typical – ok only x number of you will survive the rest are toast episode that we’ve seen a gazillion times in Stargate shows.
Unless something really great comes out of this episode, Stargate Universe at this early stage is already on the fast track to oblivion and early cancellation.
Stargate Universe Lt. Vanessa James and her all natural assets October 20, 2009

So far Stargate Universe has been a BUST literally.
The show has been mostly lame, but the ‘bust’ quotient was really high this week in the Darkness
episode.
The biggest culprit was one Lt. Vanessa James who was front and center with her…ahem..assets.
The actress that plays Lt. James – Julia Benson is now on the defense – and oh yes they’re all natural too.
I play 2nd Lt. Vanessa James and for all the talk about my natural (and believe me they are 100%) assets I promise you that there is much more to my character. Who knew that a tank top could cause such a stir.
Stargate Universe Episode 4 – Darkness – LAME!! October 17, 2009

Another slow episode – yeah Eli is still great and the whole shower thing was funny too.
The communication stones aspect is interesting and the tension with Col. Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips) is kinda neat.
But the episode was slow and it didn’t make sense
Why weren’t they looking for the ship’s power generator?
Why didn’t they have teams at the SGC helping them with schematics or SOMETHING to try and figure out how to gain control of the ship.
It just doesn’t make sense

Every Stargate series has an episode (or 10) like this one.
The ‘team’ needs something and finds it at the last possible second.
ok it’s not a new idea.
We learn a little more about the characters, but to be honest, we don’t really care about them (yet). They just don’t seem real.
Eli is the early big winner – he’s real and easily the best actor of the bunch – so far.
Stargate Universe SGU : Destiny is the 9th Chevron October 5, 2009

The pilot episode of Stargate Universe (Air 
Finding Eli by way of a Last Starfighter type contest is a wickedly cool idea and one that will make him very different then Dr. McKay as a problem solver.
But first off, why was the Icarus base attacked? That part didn’t make sense. The attackers never made any claims, we never say them on screen – we just saw their ships. It was cool to see the USS General Hammond though wasn’t it?
The idea of a ninth chevron transporting to a ship is really cool though. The Destiny is unlike any other ancient ship we’ve ever seen.
But the bit about it being unmanned and then there being other ships that had gone before it to build Gates was a bit weak. If the other ships have already built a gate system then why send a ship?
That little plot issue aside, the characters in SGU are great. They are unlike the typical SG-1 and SG-Atlantis archetypes and really do create a different vibe for this show.
With the one military guy that was imprisoned (what was his deal?) the quick death of the Senator (kinda like the Col dying in the pilot of Atlantis) and a lack of air on the ship – we already have a few mysteries that will keep this show interesting for a few weeks.
Yes there are some holes in this show and it’s not perfect. But it is pretty frakkin cool to have Stargate back in a fresh new and innovative show.

The Women of Stargate Universe talk with THE woman of SG-1 October 2, 2009

As opposed to SG-1, where Amanda Tapping aka Col Samantha Carter was the only female role, Stargate Universe has three big female roles in the show.
That makes SGU a bit different doesn’t it?
Tapping sat down for lunch with the SGU gals for an interesting conversation for the most part.
They talk about the roles, about their love (or not so much) of SciFi and the role that good music plays in making Science Fiction shows work.

Stargate Universe SGU starts tonight October 2, 2009

Finally!
Stargate is back!!
After we lost Stargate Atlantis the universe has been a dark place with no Jaffar, Wraith or other races to watch week in and week out.
Now Stargate Universe is finally on – tonight.
Will this just be the Stargate version of Star Trek Voyager? Early trailers make it look a whole lot darker, but the similarities with Voyager cannot be overlooked.
A ship stranded far from home with a commander determined to bring them back. Let’s hope the show producers keep it fresh, give us some of our regular Stargate goodness and a whole lot of new stuff.
We can hardly wait.

A new trailer for Stargate Universe is now out ..this one showing us the basics of the story that we haven’t seen before.
The Earthers are on Icarus base – sounds like a beta site idea – and they fall under attack – jump through an open gate and end up on an ancient ship 7 billion light years from Earth.
Sound like they ended up in the Delta Quadrant..
anyways a cool trailer to watch and we can hardly wait until the series is finally on – WE NEED OUR STARGATE FIX!!
Daniel Jackson set to appear in Stargate Universe July 6, 2009

Yeaah Stargate Universe is supposed to be its own Stargate series, but it looks like we’ll get a few cameos from regular old Stargate SG-1 t ypes too.
Michael Shanks the actor who plays Daniel Jackson apparently is already on board.
“I will say I got the script and there’s a good chance Daniel will be making a brief cameo along with some other people from the Stargate universe,” Shanks said in an interview with The Official Stargate SG-1/Atlantis Magazine. “That’s probably as much as I can say without getting my nuts chopped off. I’m literally in there for two seconds to provide some brief information. I’m not an integral part of it at all.”
Stargate Universe SGU- A sexier, darker Stargate June 8, 2009

It’s looking more and more like SGU – Stargate Universe will actually be more like a Stargate reboot than a continuation of the SG-1 and SG-Atlantis type of shows that we all know and love.
Don’t get me wrong though after 10 years of SG-1 and five of Atlantis change is a good thing.
With the G’ould defeated, the ORI toasted..all we’ve got left are the Wraith..and they can be beat.
So how will this show be darker/different? Apparently SGU doesn’t have all the answers — so no McKay or Carter – and the show is about survival.
The latest sneak peak trailer gives us a small taste…and it sure looks good to me.

Stargate Universe will hopefully follow in the Stargate tradition of awesome shows..
The latest trailer though looks a little lame …so let’s hope it’s just a blip
Stargate Universe Teaser Trailer – SFU – FU SyFy! March 23, 2009

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis led from one to other. We knew the character before the show began and it was a natural progression.
That’s not how Stargate Universe will be..since both SG-1 and Atlantis were heartlessly terminated by SyFy (what the frak is SyFy??).
Anyways the first trailer is up and it looks pretty good – the creative team on Stargate Universe is top-notch and even though SyFy will do everything they can to screw up the show, this team will make it work.
Stargate Universe adds Ming Na and Lou Diamond Phillips February 25, 2009

Looks like SciFi is rounding out the cast for the new Stargate Universe series set to debut later this year.
Phillips is Col. Telford, a proud lifelong military man, who puts his faith in the chain of command. Stubbornly confident, he’s highly regarded by his superiors. He is the chosen leader of the ill-fated expedition.
Ming-Na is Camile Wray, a human resources executive with the international oversight committee that governs the Stargate program. Now the highest-ranking member of that division left stranded on the ship, she carries herself with a misguided sense of superiority over the other military and civilian survivors.
The two new additions help to round out the cast that was announced last month for Stargate Universe.

Stargate Universe will begin filming in February – with a premiere set for the fall. SciFi has also announced who the cast will be for the show.
Justin Louis (Andromeda Strain, The Fighting Fitzgeralds) will portray Colonel Everett Young, an experienced Stargate team leader. Married, with years of tough decisions under his belt, life has taught him never to take anything for granted. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive.
David Blue (Ugly Betty) stars as Eli Wallace, a total slacker, who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he puts his mind to – mathematics, computers, video games. A lack of confidence has left him with an acerbic sense of humor.
Brian J. Smith (The War Boys, Hate Crime) is Lt. Matthew Scott, a junior member of the Stargate team. Green and rough around the edges, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he’s ready for the responsibility and must learn to command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities aboard the ship.
Jamil Walker Smith (Waynehead, Sister, Sister) will portray Sr. Sgt. Ronald Greer, a Marine with a temper you don’t want to mess with. His past is mysterious but it’s clear something dark formed the hard shell around him.

He’s done the Full Monty and now Robert Carlyle is set to play Dr. David Rush in the new Stargate Universe series.
It’s not clear is Carlyle will be a character in the vein of a Dr.Mckay or a col. Sheppard – though i’d suspect that he’ll be more like a Samantha Carter type – smart and not afraid to fight either.
Filming for the the Stargate Universe pilot starts in February 2009, with an eye to a summer 2009 premiere.

They take away with one hand and then give us something new in the other.
Barely a day after Sci Fi officially canceled Stargate Atlantis, they have now officially announced that Stargate Universe will kick off in January of 2009.
We’ll get a two hour movie early in the year with a weekly series set to start by the summer.
According to a press release put out by MGM:
After unlocking the mystery of the Stargate’s ninth chevron, a team of explorers travels to an unmanned starship called the Destiny, launched by The Ancients at the height of their civilization as a grand experiment set in motion, but never completed.
What starts as a simple reconnaissance turns into a never ending mission, as the Stargate Universe crew discovers the ship is unable to return to Earth, and they must now fend for themselves aboard the Destiny.
The crew will travel to the far reaches of the universe, connecting with each of the previously launched Stargates, thus fulfilling the Destiny’s original mission. Challenges will arise though as the ship comes into range of Stargates placed centuries ahead of the Destiny and the crew is unable to control the ship’s navigational schedule. If someone is left behind, there is no way to go back for them, adding to the drama of encountering new races, enemies and adventures.
