Stargate Universe (Season 1)

[Antaris Veteran]

I've been re-watching Atlantis over the last few weeks and have been enjoying it immensely. When it first came out a bit too far afield from the original storyline of the movie, but I've kinda come around to it now. I think the finale was definately rushed, but thats what happens when a series gets cut short.

I'm hoping Universe doesn't end up like Star Trek: Voyager, it got long and boring very quickly.

Meh ... that's not what Stargate is about though.

I will give it ago, i mean i loved the Stargate SG-1. Atlantis i never got into at all. So hopelly this will be better.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I'm definitely looking forward to it. I loved StarGate SG-1 and StarGate Atlantis. Both series offered unique storylines and characters that made the show very interesting. I'm sure StarGate Universe will do the same.

I love SG-1, but not so much the later seasons. I've not watched any Atlantis.

Question: Should I watch Atlantis, or should I save my time and skip it, just start watching Universe when it airs?

Now that Eureka is back to deliver my weekly feel good sci-fi fix, I'm eagerly anticipating the death and darkness promised by the producers of the upcoming Stargate Universe. The wait will be over October 2 when the series premieres with a two-hour episode on Syfy.

Tentatively titled "Air," the premiere will follow a research team that gets cut off from Earth after boarding an Ancient ship with failing life support and a steampunk Stargate. The premiere will feature appearances by franchise vets Richard Dean Anderson and Michal Shanks and will, of course, introduce us to the new crew, including Robert Carlyle, David Blue and Lou Diamond Phillips. (Does anyone else out there have the feeling that LDP is gonna bite it, Robert Patrick style, in the premiere?)

Syfy also announced fall premiere dates for returning shows, including Sanctuary and Destination Truth. Check out the schedule:

Destination Truth ? Season 3 Premieres September 9, @ 9 PM

Sanctuary ? Season 2 Premieres Friday, October 9 @ 10 PM

Scare Tactics ? Season 3 Episodes Return Tuesday, October 6 @ 9 PM

Ghost Hunters ? All-New Episodes Throughout the Fall ? Wednesdays @ 9 PM

Warehouse 13 ? All-New Episodes Throughout September - Tuesdays @ 9 PM [TV Squad]

Atlantis is a must watch.

Stargate Universe New Trailer

[McCordRm]

This sounds like Sliders with a spaceship. Or Quantum Leap. Take your pick.

All of this has happened before...

All I can see is voyager mixes with bsg...

[Raa]

Yeah, still don't feel enthusiastic about it... I'll withhold judgement until the first ep though.

Where's the 3rd SG-1 and 1st Atlantis movies??? :(

[mail]

Man that trailer was so overly dramatic ... that's just not what Stargate is about ... I sense failure.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

Remember, that often a trailer is cut by a very different team than the actual show. With different agendas.

Yeah when LDP said "the ship is falling apart" I thought of BSG

All of everything has happened before. There are only so many possible premises for a show or novel, and I'm pretty sure every single one of them has been done in Scifi and fantasy.

So long as its presented well enough and the individual stories are good, I'm hopeful.

[Rappy Veteran]

Awesome :woot:

*officially hyped*

[Pretend]

I think it look's great! :D Who cares if it's all been done before, as long as it's good, what else matters?

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah I mean space has been over done but its all good :D

[Richard Hammond]

All im happy about is that they are actually trying something different in the Stargate universe (pun not intended), instead of being another SG-1 clone set in a different place like Atlantis essentially was.

[Rappy Veteran]

Quick with the sig Richard :p

[Pretend]

Very quick :D I would say faster than Rappy! :shiftyninja:

[Richard Hammond]

Quick with the sig Richard :p
