How lost would I be if I have never seen any other Stargate film/tv show and started watching this?

After the first episode, you could have watched nothing and still pretty much been on par with anyone who's watched it all. They don't make many or any references to the previous shows aside from cameos on the first episode. That said, you should watch them anyways since they're very enjoyable.

Yea this show isn't like the others so you don't really need any background knowledge. A quick catchup, Stargate = Portals to other planets/galaxies/ships, whatever. In the older shows it was used regularly. However in his show its used very rarely. Its more or less a Space Drama in the Stargate Universe. With any luck they will spice it up with some action but after watching TSCC (Terminator) and Dollhouse, I've learned to accept the Sci-Fi Drama ;)

I remember SG-1 perhaps, I watched part of one episode a few years ago. All they did was go between Stargates for like 20 minutes. I turned it off.

How is Robert Carlyle in this? :D I love that guy.

he is awesome :D

Stargate writer and consulting producer for SGU Joseph Mallozzi took to his blog asking the Gaters for input while he's scribbling away on the new season. Here's your chance to tell them to throw the stones out the airlock.

Mallozzi's blog asked his readers 5 questions about the NEW SGU series. Remember we still haven't seen the second half of season one. But that shouldn't stop you from voicing your opinion about the crew aboard the Destiny.

So, as we prep for the show's second season ? and keeping in mind you haven't seen the more action-oriented back half of season one ? I'd like to know:

1. Which character would you like to see explored more?

2. What aspect of the show would you like to see exploited more?

3. What aspect of the show would prefer to see minimized?

4. What was your favorite "story moment" from the first half of SGU's first season?

5. What element (I'm leaving this one wide open) would you like to see added to the series as a whole?

Is SGU coming back earlier on Sky 1 or will they be sticking with the SyFy on this one?

The first 10 episodes were awesome. Why do you think it was such a ratings success? Any dissent is coming from a very vocal minority.

I think tbh they are sticking with syfy, I really dont think they would air before their native country this time.

Yea to those who like drama only and crappy soap moments.

Stargate was awesome

SG-1 was awesome

Atlantis was awesome

Universe is okish but certainly not awesome. It's only a ratings success because they made it in the style of BSG so that when that ended the fans migrated from that show to Universe.

SG-U is rather good, However just as the writers have stated, It will get much better once they introduce the alien races and friendships. They are currently just trying to do introductions with characters themes, and attitudes that they have not had much time to throw in much story like they have done in the past with SG-1 and Atlantis.

I hope your right, I really do. I want to love this show.

I am a big BSG fan, have the full DVD collection, the full Blu-ray Collection...some figures and all that. Universe is nothing like BSG. I think Universe is on par with the other Stargate shows, which is my number 2 shows. Yes there needs to be some work done, and get some more story's going, but it's still awesome.

You guys gotta remember that they had already finished filming every episode of the 1st season before they even aired a single episode. So the writers and producers couldn't take fan comments and backlash into consideration for the 1st season really at all. The 2nd season should be much better imo since they already know what people don't want to see anymore on a Stargate show (sex scenes) and what they want to see more of (aliens etc) and all that good stuff.

Plus, the back half of the 1st season is supposedly much better anyways, and has more action etc :)

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Kind of glad I upgraded to S26 Ultra 1TB this year, with trade-in and discounts it cost me €1199, that's only €119 more than the S23 Ultra (256 GB) cost me. Last time I bought it via my phone provider outright with committing to two years, now via Samsung.com I reckon the S27 series will be more expensive too.
