So, they recruit a bunch of civilians to examine some offworld site, With a Gate to they dont know where, and their facility comes under attack so they decide to save as many as they can by jumping through the gate, and they cant go back because the gate is buried...and now they are on a very old ship on the far side of the Universe (as opposed to Galaxy) with failing life support.
I can instantly see how this ends.
No i dont mean badly. I mean with a massive black hole hyperspatial engine constructed in earth orbit, fueled with exotic matter from seven black holes from seven galaxies to replicate the original gate experiment that put the ship out there in the darkness beyond the light.
Doesn't look as bad as I originally thought, but it does have the "teen" influence I was worried about. My biggest beef will be if they kill off the authority figures early, like they did with Atlantis.
I was hoping they would kill off all the military guys so that all that was left was the Psychotic Doctor and a bunch of Civilians not all that keen on taking orders.
My concern is that they have gone Startrek on us.
THink about it.
Next Generation Flagship = SG1,
Deep Space Nine = Stargate Atlantis,
USS Voyager on the far side of the Universe = Stargate Universe.
What is the trend. After Voyager - Enterprise = a Prequel series where NAZIs have control over the original Stargate and establish an alternate reality on Abbydos.

Actually, that sounds pretty cool.
Perhaps I should be more clear, Robert Carlyle should be the focus. His character actually seems interesting. I don't want him to end up like Robert Patrick and killed off in the first episode.

I have this feeling...Robert Carlyle may have 'betrayed them all' and arranged the attack on the offworld stargate site so as to force the hand of his leaders.
Now that would be a far more interesting series.
The ship itself seems to be so far into hyperspace that it is on the edge of the expanding (or contracting-explaining the bow wake) Universe.
I love the beginning scene with Gen. O'Neil and Eli. To bad Jack won't have a bigger presence on the show, He was always my favorite character.And the show can't be Voyager if Robert Picardo doesn't appear. Also I wonder who attacked them, it did not look like Gou'ald or Jaffa attack craft from what I saw.
Apparently the pilot for this series was aired on Friday, over here in the UK however...I did stress over here in the UK didn't I?
Sorry just to make that clear its being shown this Wednesday at 9pm on I believe Sky One, please correct me here I don't want anyone missing this as from what I've seen this is very interesting!
By the way do I need spoilers at this point?

I can see one reason why this won't be Voyager. In ST: Voyager the crew was a well trained crew of explorers who was well prepared for the rigors of life in deep space. They had the skills needed to survive, and they knew everything about the ship they were on. Also, after Caretaker there was a clear chain of command which most everyone followed, even if they didn't like it. However with SGU, we have already seen the group begin to develop factions and the chances are, with as many egos as we have in play on the ship, it will likely only continue. The only force that is likely to remain stable is the military, and even that is not garunteed at this point.
Lol; ok; I just watched it last night and the only thing interesting about this show is that this Ancients ship their on...is EXACTLY like a warhammer gothic fleet battles Necron Tombship; right down to the pyramid and the cresent shaped wings; I put it on pause; got out my miniature of the tombship; and it is nearly perfect match.
Other than that; seems a bit cattlecar galactica to me; the soldiers are bunk, very poor; what can you expect from the Air Force I guess; guess having been a real soldier and watching them is to much for my suspension of disbelief to work. The ranks and experience of these guys is pathedic; poorly written; no real military force would work that way; sci fi channel should have hired some professional advisors.
Aren't these guy by their very involvement in the stargate project and being on another world supposed to be the best there is at what they do? that was my impression; that medic sucks; real military medics rock; I trust them to the core, more than most doctors; no questions asked; this chick is a nightmare.

I think that most of the good upper rank military personel were outside maning the guns closer to the front line and were beamed up to the Hammond, the ones that went throught the stargate were on thier first mission babysitting Eli and the senator, or cooks.

That's kind of the feeling I got. In fact, Sam makes a comment about how the majority of the personel at Iccarus Base did not go through the gate.

They've worked with the Air Force since SG-1 started. Just wonder with the launch of a new series they didn't squeeze it in with all the other logistics for the pilot.
Watched the premiere on Syfy and I thought it sucked. It was slow, I couldn't get into any of the characters, and it's basically a rip off of Voyager, but set in the Stargate universe. Was lame.
Voyager was a rip off of Lost in Space which was a rip off of the Odyssey.
Yes the background situation has been done before but focus on the emerging story and future character development before you condemn it as a knock off.One episode is not enough to call it crap, if it was then the first episode of ST:NG would have doomed the franchise.

hey I actually liked Lost in space and as for the movie remake, well I did like the single and who other than Gary Oldman could play Dr Smith well okay a truly scary Dr Smith!
Finally watchend it last night.
I like it. Dr Rush is shaping up to be if not directly evil, like the Wraith or the Go'uld at least obsessive, manipulative, and evil.
The ancient communication MacGuffin is a nice way to keep them connected while keeping them isolated (if that makes sense).
The geeky kid is supposed to be 'our' (civilians) link to the show, I think. I want him to win the girl though.
I liked that they are still going to be having trouble with the ship. It would have been really lame if they had fixxed the ship ad then had it turned into the usual sci-fi explore the universe fare. Also loved th dust devil alien that Lt. Scott encountered. Notice that there was nothing said b Col. Young or Gen. O'Neil that contradicts the commnt last week abiout Dr. Rush being in charge, so I presume that he was telling the truth. Looking forward to more episodes andthe promised appeance by Morgan La Fey. She always has the most interesting apperances.
