Catch the premiere of the third incarnation of the Stargate franchise tonight at 9/8c PM on SYFY Channel.
I for one think this show is going to be pretty good as the second spin-off of Stargate SG-1. What does anyone else here think?
I was kinda pissed that they announced this was going into production the day after they announced Stargate: Atlantis’ cancelation. But now that I’ve seen a couple of trailers and teasers I think it’ll be great.
well I am hoping for greatness here, but I read a few things around online and they say this is being done with a different approach as to catch new fans to the series. I just hope it isnt a “stargate soap opera” but the teasers and such did look good. Lets hope. Also cant wait for the Atlantis movie to come out!
Love it, i really do, Robert Carlyle is so awesome as Dr Rush
the new direction works for me, some of the “complaints” on forums are pathetic like usage of the Alteran stones originally showed the persons body you in habited and now looks like complete teleportation (although the 4th ep surely shut them up)
and others on the ships age being hundreds of thousands of year old and being more advanced, despite the aincients nearly being wiped out by a virus its safe to assume some technology was lost in this period like our dark ages
basically silly fan boy arguments because there isn’t a ga’ould/ori/replicator in site and no camp super weapon saving the day all the time.
and complaints on them using religion, I’m sorry its always been in Stargate, and to expect a catholic soldier to not hallucinate about his dead priest father figure while wander a desert is just a bit silly
I had my reservations at first, but I’m invested (at least for now).
I liken it to Star Trek Voyager meets Zor’s battlefortress from Robotech - interesting that they’re in a predicament they can’t easily escape from (the military folks will eventually run out of ammo and bullets) and who knows what or who’s onboard that vessel. I’m sure later in the show, whether it be this season or follow-on, that there’s someone else onboard all this time (and then comes the Space Zombies!).
The pace is tedious right now (running out of air, running out of power, etc.), but I don’t want the show to rush into things too fast.
well that unknown pod that flew off at the end of Air Part 3 was intriguing, i suspect that they aren’t the first to come to the Destiny
I’m hoping its either the Asgard (looked a little like the armour they wore in the pegasus galaxy) or those wierd aliens seen in that one episode of Atlantis where the deadalus was jumping realities
I’m hoping it will descend into a lord of the flies situation, there already seems to be a situation of Rush’s camp and The others
I am SO addicted to this show. I never got into the other Stargates, (to cheesy/campy), but this one has sucked me right in. It borrows HEAVILY from BSG, to be sure-- but I don’t really view that as a bad thing. I’m just happy to be so invested in a group of characters again!
Any theories on Dr. Rush? I’m going the Ancient route, but I’m sure that’s too obvious.
I must say, one of my favs is Eli. I think he’s going to be a fan favorite who will play a large role in the grand scheme.
The last scene of episode 7 literally made my jaw drop. Col. Telford is a shady mofo.
Tough to say, eh? I’m sure the producers WANT us to think he’s going back to bang Young’s wife, (?.. is she his wife or gf?.. and what the hell is her name again?..), but it might be to set the record straight, who knows. POint being, he’s been nothing but arrogant, selfish and flat out sketchy thus far.
This show is like sci-fi crack for me, I can’t get enough. Can anyone believe how the most recent episode ended? One hell of a cliffhanger. The whole thing with Telford showing up at Young’s wife’s house still hasn’t been elaborated on either.
Hahaha!! Yea. I was waiting for him to yell “Mass hysteria!” after he said that. How about “Time”? That was by far the best episode this season. One crazy as hell romp through the gate.
I am the opposite of Gareee. I love the show. Eli is my favorite and I don’t think they give Rush enough credit really. While he has his ulterior motives I do not believe that he would endanger the other members of the crew. There is something that we just don’t know about him yet and he is keeping it shielded really well. I think it makes for great character development. I don’t want to know everything about everybody in the first few episodes. And YES!!! “Time” so far is my favorite episode and I am dying to find out when they revisit that that one pod is missing.
I think they have finally hit the bottom with the SG franchise. I’m a big fan of the original movie, SG-1 and its movie sequels but Atlantis and SGU aren’t really keeping with Stargate tradition. They’ve lost the element from the film that started it all. Now they’re Star Trek clones with their own ships and being out in space more than exploring. I feel everything SG ended after Continuum. Oh well, this is what happens when studio executives won’t let a good thing rest for the love of money.
I might get smacked for this, and I cannot say how different SGU is from the other Stargate franchises (since I never watched anything Stargate until SGU came out) but I absolutely LOVE this show. I cannot get enough, seriously.
And my favorite character is Dr. Rush. I have followed Mr. Robert Carlyle’s work for many years, and to see him on such a huge franchise such as Stargate, omg. I just hope the show continues to go on. I was pleased to see how pleased Robert was with the whole thing. …yeah I’ll stop fangirling now.
