Talk:Stargate Universe

Alternate Timeline?
will this series be like an "alternate timeline" or what?
 * No. Well, I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure it's not.&mdash;Anubis 10545 20:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

A Younger Audience? Really?
Am I the only one who got an immediate Teen Gate vibe off of this article?

"Universe will attempt to appeal to a broader audience, drawing new viewers into the Stargate world. The show will be "a little more character-based, a little less rooted in a sci-fi mythology..."

"''Part of the new focus is a deliberate attempt to bring in younger viewers to watch Stargate Universe. "This is an opportunity to reinvent this franchise and make it relevant to a new generation," SCI FI president Dave Howe told The Hollywood Reporter. "We really don't want to be more of the same. It's going to build clearly off the existing franchise but with a cast that gives it a younger vibe."''"

The more and more I hear about this series, the less I like the sound of it. At the moment, it sounds to me like the cast of Dawson's Creek is stranded on the U.S.S. Voyager. —Ka&#39;lel 06:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I've thought this was like Teen Gate since I saw the casting information. It seems like nearly everyone is just a younger ripoff of a Atlantis or SG-1 character. --Golden Monkey 13:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

does nyone know where i can watch the preview for it? i ehard that the first airing of the atlantis finale had it at the end. or was it the preview for the sga movie? if anyone knows can u tell me where to watch the preview of them—SupremeCommander 22:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to the Stargate Universe promo on Youtube. It's not much though, only about 12 seconds long.&mdash;Anubis 10545 03:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it cirtainly isn't much, allthough the Stargate looks a little different Sman789 03:21, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh, I hadn't noticed that. The chevrons almost look like circles... although it could easily just be all in the animation and video quality.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

aww, thats it? ah well. yea the stargate IS different. different color and different chevrons. its possible that this was the second variation of the stargate with milky way and ida being first and pegasus being 3rd—SupremeCommander 04:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Although if the chevrons are circles... well, they wouldn't really be chevrons then. They would have to say "Circle one encoded". Although I don't really think they would do that... I don't know..&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Primates fist appeared in the fossil record on earth a little over 50000000 million years ago around the same time the Ancients arrived on earth presumably this is because of Ancients engineering life to evolve in to humans why then did it take 50000000 million years for humans to fully evolve to there present form on earth but it took less than 3000000 years for the same to take place on planets in the Pegasus Galaxy and why do no over planets that have been seeded with human life have any primate species besides humans

First of all, this isn't really about Stargate Universe, and second of all, maybe they engineered it specifically to take that long. Or maybe you're just thinking too hard. :) Byakuya Truelight 11:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Castings
After the recent castings, they are clearly going for a younger cast. Not as young as I was expecting, kind of around the "Aiden Ford" age. While he was interesting as a main character, I would never have accepted him to be a team leader at his age. However, I am more optimistic about the series after reading Brad Wright's and Paul Mullie's Q&As on Joseph Mallozzi's blog, and I recommend them to everyone, as they're good reads. —Ka&#39;lel 04:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I did like Aiden, but yea, he wasn't really a "leader" figure. More of a sidekick. Although if you get any younger than that, well... you don't want to send 15 year olds across the universe. :) I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work... &mdash;Anubis 10545 04:34, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Plot... thing
Via a thread on Gateworld, I came across this:. It gave some description of "Air", but obviously the facts are in question and it's subject to change. But, (in case no one's seen this before) I thought I'd bring it up.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's pretty significant if it ends up being at least somewhat accurate... --JemHadar359 17:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Sneak Peak Promo
A promo for SGU will air during the series finale of Battlestar Galactica tomorrow night on the "SyFy (eugh)" channel. Because I don't get that channel up here in Canada, I'll most likely miss it, but it'll probably be uploaded to youtube. Keep an eye out. Cheers.—Ka&#39;lel 15:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added the trailer to the article. There's a quick glance at the new Stargate design/prop, and some worried stares from a few cast members including Robert Carlyle and Lou Diamond Phillips. On a side note for any BSG fans, how frakking awesome was that finale, eh? Cheers. —Ka&#39;lel 04:06, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * For me, the finale is only 30 minutes in. Although I was able to see the promo for SGU, mistakenly labeled as the promo for "Caprica" moments before it aired.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Exclusive Robert Carlyle Interview
IGN has an "exclusive" (for now at least) interview with Robert Carlyle up on their site. It gives quite a bit more insight into his character and from the intro graphic, it looks like we can expect more of these videos in the future. | Here's the link.

Art Style
Does anyone else think that judging by the pictures of the gate and the ship, SGU seems a bit steampunky? Fa6ade 15:55, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
