You should be able to get enough background from just watching the movie. I have seen every episode multiple times of SG1 and Atlantis, they are worth watching if the series interests you. But they said you should be able to watch it without ever seeing the other series.

That's what it seemed like from the previews of it. Thanks.

Yeah, I think it is being geared as a whole new experience. From the reviews I've read the premiere feels like Stargate but steps up all the flaws from the previous shows. As a huge fan of SG-1 and Atlantis (Just check my gallery) I am extremely excited and anxious to get my hands on Universe and test it out.

I have all the series as well, but that F-302 seems impressive, you should have it out of the box. Or are you never going to open it and hope it becomes a collectors item?

Marquoz · 10-03-2009, 03:14 PM

So glad it finally premiered! I've been dying without my Stargate! I think the dynamics of the group is already interesting. There's lines being drawn in the sand from the get go.

[Show spoiler]

Can't wait for next weekend to be able to watch a bit more. There's been a great emotional start to the show, and I hope it keeps the pace up.

No, it's just kinda fragile and I want to keep it safe until I find it a permanent home.

That premiere last night was pretty good. Definitely not the Stargate I'm used to but I guess we'll see if it's got what it takes after a few more episodes. We all remember how rough the first season of SG-1 was.
Don't get me wrong, I liked it. It's just not the same but I think it'll get better when they start making grand discoveries.

Gamma_Winstead · 11-06-2010, 07:00 PM

Tuesdays episode was excellent. Greer as Eli's wingman = hysterical.

Cplhicks · 11-06-2010, 07:43 PM

This show has definitely improved since the beginning, and seems pretty enjoyable from week to week. Eli's new gf is pretty darn cute too.

Goldensuitcase · 11-06-2010, 09:31 PM

I am actually getting tired of RUSH being so distant and hiding everyhting he finds out. I know it's what his character is supposed to be like, but it seems that because he is this way, he is UNDERUSED in this show. The guy is a really good actor and needs to have more screentime and not be a character we hate. Last season did a better job of making us feel for his situation as opposed to this season which makes us think he's just a complete ass.

Other than that, it's a good show. I prefer this storyline over Atlantis and the first series and hope it is here to stay for a few seasons.

Gamma_Winstead · 11-11-2010, 07:48 PM

Very good episode last night.

Gamma_Winstead · 11-11-2010, 08:11 PM

WTF? The ads are RUINING main plot points! Thats worse than what CW did!

Gamma_Winstead · 12-16-2010, 07:37 PM

Just got the news. Cancelled. Good bye Stargate.

krazeyeyez · 12-16-2010, 08:44 PM

-_- ..... Tv in general has just about broken me when it comes to sci-fi, my favorite genre. I feel like its not even worth investing myself in a new series when it will never be given the support or chance it deserves.

Do these execs not realize what fandom can mean for the bank, are they really that short sited. I seem to remember a certain show lasting only three seasons and spawning an endless bank for the greedy sobs at paramount.

SG-1 would have most certainly been cancelled in todays tv/scifi environment, along with babylon 5, x-files, among many others. Now we get a season or two of potential and a nice cancellation before a show can reach its peak and solidify itself.

INSERT MORE PISSED RANTING HERE

really though this does bother me, i just hit up the dvr today to watch the mid season finale and thought it was great.

Glad they went ahead and cancelled caprica as well, since i was just about to start getting into that one. Saved me some time. Too many good books out there that actually have endings.

I am so happy right now. This is what they get for getting rid of atlantis !!!
Also maybe we can finally get the sg1 and atlantis movies

.
Sgu was a ok show BUT NOT A STARGATE SHOW! I laughed my ass off last year at the sg1/sga convention in Chicago with what joe and others said.
I do feel a little bad for the sgu actors and wish them all the best. And even tho i have a strong distaste for the show i do own it on blu Because i think of it as a crazy scifi show not stargate!

Gamma_Winstead · 12-16-2010, 09:12 PM

Yeah, whatever dude. It's also been announced the movies are dead too, so go cheer on that for a while.

PS, they let all the actors know through twitter. The same time WE found out. Bunch of shit.

Zvi · 12-16-2010, 09:56 PM

Damn

I really liked SGU and enjoyed SG1/SGA too. Sci-Fi management are seriously screwed up in their heads cancelling SGU.

They're not even gonna air what's left of S2?

P.S. itswez what the hell are you cheering for anyway, SG1 and SGA are long gone, and you are happy we got one more good show cancelled?

They are going to finish airing season 2.
Syfy is just the new fox. I dont feel too bad because it was either sga or sgu and they chose sgu so now we have neither shows . It is also why i chose not to watch it on tv but mainly because i hate syfy. Like i said before i do own season 1 of sgu and i view it as a show NOT A PART OF THE STARGATE Franchise and it was an ok show.

If that's true, it's pretty damned ugly.
I don't think this show was put together well at all, but if people work hard for you for 40 hours of TV, you should have the decency to tell them they're done face to face.
