mdshare Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 [align=center][/align] Stargate Universe is set on the Ancient ship Destiny, which was launched from Earth, probably several million years ago. Several ships were sent ahead of it to seed the universe with Stargates. The Ancients had planned on using the Stargate to board Destiny when it was far out enough into the universe, but learned how to ascend before that time. In order to reach this ship, an address would have to be dialed consisting of nine chevrons, a possibility that had been unknown in the previous Stargate series. The series begins when a team of soldiers and scientists from present-day Earth step through the Stargate to find the Destiny after their base is attacked. Many of its primary systems are damaged or failing, and they are unable to return to Earth or even maneuver the ship. However, the Destiny periodically stops to dial the Stargate to planets with necessary supplies to repair the ship. The writers have discussed the possibility that each season represents a voyage of the Destiny through a different galaxy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv4xGLynNsM&feature=player_embedded Official website at mgm.com Official website at syfy.com Stargate Universe at the Internet Movie Database Stargate Universe episode guide at GateWorld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Affect Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 i have always liked things with Robert Carlyle in but i think maybe they did too many spin off of the movie Stargate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Not a big fan on things like this but I may just watch it I have a tendency to like things with Lou Diamond Phillips in. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 First season was ... dunno ... maybe I still have to adjust to the different style where SG-1/SG Atlantis was more action ... however the season finale was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corruptcity || skalman Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 IMO SGU feels more like enterprise the last star trek spin off with jonathan archer rather than a stargate spin off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Dunno, Enterprise was all action while this is more drama it's more about the interaction and story between people on SGU than the action we are used to for so many years.

wolfe Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I seem to remember somewhere that they were intending to spend a lot of time developing the characters. The length of time the stargate remains open will definitely put a limit on the action unless that somehow changes in the future. I was happy with the season finale, will be interesting to see how the next one starts off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
