I know, I'm being rather picky about this new show, but I think it's important to take mostly all aspects into account. Although I'm an avid fan of Joel Goldsmith's work, I think that it may be time for a new artist in the musician's spot.
That is, of course, if the creation team for SGU are planning to take the series into new territory. I think that instead of re-using the same tracks again and again in each episode (Star Trek is also at fault for this), the musician should compose new tracks for each episode, or every few episodes, like Bear McCreary does with BSG.
I'm not saying it has to sound like BSG's score, but the tracks should be more varied and special to each character or event. I think that the soundtrack to any TV Show is important, I believe that it's an essential part to how the scenes come across to the viewers.
Maybe, like with SG-1 and SGA, Joel Goldsmith could compose the main theme, but I'd recommend tptb hiring another artist or group of artists to create a soundtrack for the rest of the series, making the show overall more varied in what it offers as entertainment.
Some examples of great artists would be;
Bear McCreary (Of BSG and TSCC fame)
Christophe Beck (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Robert J. Kral (Angel)
Murray Gold (Doctor Who)
Marty Simon (Lexx)
Harry Gregson-Williams (Metal Gear Solid, The Chronicles of Narnia, Shrek)
