After some character descriptions of "Stargate: Universe" started to leak out, some fans -- especially those who have followed the Stargate franchise over the years -- lashed out calling the effort more of a move that should be found on the Lifetime network rather than SciFi Channel.
But executive producer Joseph Mallozzi is out to assure fans that any pre-conceptions they have of the show turning into a primetime soap opera have nothing to worry about.
"In spite of what the indicators may suggest, this will definitely not be a 'Voyager: 90210,'" Mallozzi said in his blog, according to GateWorld. "In fact, in many ways, it's a much more cerebral and mature addition to the franchise. While firmly entrenched in pre-established Stargate mythology, 'Stargate: Universe' definitely strikes out in an exciting new direction. It's a series that will delight veteran fans, but also appeal to newcomers who may not necessarily know the difference between an Alteran and an Asuran."
