No, you don't get it. It's about how the characters are being written. Sheppard is being written as younger version of O'Neill. The other characters are written differently from their SG-1 "counterparts", all but Sheppard.



And I respectfully disagree with that, since in my opinion he's slowly becomming more and more O'Neill, Jr..

I disagree. He may have similar qualities but he is far from being a copy of Oneill.

LOL, I asked Joe F that question that if he thinks his character is similar to O'neill. He joked around and made fun of my handle name!

That sounds like him.

I noticed this tidbit on Joes blog:

Answer: It’s possible. Events in the back half of season 4 will open the door to all sorts of possibilities.

I'm thinking new galaxy, or at least access to a new location other than the regular Pegasus that we are used to.

They need to do this eventually anyway since the Pegasus galaxy is (want for a better phrase) a bit stale now.

No, that would be a cop-out especially when there is still so much left undeveloped in the current PG.

Of course it is with the current writing, they are leaving so much things undeveloped and underused that is has to become stale. They're written themselves into a corner with their idea of "a new enemy must be an even stronger enemy".

As for the non-humanoid aliens, I'm betting it'll be Michael's creations gaining sapience or something.

Of course it would be, but then the majority of viewers are interested in new powerful enemies rather than the latest Genii gardening techniques.

Unfortunately that has become the staple of stargate 'tension'. Apparently we need powerful enemies for major story arcs.

They were already humanoid.

Make the SGC the enemy of the expedition.

Which is bad since they'll write Deus Ex Machine solutions to defeat those enemies.

Sapient as in intelligent, thinking for themselves.

I disagree. There is plenty in Pegasus to explore.

Do you guys think that they'll use parts of the back half of season five as something that would lead to Universe? Sort of how a lot of season 7 of SG-1 lead into Atlantis? I am not sure if I missed something earlier on this thread, but I was talking about it with some of the family over the holidays.

Probably not. Universe is far from even getting that far. They are still working on the concept however if I remember correctly they said it would be completly seperate from the rest of the franchise.

Oh come on...

The wraith have pillaged the vast majority of the Pegasus galaxy.

We saw various star maps and explanations of how they have limited human development for the purpose of feeding. They have ensured races do not evolve or develop to the point of becoming a threat to them.

The traveler's get away with this because they are not stationary, they travel and develop thanks to ingenuity and boldness to explore and constantly be on the move.

The Pegasus galaxy has been portrayed by cannon as being full of semi developed races, some of them even being pre or post-industrial worlds. However, other than the Genii the majority have been pretty much useless to us.

How exactly is the series supposed to expand and grow in such stagnant conditions? Think about it!

As it was with SG-1 yet they managed to do just fine in the confines of the MW. Same applies here. The galaxy is a big place thousands of planets to explore so the PG is far from stagnant.
