"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

[MathiasE]

Well the ori didnt knwo there was life in any other galaxy than there own, i guess my grammer was wrong and should have said there would be no point in the ori placing gates in other galaxies if there was no life, and with the ancients they were on a long journey through space for generations until they came here never has it been mentioned they stopped and built gates in a different random galaxy.

Never been mentioned, but they were explorers so i dont see a reason why they wouldnt have gone to more places then Pegasus and Ida after Milky way

You posted that twice.

And you know you may have something there. By golly how original too, they just might do it.

thanks for pointing that out

at least if this is "slider lite" they can get back home. I'm thinking for the pilot the team pisses off a alternate reality villian and now the villain wants to get to the home teams universe and conquer this one

That would be just as vague and unhelpful as "Stargate Universe".

Or hey, how about Stargate: Deep Space Ninth Chevron?

Oh and Zed, considering that they're making the same mistakes on Atlantis that they made on SG-1 (only making them bigger and faster) I doubt they'll have learned anything by the time SGU starts filming.

Your funny. Or are you?

I think it's very possible that we could be exploring the whole universe instead of just another galaxy. It sounds very promising IMO. For a title how about Stargate:Vengence.

[Mitchell82]

AGHHHHHHHHHH! *runs away screaming*

[Mitchell82]

Dude...the Ori are the BEST enemy. I agree with you on time travel and the replicators, but the ancients and SG1? No! We must have some reference.

Anyway. My working theory is that we're following the journey of one or a few teams working out of a rather large spacecraft. Whether that be a ship or a station I can't say. Heck, if they went the route of a station like Star Trek did, I wouldn't be appalled, but I think they can do better.

It'd be really cool if they brought in the Goa'uld or the Tok'ra in some form.

I'm just so excited that it's coming so soon! Holy cow, it's like less than a year! Early '08? So like Jan or Feb?

What if the time travel stuff in Continuum conflicts with continuity and therefore this new show is born? That's a thought.

I agree except the repilcators as I like both incarnations of them. Though for the third series IMO it needs to be a completly new cast, enemy and environment. I think that to start it off someone we know needs to send them on their way then keep it seperate from there on out. The concept sounds very cool and i can't wait.

[Mitchell82]

The best part of SG (and most distinct part of it from Star Trek) is that the show is contemporary. TPTB is wise is sticking with this, imho.

Agree. Stick with a working formulae. I like prequels or future stuff but I agree with their move on this.

[QUOTE=Findo;6485788]

The "Universe" title is seriously cheesy, do we have any evidence that it really is just a working title?

Dude it is a working title here is the proofhttp://www.gateworld.net/news/2007/0...e_univer.shtml

What I want is:

* Characters remember things that happened in previous episodes and seasons.
* Characters are changed by this, and sometimes they talk about it.
* Characters don't change personality when it's convenient for the writers.
* No romance of any kind at all.
* Characters only die for meaningful reasons; we should be able to look back and see why the writers had to kill them off. There have been too many throwaway deaths in Stargate and Atlantis:

Spoiler:

Think of Robert Rothman, a fun character who could have offered us insights into Daniel's past and who got killed for nothing. We never saw Daniel or Jack deal with something that would have had a profound effect on them and their friendship. Then there's Jacob, whose death added nothing to the show at all and took away something very special. Of course in Atlantis, there's Carson, who died in a stupid way for no apparent reason. And then there's What Happened In Unending which was just pointless and depressing and didn't even make logical sense.

Oh yes, and I want flawed people who screw up, and I want their screw-ups to have consequences that last further than the end of the episode.

As to who gets cast, fans will never agree on that. Perhaps it's time to set history aside with a fresh cast and no visits from the old cast; someone will always object no matter who the guest is

As far as the rest I'm sure we will have a great story. I love the Wraith but we need a completly new enemy and characters to chew our teeth on.

[ShadowMaat]

Your funny.

My funny what? You're the one who started it. *shrug*

If SGU single team based, I'm not even gonna bother with it.

Never been mentioned, but they were explorers so i dont see a reason why they wouldnt have gone to more places then Pegasus and Ida after Milky way

And to expand on this theory.
The only proof we've seen so far of the Furlings are their mention by the asgard as well as 1 moon were they had attempted to create a paradise. (and of course the meetingplace from "The Torment of Tantalus" but we never really managed to read that i think even if we learned some of it, as i remember we learned of all the involved races in "The Fifth Race")
Other then that there is no proof of Furlings in either Ida, Milky Way or Pegasus which leads me to believe they reside/resided in another galaxy which add more reason to why there would be more gatenetworks in other places =)
And it makes sence that we'd see at least some proof of their existance, the 4 other races in this alliance we got:

Ancients: We have atlantis and have met both living and ascended ancients, their technology is all over the galaxies.
Asgard: Been friends with them almost since the beginning.
The Nox: While not close we have at least met them a few times.
Furlings: Heard mention of them and saw 1 dead former Utopia of theirs. Must be more of them somewhere

[Acolyte Of Bli'l'ab]

I think the new show will continue from the end of SG1, in the way we now have all that asguard technology to use and figure out. I also think they will probably be exploring the rest of the universe, something I'd definitly like.

I think they should also use inspiration from HP Lovecraft and have things like the Outer Gods and cthulhu-style aliens, they've never really had a truly alien enemy as a regular. And personally id like some ultra-terrifying slimey weird godlike aliens as the enemy. IA! IA! YOG-SOTHOTH!

[MathiasE]

Might want to put that first sentance in a spoilertag since everyone hasnt seen the last sg1 ep yet.

[UberGater]

hmmmm...now the Furlings might indeed be a thought...Never seen them.. only alluded to them, but seeing as we have grown up some on the galactic evolutionary scale

Spoiler:

...yanno, Aasgard's technology at our disposal

the Furlings might well be our new best friends...
