"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

New Writers can only mean good things. New writers equal fresh ideas and a greater variance in writing styles, which equals....Woohoo! Not that I don't like whats come out of tptb so far, but for this to work they will need to think outside of the box.

Well...that doesn't always prove to be true.

I cite the case of Ronald Wilkerson, who wrote for Star Trek: TNG and ST: VOY, and very briefly -- 4 episodes for Stargate SG-1 -- including some less than normal quality episodes as: Red Sky, Between Two Fires, Proving Ground, Sentinel and contributed to Sight Unseen, Covenant and Bounty.

[PG15]

I loved Red Sky and Between Two Fires.

[Luvnjoe]

I like Proving Ground

[morjana]

I like Proving Ground

Actually, I like parts of Proving Ground, just not the whole episode.

[morjana]

I loved Red Sky and Between Two Fires.

Pats PG15 on the head.

That's okay, dear, we love you anyway.

[PG15]

Awesome!

Good point. I guess the main point I was trying make was that it will hopefully provide a greater style of eps throughout the series. One of the things I like about RCC is his ability to change things up during his episode and alter the tone and impact of his episodes. I feel that some of the SG writers can sometimes pump out the same stuff with the same feel over and over again. While I do like that it can become a little boring and stagnant. New and one-off freelance writers can provide a different feel for their eps and thus, we will get varied eps throughout the season.

Then again, it could be a train wreck that most of us don't want to see happen. Only time will tell.

Meyer? Why the balls would they bring her in?

Ugh, I would help you.

I thought I was the one who always started mob rule

[SGFerrit]

I like the sound of Camille. So it'll be military, scientist, and IOA vying for control. Sounds good

Spoiler:

Spoiler TV has posted two new casting calls for the new Stargate Universe television series, set to begin filming February 4 with the pilot episode entitled “Air”:

[SENATOR WALKER]
Male. 50s. 60s. Distinguished Senator who is the political oversight to this Stargate project trying to dial the 9th Chevron. Also the proud loving father of Chloe Walker his daughter and political aids… GUEST STAR, 2 EPISODE ARC. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. STAR NAMES ONLY.

Senator Walker is the father of series regular Chloe Walker, formerly known as Chloe Carpenter. As indicated in Chloe’s character breakdown, Senator Walker will die a tragic death, possibly during the attack on the base where the Stargate connects to the Destiny through the Ninth Chevron. If they’ve changed the names of the characters, however, it is also possible they’ve changed storylines as well and the good senator might survive to return to the show another day, although the “2-episode arc” detail kind of supports the death scenario. We’ll have to wait and see on that.

[CAMILLE WRAY]
30-50. An accountant with the international oversight body that governs the Stargate program. Now the highest ranking member of that body left stranded on the ship, she has a false sense of importance and superiority to the other military and civilian population along with a stubborn way of asserting it.sptv050769..GUEST STAR, POSSIBLY RECURRING, PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.

Wray was talked about by creative consultant Joseph Mallozzi in his blog as an important secondary character. His description: “I also think Wray has a lot of potential for getting under Young and co.’s skin. She’s a definite love her or hate her type of character, one who’ll prove the bane to many a series regular, and probably some viewers as well.”

In addition to signing up Robert Carlyle to portray Dr. David Rush, casting has also been completed for Col. Everett Young, Lt. Jared Scott (formerly Nash), Eli Hitchcock, and Marine Ron Stasiak. The possibility also exists that they’ve selected their Chloe and Tamara Johanson (aka Jon) as well. Mallozzi said that casting announcements will be officially released very soon.
