"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

[Pandora's_Box]

Any reason why?

Well, I don't watch Smallville, but I was bored one night, flipping the channels (as you do when you're bored and have way too many channels at your disposal), and I happened to stop and watch a bit of Smallville. Coincidentally, this was an episode with the Black Canary (played by Alaina Huffman). It was...not pretty. At least not in my opinion. Granted, I don't think much of any of the actors on Smallville and she was no better.

So, this leaves me very unenthused by the casting choice if it so happens to be true.

[Pandora's_Box]

she was also in painkiller jane if that helps

Not really.

ehhhh, have you seen conner trineer in enterprise? he is terrible because the show is terrible.

He is awesome as Michael in Atlantis

Actually, I liked Tripp on Enterprise. Or rather, I liked the character more in the last 2 seasons. Which is ironic I guess.

Regardless, Trineer can act and you can see that in the scenes he's in. Huffman, not so much. From what I've seen of her, she tends to overplay. Could be the fault of the writing or she could just be that bad.

I won't dismiss her out of hand 'till I see more of her work, but I'm not exactly thrilled.

Painkiller Jane could only hurt...


But I've never seen this actress anywhere. If it's true, I'll just have to reserve judgement for when SGU actually comes on.

[Shan Bruce Lee]

I like that choice, if it's true.

Well given that this is Smallville and Painkiller Jane we are talking about I imagine its more the writing then the actor. That said if this true we won't really be able to know for certain until Air.

I disagree. I thought he was great in that show. And say what you like about the first two seasons of Enterprise, but the last two were fantastic. I like Trineer as Michael. I think every episode he was in was automatically a bit better because of his presence. He out-acts everybody else in the show. But I think he was really under-used in SGA. There was a lot of potential there that was never fully realized.

She was playing a part named the black canary, 'nuff said.

That doesn't excuse bad dialogue.

[Bytor]

That doesn't excuse bad dialogue.

someone gave her what to say,, someone invented that retarded part.... she only had so much to work with.

[kennythewraith]

That doesn't excuse bad dialogue.

yeah but bad diologue is far from her fault....thats usually because of the scriptand writers writing poorly ,which smallville has had in the past few seasons.

[Stormtrooper]

I think she will be alright. The Carter factor could work against her for several reasons though.

Not nessciarlly. Yes bad dialouge can be but its also highly likely that actor can't deliver the lines properly. Which one it is I don't know but I guess we'll find out in Autum.

[kennythewraith]

so anyone find any new news...like maybe a casting announcements?
