"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

[PG15]

You were talking about Zuko/Kytara, weren't you.

I was a snarky ******* during the shipping wars too, but this current topic is a little more serious.

It's about race.

[jelgate]

We are? Really?

Like for serious?

Its more of a reading between the lines type thing but yes. The mods come in say the same thing about us not being there and close the thread.

Yo dudes and dudettes, we have info by ways of Robert Carlyle:

“What we know so far is that he’s been married, but his wife is dead,” Carlyle told The Official Stargate SG-1/Atlantis Magazine. “The fact that he was married is the only thing that actually roots him in reality, because he ‘lives’ in a different type of reality, one, I believe, in his own mind. Rush is by far the biggest expert on Ancient technology, and when his wife dies and he gets the chance to go on this exploration of the universe, he jumps at it because there’s nothing left for him [on Earth].”

I wrote in a post a while back that I wanted someone who likes being out there, away from the troubles of home and also getting the chance to explore the Universe, to counterbalance the others in the character line-up, so I'm KINDA VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

mgm states: 'A band of soldiers, scientists and civilians are forced through a stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, The Destiny, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth. Faced with meeting the most basic needs of food, water and air, the group must unlock the secrets of the ship's stargate to survive. The danger, adventure and hope they find on board Destiny will reveal the heroes and villains among them.

Stargate Universe will debut as a two-hour movie event on Syfy and will be distributed by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series.'

Of course. SGU is SGA done right (with major changes of course). Cut off from Earth, major character development, ensemble cast, set on an old Ancient ship (Atlantis, Destiny)...

Until TPTB get tired of all the greatness and decide to go back to formulaic episodes, shallow characters, permanent SG-1 crossovers, medieval villages, English-speaking "aliens" and 2d baddies

How spoilery is Rush's past, etc? Is it gonna ruin everything when we learn of his character later on?

Um...no his past isn't that spoilery. It's probably nothing too surprising, but this is obviously a subjective thing. Knowing it will not help you in the slightest, so if you would rather not then I wouldn't worry about it.

However, there's a spoiler in the second part of the article that you may not want to know. Again, it's very minor but gives away a plot point for a later episode.
