"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

[Starxgate]

It'd be interesting if it was Lorne

I would love to see Lorne get promoted (if he can get promoted) & he is chosen by Jack maybe with a recommendation from Carter ? To lead the new team

I doubt it will be an SG-1 member because they are probably going to be left on Earth for the movies, unless they go the Worf from Star Trek route and have them just happening to somehow be at SGC when a new crisis arises, but IMHO I hope that don't go that route because that always annoyed me in the Star Trek movies. As for Lorne, that would be pretty cool. I've really like him on Atlantis and would be very happy if he became a regular on one of the shows.

Lorne definitely has a lot of potential and is a great leader. I think I'd rather have him be promoted to Lt. Colonel and be the team leader in the new series rather than have a completely new person.

OT: Generations was right after TNG I believe, before Worf came on DS9. In First Contact, Worf was only there because a Borg Cube had arrived and they needed as many ships there as possible, and considering that the Defiant was made especially to fight the Borg, it makes sense it was there. Insurrection happened either during season 7 or right after season 7 of DS9. And Nemesis happened a few years after DS9, so I don't think their excuses for having Worf in all of the TNG movies was that bad.

I totally agree. I would definitely support Lorne leading a team in the new show rather than some new person altogether.

[PG15]

Lorne and Zelenka for Stargate Universe!!

[the fifth man]

Lorne and Zelenka for Stargate Universe!!

I'd be for that. However, I would miss Zelenka on SGA. I love his relationship with McKay.

[Xicer]

Agreed. Where there's McKay there has to be Zelenka!

[the fifth man]

Agreed. Where there's McKay there has to be Zelenka!

That is kind of how I feel. I just wish his character got more screen time on SGA sometimes.

[Colonel Eriksen]

I hope Major Evan Lorne wiil be in Stargate Universe and be a Lieutenant Colonel

[chyron]

I read somewhere that SGU will deal with the Ninth Chevron. Where the hell is the ninth chevron on the stargate?

[PG15]

Beneath the ramp, I reckon.

[chyron]

Beneath the ramp, I reckon.

I've freeze framed shots of the SG1 and SGA gates and just don't count a ninth chevron. I only count eight. Do I need to find a freeze frame of a free standing gate like the one in 38 Minutes where you can see all chevrons?

[PG15]

Yes, most definately.

from pt of the robert cooper interview

GW: Is there any news on the third series yet? Have there been any developments? I know you guys are obviously busy doing other things.

RCC: Brad and I have written up basically a one-page document that outlines the concept and the characters for the series. That's being used as a sales document to put together the financing. It is definitely very, very high on the agenda of things for MGM to get going. They're asking us. Basically, MGM is saying to Brad and I, "When can you have it ready? When can you physically, actually write the script and start production?" These things take time. They aren't just born and grow on their own, unfortunately.

GW: Would the new series, content-wise, have anything to do with the events of "Unending?"

RCC: No.

Rob indicated in March that the fact that they were focusing on the two movies through the winter and spring of this year and not on Stargate Universe would actually give MGM (hopefully) plenty of time to secure financing and anything else they needed to do.

That means that with a script written over the summer, it's entirely possible that they might get a green light, cast in the fall, and go into production next Feb/March for a 2008 premiere.

That depends, of course, on the other giant piece of the puzzle: Just where Stargate Universe is going to air. Or perhaps the right word is "air," since in this interview he's subtlely hinting at the possibility of digital distribution. It will also be interesting to see if SCI FI is ready to commit to a third series for '08, and whether or not that is affected by Atlantis's renewal or cancellation.
