Welcome to GateWorld Forum! If this is your first visit, we hope you'll sign up and join our Stargate community. If you have questions, start with the FAQ. We've been going strong since 2004, are we are glad you are here.
If people are concerned that this show could be an exact copy of another then lets let them, no skin off our back.
At least until they see comparisons that are not there....
Because I can't help myself. RDA was born in 1950 and started SG1 when he was 47. Robert Cartyle was born in 1961 which means he is currently 48. So its pretty even.
Honestly I thought Lahela's sig was the people she thunked

This is from yet another recent John G. Lenic interview...
You’ve been with Stargate for a while now. How has the franchise changed?
JGL: [...] The stories on Stargate Universe are also so different then the last two shows. The scripts this year have been more about relationships and the people as opposed to fighting the bad guy of the week. The dilemmas are much more internal and far deeper. I have to applaud the writers for the job they have done on the scripts thus far. The episodes are nothing short of ingenious.
For those who love Stargate, you are going to love this reinvention of the franchise, and for those of you who have never watched an episode, please watch the pilot as you will see that this show really is something new, and Robert Carlyle is phenomenal. I am personally very proud of the work we have done this year.

Stargate has a large, vocal fan base. How does that affect your job?
JGL: The fans are fantastic and for as much as they are vocal about things that they don’t like, they applaud and are even more vocal and supportive about the things they like.
It has been hard with the new cast recently because they read everything and often get down on themselves when they read that people aren’t even going to give the new show a chance if Chris Judge or David Hewlett aren’t on it.
I feel bad for this new cast because they shouldn’t be made to feel that way. It isn’t fair when people knock something before even giving it a chance. The new cast is doing such a fantastic job, it is amazing how these fans affect their mood just by writing those sorts of things. It happened on Atlantis when SG-1 ended too, but it has been the topic of conversation several times in the last few months.
Makes me feel bad for the actors in this case. Still, I think things will turn around for the better once SGU actually airs and the fan base really kicks in.
At the very least, their return trip to Comic Con next year is all but guaranteed to be even better than their first
