Still... If you cast a 25 yo hot actress, having her play a nuclear physicist can be a little unbelievable. Yes, I do mean Denise Richards in 007's 'The World Is Not Enough'. Heck, having her play a typical SGC soldier might even cause problems. Not that smart people can't be pretty and young, but the way we've seen the pretty and young characterized and plot-situated in Stargate and dressed [yes, I do mean Anise/Vanessa Angel and, to an extent, Keller] to this point doesn't hold out much hope for me. I'm still hoping, though. Still hoping.

I hope there will be a flashback type story arc in the first season. I think it would be interesting to see Destiny as a ghost ship. Maybe our heroes will discover that some Ancients fled with Destiny to reach the other ship, but the ship went into a cosmic trap, so the crew died or left the Destiny. Maybe a hostile race conquered it, but whatever happened, the Destiny was sent automatically back to the start point, so Young's journey will find there. Maybe there will be some clue what happened with the original crew and where they went...."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

Woot.
Maybe there were more Destiny type ship, so other crews began the same mission earlier. Maybe this event repeats themselves in every 10000 year, because they want to test humanity at the end. So maybe the whole journey is a game of a much older race(s).

Back from the spinning. I am sure they will reuse the set of the Destiny ship in different situations (AU, dream, flashback episodes), so they will find a way to introduce other "Destiny" type ships."I was hoping for another day.

To those of you asking, I’m not scheduled to leave for Japan for another two weeks. STOP RUSHING ME!!! Between now and then, I’ll be heading into the office to spin stories for SGU’s inaugural season, working on that super, secret project (Holy Moly! Almost 8 full pages now!), and, most importantly, work on my Tokyo itinerary. With regard to the latter, Carl Binder was kind enough to forward me the following link in an email titled “A possible side trip when you go to Japan…”

If I may be so bold as to interject a moment. Another poster in another thread likened SGU to something similar to what Farscape was and what BSG is. I thought that interesting point because the idea had been running through my head for sometime. So this is what I had to say on the topic...
Farscape always had that heavy romantic element between Crichton and Aeryn; enough so as to really make it a vital part of the entire series. It was as much about the development of their relationship with respect to the events of the show as it was about space travel, wormholes, and Crichton trying not to kill everybody.
BSG (throughout the first 2 seasons mostly) was perhaps the most well-balanced sci-fi show between sci-fi and personal relationships. A lot of that had to due with it's heavy dependence on philosophy and human psychology to drive the plot forward. It was never just sci-fi, at least not in the way the majority of sci-fi television is envisioned today. BSG was reminiscent of the classic SF novels that were just as much about humanity as they were about science fiction, space, and robots.
My only problem with accepting that SGU can succeed where those shows have gone and where SG-1 and SGA have kinda sort failed is that I doubt TPTB will be changing very much. I honestly don't think that the current PTB have it in them to create that complex of a television show. And if they do then I'd like to know why they haven't been employing more if it in SGA.
Just throwing that out there. Wondering what other people think. I realize that this has probably already been discussed, but humour me. Wading through 150 pages of posts doesn't exactly equal fun for me.sigpic

I like SGA and SG-1 more than BSG, so obviously I would prefer SGU to be more like it's predecessors. Don't get me wrong, BSG is "better" from a critic's point of view, but I think SGA/SG-1 are funner shows and shows I can rewatch and rewatch. BSG isn't like that for me. So for my part, I'm completely ok with SGU having more of an SGA feel than a BSG feel.sigpicFOX Network

Cause i've been dead for so long.
