Why Stargate Universe is no Voyager/BSG mashup
After more than a decade of Stargate series established lengthy backstories for both the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies, where does a new entrant in the franchise take the story? How about the vast frontier of the universe?

"The fact is that if I pitch you a story about somebody getting lost and trying to get home, that's a story that's been told countless times throughout history," Cooper said. "That aspect was not unique to Voyager. What's very different about this show and Voyager is that it's about us, in a contemporary sense of you and I beamed off out of our houses onto a spaceship. What are we going to do and what are our concerns? We're not in Starfleet. It's not an antiseptic future, militaristic happy place where everybody gets along. I don't apologize for telling a story about people trying to get home. In many ways, that was somewhat built into the first season of Atlantis as well."sigpic

It's all about how these common storytelling techniques are used, and how well-written the characters in these situations end up being.

The same applies to BSG. Just because there are similarities between shows, it hardly means it's a carbon-copy...and those shows that came before certainly weren't the first to tell these types of stories, yet they were still successful.

It looks like BW and RCC will hold true with their premise, or at least they say so. But I have faith in them.
RCC also pointed out something that should put the 'this is BSG!!!' screamers to rest...(unfortunately they won't because we know you can't change people's minds.)
"The fact is that if I pitch you a story about somebody getting lost and trying to get home, that's a story that's been told countless times throughout history," Cooper said. "That aspect was not unique to Voyager. What's very different about this show and Voyager is that it's about us, in a contemporary sense of you and I beamed off out of our houses onto a spaceship.

I don't apologize for telling a story about people trying to get home. In many ways, that was somewhat built into the first season of Atlantis as well."
Cooper even suggested that SGU might be more in sync with the original concept of Voyager than Voyager ended up being. Wright promised that SGU will stick to its course after the pilot.
Very nice article. Enjoyed reading it.
There are no regrets. Thank you Brad Wright and everyone else for SGU,
and the amazing Stargate franchise in general.
