Actually, they do like to cast actors who have done scifi before. When the casting lady was at a con, she explained that folks who knew how to work with green screens, knew about technobabble, were great for scifi.

So I guess if they were releasing the additonal cast info this week they would have done it already?BSG (Drama/Soap Opera)
Soap Opera: The main characteristics that define soap operas are "an emphasis on family life, personal relationships, sexual dramas, emotional and moral conflicts; some coverage of topical issues; set in familiar domestic interiors with only occasional excursions into new locations
Drama: A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes
SG1/SGA are not Drama/Soap although some elements are touched on to add depth to these action/adventure series. If you want to see a show focused on Soap/Drama go watch BSG or Days of our Lives.Comment

Where was it I heard they'd reveal more of the cast before the end of the week?Comment

Mallozzi said it in his blog. My guess is that once SGA is dead (midnight tonight), then the NBCU press machine will spew out "SGA may be gone,but look, shiny new toy!" I mean, it stands to reason they'd just follow the pattern they've already establishedOriginally posted by Bytor View Post
But I'm sure they'll save it until after SGA is off the air. Although if they have any brains, they'll advertise for SGU with an ad of some kind during "End of the Gate" to entice viewers to a new series later on in the year. Most viewers don't visit boards like these.Comment

What I mean is they aren't still looking for the actors they want, they've already found them, at this point all they're doing is narrowing down the selection they've called back.Originally posted by prion View PostActually, they do like to cast actors who have done scifi before.

I'm hoping we'll get some casting news soon on the regular cast members. Most interested to see who will play Everett Young of course, but even if I've never heard of the rest it will be interesting to see (I assume photos will be released) what the new cast looks like.
Even though this will be Stargate: Lost in Space, if they can keep it intense and original along the lines of Farscape it should be a good show. The fact that it will be character and arc driven will help I think.Comment

They stuck a really short commercial for it with the finale for SGA. Knew they would.Comment

Hi all, I'm new here. And I have been a fan of Stargate since the beginning. And I can't believe I just watched the last episode of Atlantis. :-( very sad moment. And I have been trying to read different threads and comments other people have been making about the new spin off series StarGate: Universe. And I don't know about it yet. With Atlantis I took to it right away. But for some reason I don't know about this new one. I just hope they don't make it a StarGate: 90210?! I'm 36, and the way how the character's sound make's me feel old. Like do they even want us 30 something's watching anymore. I mean their may be 2 character's that sound possibly interesting. But otherwise it will be a we will see? Unless if they change the character's age by the time they cast and who they cast for the show?
And it also sounds like to me another lost in space type of show?! What's the point of having all of these Stargates if they are going to be stuck on this ship again, with no way of getting home? Those are my little quirk's about the new show, so far?!Comment

What, are we STILL on the Stargate 90210 thing?Originally posted by Sa7Fire View Post
The series is sounding more and more promising, with the promise of character-driven stories, diversity in regards to the alien worlds and civilizations, and Robert Carlyle's got me pretty damn stoked.
Also, about the no getting home thing. As the writers and producers have said...Do you really think they haven't thought this through? Gates are okay for travel within a galaxy, but by now, the Destiny is probably tens of thousands of clusters away from the Milky Way. The energy requirements would probably be huge and it may not even work both ways. Maybe you can only get to the ship using the ninth chevron, but not back. I'm sure they'll have a good explanation. And the situation makes for good drama. UnlikeAtlantis, this isn't a huge team of experts, with sufficient supplies. They go through the gate in order to escape an attack and most of them aren't really experts at this sort of thing. Their situation makes for much greater drama than Atlantis.
