You should make your own, it is quite fun!
I had seen a few of RC movies and I recognized him when the promos for SGU started coming out but I couldn't remember from whatsigpicSig by Everlovin My YT|My other vid site|My LJ|My Photobucket|My ImageShack|"Stargate is life, Sam and Jack are happiness, Shippers are almighty" by hlndncr

Yeah, it was kinda that way for me. Except I didn't get into SGU until about the time "Life" aired, I'd been resisting it. After I saw RC's face, I was like "I know that name," and looked him up and had one of those "...Oh!" moments. I think the fact that he's a well known British actor helped pull me in, because I watch mostly British tv shows (Doctor Who, Torchwood, Robin Hood) nowadays.

So you were a big fan of his from the start?
I have to say, I might watch SGU if Rush were to get killed or leave the show in some other way NOW, but not likely. I know for sure that if I didn't have such a personal interest in Rush, I probably wouldn't have watched the show from the start. Which would have been a shame, because it's a good show on its own merits.

I would probably stop watching if Rush wasn't in it, I tend to leave series after a main character (or one of my favorite characters) leaves (Just to name a few: CSI, NCIS, and Bones)sigpicSig by Everlovin My YT|My other vid site|My LJ|My Photobucket|My ImageShack|"Stargate is life, Sam and Jack are happiness, Shippers are almighty" by hlndncr

John Simm, mmmm. Did you see State of Play?
I agree. Class of 76 was creepy and intriguing and the character of Tom Monroe was really interesting; looked like there would have been some neat backstory with him. RC does play the haunted character well. Then he doesn't do anything badly.

I've already said if Rush/Carlyle weren't it in, I'd probably not continue watching. I stopped watching the police drama The Bill after my favourite characters left. Just wasn't the same. I do like a lot of the SGU cast, particularly Louis Ferreira, but for me, Rush is central to the dynamic.
I like David Blue quite a bit, and Louis. But yeah, I can't imagine the show being the same without Rush. It seems to be his story more than anyone else's. I mean, after all, he's the only one who really wants to be there, who is fulfilling his destiny and knows it. Every other character is sort of caught up in that.

Eli and Young are my favorites after Rush. I probably would still stop watching if Eli and/or Young weren't in SGU.
On the other hand, I would throw a party if Scott weren't in SGUsigpicSig by Everlovin My YT|My other vid site|My LJ|My Photobucket|My ImageShack|"Stargate is life, Sam and Jack are happiness, Shippers are almighty" by hlndncr

Originally posted by Daro View PostI think I'd like to see Hamish McBeth. I have no idea what it is about or anything, but it is British tv with RC, so how can it be bad? I also have heard a lot of good things about Trainspotting, but it's one of many films I haven't gotten around to seeing. I sorta am a late bloomer when it comes to tv and movies, I always read more as a kid. That and when I was growing up in rural Arkansas, we had a grand total of four channels. The best you could hope for was Star Trek TNG.

I've been upset with Eli too, mostly because he seems to lack principals. I mean, he objects when Rush lies, but when Young lies and spies on people, he doesn't seem to give it any pause. I wonder how much of that is looking up to Young as a father figure of sorts, and how much is concern that, if he does not obey the person SGC has in command, he may not have a job when and if he gets back to Earth, which would mean his mother no longer gets help for her HIV. I'd like to see Eli and Rush be a team again, because right now Eli just seems to be a spy/documentary film maker. Rush doesn't seem to be trying to win him back over to his side very hard, but I'm sure he doesn't trust Eli anymore either. I certainly wouldn't.

Actually, I am liking Eli more because he seems to be separating himself (gradually) from both Young and Rush, I really just want Eli to stand on his on two feetsigpicSig by Everlovin My YT|My other vid site|My LJ|My Photobucket|My ImageShack|"Stargate is life, Sam and Jack are happiness, Shippers are almighty" by hlndncr
