What did you think about the Stargate Universe preview? - VIDEO

Not interested. The hype on this thing is 'it's darker' but it'll have the trademark humor. It'll stand alone but it'll have contact with Earth via alien technology. It'll be more serialized and more character based but the aliens won't be human. They'll be more Everyman characters but one is a senator's daughter, one is a genius computer hacker etc. In other words the show is trying to be all things to all demographics and that sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. It's time to move on.

I don't see the crossover. What they did with SG1 to SGA was great. where they took 2 seasons to transition over. Of course it ment some entangled plot, but for any fan, it wasn't too hard to fallow. The fact that they used some characters from SG1 (Mcay and Whier both guest stared) ment that you had an idea of what to expect. The only thing that hints of SGU is that the Odessey is on a secret mission.

Personally, I'm not too thrilled about a darker tone. I was always intrested in BSG, but after the first season, I lost intrest. I have watched two or three episodes scince then, but just saw no end.

I think that if SGU is darker, it will lose the fans of SG1 and SGU that watched becaues they knew that each season would end in a dire circumstance, but cap with a happy conclusion at the start of the next.

To end, This is a sequel to the Stargate series, not BSG, and I hope the directors and writers keep that in mind.

What i liked about Atlantis, it isn't dark like BSG. and the humor is one the best reason to watch. everybody can watch SG-1 ,and SGA because even if you are not a scifi fan can watch it.

i. but they are going to lose that with Universe. is only going to atract pure scifi fans. where sg atract all demographics.

you can easily relate to SG-1 and SGA character,, one is an Historian, a sciencetist, soldier.

All of TPTB of SG1 and SGA are involved with SGU. Come on... you'll get your humor. Just not a joke a min. Cameron Mitchell.

It reminds me of gritty SGA. Which is never a bad thing.

And those of you that are crying in your milk about Atlantis... Listen, if everyone was watching it, then there would have been a Season 6.

Have a little faith in the franchise. I am sure we are in for one helluva ride.

The Promo Video was shot mostly in the DARK like BSG and gave no real hint of the real "color" for this program. The only aspect of BSG I hated was it was shotr w/o lighting so much and the audio jumped from too loud to too quiet at times. I hope that this new series develops it's own style.

Wow that was a commercial?

Looks absolutely boring.

Regardless of the amateur, petty critics here EVERYONE will watch Stargate: Universe on SciFi because it builds on the second most successful sci-fi space-based tv franchise ever! It will be different, it will be talked about, and it will be watched -- by -- everyone.

I thought the preview trailer was good, but I have no intention of watching Universe after how the prior show, Atlantis was cancelled. I have no desire to support this franchise after the way they killed the show I love.
So even if it is a show I might otherwise have liked, I won't be watching.

I never judge a show before I see a few episodes, so I'll keep an open mind and tune in.

Thank God Lou Diamond Phillips joined the cast. Someone familiar!

I'm still saying "Who?" to Robert Carlyle. Everyone else I don't recognize. I know, Trainspotting... Not my kind of movie. I like sci-fi. Or SyFy. Whatever...

I don't mind that it's dark... I DON'T want to reminded what a screwup the last two years of Stargate SG-1 was, I was never into SG:A. Too many cast changes, too many crossover characters, way too much Rodney McCay.
