    Storyline

    • Trivia
      David Blue was not just a casual "Stargate" fan. He had watched every episode of Stargate SG-1 (1997) and Stargate: Atlantis (2004) before pre-production on this show even began. He says that being part of 'Universe' "brings pride in being a part of it but also immense responsibility in every scene'. Brad Wright joked to a audience at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con "With David we got not only an actor, but a technical adviser for our own show!"
    • Goofs
      Hunter Riley cannot have the rank of Sergeant. The Air Force eliminated the rank of Sergeant in 1994. By the number of stripes on his collar insignia, his correct rank should be Senior Airman.
    • Quotes

      Matthew Scott: [looking trough binoculars] Check it out!

      Dr. Nicholas Rush: [takes binoculars] What is it?

      Matthew Scott: It's some kind of an animal.

      Master Sgt. Ronald Greer: [with an enthusiastic voice] Is it something we can barbecue?

    Outlandish .... truly miserable
    Well, where to begin? Oh I know. A message to the fan-boys: SGU is not Stargate, and that's why we complain about it.

    SGU is not an evolution of the franchise, it is a slap in the face to those following the franchise over the course of 15 seasons.

    Thi is, without a doubt, the worst of all Stargate shows. The visual effects, although touted as better than sliced bread, and wayyy more expensive than the previous series fx, fails to prove itself to be any better. The music, and the montages, are simple emo pop/rock and lacks the grandiose feel of the classical music in the previous series. The camera work is amateurish, following the flavour of the month "shaky cam" and low budget kino-vision. Character development is non-existent. We are constantly bombarded with characters's whining, being jealous, flying off the handle. There's nothing to like about the characters, and I'm afraid the acting, governed and limited by the script, fails to elevate SGU beyond the teen drama that it truly is.

    For anyone wanting a dark, shaky camera work, unimaginative scripts, no action, no fun, no science, no aliens, no real tension .. If all you're looking for is same-old-same-old Lost meets BSG meets 90210 with pop music montages, and jealous crying teenagers, but without the quality drama writing experience, then SGU is for you.

    SGU is the most forgettable, un-compelling badly written teen soap masquerading as a Stargate franchise.

    It does not belong on TV, nor does it belong in the premium section of DVD stores. It belongs in the dustbin of history, and the writers owe true Stargate fans, an apology.

    FAQ14

    • Why does Colonel Young appear as two different people?/ How does he get to Earth?
    • Why don't they use the communications stones to get someone like Jennifer Keller, Carson Beckett, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, Rodney McKay, and/or Radek Zelenka to help?
    • Do I need to watch the other Stargate shows to understand Stargate Universe?
