  • That’s great and all…but is it just me or does it look a bit blurry?

    Still though, looking good. Nice to see the cast in their first photo. I wonder since Ming-Na and LDP are pictured with the cast will signalify they are part of the cast?

    Just a guess, but maybe?

  • And when I say “part of the cast”, I mean the main cast. ;)

  • Not very revealing in any sense but then again why would it be. Comments @ the EW site seem to be concerned about the quality of this show… I get the chance this show won’t have much time to find it’s legs – if it doesn’t come out swinging with high-quality episodes from the start fans are going to do what they do best and complain which will scare of potential casual fans which sci-fi, or rather syfy :-p, wants for their ratings.

  • I have always been a fan of Robert Carlyle’s movies and i’m glad to see him coming on.

  • Well some people on EW site do not seem to be willing to give it a chance. Some of the commits is just dismissing the show altoteather. And it a shame still 90210 comment still flying around considering the story details we seen so far.
    One thing I will is the photo is pretty poor.

  • Good pic, but SO many people! I’m really not looking forward to a big cast. SGA had a big “main cast”, and it always seemed like one or two characters always got left out.

    I liked SG-1, four main characters (Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal’c), and two main recurring characters (Hammond, Janet). I think it gave the show a much more family aspect, since the characters were so close to each other.

    I know that this is what we’re getting with SGU, but it’s JMHO.

  • 9. pm Eastern/pacific time?!? awwww
    cu on saturday GMT… :(
    But I like the actors. They kinda seem to fit together…
    Even if it’s just a 30min. trailer. It’s defenitly WORTH WAITING AND WATCHING!!!

  • Wow. I never realized until now how very white Stargate is. So very, very white.

  • @fedosu:

    I hope that isn’t a racist remark…We’ve been through that many times and have disproved it.

  • IMO six out of nine white faces isn’t terribly bad for television today. It improves when you stop thinking about skin color and start thinking about actual nationality. These nine people represent seven countries of origin.

  • Great cast!!!! Cool photo!!!! Looking forward to seeing the first photos of these people in their costumes!!!! :D :D :D

    Roll on tonight’s preview after BSG!!!!

  • The cast looks go! Thank god it wasn’t Photoshoped like all of the previous cast photos from the previous two series.

  • Well, now that ppl have seen the promo. And its FAR from 90210, I hope they will finally shut up about it.

  • Oh my, none of these people really seem to have, “it”. Which one is supposed to really grab me? Think about it. Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Corin Nemic, all HOT. Joe, Hot…. This bunch just NOT……

  • Want “hot?” Go turn on One Life to Live. SGU, bring on the new sci-fi adventure.

  • I kinda echo Orion’s concern; ever since I heard the announcement of Lou Diamond Phillips, I immediately got a “Colonel Marshall Sumner” vibe from him. Siiigh.

  • ha ha ha ha..love the first comment..Stargate 90210! lol so true..so true..Stargate Days of our lives. lol

  • Here’s what they’re thinking….

    Ming-Na: “Am I out of frame yet? Cause, I’m not sure if I want to be on record that I’m down with doing this whole Stargate thing.”

    Justin Louis: “I can be a happy soldier!”

    Jamil Walker Smith: “I just hope I break Rainbow’s episode appearance record”

    Brian J Smith: “(smirk) Looks like while my character gets the alien hotties I’ll be gettin’ all the “Will you sign my boobs?” at ComicCon”

    Lou Diamond: “Hurry up and kill me off already.”

    Alaina Huffman: “Oh god, he’s touching me again”

    David Blue: “I wonder if my parents will let me go drinking with the cast…”

    Elyse Levesque: ” …. ”

    Robert Carlyle: “Has it been 28 weeks yet?”

  • By just looking at the cast photo I got a really bad feeling about this. I guess we’ll just have to toss it into the water and see if it floats. :o)

  • Stargate is white????
    (Teal’c – SG1), (Ford – SGA).

    What is the average age to be a real Sgt. ?.
    And David Blue is way too young looking, so not credible.

    Puddlesplasher – I think MingNa was already on SG1 season 9. Your think bubbles are cool.

    guys – I think your auto spellchecker isn’t working.

    ref:
    signalify – not a real word.
    altogether
    comments
    definitely. (No insult intended)

    Good one ‘AsFarAsLarry’ a sending up of how young the casts are getting, incredible(SG1 200)

    Ref:….Simpsons (Admiral Baby)lol!!!!

    People keep mentioning 90210 because it actually cements the point that the cast ARE really young and therefore somewhat unrealistic.
    that’s the point!!!

  • Danybrean – UNREALISTIC? Yeah and i giant round circle really travels the U.S Military to different plants and galaxys! LOL
