Joseph Mallozzi’s blog now at SciFi.com

Consulting producer Joseph Mallozzi’s blog can now be found at the SCI FI Channel Web site! What does this mean for you, the fan looking for Stargate Universe info? The network’s official site has begun syndicating Stargate-related posts from his blog.
Well, as Mallozzi says, “All those behind-the-scenes and on-set pics and videos are being fast-tracked through the approval process and, as a result, you’ll soon be treated to sneak peeks of the Destiny set, the shuttle in Stage 2, and footage of actor Brian J. Smith changing his shoes between set-ups.”
To prove his point, Joe included two brand new set photos in today’s blog post: one of actor Justin Louis (”Colonel Everett Young”) being directed by Peter DeLuise on the Destiny set, and a behind-the-scenes photo of actor Michael Shanks (”Daniel Jackson“) on set.
Regular readers of Joe’s blog know he had been hoping to post SGU set photos for some time now, but the process of approval from the higher-ups at SCI FI and MGM has indeed been lengthy. On April 28th, SCI FI’s Craig Engler broke the news on Twitter that Joe’s blog would be “officialized,” so Joe will “be able to post more content (e.g. More photos!).”
Mallozzi explains to his readers that only those entries deemed “Stargate-related” will show up on SciFi.com; however, deciding what is and isn’t Stargate-related will no doubt be a challenge for Mallozzi.
You can now find Joe Mallozzi’s blog at SciFi.com’s Universe site under their Creator Blog link, as well as the usual place: JosephMallozzi.WordPress.com.
Don’t forget to bookmark GateWorld’s SGU Launch Center for all the latest Stargate Universe news, including those upcoming set pictures!

gavatarman | April 30 @ 8:39 pm“OH PLEASE, as a result, you’ll soon be treated to sneak peeks of the Destiny set, the shuttle in Stage 2, and footage of actor Brian J. Smith changing his shoes between set-ups.”PATHETIC!!!
Thank god I’m too old for this crap!!!BRING BACK ATLANTIS, for the grown ups please.
(B)SG U 901020!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Atlantis Rocks | May 5 @ 2:29 pmI’m very excited at the idea of seeing Brian J. Smith changing his shoes between set-ups!I’ve already copy the 2 pictures available on Joseph Mallozzi’s blog of April 28, blogs that I’ve started reading since May 09.
Stew14 | May 7 @ 5:56 pmCalm down! ( smiling face) A. Rocks…and have a cup of Nescafé on me!
PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH, IM 44 NOT 3!!!! SEEING SOMEONE CHANGE THEIR BLOODY SHOES DOES NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST APPEAL. O M G !!!!!!!!! Oh an when I was 3 it wouldn’t have either.
An another thing WHO THE HELL IS B J SMITH, well known I think not!!! At least where I come from, never seen him in anything!!!!! Not saying he’ bad actor just never seen him. An never will as he is in (B)SG U all I know for sure that Atlantis was axed for this and IT WILL NEVER GET MY VIEWING. I personally hope it sinks like the Titanic, this is not an reflection the actors or the crew, just on the very rude and arrogant Cooper/Wright.
An thanks BUT I DON’T DRINK COFFEE!!!!!!! And NO I DON’T WANT TO CALM DOWN THANKS. I will NEVER forgive Cooper/Wright & co for the utter contempt they have shown SGA fans, sorry BUT I’M VERY VERY VERY ANGRY AND GETTING MORE ANNOYED BY THE MINUTE.
Atlantis was cancelled for this moronic, pathetic, drivel that is Babygate Universe!!!!!!
The gate dies with SGA R I P Stargate.
Atlantis Rocks | May 10 @ 5:27 amOh Boy! let me be more clear since you seem to be too angry to hear things right.
(personnally, if you can write these comments on a blog, …anger management classes might be something to consider!!!???)
I’m going to break this down further to allow you to understand what I meant in my e-mail.
Before that, I’d like to say that I am very sorry that Atlantis was cancelled and that it pissed you off. Personnally, I was more a fan of SG-1 because R.D. Anderson was in it.
Now lets get back to the subject in question.
I think (and this is my opinion) that what Joseph Mallozzi meant by his comment about Brian J. Smith shoes, is that we could expect some exclusive pictures of the actors on the set. It was a kind of figure of speach.
I don’t think you attacking actors, producers,… etc. on this blog is going to bring Atlantis back. Usually, when a show is cancelled, its because the ratings are bad .no matter what the reason is, the show is over !
This being said, I am very excited at the idea of seing some of the actors that have been casted for SGU, including B.J. Smith, that, by the way I’ve seen anywhere either.
You are probably going to swear me out and say speak for yourself, but that ok.
If you want to live life being a hater, fine!
Now about the coffee comment, it refers to the Nescafe commercial, I don’t know if you’ve seen it. You offer a cup of coffee to someone who has gotten out of bed on the wrong foot! Meaning , by writing these kind of comments on a blog, your 44 year old self is acting like a 3 year old child!!!!
Stew14 | May 12 @ 3:23 pmI took the “pictures of Brian tying his shoes” as a joke, and I think that’s how it was intended. Stargate fans tend to be rabid consumers of the minutiae of life on set, and I took Joe’s comment as tongue-in-cheek to that effect. He posts pics of Second Grips standing around, and many readers eat it up. :)
Darren Sumner | May 12 @ 7:53 pmStew14, thank you for your comments.
first of all not attacking the actors see my comment ” I personally hope it sinks like the Titanic, this is not an reflection the actors or the crew”
Though I have to say NONE of the actors appeal or their charators bio’s. Personal never cared for Robert Carlyle and LDP, an they are the only 2 actors I have ever seen or heard off but that is just my PO.
2nd, I have NO idea about the comment of giving someone a coffee when they get up???? I live in the UK an NO haven’t seen the ad your referring to.
3)NO I’m not gonna swear at you, your entitled to your opinion, as am I.
4)Atlantis was NOT axed for the ratings they were VERY good and getting better.
5) The only reasons I have anger management issues as you put, is THE SIMPLE FACT THAT TPTB, did not give SGA fans a choice its bye bye SGA HERES SGU lump an Like it, together with several rude and insulting remarks towards us!!!!!
6) Your entitled to think I’m being 3 an throwing my dummy out the pram, coz I am, BUT then I’m angry with the TPTB, an SORRY Darren, if this was a joke from Joe, sorry didn’t find it funny just plain stupid. An I have to add I’m not the only one, to see it as pathetic. But that’s just gonna come down to a personal POV again.
For me IMHO SGA far surpassed SG1, though I loved SG1 an RDA.
Your quite right it is my choice to “If you want to live life being a hater, fine!” an where (B)SG U is concerned that’s actually what I shall continue to do. I DONT CARE ABOUT SGU not watching it, didnt like BSG, dont do the dark edger crap ect…, I CARE THAT SGA WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF SGU.
For me the gate dies with SGA/SG1, I keep hoping to read some good news where it comes to SGA hence reading the blogs, interviews ect… BUT SADLY NO!!!!
Atlantis Rocks | May 13 @ 4:16 amwow!!! I’m speachless…
Stew14 | May 13 @ 5:24 pmI’m pretty much in agreement here with Atlantis Rocks, I saw the blog and JUST thought OMG now what!!!!!!.
This whole debate is just stupid really sorry that’s IMHO, everyone sees something differently especially wht is and what’s not funny or tongue in cheek. I think its just a stupid comment and not very funny, but then I’m Save SGA campaigner so maybe I‘m bias. Atlantis Rocks your points 1, 4 & 5 TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU an as for throwing your dummy out the pram, ” way to go” done it a fair few times my self lately over the axing of SGA an time isn’t healing the wound (sarcastic LOL). I know how angry it makes you feel. Like you SGU NOT INTERESTED, NOT WATCHING. reading all this stuff just to find out some info on SGA projects, does in its self get depressing LOL.
Chucknician | May 14 @ 5:57 amLOL, LOL, LOL now I know I’m living in the twilight zone. Oh dear me, dont know much about this Joe M bloke, never read his blog, going by the above snippit not gonna bother LOL. Using twitter for god sake and shoe changing LOL LOL.
Sorry but Twitter is just about as moronic as face book and all that other social networking crap. PICK UP THE PHONE AND TAlK TO YOUR MATES!!!!
Well if? the shoe changing remark is a joke (rolls around on floor laughing “NOT”) its just stupid, an very very childish. The worlds gone mad, stark staring mad.
But then we have no more Atlantis and its been replaced by crappy SGU, so I guess it must have!
Joycelm2 | May 16 @ 1:13 pmGrown adults having a temper tantrum over a television series.
Stew14 | May 18 @ 11:59 pmI’m not saying by that, that it was not a good one. what I’m saying, is that it’s not normal to see rational adults getting that upset about the cancellation of a TV series as if they had lost their most precious possession (like their life)???!!!
People dragging endlessly a “shoe picture comment” because they have nothing smarter to say…
(…so much for trying not to get involved any further in a sterile conversation…)
Stew 14, first of all I am not saying that maybe some people have had a tendency to over react, but people are very angry and upset by the axing of the show, but I think its more to do with the WAY its been axed and there have been some very horrible remarks and comments made by certain people which have alienated a great many of us, an I do include myself in that. I do not think people are trying it as you put acquainting it ” to like losing their life” in importance. I honestly think that’s a little bit of a silly comparison sorry, they are just angry people that know what’s truly important in life, but it does sometimes feel like the little person has no say. And there are many other people saying you must give SGU a chance etc.. please note I am not including you in that generalisation, but I have read a few comments that have had a tendency to go down that line.
I have to say though that the comments concerning the shoe changing does appear to be very stupid, as a grown up or adult I guess humour is subjective, what one finds funny someone else does not, that will not change any time soon. The whole issue that a lot people are upset does stem from comments like trying to attract a younger audience, demographics of people over 49 not really needed, I am in the group an it is not nice to hear, this is in its self ageist, but that’s a whole other issue. The thing is if Mr Cooper & Wright and others in a senior positions insist on making quite off hand an glib remarks then Mr Mallozzi enthuses about shoe changing, well on the surface of it does, well shove it in peoples faces that this new show “really” is aimed at a younger audience much younger. This may not have been his intention, I am not saying it was at all, but on reflection it can be interpreted that way. As the recent flipping the coin debate “joke” or “insulting” again humour is subjective. I come from the “old school” as it were and I would have hoped that the people in the know, would maybe think a little bit more about the whole picture and not just focus on a section of the issue, I guess what I mean is just a little bit of tact and diplomacy always goes a long way.
Dumbledore | May 19 @ 9:20 amHello Dumbledore,
Why I am being so insistent?
simply because I don’t think its right to condemn a show that hasn’t even started .
I believe that if you’re truly a Stargate fan, no matter what it’s called, whether it is SG-1, Atlantis, Universe, you should still be a fan!!! If that’s not the case, you were not a true fan in the first place!!
Star Trek has many different series, why can’t the Stargate franchise do the same???
I thought what people liked about the Stargate franchise what the whole concept surrounding the gates… What’s wrong with exploring different avenues a of concept!!!
You find silly my comparison about some people losing their most precious possessions. Hum! Not so sure about that. I’m not going to quote some of the comments made above on that particular idea , but if you take the time to re-read them, some of them sound pretty desperate.
Now another thing that makes me upset about this particular blog discussion, is all the name calling, insulting comments and negative propaganda (yes it’s a pleonasm!) made in some of the blog entries above. It’s so easy and coward to insult someone that’s not in front of you! (Using a fictional name not to be recognized)
I’d like to remind you some of these comments made above (and they are not all from Atlantis Rocks, but a lot come from him since he started this nasty discussion)
1. “(…) SEEING SOMEONE CHANGE THEIR BLOODY SHOES DOES NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST APPEAL. O M G !!!!!!!!!”.
Whether this comment was a joke or not, when you’re a fan of an actor, you don’t necessarily see this as pathetic.
2. “WHO THE HELL IS B J SMITH, well known I think not!!! At least where I come from, never seen him in anything!!!!! Not saying he’ bad actor just never seen him. An never will as he is in (B)SG U”.
If Starkate Rocks is from the UK, its possible that he’s never heard of this actor. Not all actors are known like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise , that doesn’t mean that they are not well know in their country of origin or residence. The only thing that could be concluded about this actor, is that he might not be from the UK.
3. “just on the very rude and arrogant Cooper/Wright. (…)Atlantis was cancelled for this moronic, pathetic, drivel that is Babygate Universe!!!!!! “
I don’t know Cooper and Wright personally so I can’t conclude on the type of people they are. The only thing I can say is that Stargate Rocks comment is extremely arrogant and he sounds like an arrogant person. Who does he think he his!!!!
4. “… SORRY Darren, if this was a joke from Joe, sorry didn’t find it funny just plain stupid. An I have to add I’m not the only one, to see it as pathetic.”
Again, I think Stargate Rocks is being extremely arrogant. Not only is he trying to undermine one of the consulting producers by questioning his intelligence, but he’s also doing an EXTREMELY NEGATIVE propaganda about a show that has not even started by putting idea in people’s head about the type of people working on this show.
He also states, in order to give himself more credibility, that he’s not the only one to see it as pathetic. He writes this in his 3rd entry as a fact. Strange to see that before that entry, no one had posted any comment supporting that point made by him… and of course, what a surprise (!), right after that entry other people started embracing that comment in their blog.
Now by saying that I think he is doing a negative propaganda, it might sound like if I’m jumping to conclusions but when I read comments made by Chucknician that says the following: “ Oh dear me, dont know much about this Joe M bloke, never read his blog, going by the above snippit not gonna bother LOL.”
Or by Joyceml2 “ Using twitter for god sake and shoe changing LOL LOL. Sorry but Twitter is just about as moronic as face book and all that other social networking crap. PICK UP THE PHONE AND TAlK TO YOUR MATES!!!! Well if? the shoe changing remark is a joke (rolls around on floor laughing “NOT”) its just stupid, an very very childish. The worlds gone mad, stark staring mad ”
I KNOW WHAT I’M REFFERING TO! Now If Joyceml2 had spent a little of her time reading JM’s blog, she would have realized that he doesn’t have a good opinion of Tweeter either and she would understand better why he has opened a Tweeter account. It’s so easy to judge people based on someone else’s negative comments.
And I COULD GO ON FOR A WHILE!!!!!
5. Now I’m reading comments saying:
Stew14 | May 20 @ 1:35 am“its more to do with the WAY its been axed and there have been some very horrible remarks and comments made by certain people which have alienated a great many of us, an I do include myself in that.” Or
“And NO I DON’T WANT TO CALM DOWN THANKS. I will NEVER forgive Cooper/Wright & co for the utter contempt they have shown SGA fans, sorry BUT I’M VERY VERY VERY ANGRY AND GETTING MORE ANNOYED BY THE MINUTE.”
I’d like to point out that these comments are AGAIN encouraging propaganda and are subjective accusations. It’s talking about something, without saying what it is. It sounds more like people trying to ruin purposely someone’s reputation.
Stew 14, I am trying to understand your point of view, I really I am. I do agree that there are some very negative and overly emotional responses above. But some of your points I just do not agree with.
Firstly, I have enjoyed the Stargate film, not overly loved but liked it, it was ok, this did not make me an automatic fan of the SG1. Infact I didn’t even watch the first series, I only started to watch on the second time around, an to be fair it took a while to get into it. Yes I did eventually become a fan of the show not the franchise. But that said when SGA started again it was not an automatic right of passage to watch SGA. For me I did watch the show and it far surpassed SG1, that’s in my personal opinion.
You refer to the Star Treks, well I have been a fan since the original show, an consider myself a trekie, BUT I did not like TNG at all an did not watch, but I loved DS9, the same goes for Voyager, loved it not so hot on Enterprise. But again once watching repeats have NOW found I like these very much. So again just because I was Trek fan did not mean that I was going to just watch because I liked the original, but this does not make me any less a Trek fan, the same is with the films some I loved some, I liked some, some I loathed and some I did not even bother to watch.
The point being, as with Stargate, yes liked the film, SG1 ok, SGA great, Ark of Truth horrible, Continuum ok. I don’t feel drawn at the moment based on the last two movies to buy the 3rd SG1movie. I understand that you are a fan of the “franchise” which is fine, BUT I am not an perpahaps the people above are not, I do not really know, I only very recently have even known about Gate World or even forums, I have for the most part sat in a closed, maybe you can call it blinked world which was not internet friendly hence I think blogs and twitter are sorry very silly but I am old “ ha ha“. So the “franchise” as such means very little to me personally. I am only now here because I wanted to find out more about SGA the movies ect.. and the hope that it may come back in series form, an to have a look at the concept of SGU, actors, trailers, bios’ even some of the spoilers. And based on that information, I really am not interested. I am afraid I am too old in the tooth now to be bothered to watch sometime that does not appeal, just on the basis that I liked the show before. But I am still a fan of SGA, that does not diminish. I do not know how else to explain it clearer than that sorry . You see I “liked the format of SGA“, the cast, I “VERY MUCH” liked characters of Weir, Rodney and Sheppard and for the most the story telling. SGU with its more realistic interpretation of characters is not a format I like to watch, maybe its shallow but the grittier the drama or darker is not what I want from a science fiction programme I watch other types of shows for that like CSI‘s Yes the CSI I watch are sometimes dark but they reflect the here an now and the terrible things we do to each other, even with these sometimes there episodes to close to home, I can not watch.
I personally have no problem with there being a many spins of as you like, just do not kill SGA to make way for those spin offs, it is the attitude that we all want SGU and I think the above comments are more re this, mayne not well versed but I at least understand where they are coming from. I liked Buffy very very much, and when we got Angel, I was really please because I knew the characters and now had two shows to watch. The same is for the CSI, liked Vegas, now have Miami (though this is my least favourite) and NY. I often choose not to watch Miami not because its bad but I’m not that struck on David Crusoe.
With regards to SGU, if something does not grab your interest, it doesn’t grab your interest sorry, time is precious very precious, to precious to waste. Yes there is a lot of negative feelings out there but we live in a democracy therefore EVER one is entitled to how they feel or want to voice that feeling, negative and positive. I am not sure I agree with the whole shoe thing not being pathetic, maybe that’s not such a good choice of word to use but again some would see it like that and this is someone opinion not necessary a direct slur on the persons intelligence.
Dumbledore | May 20 @ 6:34 amStew14
“lol” I’m a women not a man, and I do live in the UK born & bred.
If you want to interpret me as you have done “so be it”, suffice to say your version “lol” of what I what I said means is totally inaccurate, but your entitled 2 your opinion & as am I to mine.
An maybe if you look outside this comments board you would actually see that there are a lot of other people who see it in a very similar style we can’t all be wrong, I think you might find the pages an pages of comments on the sci fi channels(US)left after people viewed 1 or more of the 3 trailers quite interesting or not as the case my be. I stand by MY comments as these are turely IMHO. I can’t an won’t talk for the others, as that is there POV’s.

Atlantis Rocks | May 20 @ 7:04 amEven in a democracy, there are ways to express your opinion when you don’t aggree or are not in favor of something. There is a right way and a wrong way to do and say things. If we were allowed to do anything we wanted, there would not be a need for a court system.
Stew14 | May 21 @ 1:58 pmAs for you Atlantis Rocks, your last entry confirmed further my opinion of you and don’t think by saying that you are a women, that I’m going to have a better opinion of you.
