So there you go – they will definitely have “young hip people” on the show by the end of the season. Sounds like the Teyla character re-hashed to me. Is Wil Wheaton not available? Remember, 33 is the new 18.

@Micheal Sacal
Thats the most logical explanation.

She may of been the one that informed the Lucian Alliance of the location of the base in the first place which led to the attack. She could of then went through the Stargate to the Destiny with everyone else.

Comparison to Teyla is poor as I doubt a Lucian Alliance spy would become there ally. She most likely will do sabotage etc.

Who the hell is Rhona Mitra? American actors too expensive for SGU? Hey, love the shuttle that has doors that open and close only from the inside. Sure, that’s plausible. I’ve watched this 4 times now and I still don’t like it. I hope they change my mind.

Look, I also was unimpressed with the SGU premiere, but getting Rhona Mitra is a big thing. She is a VERY legit actress and well known in Europe and England.

Having British actors in US dramas is the new thing, personally i find nothing wrong with that, i’ve got a whole 15 episodes to watch before Rhona turns up. – Also, Lucian Alliance could have got hold of the 9 Chevron adress, and repeated Rush’s experiment on a similarly powerful planet. – I find it hard to believe that she was there from episode 1, surely they would have known she was an outsider.

Wil Wheaton plays a nerdy psychotic alien in season 2…

Forgive me. But I was hoping the Lucian Alliance was dead and over with, or at least the story line back when SG1 went off the air.

This show takes place in a Galaxy far far away. WTF is going through the writers mind about this? Why bring back a annoying Alien collective when they could actually take advantage of this situation and give us new bad guys? hell they don’t even need to look human.

At least this will explain why the aliens in SGU are human. If they went to some random planet and met english speaking humans..I would be a little mad.

Intriguing twist on the “enemy within” idea. If it’s written well: could easily be as good as BSG’s “Blood on the Scales”.

I think the Lucian Alliance makes for the perfect idea for this type of story-telling.

This girl is expensive!!!!

Why they did not spend the same amount of money on SGA?
With the money that they are spending on SGU they could perfectly maintain on the air SGA and SGU.
This confirms more to me that SGA was sacrifice for the new baby!!!

I hope that they keep their word with SG1 and SGA movies.

Lucian Alliance? I didn’t care about them in SG-1, certainly don’t care about them now. I get the whole “human character drama” thing TPTB are going for, but come on. They are BILLIONS of light years from the milky way, unencumbered by any previous stories or continuity issues in regard to alien species they can meet/defend against, and the best the writers can do is the friggin’ lucian alliance?!?!?!

I liked the premiere, I honestly did. And I’m very interested in the seeds that were sewn in the premiere (ancients never went there but the ship was occupied before, who’s responsible for the battle damage the ship’s sustained,where all has it been, did the previous occupants record anything on the kino’s, etc…), but the more I read about what’s coming up, the less I’m interested.

I watch Stargate to see professionals (scientists and military) handling planet/galactic endangering issues…best and brightest doing what they do, being the best and brightest. If I wanted to see people handling situations that they aren’t prepared for, I’d go to the mall and watch all the glass-eyed mouth-breathers try to interact with each other.

Bring on the real aliens, bring on the ancient/alien tech, explore the ship more, and leave the Milky Way baddies in the Milky Way…SG-1 can handle them;) I’m going to give this show a chance, but so far I’m not liking what’s coming up…maybe the execution of it will change my mind…I hope it does, as I want this franchise to continue. I’ll gladly admit that my first impression was wrong if that ends up being the case. I’m rooting for you, SGU, I really am.

So much for new and different. Dragging up the Lucian Alliance and a Larrin wannebe for the fanboys. So a human alien babe is more realistic than a rubber faced alien I guess. Funny how BW keeps bemoaning the state of the economy when anyone asks about SG1/SGA movies but yet no expence is spared when it comes to SGU. Though I’ve never heard of this woman and I live in Europe.

What happened to all the aliens being “alien”?

Instead of dialing the gate, maybe Kiva and her team use the ancient communications device. Kiva could be a spy on Earth and she and her team may use the ancient communications devices to gain control of the ship vicariously.

The Lucian Alliance wasn’t that interesting in SG-1, but maybe this will be their opportunity to stand out.

Go back and watch Air part 3 and in the last 1 minute of the episode you see a space ship detach and leave Destiny while its in mid jump. Its at the 42:10 min mark of the episode. Its more high tech then the Destiny shuttles and does not resemble anything Destiny related. Looks more like the Asgard crafts from SG: Atlantis. If you replay the attack scenes from Air part 1 its death gliders and Ha’Tak ships destroying Icarus base. They are all under control of the Lucian Alliance.
