Beware of minor SPOILERS for the premiere of Stargate Universe in the clip and report below.
The first look at SCI FI Channel‘s new fall series Stargate Universe has arrived! The 30-second preview aired tonight on the cable network, alongside the 2-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica.
Check it out below (the Full Screen option is near the bottom right corner), and come back soon for screen caps and a higher quality version of the video. You can also watch it at SciFi.com.
In this clip, titled “Frantic,” a team of Earth scientists and military personnel are in the middle of an emergency evacuation to the uninhabited Ancient ship Destiny.
Nearly every main character can be spotted in the quick-cut video. Robert Carlyle’s Dr. Nicholas Rush is front-and-center, but also watch for clear shots of Chloe Armstrong (Elyse Levesque), Matthew Scott (Brian J. Smith), Eli Wallace (David Blue), Everett Young (Justin Louis), Tamara Johansen (Alaina Huffman), and Colonel Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips).
With the tagline “The only mission is survival,” the clip reveals the dark and dangerous tone of the series — a dramatic (pun intended) departure from Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. The challenge for SGU will be to do that while maintaining familiar connections to the established mythology of the shows that have preceded it.
Find out more about the show in GateWorld’s exclusive SGU Launch Center! We have details on the first 10 episodes of Season One, character breakdowns, an interview with actor Brian J. Smith, the first cast photo, and more.
Stargate Universe premieres this fall on SCI FI Channel in the United States.

hmmm seems like it might me ok
a bit vague, but I expected that
i like this BSG2
One of the reasons I will like this show is because of its "What do we do next?" situations that it will put the characters through. SG-1 and SGA were based on pre-planning and preparation to start their various adventures. The people of SGU aren't prepared. Every step they take can lessen or grow their chance of survival. This will create a palpable tension. Even this short trailer makes it feel more "real world" to me than the other Stargate shows.
I really hate to say it, but at a first glance this looks like a cheap, typical SciFi thriller. Maybe it was how it was edited or something. I'll still give the pilot eps a chance.
Can't wait!
Is it me or is their gate smaller than average gates? It feels like there's 8 chevrons instead of 9. Does anyone have a better image of the new gate?
it looks like 9 to me, with 3 on each side + 1 on the top and 2 on the {B}
As for the trailer.. all i can say is O.M.F.G can't wait for Stargate Universe :)
Thanks Gateworld your the best
This will be EPIC. Can't wait for the return of Stargate!
I don't think anything can top the BSG finale though. The best anything I've ever seen. Period.
