New SGU teaser: ‘Survive’

View Comments

• A spinning Stargate...... I can see some jokes about the whole thing spinning. But it is cool looking none-the-less. But why the hell do they have to make it spin? What if you are dialing and your ship takes a jolt? Is there a danger of getting ran over by the thing if it gets knocked loose? But seriously. Looks good... Gate looks cool, and the ship looks cool if not aged a bit.

• Cool gate, but the story and characters just not doing it for me. Darn it, just looks too depressing. Unfortunately these trailers make me less inclined to watch with each one they release. I want to see more Stargate, but not like this.

• The gate looks very cool!
  Rush's dialog is interesting, and I like the comment that the ship is falling apart. Considering its been out there for millions of years, it would be a bit too much if it was still pristine and new-looking (ala Atlantis)

• As others have said, I'm unsure if I like the whole idea of the spinning stargate or not. Seems "odd" to me.

• I am constantly amazed by the resistance to change in fandom (all fandom, not just Stargate, but the example here is obvious). I believe the idea here is "evolve or die." I have heard nothing but complaints from stargate fans (with few moderating voices) for years.
  "Now its crap, Michael Shanks left"
  "Now its crap, They are on Sci Fi Channel"
  "Jonas sucks"
  "Now its crap, Mickael Shanks is back."
  "Bring Back Jonas"
  "Now its crap, they are using all their creative juices on Atlantis."
  "The Ori are not as cool of a villain as the Goa'uld."
  "Bring Back RDA, lose Ben Browder."
  "It's turning into Farscape" (although all of the above are ridiculous, that one pretty much takes the cake. As much as I love Stargate, it isn't half as creative or ground breaking as Farscape {although it is A LOT more consistent})
  "This show hasn't been as good since Season 5" (that one is the gist of the podcast comments).
  "It's too much like Battlestar Galactica" (same comment concerning Farscape, but more so)

  What it boils down to is Stargate (the franchise) has gotten a bit stale over the years (much like Star Trek until the Abrams revival). For a show to survive (like Star Trek on TV no longer does) it must change, evolve, become deeper, more intellectual, less pop-corny. Stargate really started down that road in season 9 (Vala burning alive, for example), and Stargate Universe is likely the next step in that necessary evolution. I am not saying it will be good (it could be the worst SciFi in decades), but we are bickering and commenting negatively on minutia, nothing more.

• I like what we've seen of the show so far. Looking forward to the premiere. I thought that the female character with Scott (Brian J. Smith) was Elyse Levesque (sp?) aka Chloe Armstrong (or has the name changed again?) but I could be wrong.

• Yeah, I can say with 99% certainty that the girl in that scene with Scott is definitely Elyse (Chloe).

• But it is round, is _has_ to spin!

• More gate action! (for the eagle-eyed)

  A guy seen "shooting" through the gate, and just before that what seems like the "first" man arriving on the ship.
