Showing off the vast fabric of the Stargate universe, cast members from both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis will make appearances in the second season of SGU.
That’s the word from our friends at SCI FI PI, the Web site for Australia’s SCI FI broadcast network, which was in Vancouver last week for an international press junket on the show’s set. A full interview with executive producer Brad Wright (to whom the news is attributed) is forthcoming.
No word yet on just who will appear on the show, and how big the guest roles will be.
The first season of Stargate Universe included numerous appearances from SG-1‘s Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O’Neill), Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson), and Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) — some bigger than others.
Who else from the SG-1 cast would you like to see on Destiny? And who are your top picks from Atlantis? Do you want characters to appear on Earth, or grab a communication stone and actually visit Destiny itself?

McKay is the obvious choice, as well as Carter, at least to visit the ship itself. To support or consult from Earth/Atlantis, almost anyone is game.
If they intend to use an Atlantis characters for any lengthy roles it will be interesting to see how they incorporate the character because the writing styles between those SGA and SGU in particular are almost complete polar opposite. SG1 towards the end definitely gravitated toward that atlantis style show but in earlier seasons of SG1 occasionally shot more towards that SGU drama style of writing. Which I think opened the door more for a SG1 characters to guest star rather than SGA characters.
I'd love to see some scenes between Dr.Rush and McKay or for them to get both Zelenka and McKay onboard Destiny for a consult. I love it when those two bicker and they make the most sense to me.
Christopher Judge!

While I do like to see the SG1 and SGA cast members. I'd like it to be more than just a few second or one minute cameo. Can we have some plots where the guest stars actually are more involved with the plot? Poll?
Mckay, daniel, carter and o'neill are really the only ones that could realistically fit into the story. I am sure they could figure something out, like when they "midaway" unexpected to have tealc but it definately worked. Mckay would definitely be my top choice but seems like it would be difficult to add that character to the show. I agree the writing styles are just too different. Unless they somehow get Mckay on the show full time. that would great. Daniel seems liek the most logical if they were going to add someone from other series for an extended period of time. I always thought Daniel was an ideal character to bring to atlantis especially after now that the Ori are gone. I also thought daniel would be the best choice for someone to run the SGC. Who knows, anyone would work well
I'd like to see O'Neill, Carter, and Jackson again as well as maybe Dr Lee, Walter, McKay, Zelenka, Woolsey. As much as I like Teal'c and Ronan I don't see how you could fit them in for a guest star role in this show. You know who we need to do a guest role.....Siler!!
The one that is no choice is O'neill, since they visit him here and there for reports and stuff.
Teal'c, Ronan, Cameron and Sheppard, don't really belong there unless there is some kind of battle.
Carter and McKay, would be ok, i guess since they are smart people.
Daniel, would just have a geek moment and would be hilarious and funny to watch :P.
Beckett or Jennifer, would be nice too have on board since they are doctors.
But Vala, Landry, Woolsey or Teyla, i would avoid, since they really don't have much to give to SGU.
Great news! From SG-1 I'd like to see the original team of Jack, Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c appear!
From Atlantis I'd like to see John, Ronon, and Woolsey. I don't like the character but it makes sense for McKay to appear too.
i would love to see both Daniel Jackson and Rodney McKay use the communication stones to actually get on the ship. i could see trading a couple of the civilians with john sheppard and ronan or teal'c during the battles
