This is a 5 minute peak at the pilot for stargate universe.

Spoilers Obviously.

Well the reason for getting stuck is as good as any, Rush is a selfish unthinking cunt of a character and they have no choice because the entire planet is about to explode. Get lost on the otherside of the universe or die.


Special effects also look to be a cut above anything seen previously on TV. I'm really looking forward to this show right now.

Welcome to Battlegate Galactiverse. I'm surprised they didn't use the Cylon fighter woosh sound.

[Oskuro]

Ehm, I hope they elaborate, because their excuse for the dialling choice is pretty weak.

I actually think that in this case that is the point.

Bounty, whatever stylistic similarities the show has to certain other recent sci fi shows as long as it stands on it's own as a compelling drama i don't think that matters as much as the internet says it does.
Does it?

[CaptainChewbacca]

I expect 'Rush' to be catching HUUUUUUUGE amounts of crap for picking the address he did for the first few seasons. He'll be 'the guy who got us lost'.

It was an observation, not a judgement.

[Drooling Iguana]

The producers must be really glad that Devlin and Emmerich put those extra chevrons on the gate. Out of story ideas? Add another chevron!

[Crazedwraith]

Yeah, which they've done all of twice in twelve years? Total hackery!

[Anguirus]

Especially since they haven't "added" any. They could have just used different plot devices, but the extra chevron is interesting enough to use when it is launching a whole new spinoff.

Looks like they are going to try and start it off with some flashy effects so I suppose that might be an improvement and we have the obligatory 'guest' appearances from known cast members to help legitmise this show. Realistically, I am not looking forward to seeing Robert Carlyle in this show. I find him irritating and the characters he plays end up being consistantly selfish pricks. If that clip is consistant to his ongoing behaviour I can see him being a poor imitation of Baltar from nBSG.

If this show wasnt trying to aim towards 'younger' viewers and more like nBSG then I would expect Rush to promptly get his ass kicked from one side of the Destiny to the other for that stunt.

[NecronLord]

Huh. I'm sure someone will put it up illicitly again. (Hint)

As for rush...
Spoiler

There's another preview video with the colonel (I think it's him, anyway) shoving the business end of a rifle in Rush's face. So I'm guessing he's not going to be too popular after this stunt.

[Drooling Iguana]

Was Rush the fat kid or the guy with the mullet?

[NecronLord]

Doctor Rush is the guy with the mullet.

[Darksider]

Do we know who's attacking them yet?

They use Goa'uld equipment, but that could be anyone.

Lucien Alliance, Free Jaffa traitors, or there's gotta be some remnant Goa'uld that haven't been totally beaten yet.

[NecronLord]

Spoilers regarding attack:
Spoiler

Supposedly a starship Colonel (Carter?) speculates that it's the Lucians, but it's not yet revealed properly.
