At some point during the series finale of Battlestar Galactica tonight, Sci Fi will unveil a 30-second trailer for Stargate: Universe featuring a first look at the show’s crew. Actually, make that a second look. This exclusive cast shot above is, technically speaking, the first look.
Study it. Discuss it. Share it with friends. And then try connect the names with the faces, ’cause I don’t have the time to do that whole left-right-front row-back row thing.
Here are those names now (again, in no particular order): Robert Carlyle, Lou Diamond Phillips, Justin Louis, Brian J. Smith, Elyse Levesque, David Blue, Alaina Huffman, Jamil Walker Smith, and Ming-Na.
Okay, I’ll get you started: Carlyle is front and center.
SG:U, which is being billed as the edgier cousin to Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1, debuts this fall.
I just hope it’s better than its predecessors. Robert Carlyle’s one of my favorite actors so… I’ll definitely give it a chance.
Great… Stargate: Voyager. Call me unimpressed.
I hope this show does well.
Could it be any worse than Atlantis and the last few seasons of SG-1?
Oh yeah it’s all the same writers… yeah it’s going to blow badly.
Hellooooo Brian J. Smith
Yay David Blue! I think that guy’s adorable.
Why is Robert Carlyle slumming on Stargate?
Ummm…Stargate: Sausagefest? Gonna be a lot of chest-puffing up in THAT mug.
Could you make your exclusive photo even smaller?
Looks like a good cast.
I won’t be watching as I’m still mad over the way Atlantis was cancelled to make way for Universe.
But I wish them luck with the rest of the fans.
What are you talking about…. Stargate is great. My favourite seasons of Atlantis were the last 3 seasons and SG-1 too. I can’t wait until Stargate Universe is on the air. The cast looks great. But why aren’t they in costume? That would be cooool! I guess we’ll have to wait until the show actually airs.
Lou Diamond Phillips? Ming-Na? Robert Carlyle? That’s a pretty star-studded cast. Sounds like it could be pretty good!
I’ve never watched Stargate Atlantis but I’ll check this one out mainly because of Robert Carlyle
Nothing will ever top seasons 1-8 of Stargate SG-1. Atlantis was a poor carbon copy and this one isn’t so much “edgy” as it is “Voyager.”
I actually liked Atlantis more than SG1. I was more fascinated by the characters.
But each to thier own, I’m sure there will be those who think this new series will be the best one ever.
