Dr. David Who...
;)

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

There's been a rumour going around for a while now that SG:U would have a "big name" cast as the lead... who would then be killed off in the pilot, leaving the young & inexperienced team to manage on their own.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

I thought that was Atlantis ;)

U.K. broadcaster Sky One has picked up the rights to air Stargate Universe, Variety reports

Yay!

The new deal struck with MGM gives Sky One the non-exclusive rights to Video On Demand and “download-to-own” for the entire Stargate catalog, Variety said.

Boo - No Stargate on Virgin VoD then

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Bet they won't show it on Sky Three either. :(

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Sure they will, eventually.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

They don't show the other series on Sky3 so I assume they won't.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

I'm pretty sure I've seen them put Prison Break and Bones on quite a few times.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Stargate SG-1 series 9 and 10 were made in 2004-2006, and they've NEVER shown it on Sky Three at all since it's been a DTT channel. Stargate Atlantis has been out since 2004 and that's not seen anything except Sky 1 and 2. It will never come to Sky 3 while Sky keep shafting their DTT audience with sub-standard programming. Which is why I've downloaded the 140 Stargate (Atlantis) episodes they have never shown on Sky 3 and am in the process of converting them to DVD so my parents can watch and enjoy them.

Sky are money-thieving barstools, and nothing short of showing SG-1 or Atlantis on Sky 3 will make me change my opinion of them.

They put the odd Bones episodes on Sky 3, but no Prison Break, no 24, no Battlestar Galactica etc, which is a shame because I'd actually watch them if they were on Sky 3. It's tactics like these which make piracy so prevalent of TV shows. And production companies wonder why people use BitTorrent for TV shows......

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Give that man a see-gaaar! Nail. Head. Smacked.

It was even more true when Virgin & Sky had their fallout removing Sky from the Virgin packges.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

I love a good rant against Sky most days. ;)

Ooh 'eck, hang on a second....

Non-exclusive meaning they don't have to keep it for themselves. IMO it'd be in their best interests to make it available on Virgin's VOD - bigger audience that way. :)

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

So has anyone got any updates or more news about Stargate Universe ?

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Only that i have renamed it Stargate voyager :LOL:

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

now you bring it up this show dose seem so much like voyager !

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

Non-exclusive meaning they can't keep it for themselves. It means they can show it on their own service, but MGM can also sell it to other VOD providers if it wishes. There's nothing to stop Virgin approaching MGM and also buying non-exclusive VOD rights, if it wants to.

Re: Robert Carlyle cast in Stargate Universe
 

People said that about Atlantis.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I would have thought Atlantis was more like DS9 - an outpost at the end of a worm hole to another galaxy.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

when did stargate turned into star trek?? ;)

the 2 shows feels really differant

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

SG:U will be on Sky 1 in October...

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

US timeline starts on the 2nd October, so Sky will probably be 7 to 14 days behind that

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Some very positive spoiler-free reviews of the first three episodes:

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I have heard that its only going to be 2-3 days at most.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

just watched the first 2 episodes of this. Little fragmented while it outlines where a few charectors come from but overall it looks promising

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

It's on Sky on Tuesday

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I didnt want to wait lol

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Just watched it in glorious HD which i would not have been able to do on Tuesday if i had waited.

Does look promising.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

So good you said it twice eh? ;)

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

50 meg for you. Its that fast i did it twice on the edit

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Well having seen the premier, my fears of the "dumbed down" Stargate early reports told us Universe was going to be of have been dispelled.

Really promising start :D

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

can't wait till 9.30 ,just got in from work going to have a big chinese and sit down and watch stargate universe :D on me lappy in HD ,life is good :D

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

V. enjoyable - I will continue watching this.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Really good start and its a lot darker and more grown up than the previous incarnations.

Its also taken a few pointers from Galactica with the handheld camera thing.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I watched 2 episodes last night and thought it was great.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

What an excellent start.
Loving the fact not everone is getting along and they are squabbling.
Also a bit confused I thought Lou diamond phillips was going to be a regular but from what I saw it didn't look like he got on the destiny, are we only going to see him in flashbacks?

Why couldn't they have use one of the remote controled camera things to push the button on the inside of the shuttle pod as eliah seemed to be contoling it ok?

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Great show and i can't wait to see more. I wonder if Eli Wallace will have a change of clothes because he never had chance to pack a bag before they beamed him up.
:D

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Yes - because he already asked for new trousers when he ended up on board the Hammond ;)

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

In an interview with DS he said he was only a guest star for this season.
Wasn't that because he only had boxer shorts on though?

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I also enjoyed SGU. Looks very promising.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Probably needs the ancient gene to activate the switches.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Yep, looks promising so far. :)

Hopefully will be better that Atlantis which I thought was dismal. :(

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Really didn't like Ep 3.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I liked it.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I've just watched it and i liked it too.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Ep 4 doesn't look like it's getting better. Too much emotion not enough plot.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

There is also a social group that can be used for discussion. :)

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I watched the episode last night and they need to start adding some action. The plot last night was two people go out to bring back a snowball. One person falls down a hole, but gets back out again. Some bugs start drinking the water, but get sent through the stargate and everything is ok again. I hope the storyline starts getting better soon.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I'm loving it so far and i'm sure you will get your action eventually.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

The week before they were on a desert planet all sun no water, next week no sun no ice, what could it be, action ? naaaaaaaa.

This programme is rubish.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Not enough dead aliens eh?

Survival under extreme conditions not enough..

Well I'm sure some FX ridden, poorly written, overloud crap will be along soon..

And when are they going to get the silent explosion in space thing right?

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I have enjoyed it so far.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Don't watch it then,

Wait for something that gives you what you want.;)

Personally I'll give it a bit longer to see what happens..

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Yeah, i'd like to see some dead aliens. Stargate Universe will probably be great once it gets going. It's just taking some time getting going.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

Ditto. I like explosions & space battles, but what's wrong with drama & characters?

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

If I don't watch it I can't comment on it and hope that it gets a lot lot better as I enjoy SI-FI, but this is just dull.

re: Stargate Universe : Season 1
 

I gotta say I find it a bit so-so. It's a great concept but there's no spark. I find I don't give a damn about any of the characters. :(
