Interesting. That clip from Dec sounded iffy, but the new cast additions sound promising.
Still sounds like ST: Voyager though. =/

EW.com has a promotional photo up of the cast. I'm actually really looking forward to watching this incarnation with Stargate.

Well, this is good news for SG-1 fans. Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping and Michael Shanks will make guest appearances on SGU.
Now, they need to get Joe Flanigan from SGA to make an appearance or two.

Re: Robert Carlyle to lead Stargate Universe
I do have cable(finally caved in for sports 2 years ago). I did't get Syfy (official?) in HD up until a few months ago though.
I'm good to go. I've never watched SG-1 or Atlantis weekly, I watched all 15 seasons on DVD as they were released.

Re: Robert Carlyle to lead Stargate Universe
Looks really good. Looking forward to it.
No, you should be cool watching this if you haven't seen SG-1 or Atlantis yet. It's an entirely different cast and looks like a fresh new story without any ties to the previous shows.
BTW, I heard this is the most expensive Stargate incarnation. That's probably why SyFy cancelled Atlantis and devoted more money to this.

Re: Robert Carlyle to lead Stargate Universe
Plot is a shameless rehash of Voyager and Battlestar: Galactica. "We gotta get back home...to EARTH!" Meh.

Re: Robert Carlyle to lead Stargate Universe
There are only so many possible settings for these type of shows (exploring, marooned, distant outpost, etc..), it's all about the execution.

Re: Robert Carlyle to lead Stargate Universe
That does look good! Looks much more edgy and dark than SG-1 or SGA. It also looks like they've updated some of the SGverse and perhaps the budget.

The Futon Critic has a review of the pilot and first episode. Essentially, "Good, but not great".
There's a few spoilers if you don't know much about the plot.
