Interview: ‘Stargate Universe’ Co-Creator Brad Wright Previews Season 2

Mike Moody

I got a chance to speak with Stargate Universe co-creator Brad Wright about the show’s second season, premiering Tuesday night on Syfy. I interviewed Wright for a feature I wrote for TV Squad about the evolution of the Stargate franchise and what fans can expect from SGU this year. Read on below for the interview. (Head back to TV DeathRay on Tuesday for an interview with David Blue, who plays Eli Wallace on SGU.)

SGA characters to appear on SGU S2

From the above mentioned interview

"So speaking of characters that might be at odds with each other, David Hewlett and Robert Picardo from Stargate Atlantis will appear on the show this season.
We just finished shooting that episode. It was so nice to see them again."

You guys must really be stargate-starved, because to call this a good episode really lowers the bar. Seems like the same old crap from last year. Poor lighting, nothing really compelling in terms of the story. A disgrace to the name Stargate.

Yes I am SG starved. I should have phrased my comment as good for SGU not implying it was a good SG episode.

 

[dfergie]

Its all we have

 

[dfergie]

If I didn't already have the 1.5 disc I would get the whole season when it comes out next week... much better to view the BD's (no screen spam and dts audio)

 

[DJdish]

I just caught up with my watching the premiere episode and looking forward to the next one.

Its all we have

I know, and its the only reason I keep watching. IF it weren't for the hope, the lure of some real SG, I would have dumped it long ago. But two episodes in, I can not say I am very hopeful. It is just not very good science fiction.

We should still be watching SGA in new episodes, not this drivel.

Finally finished this episode, Rush lost them a shuttle... and Young is a Killer...

Finally finished this episode, Rush lost them a shuttle... and Young is a Killer...

I wonder why they decided to crash the shuttle? Was it too expensive for the CGI to have a shuttle? It is not like they used it a lot, but it sure is handy to have one.

 

[dfergie]

From the previews...

Spoiler

Looks like Rush stopped Destiny for another ancient ship that will probably have another shuttle...

 

[dfergie]

Interesting twists...

 

[dfergie]

Rush sure threw Chloe under the bus... liked this episode.

 

[long_time_DNC]

I'll see it on Friday.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Rush sure threw Chloe under the bus... liked this episode.

It was ok, didn't wow me. But wasn't terrible.

 

[BlackHitachi]

It was ok, didn't wow me. But wasn't terrible.

Agreed.

 

[Ramy]

It was ok, didn't wow me. But wasn't terrible.

Yeah me also.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Rush is a real jerk. Other than that, not much to write home about. Eli's subplot was mildly interesting near the end.

 

[ripnbigc]

The storyline needs to pick up the pace.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

The storyline needs to pick up the pace.

If they could find someway to inject something SG1-ish, anything... but I fear this going down the same path as Caprica, but in the process they will kill off the best science fiction franchise since Star Trek The Next Generation.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Which is probably what SyFy intends to do (unfortunately)... They'll kill off anything that doesn't immediately turn a profit. They're in the process of making the concept a Sci-Fi channel almost irrelevant, which is extremely sad (IMO)...
