Kate Hewlett and Stargate Universe

[wraithfodder]

GW has a brief snippet of an interview with Kate Hewlett, and I'm afraid to say that fan reaction of "Stargate: 90210" may not be that farfetched...

At the the article, she said ""I have a bunch of friends who have auditioned for the show," she said, "and they seem to be going very young. I think it's the new, hip, Stargate Jr. I think that I don't probably fit into that but I would love to. I was secretly hoping they'd be like, 'We need to bring someone over. Who could it be?'" I mean, Kate is 32, so if she's over-the-hill.... Sigh... For one thing, it sucks that we won't see Rodney and Jeanie bicker anymore.

I'm still 'meh' about SGU due to the way the studio, etc. handled axing SGA and then announcing their shiny new toy, SGU, plus the writers, who seem to have lost their focus on SGA, are all excited about SGU. Plus, frankly, I like the 'old folk' on SGA just fine. I just hope they all find new jobs soon (and I hope, hope, HOPE that Joe Flanigan lands on the NICS spinoff. Just a dream I'd like to see come true as NCIS is a hoot and I'm sure the spinoff will be fun too).

Based on past experience, I'm going what with Kate says over what Mallozzi and Co. says. For the most part, the actors have always been far more accurate in explaining things to come than those producers. So in response to her statement, I'm back to believing that SGU really IS with a 'younger audience'. (Never believed Mallozzi anyways.)

Mallozzi likes to spin. The actors are more realistic, so when they say it's a younger cast (especially since they know people auditioning), well...

If he likes to spin so much, I have some suggestions of what he can spin on. [innocent look]
