Carlyle in a movie from time to time ? No problem. In a weekly show ? No thanks. Sorry but he's definitely not my type enough for me to watch the show sorely for his presence. Plus isn't he older than both Flanigan and Hewlett ? And definitely not as pretty as anyone in SGA. So the "younger", "prettier", "whatever", isn't really working for me right now.
To be honest I'm a bit surprised by this choice, both of the producers and of the actor himself. Yes he's been in quite a few European and/or independant movies, but I highly doubt he's a "name" in the USA.
I doubt he's coming with a really low salary either, and given that they also want another "name" for the young lead, well let's just say that budget-wise, I'm beginning to wonder what quality of FX they are going to have.
Plus if they begin with high salaries, they're going to be in a clench even faster than usual :10 years for SG1 before the actors became too expensive, 5 for Atlantis, what, 2, 3 at the most for SGU ? And then they either change the cast or do another one ?
All in all, this has absolutely not changed my opinion on SGU, I still will not watch. The only thing that could change my opinion was if they decided to get team Sheppard (the real one, without the current leech) on board and to throw Paris Hilton above Earth before they leave.
