Robert Carlyle on Stargate Universe, Take Two

[wraithfodder]

Hmm, yanked this off Mallozzi's blog tonight (12/15/2008) ... "As some of you may have heard, the wonderfully talented Robert Carlyle has signed on to join the crew of the Destiny in the upcoming Stargate: Universe series. The award-winning actor - Begbie from Trainspotting to some, Hamish Macbeth to others - will be playing the role of Dr. David Rush, the ship’s brilliant Machiavellian scientist. I see a lot of myself in Rush and, next to yours truly of course, I can’t imagine anyone better for the part. Contrary to initial reports, the Rush character is not the leader of the unplanned expedition. That honor falls to Colonel Everett Young. For now. But things could have a way of changing on board a ship manned by a disparate group with very different agendas…

hmm, hmmm, uh....

Somehow a character which is a lot of Joe Mallozzi DOES NOT inspire me to watch..

And the alien will be a person of colour, cos aliens in the SC-verse are always non-white...

regrettably, that is the way they appear to cast scifi shows. I mean, look at SG1 (Teal'c), Andromeda (Tyr), etc. etc.

I think there needs to be a betting pool on that. The winner gets to cry a little.

I'll just cry now and get it over with already...

hmm. perhaps. and then there will be obvious hints at a relationship that the fans will grow to love and then one of them will die/be sent to the pegasus galaxy/become taken over by replicators or goauld/fall in love with a nerdy scientist.

did i mention killing off the doctor?
and replacing her with someone else?
