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..

True! Aren't fanfic writers supposed to be the ones making all the Mary Sues?

You'd think...

Well, a lot of us do say we're practicing for the big time. Maybe they're all going in reverse?

Most fanfic writers try to avoid writing them once they understand what they are.

Apparently the pro writer response is to not only have a Mary Sue, but make her secondary character a focus of the final season, just because they luvs her so much.

True. THe writers who get paid the big bucks should at least attempt to put some reality into the relationships they write, or if nothing else, realize that high security installations don't have cheap wooden doors ;)
