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..

Alright, I got bored with the Replicators again, I'll give you that one. ;)

I got bored with the replicators before they were done using them on SG-1. Then retconning in a new backstory in SGA to move their origins back to the Ancients was really pushing it.

Having them show up yet again in Ark of Truth, apparently just to have Mitchell fight RepliTerminator, was the last straw.

The replicators should *never* have been allowed on SGA. The producers spun us stuff about 'great new villains' (the wraith) and then they drag out the old chestnut, the replicators. Yeah, I was going *again?* when I saw that on AOT as well. These guys (the writers) get pai a nice chunk of change to come up with new ideas, so well, let's have some NEW stuff.

A friend and I watched AOT together, and we went into full-on "WTF?" mode when the Replicators were dragged into the plot.

They weren't needed, and I'd have rather have devoted more time to the real plot and the characters themselves instead of Ways to Blow Sh*t Up #6,439.
