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..

Yes, I've been following this as well and IMO it's quite ridiculous and reeks of censorship. The attempt to "accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative" seems like an uphill battle to me. I enjoy reading all opinions, both positive and negative although I usually stick to my happy place Flan/Shep thread and venture out once in a while to offer a small critique on things I completely dislike in an episode(McKeller). I realize it's a privately owned site but I think this decision is going to create more problems than it solves.

I've been following it to (found the thread on it) and I think it will alienate a lot of people. Well, if people leave, there's always the LJ community! :)
