Stargate Universe casting sides (slightly revised)

[wraithfodder]

Found some updated, minorly, casting sides for Stargate Universe. Under the cut...

NEW STUFF IN COLORED TEXT

 

Colonel Everett Young. 40’s handsome, capable, former SG team leader. Like the Jack O’Neill of ten years ago, but Young’s edges have tended to sharpen over time. He requested permission to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he’s temporary commander of a secret off world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him never to take anything for granted, and be prepared for anything. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive. STAR NAMES ONLY.

 

Series Regular; Tamara Johanson.Jon: 20-25, all ethnicities (Asian Preferably). SGC Field medic, Captain grade. Off world experience. Beautiful, tough, smart, capable. Paramedic level training. Able to triage serious injury. Modest background. Dreamed of being a doctor but couldn’t afford medical school and the Air Force was her best option. She ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship but is overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and experience treating seriously wounded and ill patients. She also lacks the medicine and supplies and has to make do.

Cloe Series Regular; Chloe Carpenter.: 20 ish. Stunning and sexy. Daughter of a U.S. Senator. Silver spoon upbringing and a little spoiled but not stupid either. Politically and socially savvy. Dreams of following in her father’s footsteps but for now she’s a bit of a party girl in her first year at an Ivy League school. Her father’s tragic death and the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship seriously tests her character.

 

Series Regular; Eli Hitchcock.: 20-25. Total slacker. Utter genius. Mathematics, computers, anything he puts his mind to. Acerbic sense of humor. A social outcast. Comes from a broken home. Lacks confidence because his true intelligence has never really been recognized like Matt Damon’s character from Good Will Hunting with a little Jack Black thrown in.

 

Series Regular; Lt. Jared Nash.: 20-25, all ethnicities. Junior SGC team member. Officer material but green and rough around the edges. Every teenage girl’s fantasy. Like a college quarterback thrown into his first pro game, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he’s ready for the responsibility and must learn to take command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities on the ship to keep everyone alive. Like Jason Bourne, he is skilled and well-trained but however he is mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation.

 

Series Regular; Ron ’Psycho’ Stasiak.: 20, all ethnicities. Marine. Big, strong, silent. You want him on your side. You don’t want him mad at you. Lacks control over his temper in non combat situations. His emotional expression ranges from sarcasm to anger. His past is a mystery but it’s clear something dark formed the hard shell around him. Yet, there must also be some moral center because otherwise he’d kill everyone around him. Think Eric Bana’s character – ‘Hoot’ - in Blackhawk Down. Adam Baldwin at 20 could play him.Series Regular.

-----------------------------

Anyway, just a few little changes (which turned up in green for new stuff and red for deleted) that were made (found it at a casting site) - I am beginning to think Colonel Young is gonna DIE (ala Sumner) since Lt. Nash is 'thrust into the role of leader') Have I seen this plot before? Nah.... not going to gripe about this as I think we basically got it out of our system. Maybe a little mocking... ;)

And again, we have TPTB without a clue. Jons would most likely be an Air Force ParaJumper [USAF pararescue], a SF medic or a Navy Seal medic - all of which are well experienced 'enlisted' people. Not a freaking USAF officer. Those are mid-level experienced nurses or doctors in training at that rank.

13+ years and they *still* can't get it right. It's *not* rocket science, dudes.

Sheesh!

It's just so irritating. And from a writing standpoint, there's all sorts of great dynamics that could be used with the whole 'mixed group' [officer, enlisted, civillian, military] dynamic.

It just ticks me off that we as fan fic writers do a hell of a lot better research and they slack off *and* get paid for it.

Oh. My. God.

This sounds like it's going to be really, really bad.

So it's... SGA lite.

The ones that got screwed with SG:U seem to be the fans and actors that were apart of SGA.

I seriously can't be bothered checking out anything about SGU 90210. It just makes me unhappy and I like to live in my happy little world.

It keeps reminding me of Deepwater Black (aka Mission Genesis) for some weird reason.

As far as TPTB not doing basic research, did anyone else notice in "Brainstorm" when Keller claimed know about academic competition because she was in medical school for 6 years? In the United States, medical school is pretty well standardized at FOUR years. If it took her 6 years to graduate a 4 year curriculum, what the heck is she doing on Atlantis? (And Rodney didn't even raise an eyebrow - sigh) Seticat is absolutely correct about the rank comment above - the day I graduated medical school I was commissioned as a CAPTAIN. That is NOT the rank of a "Field Medic". (I love the idea of a Navy Seal or Special Forces medic, though - I wish seticat was on the development team for this show!)

Hehehe, I was reading this, and for the first time all I was thinking was : yeah, whatever, it's not like I'm going to watch anyway, couldn't care less...

How far the mighty have fallen :p.

[ainaria.livejournal.com]

Wow, they're actually ALL like 20 years old. Well except the Colonel.

[tashirasbubble.livejournal.com]

Thanks for keeping us updated WF - Still not liking the sound of this... - alla Sumner - exactly!

I'd much rather the TPTB scrapped this and picked up the AU Sheppard for a Vegas Cop show instead - Now THAT I would watch!

[faekitty71.livejournal.com]

Like OMG, what's a stargate?

[faekitty71.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to explain to the Stargate folks that officers actually have to go to college and doctors have to go medical school. Hence most of the people should be in their *late* 20's.

wandering in...

and while I have zero interest or intentions to watch SG:90210? I can't help but wonder wtf they're doing now... it's sorta like watching a train wreck in progress.

I guess it's just their well developed sense of self importance that spares them from actually doing basic research into the "real" backgrounds of alleged characters.

Anytime these morons come up? my upper lip snaps into an automatic sneer... gotta get some of that anti-wrinkle tape to hold it down. =0

So, aside from Carlyle, whom as has been pointed out, is likely to get killed early on, they haven't announced any other casting info?

And, they're supposed to start shooting in like February?!?

This, this again, leaves me w/ like no hope for the future of the franchise. The PTBs have shown how lazy & stupid they are time & again. Hell, even Peter D. commented on how SGA stole one of his SG1 stories for SGA on an SGA commentary.

*sighs deeply*
Did they not mock this whole notion thoroughly in SG-1 "200"?
Yo, respec' those streetwise cool dudes and ho's.
Who wouldn't last five seconds in Pegasus, no matter how cute they all looked. Well the Wraith would enjoy them, Briefly.
Which I suspect will be my attention span to this show.
*sighs again*
