I love Lou Diamond Phillips, he can do both funny and serious in a terrific way. Too bad that he wasn't cast as Col. Nash, then I would have actually looked forward to this show. But looking at the cast...
Col. Telford -> Col. Sumner Col. Nash -> Maj. Sheppard Camille Wray -> Elizabeth Weir Tamara Johansen -> Jennifer Keller Sgt. Ronald Greer -> Lt. Ford/Ronon
So, we get the Asian bigwig (SGA's Tamlyn Tomita) and the black brute. And the rest of the cast is, of course, blindingly white and blond.
I mean, I know that people said the same thing about SGA vs. SG-1 but those two shows didn't have such a similar premise too - stranded in space with no way to get home: Atlantis vs. Destiny.
I just don't see how they want to "attract new and younger viewers" by basically copying the SGA cast and slapping famous names on them.
