"BSG is ending this season. We'd like to keep that crowd. Are you sure you can do a Stargate show that will attract BSG viewers?"
(Fingers crossed behind their back) "Oh, yes, no worries there, just give us the green light for SGU this season and we can attract that audience. We'll make the cast younger, more epic feel to the stories and serialize it. You'll get all the stargate viewers plus those BSG viewers. Trust us."
Have we seen the writers be able to pull off this large of an ensemble cast ever? What always happens in Stargate; they focus in on four or five actors and leave the rest alone.
