Stargate Universe is Stargate SG1 Redux

[wraithfodder]

At least with casting. It seems all the SG1 cast will guest star in SGU. Alas, SGA, once again, is the red-headed stepchild.... :(

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

Alas, I am yawning at this news. I liked STargate SG-1, but I am tired of TPTB foisting these characters into every incarnation of Stargate. Wasn't it enough that they appeared in Stargate Atlantis? Can NO Stargate show stand on its own two feet?? Guess not. And, I can see including a singer is definitely aiming toward the *cough* '90210' audience. ;)

Lame.

(in canon) There is no reason that members of SGA can't be a part of SGU now that Atlantis is back on earth (which means they can visit the SGC any time).

[except] TPTB screwed over the Atlantis cast royally. But still, I can't imagine that, schedule permitting, professionals (actors, but more-so TPTB) couldn't set aside differences and be a part of the show or ask them if they would play a brief part.

Even if the show turns out not to suck half as badly as I think it will, the showrunners still do.
