Stargate Atlantis actors on Stargate Universe??

Well, this should get fandom stirred up...

Showing off the vast fabric of the Stargate universe, cast members from both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis will make appearances in the second season of SGU.

That’s the word from our friends at SCI FI PI, the Web site for Australia’s SCI FI broadcast network, which was in Vancouver last week for an international press junket on the show’s set.

My opinion? It doesn't surprise me that they're using Stargate SG-1 characters. Daniel Jackson is smarter than most of the folks on Destiny so could always a help. Carter? I think the scientist in her would like to see the Destiny so she'd go... Teal'c? There's absolutely no reason for him to go, and he'd probably need therapy if he ended in Eli's body ;) Jack makes the most sense (everybody reporting back to him). Mitchell? He' s a pilot, so, er, why go?

As for Atlantis... and I see this, quite honestly, as a way to draw back all the Atlantis fans who quit the franchise (if you comment, please refrain from bad language, thx) . Let's see, Sheppard? Pilot, why go? McKay? Been through body swap, would probably rather eat a lemon than do it again. Teyla, no need, Ronon (same scenario as Teal'c) ;). Zelenka? Hmm...

But of course lots of folks could stay Earth-side as nobody is going to lose the dumb stones anytime soon. My guess is the guest star will be like 2-3 minutes max, although they'll promote the heck out of it. Call me cycnical, but I've watched SyFy too long ;)

Most Nay sayers didn't watch SGU. I did watch most of the season, but I gave up eventually.

I respect your view, but to think that my view (or the one of others that say that it isn't part of the franchise) is an insult to the wonderful people that created Stargate and not respected makes me happy that I'm not that involved in the fandom.

The people who created SG1 and SGA also created SGU!
I don´t think Universe will fail just because of these constant bashing from some unsatisfied people who can´t life with change.
I enjoy Universe and hope it get´s many, many seasons.

I didn't say that I want it to fail, did I?

I gave SGU ten chances and it doesn't hook me - to tell the truth I was thinking of a fanfic to kill the whole whiny gang off. And at that point I gave up and it wouldn't be on my interest list anymore. What me get on the barrikades are SGU-lovers who offent fans of the other shows (SG-1 and Atlantis).
You can enjoy SGU, okay, but don't blame anyone who don't like the show.
To answer the question: No, SGU isn't part of the franchise for me.

Adding my support to the SGU not living up to the Stargate name. And being able to express that view without being pounced upon as a bad fan. I like what I like, no shame in that. And I'm still bitter about the cancellation, also no shame in expressing it.

You're welcome, totally agree with you.

exactly, I dont do SGU and having an sga actor on there may make me catch the clips on youtube, but it will not encourage me to watch the show. and if that means im not a true fan then so be it.
