Now That I Can Get Behind
I haven't been all too excited about the upcoming Stargate spinoff, since it seemed like it was going to be Baby Stargate or something, but this bit of casting news may change all that!

And frankly, the more SG (whatever flavor) morphs into Trek, the less I like it. The whole lure of SG-1 for me was NO SPACESHIPS. Just contemporary US soldiers and scientists exploring the universe through a single maguffin. No starships, no energy weapons (just good old guns and grenades), no shields failing, no warpcores breaching, none of the Trek-influenced crap that every other SF show gives us nowadays.
Alas, the longer Stargate went on, the more it began to resemble Star Trek. Now the humans are flying around in starship with transporters, shields, space battles at knife fighting distance, the whole nine yards. If I wanted Trek, I'd watch Trek.
Plus...you kids get off my lawn! (shakes fist).

LOL!
The thing I complain about the most these days is that we're supposed to believe with the thousands and thousands of people all over the world involved in the Stargate program and spaceships the military mans and flies all over creation, that it's still a freakin' secret! Now *that* is unbelievable! Let the population of Earth know already, for pity's sake.

LOL. I'd love to see that happening.

I'd have liked to see the secret come out. It would have been a great source of plots to have the program revealed and deal with the consequences. (Or not, if they wished; it IS run out of a high security military base 27 floors under the mountain. Nobody's getting in that they don't allow in.)

SGA really grew on me.

OMG yes! What also bothers me is how they want to make SGU more of a drama. I watched SG-1 and SGA because they were action-adventure shows that didn't take themselves seriously.

The Star Trek comparison makes it clearer to me how my interest declined from SG-1 to SGA. I liked DS9 a lot, but I always compared it to B5 and preferred the non-Trek show. I was one of the people, I know I wasn't alone in it, that's first thought when Ronon was introduced was that he was a cheap knock off of Tyr Anasazi from Andromeda. SGA was derivative in more ways than I consciously recognized. I lost interest in SGA before it was canceled and it sounds like SGU won't be drawing me back to Stargate.
(Lacking a Star Trek, Babylon 5, Andromeda, or Stargate icon I'm using my Classic Who one.)

My favorite movie of his will always be Ravenous. Disturbing as all get-out, but damn, he was awesome in that.

Didn't they cast someone as 11? Or was that another rumour?

(It always surprises me when you see Christopher Judge in interviews, he's so funny and personable and and sexy and Teal'c is built and formal and nigh unapproachable)

As for the show i just hope it doesn't turn into ST:Voyager - I really hated that show.

Is it just me or does this sound a lot like "Lost in Space"?

Now I have the image of Teal'c dressed up as the Tin Man, flailing madly stuck in my head!

So...
Ripping off Trek. Check.
Ripping off the _worst_ Trek ever. Check.
More starships, less stargates. Check.
"Mostly younger" cast--i.e., nobody over 35. Check.
I'll pass.
