New series – Stargate: Voyager… uh, I mean Universe

SciFi opens a new Stargate : Slice of SciFi

As I mentioned in my last post, Stargate: Atlantis has been cancelled and will be wrapped up in a 2-hour movie. I also referred to a third potential Stargate series. That’s now been confirmed, and the title is Stargate: Universe.

The plot:

“Universe” introduces a team of explorers who find an ancient unmanned ship called the Destiny. Unable to return to Earth, the crew must fend for themselves aboard the ship, which has a preprogramd [sic] mission taking them to the far reaches of the universe.

Sound familiar? A group of explorers on a spaceship trying to get home? Wonder if it will have a female captain?

Anyway… as usual, I’ll watch it when it airs next summer. I’ll probably even like it. Then they’ll rip it away because it didn’t do American Idol numbers in its first 15 minutes.

    Do I sense a tone of bitterness :P

    I think the format can work, it didn’t so much on Voyager because they didn’t want a continuing and developing story arc, opting for stand alone episodes that could be shown out of order. Worked for TNG but couldn’t work on a show with a defined resolution.

    It’s funny how they suggest the reason why they are stopping Atlantis is because of the production costs but then they green light a show that will no doubt have the same levels of production costing?

    Who? Me? Bitter? ;)

    I totally agree. The format can work, and in fact it probably will. That doesn’t mean they won’t cancel it before realizing it’s good. I’ve been burned too many times, now. I guess the scabs are starting to show.
