Which is worse? Being stranded on Destiny in unknown space with little hope of getting home of being stranded, jumping blindly from gate to gate with little hope of getting home?
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Human
I could never get into Stargate: SG-1, so when Michael Shanks showed up on screen in “Human”, I went, “Check it out! It’s Hawkman!” instead of recognizing him as Daniel Jackson. The character is still James Spader in my mind.

Mutiny. Ship under attack. What can we add to this heady mix to make it more tense? Amateur heart surgery!
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Justice
By Lisa Fary – A mysterious death transforms Destiny into Law & Order: Universe in “Justice”. And there’s an alien potato that tastes like ass.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Time
By Lisa Fary – I kept finding myself distracted by Greer’s lips. That’s not to say I wasn’t engaged with the ep, “Time”. I was. But, Greer seems to be getting hotter and hotter and it’s starting with his lips.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Earth
By Lisa Fary – In this episode, Col. Telford, Col. Young and Mrs. Young have the most awkward threesome ever. That’s a new off-label usage for the communication stones.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Water
By Lisa Fary – The sand devil from the desert planet in “Air, Part 3” made it aboard Destiny and is super thirsty this week, gulping up 40,000 liters of the water supply and attempting to provide microdermabrasion services to the crew.
Full Story »Higlet Visits Stargate: Universe
By WorldofHiglet – I had never really watched Stargate. I missed SG1 and then felt I didn’t want to have to buy into another new series when there was so much to catch up on. The two-hour premiere aired before the press tour so I dutifully tuned in to see what it was all about. It was intriguing, with some spectacular set pieces and a whole host of characters. It was slightly confusing at first because there were so many people, but the storyline clipped along and we were very quickly into the action.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Light
By Lisa Fary – Given the choice between playing Survivor: Universe on a sub-zero rock and being a fire-roasted vegetable in the universe’s largest hibachi, I’d take the turbulence, heat, and death, thanks. At least I wouldn’t have to camp. And there are naked dudes on the ship (of course we have pics!).
Full Story »The Press of Space, the Weight of the Future
SyFy Press Tour – Stargate: Universe By Sylvia Bond – In their minds, naturally, the Stargate franchise has created strong women and enjoys developing their stories, like they said. But coming from a viewer who is female, I would say that their perspective is a little skewed. The problem with strong female characters is that TV-land is run by men and while they might start with an uzi-toting, commander-in-chief, muscle-toned female character, eventually she is relegated to jiggling her boobs, showering naked, having babies, and letting her hair hang down.

By Lisa Fary – For each SGU episode featuring gratuitous boob shots or other lady bits, I will run a gratuitous image of Lou Diamond Phillips (or some other random dude, depending on my mood).
Full Story »SyFy Press Tour: Why It Nearly Didn’t Happen for Me
By WorldofHiglet – When Lisa emailed me to say that there was another place on the Syfy.com press tour in Vancouver I was excited. I mean – I am HUGE fan of BSG and the thought of visiting the Caprica set (and maybe seeing Jane (bow, you fool!) Espenson), seeing where it all happened was awe-inspiring. Add to that a chance to catch up on some other, new-to-me sci-fi and it was going to be soooo good.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Air
By Lisa Fary – Stargate: Universe had my interest with three words: Lou Diamond Phillips. I’ve had a crush on him since Young Guns and even watched him this summer on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. No, I’m not proud of that last bit. I do, however, feel that after watching that jungle mess, I’m owed a little more LDP on SGU.
