Thumbs up for the casting. Who knows how the show will be . . . coming from Trek fandom tv franchises can be dead horses which you can beat and beat and beat until there's little entertainment value left in them, and this premise sounds a wee bit Voyager-ish to me . . . but who knows. I always try to reserve judgement until I've seen it.
Well, it sounds like Voyager, Farscape, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica got together and went through an Stargate. *g*
Also, if there's one thing I *don't* expect the Stargate writers, it's originality. I just enjoy Brad Wright's sense of humor a lot more than I probably should and I'm happy he's gonna keep making shows that will cater to my exact comedic needs -- and without them actually being comedies, which is also very important to me. :)
That's a good point. I don't really expect originality from any Stargate series either. I expect to be entertained in a rather mindless fashion, get my sci-fi fix and you're correct about the humour.
I'm actually about to start renting SG-1! I've only ever seen SGA, and without school I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hands so I figured that'll occupy my tv-time for awhile.
Oh, I hope you like SG-1 -- I found it far superior than SGA, actually -- there's actual character development and they do seem to have a plan re: story-arcs. You just gotta stick around the first few seasons to get to the really good stuff [that being, in my opinion, seasons 4 and 6 and 8.]
Though I bet you're gonna end up being a Daniel girl and not a Jack girl like myself. Daniel's the archaeologist after all. :)
Well the original is usually better than any sequel, but we'll see I suppose. I haven't even watched all of SGA yet either, just the first couple of seasons but I intend to get on that as well. Though I've heard the later seasons perhaps aren't so good . . . perhaps you better not say what you thought, I hate to go in with too many negative opinions. I generally like to see for myself.
An archaeologist you say? *g* I do have a certain affinity for the ancient world . . .
