Stargate: Universe - possible spoilers

[Feathers]

When it eventually plays over here I'll let you know how it fairs against whet we normally see of this sort of thing.

I agree with Kevins assessment of the original SG-1 pilot FWIW as I understand it, Showtime overrode the producers and had that scene inserted. It certainly took me aback when I came across it last year. If I have any hope of putting Stargate in front of my kids, I'll need a copy of the re-cut version.

All of the visuals aside, did anyone really like the music by Joel Goldsmith?  Already I want that opening soundtrack.  Make me want to do a MISF ep on Joel.

I really liked the pilot!!  I missed it on Friday night up here but was pleasantly surprised to find it on Itunes for free.  Already watched it twice on the touch.  How cool was the Last Starfighter nod!!!

Recording it now on Sky :)

[Feathers]

OK, seen it now :)

It's certainly different to what has gone before, both in terms of content and shooting style. That said, there are enough references to earlier series (SG-1 anyway) and appearences by earlier characters that the linkage is clearly present.

There are a lot more shades of gray here than have been portrayed in the earlier takes on Stargete. At this point, a number of people are simply opaque in terms of working out what their motivation for what they are doing is.

Oh, and with reference to the earlier discussion...no sex scene here. They obviously cut it for broadcast and to be honest, I struggle to work out where it would have fitted. I have one theory but that's almost an aside - it wasn't shown and I don't think I lost anything as a result.

You didn't see the guy and the girl in the storage room? Later he sorts of pretends he doesn't know her by asking her name.

Nope. Not unless it was a 'blink and you'll miss it' moment and I blinked at the wrong time. Which hour was it in? (I'm guessing first since there was a vast store room scene with a few people in it.)

It was in a scene right before the senator and the others arrive at the station. They are calling him to report to where the senator is.

[Feathers]

I'll have to and check now. I remember him running off to the beam in site, but not what he was running from.

[Feathers]

No, watched it again this evening. That scene was definately cut.

Knowing what was missing and why, I now understand the whole 'Oh, you're..." reference in the second episode where he pretends not to know her.

So how was he introduced in that scene? Did they show him just being called and on the way?

[Feathers]

Not even being called. Just on the way and buttoning up his belt or webbing. The intro was his introduction to Eli at the beam in site.

Just did a check ... they said it was cut for the 8pm show because of the whole watershed thing, but was in the later showing.

Makes sense...but I didn't know there was a later show.
