That's pretty vague. Probably all scenes from the one premier episode and not much an indicator of the whole series. That said, I'll call it now: A new SG crew takes charge in Atlantis(or perhaps some new Ship), they fire up the newly discovered Wormhole Drive, and it malfunctions as Zelenka warned about in the Finale to SG:Atlantis. They all end up in some random place in the Universe, trying to find home.

I heard the idea is basically there's an 8th chevron on the gate that gets figured out. Normally you use 6 to travel within a galaxy, the 7th activates a mode to travel to a different galaxy (hence Pegasus and Atlantis), and the 8th gets you even farther. The ancients had seed ships they'd send out on long term missions to seed the galaxies with stargates. This 8th chevron lets you get onto one of those ships. Apparently somehow a bunch of people get on it and yeah.

It's the 9th (and final) chevron, not the 8th. The 8th (or rather the 7th in a series of 8, the 8th being the point of origin) is for long-distance dialing.

I hope the show isn't about a search for a zpm to dial home.
btw no Jaffa?
btw btw maybe its the home galaxy of the Furlings?

During the BSG finale they showed a very dark, quick glimpse of the new Stargate Universe.

It's the first I'd heard that Lou Diamond Philips would be in it.

At least they they will have some eye candy. Here's the hotness, though none can match a young Amanda Tapping:

Julia Anderson's Hot Tub scene in "Masters of Horror: Right to Die" Is worthy of note though.

1. If I am not mistaken, SG-U takes place before the ZPM "breakthrough."
2. See my 1st speculation.
3. We are never going to meet the Furnings! :|

Didn't they have one joke episode where they blew up the Furlings planet?

That was Wormhole XTreme. IIRC

BSG may have an influence on scifi for years to come.

what ZPM "breakthrough"?

I "think" near the end they mentioned finding an ability to restore power into ZPMs, but it's been so long it's kinda fuzzy.

Looks like Stargate: Galactica to me. But you can't really draw conclusions from a few seconds from one episode.

I was thinking more Stargate: Voyager. Hopefully I am wrong.

 

[bozack]

another hipster style scifi show....

Lame...I will watch it because everything else on TV sucks now but it is just sad how everyone is using the same 90210 model for a cast to try and up ratings.

Hmm. I don't remember that. In fact, in the final episode they needed zpm's from the wraith to fly the city back to Earth, iirc.
I don remember that early on in the show, when the wraith attacked the city, they were able to power the weapons chair, briefly, by an enhanced naquadah generator, but it quickly burned out.

Stargate Galactica - Lost In Space. I can't wait.

I think before they found them and were able to use them to travel in the stargate to other galaxies and such.
