Stargate Universe Seed Ship
If you were/are a fan of Stargate Universe, you were probably pretty bummed by the ending of the last season. Well, thanks to writers Mark L. Haynes and J.C. Vaughn along with artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo, we finally will get at least a continuation of the story! Issue #1 of Stargate Universe was released June 28th by American Mythology Productions.

It is true, that SGU is in some ways a kind of 'Battlegate Atlantica Light', especially in visuals and drama. That's why I like it much more than SG-1 and SGA. Especially the slightly shaky 'reality cam' with the much nearer approach to a person's face is what I liked on BSG, because it gives you the feeling of being right beside the actors. Anyone who hates this, or the colors of BSG, or its dramatic behavior, might be displeased, even with this 'Light' version of an obvious mixture of BSG, SGA, and (only in plot) Voyager.
After all, I wonder about the age of the audience the producers intend. I think that SG-1 and SGA are for younger people than Stargate Universe, because of the simplicity, nice women and militarism there, which fascinates mostly young people (= boys, who want have a girlfriend like Samantha Carter and a gun).

SGU has a little deeper approach, and fortunately (I just saw ep.07) not so many (cheap) missions in the greenery, which I always hated, from Star Trek TOS to BSG. Coming with this, there is much less military, almost no shooting (I am very surprised about that), and less McGuyverism (although they could not always withstand), although more personal problems, failures and obscurities. That makes - in my opinion - SGU more human. The mastermind, Dr. Rush, is someways completely helpless with the Ancient ship's systems.
It seems, he could have a plan - but he hasn't. He is in no way as brilliant as Samantha Carter or Rodney McKay, he is weak and struggles with his past. Young is not as tough as Sheperd or O'Neill. And thats advantageous.
For the moment, we have no enemies except those inside the acting persons and inside the organization. The main enemy is ignorance, helplessness and inscrutable Ancient technology. Maybe thats a lack, because from where could an ally/enemy like Todd the Wraith (whose potential wasn't even fully used in SGA) come from?
- Let's see, what the producers have in mind for us. After the first few episodes I fear alas, that the tensions and problems of the pilot will be solved in time, and the series go back to good old Stargate Business, to say so, everybody is happy with everybody, and go further and fight out problems (even with guns?), using the ship's advanced technology more and more. The actors in SGU are very good, beginning with Robert Carlyle, who fits perfectly in his character. Justin Louis has a great performance as a partially broken shepherd of a herd of civilians, and well, David Blue.he has the easiest part here and does it very well. The big surprise is J.W. Smith, who brings the most rude/cool and also maybe most wise marine in the Stargate Universe.

He has definitively charisma. Unfortunately there are no female characters to mention, because the script doesn't give them much chances. In ep.07 there is more with the Chloe Armstrong Character, but it's only a half-hearted try. Ming-Na does well in ep.05, but her character also should have more to do than being afraid. Until now, my best episode of Stargate Universe until now was nr.5, where the whole staff incl. Writers successfully gave their best to create a real milestone.
I'm curious if they can top it in the future.
From Earth the Ancient launch another Seed Ship and a Follow Up Ship to seed (Stargate Universe)another Galaxy to escape the Goa'uld, to the Constellation system 'Pleiades'The 'Seed Ship' continues to move along planting Stargates, the 'Follow Up Ship' has a mishap and crash lands on a very hot steamy jungle planet. The section of the ship to which contains the Stargate has broken off and is lost somewhat to the jungle and never found, the rest of the ship is found by a not so primitive alien species 'Predators'. Slowly they started finding out some of the 'Ancients' Tech Secrets and started moving their race forward.Now move forward some 10,000 years or more and the 'Predators' have moved on from this little world to establish 'New Home Worlds' separate 'Worlds' this one has just became to small for the two different clans and needs, it became just a small out of the way planet that use to use as a 'Hunting Preserve' to which Humans were transported to for the 'First Hunt' for very young 'Predators' from time to time. As time pass this planet became just more of an out of the way place until it was just a small totally forgotten world.Over time those Humans that survived the hunts by escaping, formed into small groups and have made this place their home.

Having found the 'Lost' Stargate and have moved it and the DHD ( Dial Home Device) to a central place of worship in an abandon underground city of the former occupants the 'Predators'. There are two Clans of Predators each with a similar cast system, Low, Middle and the Higher cast, the Higher cast are the ones that are allowed to use ships to hunt on other worlds, the middle cast hunt on preserves and the lower cast hunt in arena settings, many are born into their cast but there are opportunities to move up in the cast system by being a better hunter. The two Clans are at odds with each other each, competing for better hunting grounds and more dangerous Prey.
Just adding another reason why they have moved off this small planetOver the past the 'Predators' used humans as two things, slave labor to build their massive cities and for hunting by selecting promising humans, training them with skills and releasing them into the arenas for the hunt for the lower cast. A very few promising humans are pick for the 'Hunting Preserve Worlds' from the slave labor force. Most humans that are hunted on the Hunting Preserve Worlds at taken from Earth.
Soon after the Stargate team arrives, They find themselves scouting out the underground complexes to which they make it their base camp finding hieroglyphs, drawings and other writings. As they ventured out from the underground complex, they soon discover the human inhabitants of this new world. Now moving on to this new project.Okay now, I have all the figures that I would need in 15mm range. I have Predators from Khurasan Miniatures and Xenomorphs (Aliens) as well. I have the Non-Stargate Team from GZG (Ground Zero Games) plus I have Marines from Peter Pig's Miniatures.All I need now is some Aztec or Mayan figure which I can use in My Pirate Games as well, add some other figures for additional adventures, I will have to build some Temple terrain and Jungle Terrain to which I have scores of ideas. If a keep the terrain generic I will be able to use it in other games as well Pulp Adventures, Pirates Adventures, Fantasy Adventures and other Sci-Fi games as well.So I'm looking forward to this project, I will be working on my other projects 'Barge Town', 'My Terrain' and 'My Pirate Game'.
