I'm wrong, a movie on next friday, and a series named StarGate Universe is slated for the fall, must have hired new writers...

Movies the next TWO Fridays in fact. The ones released on DVD at the end of the series. It'll be good to see the Ori get their nads kicked in.

The whole Stargate Universe thing sounds interesting. They're doing what I had hoped they'd do with Babylon 5 by the whole exploration route. It would have been so cool if Babylon 5 was spun off to an adventurous Earth Force squadron going "out on the rim".

All the spooky stuff that was hinted at, and those Techno Mages and Vorlons who both went out to the rim as well as other races. Coulda been wicked cool.

*sigh*
