Stargate Universe
So I was trying to avoid anything and everything to do with this thing due to the whole canceling of SGA for SG-90210. However, I found out that a certain actor was going to be on it, and had to look into it a bit more because, I must admit, said actor was totally teenage crush material when I was younger.
I'll list the name beneath the cut for those avoiding even that much, but have to say I have a bad feeling given said actor's current involvement in other projects.
Spoilers Below
Lou Diamond Phillips is supposedly cast as the officer in charge of the ship. However, I remember reading way back when that the "older" officer is injured/killed/left on Earth/some such thing early on, leaving the "kids" to fend for themselves.
Give that LDP is currently doing a charity golf tournament, and has signed up for "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" for another charity...
So I figure there's a couple of options: A) He's on break/hiatus when he's doing the charity work, B) The scripting and such for SGU has changed drastically since the initial releases, C) He's reoccurring at the SGC, trying to contact the ship and such, D) He's done his bit and is done.
And yes, this dyke is completely ignoring the casting of Ming Na as a lesbian until such time it is proven that TPTB don't turn the poor thing into a huge stereotype with absolutely no personality of character depth of her own.
Edit: The actor in question just Twittered something that kind of supports one of the theories:
LouDPhillips Leaving for Costa Rica in a week. Won't be back in Vancouver for Stargate until August or later, I think maybe the last couple of episodes.
Thoughts?
