Ignore the negative reviews from fanboys who are upset that it does not have the exact same look and feel of Atlantis and SG1. This is without a doubt the consistently best show in the Stargate franchise.
The tone of Stargate Universe is far darker than that of the two previous shows, it is also far less predictable. There is more character conflict, which helps create good suspense and drama. You don't know who can be trusted, particularly Dr Rush - masterfully played by Robert Carlyle. Dr Rush and Colonel Young (Justin Louis) - the reluctant leader of the expedition - are two of the most notable and interesting characters on the show. Justin Louis plays the seasoned leader type character perfectly, and adds a lot of weight and authenticity to the show. Jamil Walker Smith also deserves credit for his portrayal of MSG Greer, a combat seasoned marine with a mysterious past. He is a man of few words, but tends to have a short fuse in non-combat situations. He helps add a very authentic military feel to the show.
All in all, this is a very enjoyable ride that will have you at the edge of your seat, and leave you wanting more.
