Brad Wright on 'Stargate Universe': 'We haven't given up'
Brad Wright on ‘Stargate Universe’: ‘We haven’t given up’
Be of good cheer this holiday season, “Stargate Universe” fans. Syfy may not have shot down the Destiny just yet.
“We haven’t given up on finishing the story we started,” executive producer and series co-creator Brad Wright said via email Thursday.
On Dec. 16, Syfy confirmed on Twitter that it wouldn’t pick up “SGU” for a third season. (It is set to air the remaining 10 episodes of Season 2 in spring 2011.) The “Stargate” franchise helped turn Syfy, then Sci Fi, into a cable network player when “SG-1” moved to the network in 2002.
Wright was on a trip when he heard about the cancellation, but since returning he has been exploring options for continuing the series in some form. He and officials at franchise owner MGM have been discussing several options, he said, and he’s thankful for fan support.
“It’s heartening to see so many people upset about Syfy’s cancellation of the show,” he wrote, “but it’s important to remember that their license fee represented only a portion of our total budget.”
Now, before you get on Twitter to falsely declare that the franchise is saved, read this paragraph carefully. This news does not mean any plan or timetable has been created for the revival of either “SGU” or the “Stargate” franchise, or any deal has been struck with a network. It simply means that the parties are looking into a lot of possibilities, but much work remains to be done before we can celebrate.
So be patient, keep the faith, continue campaigning for the show’s return and be sure to watch the final 10 episodes of “Stargate Universe” Season 2 live on Syfy. (For other ideas, check out this article from Joseph Dilworth at Pop Culture Zoo.)
Eli Wallace may have the raw talent Dr. Rush never had, but his motivation for anything aside from video games and cereal was at record lows before stepping aboard the Destiny. Now he must push his wunderkid genius to the level of Rush’s experience while dishing advice to Chloe, working on his open ended Kino documentary and being the resident sci-fi pop culture guru.
But as it happens, David Blue wanted to be Big Bird before wanting to be Eli Wallace:
I’m a trained triple-threat. And as much as I love my acting career, sometimes I miss singing and dancing.
My favorite class in college was Humanities. I loved learning about different cultures, religions and histories.
I went to Space Camp.
The first full song I ever taught myself on piano was Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel”.
I hang up photos of my friends everywhere in my set trailer to make me feel at home.
My favorite board game is Stratego.
The first thing I ever wanted to be as a kid was Big Bird. I was heartbroken when my parents reminded me I couldn’t be him, because there already was one.
I used to collect TV Guide’s that had my favorite shows on the cover. I had an entire drawer full of them.
I was obsessed with LEGOs as a kid. I had a million of them and built entire worlds… then proceeded to destroy them.
When I was young, I’d beg my parents every week to let me stay up to watch Saturday Night Live. They eventually got tired of me bugging them and one night said if I “could stay awake until it started, I could watch.” I fell asleep at 10PM.

10 Things You Didn’t Know about Brian Jacob Smith
He’s Colonel Young’s right-hand man, Greer’s partner in crime and Chloe’s confidant. And it seems every week, at least one crew member of the Destiny is saved as a result of his selflessness and heroism.
You know him as Lt. Scott. Now get to know Brian J. Smith:
When I was a kid we lived out in the country for awhile in TX - we had miniature horses, rabbits, a poodle named Rocky and an ATV.
I’m really into military history, and spend way too much time reading about the Civil War, Vietnam, and Iraq/Afghanistan. I’m interested in how war changes us.
I’ve got two MUCH younger brothers - I’m 8 years older than Cory and 14 years older than Billy. I was the designated diaper changer.
If I could have any other career, I’d be a musician of some kind - a conductor, pianist, or a drummer in a rock band.
I’m not a morning person at all, probably due to years of doing theatre. My ideal schedule is waking up at 10:30am and going to bed around 2:00am.
I was a very skinny kid growing up, so I started working out in college to get a little more size and to gain some confidence as well. It’s been a big part of my life ever since.
I got interested in Eastern philosophy when a teacher had us read ‘Zen And The Art Of Archery’ when I was at Julliard. Meditation has become a part of my daily routine, and I try to do it for 30 minutes a day.
If I could have a home anywhere in the world, it’d be in the mountains of western North Carolina.
One of the coolest gigs I’ve had was getting to work in London for six weeks shooting a remake of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. That was my first time in Europe, and I loved it!
One of my first jobs was delivering pizza for Pizza Hut when I was in high school. It was actually a cool job - I got to drive around town and listen to music all day. And everyone is happy when the pizza guy shows up!
