When a research team is forced to evacuate their secret base,they find themselves on board a derelict Ancient vessel that is
many galaxies away from Earth.
`
The ship's engines throttle back. Lights illuminate dark corridors. The on-board Stargate spins to life. Its kawoosh billows into the Gate Room. Lt. Matthew Scott follows, landing
hard on the floor. He stumbles to his feet but before he can gethis bearings, a metal case and a woman fly out of the event
horizon. More people, boxes and cases are violently ejected,creating chaos in front of the active Stargate. Scott radios back
through the gate, ordering them to slow down the evacuation.

But civilians and soldiers continue pouring through.
Dr. Nicholas Rush, lessdisoriented than most,
immediately examines a nearby
console before climbing to a balcony overlooking the turmoil.Looking down on the scene, he
smiles ever so slightly. As people sort themselves out, Scott approaches MSgt. Ronald
Greer . Scott asks about their commanding officer, ColonelEverett Young. Everyone is startled when Young is hurled from
the Stargate and across the room.
The Stargate shuts down, plunging the Gate Room intodarkness. Flashlights allow Scott to locate Colonel Young, who
has a bleeding head injury. Young transfers command to Scott before falling unconscious. After summoning Lt. Tamara
Johansen, their only medic, Scott orders Greer to try and keepeveryone calm. Unsure of where they are, unable to locate Dr.
Rush, Scott and a wide-eyed civilian named Eli Wallace start off to assess their situation.
The ship's engines suddenly power up.
The two men locate Rush on an observation deck, bemused
because they are traveling at faster-than-light speed -- but not
through hyperspace, the means of interstellar travel which isfamiliar to Earth's StargateCommand. Rush concludes that
the ship, of Ancient design, isseveral hundred thousand years
old. And when an air vent in theGate Room shuts down, Rush
realizes that life support isfailing.
Scott returns to the Gate Room in search of scientists to help
Rush work on the life support system. A number of people,including Senator Alan Armstrong, demand to dial Earth. His
agitation brings on a possible heart attack. Johansen does her best to help him, Young, and the other injured.
When Scott, Greer and the scientists reach the Control Room,
they find Eli and Rush arguing. Greer, worried that Rush willworsen their situation, immediately sides with Eli and raises his

weapon, ordering Dr. Rush not to press a button on his console.Eli is convinced that the man has no idea what he is doing. Scott
quickly derails the confrontation, convincing Sgt. Greer to lower his gun. Rush pushes the button, believing it might reset the life
support system. But nothing happens -- that would have been
too easy.
The group next discovers a visual log of the Ancient ship's
journey. Originating in the Milky Way, it has traveled throughthe Pegasus Galaxy and many others -- dozens of galaxies, at
least. Rush estimates they are currently "several billion lightyears" from Earth.
Returning to the Gate Room, Scott organizes the able-bodied
into search teams. As he speaks to the assembly of frustratedcivilians, Rush opens the bag Young brought with him through
the Stargate. When the teams move out, Rush quietly picks upthe carry-all and leaves.
Meanwhile, Colonel Samantha
Carter contacts Lt. General Jack O'Neill at the Pentagon from her
command on the U.S.S. George Hammond . Just hours earlier the
Hammond ferried Dr. Rush, Eli,Senator Armstrong, and his
daughter and aide Chloe from Earth to Icarus Base -- an Earth
outpost on planet with a unique core. For two years Icarus has been home to the ninth chevron project, into which Rush has poured his life.
Eli Wallace was recruited to help Dr. Rush solve a key power
allocation problem to dial the first and only 9-chevron Stargateaddress, discovered in the Ancient database in Atlantis. A
brilliant young man with few prospects, Eli used to spend histime playing video games in his mother's basement. He solved
the "Dakara weapons puzzle" on the video game Prometheus -- planted by the U.S. military to find brilliant young minds. Rush
and General O'Neill visited him at his home, but when he provedskeptical he was beamed aboard the Hammond against his will,
and introduced to a vast new world of Stargates and space travel.His mathematical solution to the video game's puzzle should
have supplied the Stargate with the precise amount of energynecessary to activate the ninth chevron.
Eli and Rush work on the problem, only to have the Colonel

order a dinner break for the honored guests. During the meal the base came under a surprise attack by Goa'uld motherships, death
gliders, even a troop transport attempting to take the Earth base by force. The Hammond and a squadron of F-302s (led by
Icarus's Colonel Telford) defended the base while its people
were evacuated through the Stargate.
But Dr. Rush didn't dial Earth.
At the last minute, with newinsight from Eli, they figured out
how to properly dial the 9-chevron address. Angry when he
learns what Rush has done,Young is forced to proceed with
the evacuation, even though no one knows where it leads. Hesends Lt. Scott through first to scout the mystery destination. As
civilian and military personnel flee the collapsing base, they takemission supplies with them.
Many are killed in the attack, including the base's chief medical
officer, Dr. Simms. Young is the last to escape, flung throughthe Stargate by an explosive shockwave. Due to its unstable core
the planet blows up, destroying the attackers in a massiveshockwave.
Surmising they were attacked by the Lucian Alliance, Carter
reports the loss of 12 people. Since the Icarus Stargate was
active for six minutes, she presumes the more than 80 peopleunaccounted for are safe on Earth. But O'Neill informs her thatthey did not evacuate to Earth. No one knows where they have
gone.

PRODUCTION
y Stargate Universe went before cameras in February 2009, at The Bridge Studios in
Vancouver, British Columbia (where Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis were shot). Showcreators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper served as show-runners. Atlantis writer Carl Binder
joined them as an executive producer for the first season, with SG-1 and Atlantis's Joseph
Mallozzi and Paul Mullie as consulting producers in Season One.
The producers also brought on science fiction author John Scalzi as a creative consultant.
y The premiere episode of Stargate Universe was originally planned to be two hours in length, but was extended to three hours. The show premiered with a 2-hour event on October 2, 2009,with the third act of the premiere airing the following week.
y Check out the original casting breakdowns for the SGU regulars here!
y The character of Nicholas Rush was originally named David Rush.
y The character of Matthew Scott was originally named Jared Nash.
y The character of Chloe Armstrong was originally named Chloe Walker, then Chloe Carpenter.
y The character of Eli Wallace was originally named Eli Hitchcock.
y The character of Ronald Greer was originally named Ron "Psycho" Stasiak.
y Read the original casting descriptions for the show's main characters here!
y Actress Julia Benson (formerly Julia Anderson) plays 2nd Lt. Vanessa James, the officer withwhom Matthew Scott has a relationship. She previously played Willa, Lucius Lavin's wife, in theStargate Atlantis episode "Irresistible."
y The character of I.O.A. representative Camille Wray was written to have a small part with possible recurring status on the show. After producers cast well-known actress Ming-Na in the
role and saw what she could do, they gave her more to do and eventually promoted the character to "regular" status.
y "Brad and I have written up basically a one-page document that outlines the concept and thecharacters for the series. That's being used as a sales document to put together the financing. It isdefinitely very, very high on the agenda of things for MGM to get going. They're asking us.
Basically, MGM is saying to Brad and I, 'When can you have it ready? When can you physically,actually write the script and start production?' These things take time. They aren't just born and
grow on their own, unfortunately.
"... In [the] typical Stargate world, it's not really a pilot. It's a premiere. We generally sell and proceed with a full season of television.
8/8/2019 Stargate Universe Season 1 Episode 1,2,3 AIR
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stargate-universe-season-1-episode-123-air 6/12
"... What I can tell you about the third Stargate series, conceptually as we've conceived it, is thatit is a completely separate, third entity. Much more so than Atlantis was. Atlantis was much more
of a spin-off series of SG-1. It was born out of SG-1.
"The idea for this -- this is going to sound like a broken record -- but it started as a movie idea.
We originally were sitting around talking about this. We were trying to come up with ideas for aStargate feature. Not an SG-1 feature or an Atlantis feature, but a feature that would fit into theStargate franchise that we feel we've created. Because the studio, if they're going to spend
whatever X millions of dollars on a movie, it needs to appeal to a broad audience. Maybe even a bigger audience than is loyal to the show.
"Although mathematically, if everyone around the world who watched the show went to the
movie, it would be a tremendous success! Still, the studio is thinking bigger. And I think wewere thinking bigger too. We were thinking, 'How do we create a third arm to the franchise that
is very connective, and that fans will feel is born out of the material that has come before, but atthe same time is very-much something that stands alone?'
"So when it became clear that a third series was a more realistic possibility at this point, from the
studio's standpoint, we figured out how to tweak that idea and give it a little more legs than itwould have had as a one-off story. We always, in the back of our minds, even in coming up with
that concept, felt it could launch a third series. The idea was we do this big movie and then usethat to launch the series. But now that story has become the core idea for the new show.
"One of the things that we love about Stargate is that it's us. It's our military. It's our scientists.
It's our people. And we're going out into the galaxy and the universe to discover all the wondersthat are out there, and dealing with our own limitations versus things that are far more advanced
to us. That's identifiable. It's what we deal with every day in terms of medicine and science and
astrophysics. We're just babies. We would always want to maintain that in anything that wasStargate-related.
"It certainly plays into mythology that's been pre-established, but it doesn't directly relate toanything that has been in either series, SG-1 or Atlantis."
(Series co-creator Robert C. Coo per, in an exclusive interview with GateWorld)
y When Stargate Universe does get here how different do you think this series needs to be to
move the franchise forward and attract new viewers? How closely, on the other hand, does it need to stay to the established formula?
"Well, you just hit the nail on the head because it's got to be both. It has to feel like Stargate andit has to feel new. And that's the tightrope, that's the balance you have to maintain, and that's the
challenge. To put it in the simplest terms, if we had ever just done SG-2 as a series it wouldnever have worked. It's not the C.S.I. model. And it's frankly because of the heroes that our team
is.
"... The pitch [to the network] was received very well. ... We pitched an expensive series. Theidea we have is not cheap. Universe, if we do it the way we want to do it, is very expensive, and I
8/8/2019 Stargate Universe Season 1 Episode 1,2,3 AIR
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stargate-universe-season-1-episode-123-air 7/12
think we've proven ourselves, so 'Can we please have enough money to do it right this time?'And if not, then honestly I don't want to do it. Why do it wrong?
"... Stargate Universe, the idea of it, is that it is set on a ship that was part of an Ancient
experiment that was set in motion probably millions of years ago. One that they never saw to
fruition but that we can. They got a little busy with the whole ascension thing.
"Their goal for the creation of this experiment, which is to send a ship literally across the
universe, and to send one ahead of it seeding the galaxies that they encounter with Stargates. Andthat they would one day use the ninth chevron to get there, and that's wh`at Stargate Universe
is."(Series co-creator Brad Wright, in an exclusive interview with GateWorld)
y "Robert and I feel like we're growing and have new challenges to do ourselves. And we feellike we want to be the agents of that change ourselves, and feel like we're capable of coming up
with another engaging television show that is possibly more mainstream, possibly a little outside
the Stargate box. Because we know where we've been. For us to remain engaged in the showcreatively, we need to make those changes ourselves."
What do you mean by making it a little more mainstream?
"Maybe a little more character-based, a little less rooted in a sci-fi mythology. Those kinds of things -- that's all.
"I find the word 'mainstream' kind of silly. But it really does come down to characters and stories
that are engaging, and that people want to see -- that they feel like they haven't seen before."(Series co-creator Brad Wright, in an interview with GateWorld)
y "The intention here is to make this one skew young and give it a contemporary vibe. ... As anetwork, obviously we look at Battlestar Galactica, that's set the standard in terms of tensecharacter drama. Stargate does not have the intensity of a Battlestar Galactica. But it may well
be somewhere in between.
"Brad and Robert are very eager to keep the action and adventure and the sense of humor. But Ithink there's an opportunity to maybe inject a bit more dramatic intensity into the series. But
that's obviously a conversation for them as they start to script and move into development.
"What we endeavor to do each time is to introduce the franchise to a new audience, make it a bit
more contemporary, more relatable. The ambition with Universe is to skew it younger than the previous two chapters and fill it with a fresh-faced cast; and a storytelling that is more for the late2000s than it is for the 1990s.
"... What's unique about this chapter is it's going to be set entirely in space. ... That's also an
opportunity for us because as Battlestar Galactica reaches a conclusion, it's nice for us to havewithin the mix of programming a space opera that serves the audience that's really into space
operas."

(Syfy Channel president Dave Howe, in an interview with Multichannel News)
y "One of the things I'm really excited about is that we're looking for people who are a little
more identifiable and contemporary. I always thought one of the things that was attractive aboutthe original series was the 'everyman on the street' point of view that O'Neill had to science
fiction. It made the characters identifiable. They were more like we would be in a science fictionsituation, and how we would react. And that's what we're trying to do with the new show --
create characters that are going to be challenged by the situation.
"The team that ends up on the ship is not really who was supposed to go, and in some casesthey're very unprepared and unqualified to be in that situation. So they don't have all the answers
as quickly, and the challenges are greater than they would be for people who have seen it all anddon't have as far to go as characters when they encounter an incredible situation."
"... It's an all new cast. There will certainly be plenty of opportunity for cross over, and there
certainly might be some familiar faces in the premiere and in subsequent episodes. But the core
of the show is all new.
"... It says Stargate in the title, but it's also going to be something that is very different in tone. It
will certainly have a Stargate in it, but is going to be unlike anything Stargate we've ever done before."
(Co-creator Robert C. Coo per, in an interview with Stargate.MGM.com)
y "The premise of SGU is ... more intimate -- a limited group of people trapped aboard a spaceship hurtling through distant space -- and therefore necessitates a more intimate form of
storytelling."
"Stargate Universe is a series that draws on established mythology yet blazes a bold, new pathfor the franchise. It's definitely more character-centered and intimate in its exploration of the
interpersonal dynamics that will drive a lot of the shipboard developments (and, no, I'm nottalking about romance). The premise of this ship hurtling through uncharted territories offers up
unbounded story possibilities, yet also forces us to adopt a very different approach toward alienencounters and planetary investigation. Twin themes mentioned over the course of today's
conversations: survival and sacrifice."
"SGU will definitely be more of an arc-driven series. Although it will have its fair share of stand-alone and multi-parters, the show will have more season-long plot and character threads running
through every episode."
"Given the premise of the series, it will be darker and more serialized than SG-1 or Atlantis. Thatsaid, there will still be plenty of opportunities for humor and the series will be firmly rooted in
established Stargate mythology. Yes, the series will focus on survival, but it will also focus onexploration and adventure -- and, by extension, the occasional alien encounter as well."
(Consulting producer Jose ph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
y "Brad and Rob did a terrific job of kicking things off in thrilling fashion. The script is fast-
8/8/2019 Stargate Universe Season 1 Episode 1,2,3 AIR
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stargate-universe-season-1-episode-123-air 9/12
paced and fun; its characters unique and engaging. My favorite: Dr. David Rush [later renamed Nicholas]. Oh, he's going to be a handful. Originally planned as a two-parter, Brad and Robert
quickly discovered that there was simply too much story for such a tight frame, so the seriesopener is now looking like a three-parter."
(Consulting producer Jose ph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
y "[The show] is much more character-driven, much more of a drama. Survival is the main
thing. Much less interaction with alien species and more about who's in charge, who's going torun this ship, who's going to survive. There's two or three deaths, in fact, in the first three
episodes, and a suicide by episode six. So this is a harsh world."
"It's got more reality, but then there are fantasy elements. There's nothing wrong with that. Therewill still be adventures to be had. But I think that Robert Cooper and Brad Wright have done an
awful lot with Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis [and] they've been looking for something slightlydifferent. I think they want to try to propel this craft through character rather than through
action."
"A point came about a year ago where I thought, 'I've kinda had it. I've kinda done that. I needsomething different to keep this process new.' And I went to Los Angeles and spoke to some
television companies, some stuff was offered to me, and this was the one that I liked the best.And to be honest, if you had told me that before, I'd have said you're crazy. Because it's not a
world that I'd have thought I could inhabit. But [it was] suddenly a drama opening up in space,[and] in the past that was something that was slightly missing from the genre."
(Actor Robert Carlyle, in an interview with IGN.com [SCI FI advertising u p front])
y "The producers, particularly Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, these guys are the main reasonwhy I'm here. They explained it extremely well when they got in contact with me at first. The
first thing I said was: 'Why do you want me in it?' The way they put it was very interesting: Theysaid they wanted someone who can 'make unattractive things seem quite attractive.' I said: 'I'm
your man.'"
"[Justin Louis] is another terrific actor [on the show]. Lou Diamond Phillips is in there as well.David Blue, a good young actor. And there's a couple of youngsters, a guy called Brian J. Smith,
who's working out extremely well, and a girl called Elyse Levesque -- she's actually fromVancouver, a wonderful young actress, the first thing she's ever done."
"I'm very happy to be here, that's all I can say. I've done an awful lot of nitty-gritty type of stuff
in my career over the last 15 to 20 years or so, and I felt it was time for a change. I wanted
something different. When I came out to Los Angeles about a year ago, I talked to varioustelevision people with various ideas. I put it out that I was looking for something that was goingto interest me. And I was very fortunate, three or four things came in. This one, for me, was by
far and away the best."(Actor Robert Carlyle, in an interview with Multichannel News [SCI FI advertising u p front])
y "What a day! We were on Icarus Base shooting a couple of HUGE scenes featuring Rush,Young, Scott, Chloe, Eli, Telford, Senator Armstrong, Dr. Damji, Lt. James, Sgt. Riley, Park,

Brody, and Franklin. The set is spectacular, I'm loving the new gate set-up, and, surprisesurprise, really loving those Icarus military uniforms. Stylin'!
"... Andy Mikita, directing the three-parter, is running a tight ship -- but everyone is enjoying
themselves immensely. I got some nice behind-the-scenes pics of Bobby and Justin along with
the actor playing Telford (not sure if his identity has been announced yet but I have to say -- anddid say -- I've enjoyed his work, especially his performance in my very favorite Mark Wahlbergmovie. And, no, it's not the movie you¶re thinking of. Or the next one. Or the one after that.).
"Speaking of announcements, apparently TPTB are just getting their ducks in a row in
preparation for the big announcement that should be coming ... very soon. A truly phenomenalcast!"
(Consulting producer Jose ph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
y "It's not a new Stargate. It is, in fact, a very old Stargate. It's the prototype. It has a limited
range, a far more limited range than the Milky Way or Pegasus Galaxy Stargates. For example, if
the Destiny is traveling through a galaxy it can't go anywhere in that galaxy -- it can only gowithin a limited range.
"That's why they put it on a ship, so as it moves through the galaxy it can move across it andexplore Stargates that have been seeded by other ships prior to the launch of the Destiny, who
knows how many hundreds of years before."(Co-creator Brad Wright, in an interview at Moviehole)
y "I was up there doing a snippet of a scene with Robert Carlyle and I'll be going back March 17for another scene in part 2 of the two-hour. I had told Brad that if he wanted help in the launch of Universe I'd love to be a part of it. (Truth be known, I missed those guys 'n gals.) So I'll make a
few slim appearances in the first half-dozen episodes, or so.
"Again, details are sketchy, but I've already shot the first of my scenes so the ball is rolling.Andy Mikita is directing the two-hour, so we had a good hug and huge laugh."
(Actor Richard Dean Anderson, in a message at RDAnderson.com)
y "I play a character called Dr. Nicholas Rush. He's a scientist, very much a kind of driven man.
He has his own motives, you know, and you're not quite sure what his motives are -- even Rushhimself sometimes I don't think [knows]. What happens in the beginning of the show is that Rush
[and the cast] are propelled through a Stargate into the ninth Chevron address, and the ninthChevron address is the Holy Grail of the Chevron. When they get through there, they think
they're in another world. In fact, they're in a massive spaceship. This thing is as if you put fiveaircraft carriers together. This has been sent out hundreds of thousands of years ago by the
Ancients and no one was ever meant to be there.
"So when they get there, they find this ship which is basically falling apart. How are they goingto survive on this thing? And the first [priority], which is the title of our first three episodes, isair . So they can actually breathe. That's the first, basic step."

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/stargate-universe-season-1-episode-123-air 11/12
(Actor Robert Carlyle at the Syfy advertising u p front [via IGN.com])
y "At the beginning of the show, Rush has transported a team through a Stargate to what they
believe is another world. In fact, when they get there, they realize they're actually on another ship, a space ship, a massive spaceship which has been floating through the universe for
hundreds of thousands of years, launched by the Ancients long ago -- unmanned, picking upinformation, gathering data.
"So once they get there -- and they're relieved to get there because they have a very tricky
situation to get there -- Rush then tells them: 'You can¶t go back. You can never go home.' Thenthings start to get really, really tense. A battle for leadership takes place on the ship. We have
three deaths in the first three hours. A suicide in episode five, I think.
"This is a hearty band. They're literally billions of light years away, on the very far side of theuniverse. And the thought of that is quite terrifying. So it has to be character driven. This piece
will stand and fall on the characters, for sure."
(Actor Robert Carlyle at the Syfy advertising u p front [via Multichannel News])
y "It was terrific having Rick [Richard Dean Anderson] back. He's just a good-natured, easy-going guy. A lot of fun to be around. When I told him we had added a French bulldog to the brood since last we spoke, his reaction wasn't the usual 'Are you crazy?!' but a grin and a 'Bless
your heart.'"(Consulting producer Jose ph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
y "Yesterday, we sat down and watched the director's cut of 'Air' I and II. Even without thevisual effects and the music, it was mighty damn impressive. MIGHTY damn impressive! A big
congratulations to show creators/runners Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the entire cast and
crew, and go-to-guy Andy Mikita who directed his big ol' heart out in treating us to one hell of aspectacular premiere."(Consulting producer Jose ph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
