Stargate Universe
The co-creator of ‘Stargate Universe’ finally explains the show’s darker vision—and no regrets
This is a fantastic in-depth article and interview with Robert C. Cooper by Ed Gross. Here’s an excerpt:
“Unlike the sleek, mission-ready vessels seen in earlier Stargate series, Destiny is a relic: partially functional, unpredictable and, in many ways, operating on its own agenda. The crew doesn’t control where it goes or why—it drops out of faster-than-light travel only long enough for them to gather essential supplies through the Stargate before moving on again.
Survival, not exploration, becomes the driving force. That sense of instability carries directly into the show’s characters. Leading the military contingent is Colonel Everett Young (Louis Ferreira), a capable but emotionally strained officer trying to maintain order under impossible circumstances.”

The fourth monthly reading series continues in Mr. Mugs – Rockets Away! – Part 2 by Martha Kambeitz and Denise Burns.

Here is this month’s chapter.
Listen to the sound clip here:
Chapter 69: It’s Story Time
It’s Story Time
There Once Was a Puffin
Oh, there once was a Puffin
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island
In the bright blue sea!
He ate little fishes,
That were most delicious,
And he had them for supper
And he had them for tea.
But this poor little Puffin
He couldn’t play nothin’,
For he hadn’t anybody
To play with at all.
… to be continued next month!
So he sat on his island
And he cried for awhile, and
He felt very lonely
And he felt very small.
Then along came the fishes
And they said, “If you wishes,
You can have us for playmates
Instead of for tea!”
So they now play together
In all sorts of weather,
And the Puffin eats pancakes
Like you and like me.
