Simeon a Lucian Alliance soldier who will be a recurring antagonist for season two of Stargate Universe.
Described in his casting call as:
He was a seasoned criminal before being recruited by the Alliance. He’s strong and intimidating but more crafty and wiry than big and muscular. Scary in that you’re never sure what he will do.
Simeon will be part of a six to seven episode story arc where he holds secrets about Destiny that everyone wants. Secrets that he is willing to die or kill for. Eventually he will have to face off with Rush in a serious conflict.
His involvement in the story arc, espicaly his knowledge about Destiny looks like further evidence that the Goa’uld motherships attacking the Icarus Base are actually connected to the Lucian Alliance.
What tech or secret knowledge is on the Destiny that the Lucian Alliance would want and what would they use it for?

Really, so they are recruiting the kid like in The Last Starfighter. I don’t know weather to laugh or weep I’ll tell you after the premier thankfully it’s only a small part of the show merely a device to get Eli Wallace into place to go onto the Destiny.

Two part premier airs October 2nd
SGU follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians, who must fend for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown course and unable to return to Earth. Faced with meeting the most basic needs of food, water and air, the group must unlock the secrets of the ship’s Stargate to survive. The danger, adventure and hope they find on board the Destiny will reveal the heroes and villains among them.
An ancient’s ship, the Destiny was to follow a pre-programmed mission to explore these galaxies until the Ancients ascended and left the ship unmanned. The Destiny was the second ship following after the first ship which was sent to seed the galaxies with Stargates.
A series of concept art, technical specs and set pictures that give us a closer look at the Destiny.

With so many Speculative Fiction shows and new shows coming out this fall I thought I could help sort them all out.
I find it interesting that all of the speculative fiction programming out there are on either sy-fy, Fox, CW, or ABC.

This Stargate Universe trailer is way better then the previous teaser video, watch it above.
I like the look of the ship Destiny. We finally get a look at the ship as a whole in this trailer. It has a nice sleek look that has some similarities to the ancients ships featured in Stargate Atlantis but it is different in it’s own right.
The explanation given of how they get stuck on the ship is not only plausible but has a nice Stargate feel to it. Stargate command is giving a tour of the Icarus base when they go under attack. This attack forces everyone to flee through the gate but instead of ending up at the desired location something goes wrong and they end up very far away from earth on the ship destiny. Yup, a perfect Stargate scenario that puts a smile on my face.
The feel overall gives me hope and makes me want to watch Stargate Universe when it airs October 2nd.

I want to start by saying that not all of the reaction to the news of an openly gay character on Stargate Universe has been negative. Many fans of the series have stood up to the bigotry that is spiraling around the internet. It is not necessary to respond to positive statements, but it is incumbent on me to respond to the negative ones.
I have decided to use comments from Scifi Wire because they have be responcible enough to remove the most vile, incendiary, and hateful comments from their site. These are some of the mild ones that remain.
Homophobia is the hatred, fear, stereotyping of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered. “Homophobia is just another form of sexism. For most people, their problem with GLBT people is that we do not fit nicely into the culturally acceptable gender roles assigned to us (Where is the Diversity in IDIC?).”
There are five main flavors of Homophobia exhibited in the comments:
Creno demonstrates this problem well:
Woot! Hot lesbo action FTW! Let’s see them make out. Make it happen guys (Scifi Wire).
The equation of a lesbian character with a perverse, masturbatory fantasy is a huge problem in our society. The notion that we are reducing a human down to nothing more than an object of puerile desire is repugnant!
The biggest problem with this comment is that they wanting their own ego stroked, and if the character were heterosexual, they would still be calling for meaningless sex for their own titilation.
Hopefully, the writers of the series will treat the character with more respect, and not succumb to the base lusts that would cheapen the series and rob it of the moral character the franchise has exhibted up to now.
Women are people and deserve respect regardless of their sexual orientation!
Zaphod said:
I wonder why shows never announce characters who are “openly black” or “openly hispanic” or “openly heterosexual (Scifi Wire)?”
Most of the characters on Stargate (and all series) are assumed to be heterosexual.
Starting in the 1960’s, many characters were “openly black” or “openly hispanic” for the first time and were announced as such. For decades, shows have incorporated characters dealing with racism or what it means to be an ethnic minority in society. While there have not been enough, they do exist.
Among the actors I have met, one of the most common complaints I hear is that their are not enough “Openly Female” or “Openly Asian” characters for them to play.
We need more honest portrayals of minority characters on Television and film, not less.
Someone claiming to be Warwick Sabin said:
Geez. Just change the name to “Stargay Universe” and be done with it.
The best would be if the other gay character was male and the two of them are the only ones on the show without anyone to hook up with.
Why not introduce an asexual character or someone who is a chronic masturbator (Scifi Wire)?
Really, Stargay Universe is the only thing you could think of to say?
First of all, it would be just as likely that the heterosexual characters would find themselves dealing with loneliness in a galaxy far, far away as it would for the homosexual characters.
Personally, I hope they treat the character with the same respect as they do the other characters. The franchise has never been about sex, but relationships have always played an important part.
The real Warwick Sabin contacted me disgusted about this comment:
Someone used my name to post the idiotic comment you quoted in your blog post.
I am very distressed about this, because the comment is disgusting and is the polar opposite of anything I would ever think or express.
It is lower than low that someone would attack another’s honor and good name to say such vile things.
Chris Shea said:
i personally dont wants gays in my shows but i dont want straight people either
i want peopel doign there job saving the world killing aliens helping people
cmon in 10 years of sg-1 there was barely any love stuff
they implied it and it was enought (Scifi Wire)
I bet none of the people upset about a lesbian on the show were upset about them flaunting Jack, Daniel, Carter, and Teal’c flaunting their sexuality, all of which played into the story.
I haven’t even finished with the major characters in SG-1, not to mention Atlantis. There was a lot of love stories in SG-1 and Atlantis. If one of the characters is gay, I can’t imagine it being any different.
Facepalm chose to attack the Mentally Challenged!
If nothing else sells your show, then bring in the lesbians.
I wonder when the Stargate Universe will introduce the first openly retarded character? Part of the Stargate initiative for the better integration of the mentally challenged into the work force, this openly dumb person will be in charge major decision throughout the entirety of the series.
Executive producer Brad Wright pointed out: “We no longer only depict villains, played by black actors in alien rubber costumes, as mentally deficient, we want to raise awareness for general stupidity anywhere. Our team of highly skilled writers is looking forward to the groundbreaking shift of paradigms a retard will bring to the show (Scifi Wire).”
My neice has Down’s Syndrome. Personally, I would love to see Stargate or any series feature a reallistic portrayal on someone like her. Anything that would make a good story should be considered.
It means we have a lot of work to do. Science Ficition is a genre that is suppose to be about IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination, progress, and Making a better world. The mere fact that people with such bigoted opinions can call themselves fans means that the writers have not been doing their job.
It is time to shake things up!

Stargate Universe potentially goes where no American Scifi show has gone before:
“There are at least one and potentially more gay characters on Universe,” Cooper said in answer to a fan’s question.
Wright added, “There’s actually two (GateWorld).”
In the seventh episode, we will meet Camille Wray’s (Ming-Na) long-time partner Sharon.
If this episode airs as planned, then this will be the first time an openly gay character will appear on a major Scifi show.
The Producers of Stargate Atlantis conceived of several characters as Gay, but that was never revealed to the audience on the show.
Battlestar Gallactica used its webseries to insert a gay character, but that was not incorporated in to the main series.
Knight Rider’s producers neutered their lesbian character after the pilot.
I assume that Vincent on Eureka is gay, though I only have hints to go on.
I am concerned that this choice means that Camille Wray may be fated to die in season 1.
Why? It is standard practice in Speculative Fiction movies and television to introduce a gay character, and then kill them. Remember Willow and Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Hopefully, Camille Wray will be a fully realized character in the series and not the product of an over active male fantasy. Only time will tell.
This is a bold move for Stargate Universe, and I hope they announce or better reveal on the show who the other gay character on the series is. It is about time for the GLBT community to see themselves represented in Scifi.
I have high hopes that Brad Wright and his team will do a good job with incorporating a gay character into the series. I am a huge fan of SG-1 and Atlantis. I am more worried that the Syfy network will mess it up.
