“Stargate: Universe” starts

Tonight (Oct. 2nd) begins the latest series in the “Stargate” TV franchise, “Stargate: Universe.” This series looks slightly similar in concept to “Star Trek: Voyager” with a group of explorers ending up stranded in a distant part of the universe.  Of course, I’m just going by some of the previews I have seen.  They also seem to be amping up the drama and making it a bit reminiscent of the new “Battlestar Galactica” series.  If they do a good job bringing these elements together, this could be a very cool show.  Tonight there is a two hour season premiere.  Check your local listings and tune in.  Trailer below:
