Insanely Intelligent

Bill from Mount, UK asks:  Which race from all Stargate series is your favorite and why?

David Blue answers:  I love the Asgard. Not only were they insanely intelligent and quite complimentary to us wacky, trouble-causing humans, but they also spoke in such a fashion that everything was insultingly hilarious.

Staying Centered

Tim from Salem, OR asks:  What is the biggest challenge you face making this series?

Brian J. Smith answers:  Staying true to what we've set out to do from day one, Tim - which is to make a great character drama about people trying to survive in the wilds of space. We have to let SGU be its own show and let it stand on its own two feet, which can be challenging when you're working off the established mythology of a fifteen year franchise! But I'm very proud of how we've stayed centered this year and how we have continued to not just do good work, but to grow from episode to episode.

Alien Race

Don’t Know About Rush

Jessi from Garden City, KS asks:  Who is your favorite character on the show other than yourself and why?

Alaina Huffman answers:  I like Rush.  I think there is so much about him that we don't know... hope we have a few seasons to find out what he's really up to.  :)

Brooklyn Loft

Callum from Scotland asks:  If you could live anywhere in the Stargate Universe where would it be?

The Big Kid

Jessi from Garden City, KS asks:  Who is your favorite character on the show other than yourself and why?

Brian J. Smith answers:  I really get a kick out of Colonel Young. I love how "over it" this guy is while being a great leader at the same time. And Louie, being the very thoughtful actor that he is, always lets us see the raw nerves underneath the composure. It's a jarring experience to watch him perform on set, though, because Louie is this big kid - a real joker and it's often hard to keep a straight face during a take, especially if he's in a playful mood that day. I'm amazed at how quickly he can switch from his real persona into Colonel Young the minute the director calls "action!"

Gear Up!

Nathaniel from England asks:  If you were able to control Destiny for the day in real life, what would you do and where would you go?

Elyse Levesque answers:  So much of the ship remains unexplored. I think I would put together a team, gear up in suits and search the deepest parts of the ship that are unsafe due to depressurization. I mean, there's got to be a lido deck somewhere on board!

Cheesy Time

Brett from Ashford asks:  What makes SGU so fun to be a part of?

David Blue answers:  Cheesy time: The people. Amazingly hard-working and fun crew. Devoted and extremely talented cast. Passionate and creative writers/producers. Addicting and beautiful city. Some really rewarding (either funny or emotionally draining) acting moments to challenge myself with. Hmmm... am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah, and a lot of puppies to play with on set. Yeah. That'll do it.

More Than Three?

Nathaniel from England asks:  If you were trapped on Destiny in real life, what luxury items would you want to have with you? Item limit of 3.

Brian J. Smith answers:  Three? Only three??? Well, I'd want one of those deluxe coffee makers with a five year's supply of coffee and espresso. Rock Band would be a must - I think Eli and Scott would have some epic guitar battles. And a complete entertainment center - flat screen TV, surround sound, DVD player and a fully stocked library of all my favorite movies. I know that's technically more than three, but I consider the entertainment center ONE complete item with lots of different parts.
