Torri Higginson Interview

I watched an interview on Sky1 with Torri Higginson who played my favorite character on Stargate Atlantis, Dr. Elizabeth Weir. She was commenting on the new Stargate series entitled Stargate Universe and how the show is more character driven rather than plot driven and I could not agree more. I enjoyed SG1 and Atlantis was my favorite of the two series, but I continuously complained about the lack of character building in both shows. I felt we got to know a little of their lives but all in all, the story was what drove both series. I am so pleasantly surprised with Stargate Universe and I am enjoying each episode. The action comes at the right time and the character development also at the right time, plus I love that the consciousness of each person aboard the ship Destiny can travel to Earth in another body and interact with friends and loved ones with or without their knowledge. It is a creative idea and one drawn from Stargate history using the Asgard stones, just brilliant. As Torri Higginson said in the interview, each series is unique and each interesting in that regard, and I am glad that Stargate Universe is already slated for a second season.
