    No, that was Sha're in the pilot. Which was never shown again.
    Indeed (no pun intended), Sha're (Daniel's wife) was shown to be fully nude (not just topless) in the original airing of the episode. The scene was cut/edited for any repeat viewings. Nothing to do with a planet where people don't age though...

    IMO...showing a little skin tastefully is a lot well...a lot...better isn't quite the right word but I can't think of the perfect word atm (>.<)...Universe was basically lots of sex for the sake of having sex to try and boost ratings with younger viewers...it added nothing to the show.

    All I took out of it was what was her name (wasn't it Chloe?) completely friendzoned Eli and used him for support while she slept with the LT...so it was the generic stereotypical nerd story which added nothing really to the show.

    By the time the show started taking off it was being bounced around airing times left and right, with no pun intended (Well maybe a little :p ) its destiny, was to be cancelled.

    I loved Stargate SG1 and Atlantis atleast as much as Star Trek but Universe was so awful and boring I couldn't make it past the first few episodes.

    It enraged me beyond human comprehension to know they canceled Atlantis so they could focus on SGU. It was among the finest Science Fiction Series ever written in my opinion and was cut way too short. We never got to see the Firefly girl or Robert Piccardo really stretch their wings character wise.

    Just... quoted for truth.

    SG-1 was already dragging on a bit, and it really wasn't the same without O'Neill, but between unknown Pegasus aliens (like the ones from The Daedalus Variations) and the remaining Wraith, there was still plenty of room for a couple of seasons. (Also, Woolsey. :grin:)

    I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't agree that Atlantis was prematurely cancelled. I was rooting for Todd. One of the best supporting characters to grace our sci-fi screens outside of Trek.

    The point remains.

    Sorta off topic...but Universe was so slow to start...

    SGU's main problem was that it was a transparent effort on the part of the channel to get a two-for-one special by pulling in the Stargate fans with the name and the BSG reboot fans with the style and atmosphere. It was a cynical move by a company with so much disdain for the fans of its earlier shows that it changed the spelling of its name in an effort to make itself more attractive to a more mainstream audience, and people weren't in the mood for it.

    It's a pity. Good people worked on that show, including one I consider a friend, and they worked hard. But I think what the network wanted from the show in the first place was just wildly misguided.

    From what I read there was plans for another season, which were then turned into plans a feature length movie (SG-1 has done a few), and then turned to nothing. :(

    The problem with ENT is the TCW was good, but it was draggggggged out a little too much. And yeah a lot of people here so far seem to agree S4 wad just getting really good then the show got cut down. Some of the best stuff was in season 4 (incl. In a mirror darkly and the beginnings of the romulan war).
