What Parents Need to Know
About Stargate Universe
Parents need to know that this sci-fi series is yet another spin-off in the popular Stargate family. It's a little racier than earlier series like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, but the levels of (mostly bloodless) action violence are about the same. Though some of the show's basic concepts will be familiar to fans of other series in the franchise, the overall theme is different, since the premise centers on a group of space castaways.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's action and violence. How does it compare to other sci-fi shows you've seen? In general, does this kind of violence have more or less impact on you than what you see in more realistic crime dramas?
- How does this series fit into the overall storyline that's been created in other Stargate series? How does transporting the action to the far side of the universe make this show different? What parts of the series are similar to other Stargate shows?
- Despite their advanced technology, the characters here are truly lost in space. How does this compare to shows about people who've been shipwrecked on Earth?

- Inappropriate sexual content
Too explicit for younger than 15-16 year-olds.
While I love all things Stargate, there's no way my son will see this show when he is twelve! In the very first episode, two characters are going at it against a wall when one of the character's gets called back to duty. That's not suggestive--that's explicit. Yes, they were clothed, but it's obvious what they were doing. One character zipped up as he answered the call.
