According to this report over at Gateworld, Richard Dean Anderson and Gary Jones are set to reprise their roles as General Jack O’Neill and Walter Harriman, respectively, on SyFy’s Fall premiering show Stargate Universe. The Gateworld team is in Vancouver, BC for Creation Entertainment’s official Stargate convention and were told by series co-creator Brad Wright that Anderson would be appearing in “episodes”. Yes, plural. Later in the day Jones acknowledge his possible multiple appearances as well. Although it’s been said that Universe is going to be a different spin on the franchise, having a link to the greater Stargate tapestry as a whole is a very wise move. Stay tuned to Pop Culture Zoo for more on Stargate Universe over the next few months.

It’s a marketing move. So many fans have said ‘thanks but no thanks to SGU’ but if they stick in an SG1 actor, the fans will come back, at least for those episodes.
