According to this casting call, SyFy’s “Stargate Universe” is adding a villain from the “Stargate: SG-1” dossier. SPOILERS AHEAD! Perhaps the suggestions from fans to the SGU writing team has rubbed off on them to draw a connection to a rival faction in our part of the universe from our history with SG-1’s plotline. Check out this casting call for a character called, Simeon:

SIMEON (GUEST LEAD) – 35-45. Simeon is a dangerous Lucian Alliance soldier. He was a seasoned criminal before being recruited by the Alliance. He’s strong and intimidating but more crafty and wiry than big and muscular. Scary in that you’re never sure what he will do. He also holds secrets that are desperately sought after by Earth and those on board Destiny – secrets he would die or worse, kill to protect. He’s an antagonist for several episodes before he finally comes into serious conflict with Robert Carlyle’s character Rush and they are forced to face off. RECURRING. This role will work 6-7 episodes (Please submit all ethnicities)

What are your thoughts on this casting call? Is this continuity a strong tie-in with the Stargate history or a poor choice of a villain?
