I Just saw the latest episode of ABC 2′s Good Game and was a bit surprised at the apparent axing of one the shows hosts, Junglist replaced by a female presenter going by the name of Hex.

Stargate Universe Spotlight
September 24, 2009
Unlike previous Stargate episodes, SG:U looks to to draw heavily from the extremely successful Battlestar Galatica in terms of style, gritty visuals and mood. The trailer is very reminiscent of BSG and is devoid of the camp factor previous Stargate’s are infamous for.
