IT'S BACK! - SGU Stargate Universe


I am delighted to inform you 'fans' that the COMET CHANNEL has begun to air SGU Stargate Universe! 🙌

Info on that channel and its affiliates can be found at:

Could this resurrect the show? 👌 I can only hope so.

I noticed that too. I was so bummed at the cliffhanger ending of the Universe, so it would be nice to find out what happens next. Not sure it will happen at this point though. Casts tend to go in all different directions when a show ends.

Oddly, I just started watching it on Amazon Prime (for free with subscription). There's such a huge difference between the regular old-fashioned reception Comet provides and the nice HD that Amazon has with this show. Comet is also showing the rebooted Outer Limits daily (and in series order!). It's a good channel.

Sadly
It will not come back

The writers ideas for season 3 were not good enough
Hence why it didn't go ahead

Not dissing things, I really enjoyed the show, I would've really liked to see it continue
But the time has past

You think the decision on whether to renew the show or now was based off an evaluation of the writer's ideas for season 3? Really? It was canceled because the ratings were low. You can blame the network and their programming choices for that and/or the writing on the existing seasons, but not on what their plans for the future were.

What was really *beep* was the cancellation of an initially planned wrap-up movie to give some closure.

The writing wasn't very good. The concepts were excellent, but the execution? The characters were generally unlikable (I wanted Col. Young killed, because he was incompetent on SO many occasions!); Eli was an immature douche/ arrogant dick, and don't get me started on Sgt. Hill. And Rush? A total dick!! They couldn't work together as a team. And the way they kept blowing the *beep* out of a MILLION year old ship? That would've made Destiny dust. Every episode followed the same formula arc, and it got tiresome. The acting, effects, direction were all fine, so yeah, the writing Killed it.

This should have been a fantastic show.

I again researched virtually all major cast members status. And was pleased to learn that all of their entertainment careers have progressed well since the series ended. 😀

Must admit that I will be sad when the COMET CABLE CHANNEL reboot of SGU ends. 😔

reply

it's not new or reboot or continuation... anything SGU-related that might be aired can only consist of the seasons 1-2 episodes.

so this ends on a major cliffhanger, to the point of there being no wrap up at all? I definitely won't watch it then... Atlantis was the last SG i watched, and damn I enjoyed it.

No.

Okay, well yes... it ends without an ending, and yet they give it an ending.

Here, spoiler to the ending of SGU, then I highly recommend watching it anyway, just because it's a great show:

The crew of the spaceship Destiny end up going into stasis. Eli, one of the main characters, does not just yet, because he has to set up another stasis pod to work for him. He doesn't do that in the finale. Instead, the show ends with the rest of the crew in stasis, and Eli standing in the observation deck looking out ahead into space as the ship travels at FTL (faster than light) speeds. Piano music plays. Eli smiles. There is hope. We know they'll continue to have great adventures, even if we don't get to see them. Then Destiny flies off, continuing its journey toward the end/beginning of the universe (universe as in the space-time continuum (which is the mission)). And it fades. The end.

Basically, they gave it a very poetic, beautiful ending.

Do we know what happened afterward? Nope, but that's okay.

It's worth watching.

Edit - here you go, the actual ending on youtube:
