SGU is going to be cancelled?  Shit, it is like one of two shows I really like.

 

They're gonna finish the second season right?  I like SGU better than SGA, SGA kind went wafty in the last 2 seasons, maybe 3.

Wow, where have you been? Yes, 2nd season is finished filming and is currently finalizing editing and effects. Will continue in "spring". However, due to the sudden announcement, the 2nd season will leave the story unfinished. I'm writing letters to MGM and SyFy in an attempt to get at least one more season so the writers can get some sort of finalization written, even though it was planned for a 5 season story line.

The show (all 3 of them) are utterly terrible. The sooner its cancelled the better.

I don't follow TV series on forums and such due to risk of spoilers.  Why does the petition mention petitioning for a fourth season, what happened to a third?

 

"There are no plans for a fourth series, so if this cancellation goes through, Stargate is over."


Typo or originators own missinformation. Some people misconstrue the mid-season break for the end/beginning of a new season and maybe they think the 3rd season is about to start vs the 2nd half of the 2nd season. Basically, idk.

However, but that's beyond the point. Just signing the petition and supporting by pushing emails / letters to those in charge at SyFy and MGM may get it continued for another season or potentially picked up on another network.

FFS they finally started showing season 1 of SGU in Australia outside of cable...

I've only watched 3 episodes...

When did you stop watching it? mid-season 1 made a big change in overall style to accomodate those who didn't like the increase in drama. Personally, I liked the change as it added far more story to the show than what was prelavent in the previous shows.


I stopped watching after episode 6 of season 2, when I noticed that watching it became more of a chore than entertainment. It's just not for me. What I always liked about Stargate was the lore (aliens being the gods of our mythology), visiting new planets and meeting new cultures, the humour - it was about getting to see new things and going on an adventure.

With SG:U on the other hand, they stay on the ship most of the time, there's barely any alien contact and it's way to focused on the characters (which aren't really likeable either) and not the adventure. Oh, and: TOO MUCH DRAMA, not enough humour.

I haven't watched SG:U at all. I'm still way back on season eight of SG-1.


wow, you're right where SG1 was getting really hot. Seasons 9 and 10 and the movie Ark of Truth were absolutely great.

I hope it gets better. The show is so up-and-down that it makes me want to scream. The end of season seven was awesome, with the Prometheus going against Anubis. But then in season eight, they bring back the &^%$ing Replicators, a story arc that should have ended, oh, I don't know... about FIVE SEASONS AGO.

The show never finishes any enemies and it pisses me off. Every storyline involves one bad guy dying and being replaced by an even BADDER guy who, in turn, is betrayed by the BADDEST guy who is later killed by THE MOST EVIL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE, who is... you get my point.

I don't want to spoil it, but yes keep watching. All is resolved.

Turns out I'm near the end of season eight. Last night I got to the point where everyone teamed up to lay the beatdown on the Replicators. Good stuff because I freakin' HATED the Replicators. They were cool when they were harassing the Asgard but they just continued to get more and more lame (plus it's always fun to watch Daniel get all pissy and show just how much smarter he is than everyone else).

Yep good stuff. Talking about the replicators... have you watched any of SG:Atlantis?

It's annoying, they spend ages building up these characters and moving the storyline at a slow plodding pace, and just when it looks like things are starting to get going, they cancel it! WTF?!

And I'll miss Lt. Big boobs.

Nope, probably going to finish SG-1 and then move on to SG:A.
