Why sgu ended

At the ending of the show, the squad goes into a state of equilibrium for the long journey, excluding Eli who has to stay alert for his broken unit. Before the life support system shuts down, Eli has only fourteen days to fix his unit. The show closes with Eli whose future is uncertain and he is staring out into space. A fan eventually took to Kickstarter in order to help to finance for season 3. Unsurprisingly, this campaign was not able to reach the goal and it fell far short. Even the champaign gathered the money in a dubious event, there was no pronouncement that the show would have returned.

A comic named Stargate Universe: Back To Destiny arrived in to resolve the cliffhanger of the show. This comic was played by Louis Ferreira and it opened with Colonel Young that demonstrates the failed attempts of Eli to fix his unit. Eli further finds some hidden units on the destiny and discovers new characters.

Since the original creative team was absent, the tenet of this comic is arguable. However, it can be the only resolution for the fans as the release of the third season is uncertain. Info Pool. The crew of the Destiny came up with a solution to bypass the attacks, they should go into stasis for about three years. The Stargate franchise has been put on hold indefinitely until someone finds the right time to return it to our television and movie screens.

Do you see a pattern here? The scene fit perfectly with the finality of it all and Col. The Lucian Alliance thing never got a feasible conclusion, but I seriously never understood how the crew of the Destiny could have helped in that fiasco after dumping most of the Alliance members on a planet and not being on Earth to help in the invasion itself.

Sure, communication stones could have been a conduit to assist in stopping the invasion, but I digress. We had closure for lot of characters, for instance Camile having time to tell Sharon to move on, Matt being able to see his son one last time, and Dr. Lisa Park being able to see one last time before going into a deep sleep. He was the heart of the show and it was a nice touch to end with him gazing at the stars of what could possibly be ahead of him.

Plus, a little voice inside my head is still telling me that Eli found a way or will find a way to fix the his stasis pod and is sleeping right along with his newfound family, because as he stated in the episode, he is smarter than Dr. Rush and more reliable when the going gets tough. There is so much to go on with this finale, but I will save some of it for the upcoming Two Guys Discuss Stargate Universe with our editor Jon Lachonis so I will wrap this piece up with a last few thoughts.

First, the shutting down of the Destiny was like the closing of the Stargate franchise in general. Very nicely done. This is why I feel as if the writers went back to the drawing board once the cancellation was announced and wrote a proper ending.

Albeit, I could be wrong, but at least, again, we got closure. TV, movies, and writing are my life and I will combine the trinity till the day I die. I also am a budding filmmaker as well. Disappointed in the ending. Left more questions than answers. The series was just getting good and hitting its stride. I looked forward to watching each week. Hopefully there is more to come some way.

Someone will realize this and bring the series out of stasis. Well, I have to say that I thought the series finale was OK. I am with the author in believing that Eli found the fix for the stasis pod and things will be OK. But that still doesn't help my son get over it. He really feels for the characters on the show and was feeling pretty down after the shows end tonight and he is 9. Lots of things were tied up, but overall, they could bring back SG:U with little work in the script.

Here's to hoping! The last 10 episodes were the best in the entire series, for syfy to pull the plug before they were even aired was such a travesty. At that price I'll bet the sales would be better than the ratings. TV Execs are just too stupid to deserve any control over these things. It wouldnt be the first time Remember Farscape! Just when it was getting good They decided to end it with the ridiclous ending and then redid the ending with peacekeeper wars..

That series could have run for at least five more years and they just unplugged —Just Dumb!!! I loved this series from the beginning, and to see it blooming like a flower and cut off from its roots is just sad. I really hope they bring this back. Come on, there's gotta be an Eli in our world that can come up with something good to continue this series.

This just blows. I look forward each week to this show, I mean nothing has come close to the heart than SGU. For goodness sakes … it's a TV show folks. It's not real people facing the Drones it's actors doing their job. If there is sadness it's that so many good people are now out of work. Which should remind you of a real-life situation that DOES need your attention.

Nobody ever dies in science fiction, dead shows get resurrected and after all this WAS a spin-off. Had you rather it go on and on until it no longer had life and displeased everybody like so many other worn out shows have done?

Oh please, stop your whining and go find another something to lavish your fanboi adoration onto. There really is no reason to act like a brat just because fans of the show have lost something that they greatly enjoy watching week after week. I'm sure that there's something in your life that you would not want taken away from you. If you like to play golf, and you were told that you were no longer allowed to do so, well.. You're obviously not a science fiction fan.

If something you immensely enjoyed was just ripped away from you, you'd feel the same way. Also, coming onto a forum just to spew an attitude toward people trying to fight for something they want is pretty pathetic. So in your own words, stop your whining.

Go find something positive to do, because if coming on here and whining about us is all you really have to do, I feel sorry for your pathetic excuse for an existence. Doug, you're dumb… we'd rather the story be completed as planned, with a 5 year story arc. I do believe we watch shows because for some of us, it is an outlet in a world like ours that has nothing like it to offer. I loved the show from the beginning and would imagine what would happen next only to be surprised when it did something unexpected.

Sure people should move on, but when we finally find a show that's worthy of our time, just to have to stripped away, then the search begins again and that just sucks.

It takes a great show to make me feel like I was part of the movie like an actual crew member. I cried in parts and was also very attached to some characters Eli, I need to learn from you. I put myself in their situation and I became protective of the crew. No other show has ever done that for me. Friends lasted forever before they pulled the plug and it was a so-so show. Who do I need to plead with to get this show back up and running or at least produce one heck of a movie off of this.

I think this was the better of the Stargate series, i really enjoyed all of it, its a shame we dont get to see more seasons of this great series. I agree with George, put it on iTunes and charge, I would bet that enough people would pay enough money to make this show financially viable. The beginning of the end of quality sci-fi shows was when SciFi Friday was moved. Jeez, if I didn't know they were cancelling it that episode would have seemed like a season finale and that I had lots more to look forward to.

This show just kept getting better and better and I thought it was great from the start. Although I kind of agree with Mike about the Lucian Alliance story arc.

I'd much rather see stories of Destiny making its journey with this ragtag crew than having Earthly affairs keep cropping up. What a shock and disappointment to find out it was cancelled though. I so hope they bring it back somehow. I like the idea of charging for new episodes. I'd definitely give that up if I could simply buy episodes of shows I like and watch them online.

Sometimes nothing at all once shows are done for the seasons. Anyways, that iTunes things sounds cool, except that I hate iTunes, another service about the same price or a seasonal rental rights would be convenient and allow people to prove they like it. When series come out on dvd though it's better, no drm and no space on the computer taken up by tons of tv….

Oh and I am thankful, that for once, one of the few series I get into , even though it is cancelled, gave a REAL ending, with some closure and sensibility behind it. Plain and simple, I literally worked my schedule around the airing of each new episode and I've seen every on eat least 3 times.

They can't end this show. Why not cancel one of the others like atlantis or sg-1 I never even found either of those remotely interesting which is why I was hesitant on watching sgu but as I said, I'm literally obsessed with the show and they need to keep it going… Hopefully they can reach some sort of agreement and bring it back. Sooo sad it's over,the finale was so bittersweet! My favorite show. Loved it from the beginning. Such rich character development, honestly very sad this "family" is gone.

I know the producers gave up on a movie, I hope they rethink their position. Great acting and intergration of characters in a very interesting concept and set design on a limited budget.

This show and especially the last story is truly a complement to this syfy series where "Theme, Development and Variation" defines what "Art" really is and puts us in the story and leaves us wanting for more, much like the original movie did so many years ago. Great Job and a kudos and shout out to all the Writers and the all the Actors, and staff who showed off their abilities in accomplishing their trade for the Viewer. Best Regards, and now what do we watch in all those channels of uninteresting stuff and garbage?

A great artist once said, "the worse thing that could happen to the Artist is that One gets "No reaction" from the audience for their Artists work". This series made its mark by setting the bar higher for future Syfy TV series. I'm gonna miss all of these characters. Every last one of them. And that's about as high a compliment as I can give. What I won't miss are Stargate fans in general. The most whiny, bitter, petulant, childish, silly group of fans on the planet.

A group of people who want every Stargate fans done the same way, in the same "safe" Disney-like fashion. I never had a problem with folks not liking this show. But the ridiculous campaigns and websites created early on to press for the cancellation of the series was as absurd as anything I've come across from a collection of fans.

Bravo to the actors, directors, designers and, yes, writers of SGU. Cancellation is not necessarily indicative of quality. Some good shows die early just as some bad shows overstay their welcome. SGU falls in the former category. Hear hear! I can't believe they cancelled the show because of some whining offended idiots who couldn't handle their show , which already ran for about 10 years, being cancelled.

The refusal of trying something new is truly indicative of how unqualified these people are for belonging to a fanbase like this one, of how incapable they are to judge a show. I've watched all the Stargates over the years. This was the most disappointing wrap-up I've seen. Nothing settled, nothing closed. I completely disagree with the author. It made for a great season finale but did nothing to close out arguably the best Stargate series of the franchise.

The core problem is likely that it was actually quite a bold and experimental new direction for the Stargate franchise, and it just didn't connect with viewers. Old-school fans who enjoyed the humor of Stargate-SG1 and Stargate Atlantis were surprised at the much darker tone of Stargate Universe , while viewers who would have enjoyed that style of series didn't expect their tastes to be met by a Stargate show in the first place. Engler's account rings true that Syfy really did try to save Stargate Universe ; he was able to explain why the network tried different time-slots, based on successes with shows like Warehouse But, sadly, some experiments simply don't work out, and Stargate Universe failed to perform well enough to be renewed.

The story of Stargate Universe was ultimately continued in a tie-in comic, although the canonicity of that story is questionable, given none of the original creators were involved in the comic book run. Sadly, the cancellation of Stargate Universe essentially led to the end of the entire Stargate franchise, and there hasn't been a new series on TV since Tom Bacon is one of Screen Rant's staff writers, as well as a Peer Mentor for new writers and a member of the Care Team, offering support and a listening ear to members of the Comics group.
