Stargate Universe

[MrHorus]

You wuss.

Oh come on, if you didn't find that scene fucking rough then you're dead inside

 

[Scouse]

Good ending to the show. Also, agree that it had come on well, but the drones are shite.

Shame really. Liked the characters.

 

[Deebs]

Yeh the drones just reminded me of the replicators.

 

[Scouse]

Yep. And they were the worst enemy in Stargate.

I just can't give enough about machines enough for them to create real "aaargh, the characters are in peril" in me. Maybe is because you don't feel like they ever "win" when they beat the machines. You just wish they could have pulled the plug.

Ra, on the other hand...

 

[Deebs]

I feel ya. Organic opponents always felt better than an AI or mechanical one. I think they overplayed the use of the drones in this episode.

 

[MYstIC G]

Ra was fucking awful and blown up in the movie?

 

[Zenith.UK]

Maybe he meant Apophis.

So what's the general opinion of the ambiguous end?

Spoiler

After enjoying the FTL shockwave, did he at least try to repair the pod in the two weeks or did he just turn off the lights?

Or he could have tried to repair the pod for 13 days, give up, wake up Young and take his place.

431 had the good sense to get out and save themselves the effort. Dire show, dire ending, good riddance.

I actually watched it all hoping it would get more stargatey.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Overall it wasn't bad, just annoying when they used plotdevices so much and forget some big problems later on, just because it's convinient.

Also didn't help that sometimes these "smart scientists" and soldiers work like complete numpties

So what you are saying is that it needed more tits right? I agree!

Me too

It's hard....to beat carter semi-naked in SGA though.

Maybe with a semi-naked MacGyver, ooooh.

Just to drive the point through;

What SGU needed is...

Yes.

We actually enjoyed the show here. People that were expecting it to be "stargate" were always going to be disappointed. This series was never about the "planet of the week" which everyone loved with the original series, it was all about the characters.

Enjoyed the overal development of the series, but probably cursed by the typical case of it being above the head of the modern day American! Too many great series are cancelled due to these clueless people, damn FOX!!! They are the main culprits to cancelling things I like. lol

 

[cHodAX]

That Julia Benson vid is incredible btw, they are truely epic.

SGA wasn't "planet of the week" and while it never held a candle to SG1, it was far more enjoyable than SGU. Stargate is (should be) about not taking itself too seriously. SGU took itself too seriously.

 

[Scouse]

Some people have an appetite for a serious attempt at sci-fi. There's enough mindless cheesy shite on the telly.

 

[ST^]

Obviously not enough people otherwise it wouldn't have been cancelled amiright?

 

[adams901]

I think SGU had quite a large fanbase, but it's the nielson ratings that sealed it's fate.

All the time US networks use the outdated system decent shows will continue to be cancelled.

A lot of people in the states I know tivo'd the shows so they could watch them at a time of their choosing, dont think I know anyone that has a nielson box.

The fate of so many good shows (oddessy 5 being one of them) has been sealed by a select few people who are watchng (or not watching) the show as it airs.

 

[Rulke]

It was a decent ending to a decent show.

I think the 'serious sci-fi' was undermined from the start though by being set in the SG universe. Too many silly cross-overs (communication stones, time travel, lucian alliance etc). Plus, as others have said, the drones were just annoying and completely non-threatening (honestly how hard would it have been to jump in a bit further back and blow up the command ship in 1 pass)

In the absence of any other good sci-fi on TV atm though, i'll miss SGU
