The cancellations of SGU and Dark Matter still rustles my jimmies.

Such a great show. And that ending... God I hate US shows just cancelling stuff without a proper send off.

Always enjoyed SGU, kept me on a "slow boil" for a while before the real action kicked in. Was absolutely gutted when it ended on that cliffhanger.......poor Eli.

Honestly, I always had the hope that Stargate would make a comeback and they'd restart the series after about a decade. Maybe for the tenth anniversary they'd have season three begin. Eli spends weeks working on the pod with no luck. He barely eats, barely sleeps, and basically loses his mind. After a prolonged period he decides to try his luck fixing other things thinking if he can learn more about the tech he can fix the pod. He spends years just fixing random things trying to learn more about the systems and gets much of the ship functional again. One day, the pods just turn off and everyone wakes up. They start noticing a lot more lights are on and things seem to be functioning again. Then, someone finds Eli working on a random panel. Think the guy from SG1 who was marooned on a planet for decades. Eli just starts chatting with everyone but seems "off". He walks around, does some work, lays down on the floor for sleep, then wakes up and is back to work. They figure out that he's gotten to a point that he doesn't even realize everyone is back and just assumes they're the same "people" he's been talking too in his head for years. He mentions how someone told him a funny joke a few months back, and they never said that joke. It's all in his head. While going over everything they realize how much he's fixed. The ship is now working almost like new. He has the power system almost to 100%. He found and repaired a ZPM plant, so they have ZPM's all over providing power for systems. He's gotten life support fully functional, and a food production facility up and running. He found some old seeds in stasis and has built a garden. And whenever someone asks, he replies "I want this ship perfect when my friends come back." After a few weeks he's back to his pod. A few people start helping out with it and after a couple weeks, his pod is fixed. At that point he just says he's finished and can see his friends. Which is when it dawns on him that they're already back. The second half of the season would be him returning to being "normal" and everyone else trying to figure out what's up with the ship. Maybe he even got it to a point where it's possible for Destiny to dial out to Earth. But in his mindset, he never thought to do that because he still needed to fix the ship and his pod. After that, it's kinda like Atlantis where they can routinely transit from Destiny to Earth. Some go back, some go to Destiny. And at that point, Destiny becomes Earths farthest flung outpost and science lab. Major repairs start, tech goes back to Earth, and Destiny's mission really begins.

Someone needs to bring this show back, it was a great cerebral show with some truly great ideas. Prime should pick this up, it would be a great fit!!

One of the very best of Stargate series. The fact that it was canceled is a complete travesty. Would love to see this series come back.

The easiest get out for the age problem, is to say that Eli DID solve the stasis pod and power problem, it kept them asleep and safe, but they still aged a little. BAM

There was also a comic continuation where Eli finds a group of Alteran technicians in stasis who were accidentally trapped on the ship when it launched.

This was hands down the best SG series. I enjoyed them all, but this one had something else…. It was exploring what we search for, the origins of the Universe.

I'm still very sad SU ended. In fact I cried and still can. In my opinion this was the best series ever with the story line in general and the characters stories in depth.

Stargate universe was a fantastic show with a very unique atmosphere, good acting, interesting concepts. I, for one, would love to see this story concluded better than the cryo freeze en route to the next galaxy.

I liked universe more than I did the other Stargate shows. Each episode here felt like it had meaning and flowed into the next one, instead of only making story progress at the season finales the way SG-1 and Atlantis seemed to.

The entire Stargate shows were amazing, they had good stories both stand alones and archs. Its a pitty it was ended so soon.

I'm surprised there's no mention of the Obelisk builders in this update. IMO, they never demonstrated any abilities that ascended Alterans or Ori wouldn't also be capable. But it would be cool to see ascension through the point of view of a completely alien species rather than just space humans.

I really enjoyed SG:U. I really didn't care that much for any of the other Stargate shows. i watched them, but they were a one-and-done for me. But to me SG:U (while obviously copying a bit of BSG) was really enjoyable to watch. And the finale of season 2 where everyone is in stasis and Eli is by himself looking out the window, and he has that slight smile along with some of Joel Goldsmith's last (and most beautiful) music really left a hole with many. I thought the look on Eli's face was acceptance of his fate as he was unable to repair the pod, he was taking his last look at the stars before uploading his conciousness into Destiny to be with Ginn. But some of these alternate storylines would have been really good.

Loved SGU, it was actually my favorite in the series. I really really hope we get more in the future. I like the idea of a movie that handles how they get saved and then a new series that follows up.

Show was phenomenal. Those who quit because it was "slow" are absolute fools

lack of continuation for SGU is one of the biggest scifi disappointments of 21st century. amazing show

Stargate Universe could have been a great show. It had so many possibilities. It's a shame this show ended.
