Stargate: Universe - possible spoilers

[moyer777]

agreed.  Star Trek series!

This is getting ridiculous now.


I am actually struggling to find things to watch! Only a few years ago I had to drop shows because I had too much to watch! :(

I agree with Rico they took too long to get going. I was just starting to warm me but to be fair I was watching it more out of loyalty to the franchise. IMHO it never came close to it's predecessors.

When they moved it to Tuesday and put wrestling in its place, I knew it was going to get canceled. I just didn't want to believe myself. So much in fact, that I was shocked when I heard it.

Hope may not be all lost.  Rumblings about a chance SGU could continue after the final episodes air.  Read on....

Stargate Universe update: Joseph Mallozzi says "major hurdle cleared", Still a chance it could return

Despite Syfy canceling "Stargate Universe" after weak ratings — the series had the smallest audience of any program in the "Stargate" franchise — "Stargate Universe" still has a dedicated and strong cult audience and its producers remain committed to trying to bring it back for a third season. To that effect, executive producer Joseph Mallozzi provided an update to fans via his blog and he says the latest developments have brought encouraging news [emphasis mine]:

    I was in the office yesterday to watch the Day 1 Mix of The Hunt. Great stuff! Anyway, while there, I talked to Brad [Wright]. Needless to say, he's been working hard to ensure we all get the opportunity to work with Mark in 2011. Nothing definite as of yet to report but a minor hurdle was cleared. Quite a few hurdles still lie ahead and there's always the chance it might all be for naught – but right now, things are looking positive.

    We spent a couple of hours in the late afternoon discussing the potential game plan if all goes well – and, if all DOES go well, I can assure you that it'll be very, VERY exciting for all.

Too bad I won't see an episode for another month -_-.

Hopefully we'll have it the week after. I haven't heard anything yet.

The return of SGU last night didn't disappoint.  Really some great stuff, some surprises, and some awesome space battles.  So glad it's back - even if it's only for ten episodes.  I've missed this a lot.

I can see I'm going to have to avoid this thread! Still no ord of when we get to see these over here. For the earlier episodes, we were never more than two weeks behind the US but I'd have thought we'd have heard a date by now if that was going to be maintained.

I hope SGU desn't go the way of Caprica such that we never get to see the end.

Why not just stream it from SyFy's website and watch it?

Why not just stream it from SyFy's website and watch it?

There's a 30 day waiting period from air date to ANY online streaming, including Syfy's website, except for the first episode of the season (At least, that's the way it works for the first half of the season).  Same it true for most of their other popular shows.  So, "Deliverance" (Monday's episode), is available now, but I'm sure the second one won't be available until 30 days after it airs. But maybe they'll change their tune since it's already canceled?

King - if you want to stay up to date with airings, you can watch it on Amazon streaming the next day, but it costs $2 per episode.  So it's all a matter of how much you're willing to pay to watch SGU.  I feel your pain - also with no DVR, I've started actually making appointment television for shows that have this kind of delay between airdate and digital release.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

I am not going to pay for a dead series at this point.  Neither am I going to alternative-methods it.  But yes, Spaltor is right.  I have to wait 30 days.  Which is total BS because I'm sure alternative methods have already gotten a decent copy of the episode up.  This 30 day delay is making me not want to watch anymore Syfy episodes.  Especially since Being Human was cut from Hulu.com.

So they're treating this episode as a "premier" episode? That's why it is on the website? Strange.

[moyer777]

I enjoyed the new episode.  It's really starting to get awesome, kind of let down there only 10 left.
