Stargate Universe

Ok, so like I've said a few times, I'm typically behind the times when it comes to some newer Sci-Fi shows. I just finished watching all of the Stargate SGU episodes for the first time via NetFlix. O...M....G.....I can't believe how much I liked that show! It was just enough like Stargate to keep us in that story, but a totally different take on it. Now mind you, I've watched the original movie (many times) and only like two seasons of SG1 so that's all I have to go off of. But man, I really liked SGU. I was crest fallen with the final episode though [spoiler]I'll forever wonder if they got to the other galaxy and if they all woke up, and if Eli was successful at repairing his cryo chamber or if he (gulp)...died[/spoiler] Any way, really enjoyed that show and give it two Scottish thumbs up! :)

Yes, I love SGU way too much, was heartbroken when they cancelled the series.  It had an incredible potential.

I know. And I thought it was just getting into a great groove.  Another victim.

Agreed very much Al.  I had a hard time at first with the series, but pretty quickly grew to love it.  Just like Trek, Farscape, and too many other series, I miss having an ongoing SG show on these days.

I was never much into SG, I watched a few here and there, found it OK, but I really enjoyed SGU. Just another example of science fiction shows dying on tv. I know it's cyclical, but it seems like fantasy is the driving force, which is fine I like fantasy. But sci-fi is my first genre love and I crave it.

I enjoyed it, more and more until the end but it was a bit of a jarring start for me since it was so different to regular "Gate" that I love. I also think it suffered from trying to be a little too much "BSG" in style.

To be frank I think it was Robert Carlisle that kept me watching really. I still wish they resurrect the Stargate franchise, it has such potential.

You know, I did notice now similar SGU was to BSG...especially when they got close to the end and found the others...and Dan, I agree, Carlisle kept me interested. I think he's a terrific actor...and SCOTTISH! :)
Chris, yep, seems like Fantasy, vampires and cop shows are the hot ticket items these days!

It was a great show on its own merits although a little too different from regular Stargate to fit completely comfortably with the others. That's not a complaint though, I simply watched it for what it was.

Actually, by the time the second season was running I was comfortable enough with it that it didn't jar so much with "old" stargate in my mind so my initial feelings were probably more down to me than the production.
