I was just wondering what your guys opinion was concerning Stargate universe and it's cancellation. Personally, as a Stargate fan-boy, I loved it and am very disappointed I won't be watching it for years to come.  I know that it had a group of haters that rivaled its fans so I was just wondering what the general opinion was on giantbomb. 

My interest in Stargate died with SG-1. 

I've never heard of this game before. However, considering the source material, it probably wouldn't have been very good. Then again I like to talk out of my ass a lot...

It got cancelled? Why?

" It got cancelled? Why? "

I tried to get into it but couldn't stand the parts where it became an emo music video.

Cause it was trying to be Battle star galatica. It was shit and had little to nothing to do with the other series and tried to be its own thing. IT was shitty and I am glad it was canceled.   It was a horrible version of the universe and chances are low ratings killed it.  "

See, I didn't get that at all. Other than the first couple episodes (Which, even as a fanboy, I have to admit kinda sucked) I never got the whole BSG with stargates thing. I thought it was a nice change from the SG1 and SGA formula. I thought it progressed the universe in a direction that no one expected and i loved it for that.  And it got canceled because of low ratings. Though there is speculation it could come back. "

And nothing of value was lost.

It sucked. They went way to slow. Nothing happened in any episodes and to many ended in that sort of " Wink at the camera" Like when they figure out right at the end this guy did this " Or did he" sort of crap.  "

Stargate was about going though a big ass ring and curb stomping some guld with a dude called Telk. Not some tossed toghter group whos personalities changed from week to week. 

I don't know it seemed alright, although I think SG-1 was the only Stargate show that really needed to exist.

I don't know what you mean by "changed from week to week" but franchises can't have the same characters forever. As much as I loooooooove Richard Dean Anderson and crew, they got old (literally) and they needed to bring in fresh blood and fresh ideas. "

How each person acted changed each week. It was strange.  "

The show is actually not too bad. It was getting good actually. But I can't say I care much. Where have you been though? It was canceled a while ago.

I watched 10 episodes and still didn't know what the show was about. How many times can you barely escape from some new space ship crisis independent of an actual tangible enemy? I also thought the whole mindswitch thing was just a device used to add standard soup opera melodrama that wasn't very interesting. Not a terrible show, but it was extremely easy for me to fall off.

I'm not interested in any Stargate that doesn't involve Richard Dean Anderson.

Old news. They killed it sometime late last year. It got off to a rough start, and the need to ape the seriousness of BSG didn't help them either. I loved SG-1 and Atlantis because it was a fun adventure every week. You dial the gate, grab a P90 and blaze some alien fools while making witty remarks. Simple formula, but it worked. Here's hoping the take a break though and get back to basics in a few years. Earth based team and a gate, done.

" @Liam_mk:  If it got better in season 2, it was far too late.  That time traveling episode was the only bright spot of the entire first season.  Too bad it was sandwiched by soap opera plot.  No one, me included, wanted anything to do with the show after that. "

The only good thing about Stargate was the movie.

Again all that is gone in season 2. "

I wanted to like SG:U, but in the first episode they took out a good chunk of suspense with the magical stones that allowed them to talk to Richard Dean Anderson and the gang back on Earth instead of the promising "oh shit how do we survive" plot that stretched across the newer Battlestar Galactica. That and another episode where the fat nerdy guy and the senator's daughter went to a nightclub and slept with each other (in someone else's bodies) seemed so out of fucking nowhere that I couldn't believe it was even the same show.

Other than evolving as characters (Which is good) I don't see what you mean. :\ "
