Stargate Universe got a raw deal. It was a really great extension of the overall Stargate mythos. Between SG1 and Atlantis, they'd basically gone as far as they could. The teams had defeated gods, both figurative and literal. They had limitless technology at their disposal and each new season became a slog to another deus ex machina.

SGU essentially reset the entire premise back to zero while keeping the overall accumulated canon in place AND it presented a much better conflict/goal than the typical "we must defeat these new powerful aliens before they destroy humanity".

But it didn't fit with the tone of the previous shows so a lot of the fans were turned off. Too much "drama", not enough zat guns. Plus that was the time when SciFi rebranded to "SyFy" and started showing shit like WWE.

I would LOVE to see them do another season picking up right where they left off. It would absolutely fit within the established timeline.

That show was just bad. It haf amazing production and could have been so much better.

They needed to leave earth/sol alone. The constant connection to home base ruined the show.

Having the goa ould just show up and take over was so bad.

The show had a great set up they ruined by trying to include too much familiar elements.

And i say this as a huge fan of the stargate universe.

Granted i had very high hopes. Felt like the people who made Battlestar Galactica got moved to a stargate project and i was so dissapointed with the direction the show took
