Stargate Universe might be gone, but the fans aren’t. 55,000 strong on the Save Stargate Universe facebook page, which has clearly been hacked. Who does that anyway? → Read More
Stargate Universe wrapped last night. I teared-up a bit. The season two finale is said to be the show’s last episode as NBC didn’t renew the show and MGM canned the whole franchise. But one Facebook group is trying to change that. → Read More
Power is in numbers, but sometimes cries fall upon deaf ears or come too late. That’s probably the case with the Save Stargate Universe Facebook group. NBC announced last December that Stargate Universe wasn’t going to be picked up for a third season and then MGM recently shuttered all things Stargate, canceling the planned movies for each of the three Stargate series. One of the most successful and longest running scifi franchises seems all but wrapped up.
But fans have been known to save TV shows. Family Guy, Star Trek, Futurama, Arrested Development, Jericho were all canceled and then brought back with help from fans. Sometimes it required shipping crates of bananas or peanuts to executive’s offices, but fans won and at least got to see a few more episodes. → Read More
Things are unfortunately wrapping up for Stargate Universe. The show is coming to an end while it was just getting good. Oh well, at least tonight’s episode should make Atlantis fans happy with both Meredith and Richard appearing on tonight’s episode. The trailer is embedded after the jump, but if you’re anything like me, you’re not going to watch it because of the spoilers. → Read More
OH NOES! Stargate Universe got an NBC-issued boot right in the ol’ fart maker. The remaining episodes will be aired in the spring, but then it will come to an end. Sad Matt. I really, really like the show. Well, that’s that, I guess. There isn’t a single thing left to watch on Syfy with SGU and Caprica gone. All that’s left are reality TV shows about people who never seem to find ghosts and wrestling. So yeah, I guess Peter got it right back in March of 2009, What the hell is a SyFy? Here’s a good thread on Reddit about the cancellation. What a waste. Did you know it was nominated for two Emmys this year? Probably best to move Warehouse 13 to a different station and shut down the whole station. → Read More
You have to agree that SGU is so much better this season than last. Overall there’s a whole lot less drama and more sci-fi action. But next week’s preview looks like there will be more drama than action, so I don’t know. Anyway, click through for a sneak peek at S2E8. → Read More
Well, I’m officially a Stargate Universe fan. I’m hooked and for good reason, too. The show’s damn good. I’ve wrote extensively about SGU here and started out as a skeptic like many of you. It’s totally different than either SG-1 or Atlantis that came before it. I think it took everyone off guard. Instead of being a continuation of the previous series, it’s a total reboot. The episodes are no longer shot clearly for syndication and full of quirky dialog riddled with inside jokes. No, Universe is more Battlestar Galatica than SG-1; it’s more Lost than Atlantis – and I like, but it took me a season and half to get here. → Read More
This might not be news to you, but I missed the announcement that Stargate Universe is now on Tuesday nights instead of the long-time spot on Friday. Season 2 starts back up this coming Tuesday at 9:00. Embedded above is the Season 2 trailer. I’m still not sold on the new look and feel, but I haven’t missed a Stargate episode yet and that’s not likely going to change anytime soon. → Read More
Comic-Con 2010 is all wrapped up. The cosplayers are back in their basements planning next year’s attire. The booth babes are back home waiting for their talent agency to find them another gig. And the rest of us are left scouring the interwebs for trailers and video clips of upcoming shows and movies. Well, good friends, all of Syfy’s trailers are neatly embedded after the jump just for you. That includes Warehouse 13, Stargate Universe, Sanctuary, Eureka, and even Caprica. Enjoy. → Read More
We’ve made it. We’ve made it to the end of the Stargate Universe‘s first season and it’s finally starting to look like the Stargate of old. I have high hopes for tonight’s finale, too. Hopefully I’m not let down like I was with Warehouse 13‘s final episode. Trailer up top and teaser after the jump. → Read More
Okay, so I’m really starting to get into SGU. It was a long road to this point, but it’s definitaly getting better. Yeah, it’s not episodic like SG-1 or Atlantis, but the story line is certainly improving. I’m so excited about tonight that I didn’t even watch the trailer or teaser embedded here or read the episode descriptions over at Gateworld. I’m only that anal about shows I like so I guess that says something. → Read More
Season one of Stargate Universe is wrapping up in the next few episodes. We’ve seen aliens, space battles, and more recently, huge eff’n spiders. Last week’s episode wasn’t too bad and tonight we’ll see if Eli, Matt, Chloe and Greer make it back to the ship. Up top is the trailer to get you pumped and below is a teaser trailer that shows a couple of plot twists if you’re into spoilers. → Read More
http://www.hulu.com/embed/LaHcGp_kOY67J8Sk1uBorg Tonight’s Stargate Universe episode – Faith – seems like it might be a classic Stargate episode. The team finds a random Earth-like planet that’s seemingly normal. But there has to be something wrong with it. Either it’s all a dream some sort of simulation controlled by an aliening being. Either way, a redshirt crew member will probably die. All I know is hopefully it will be better than last weeks episode. Click through for a short clip from tonight’s episode. [Update] No no no no no! I had to pause my TiVo while watching the episode to update this post. I was seriously starting to dig SGU. In fact, I that to myself just a few minutes ago. Then T.J. revealed she was pregnant. NO! Babies ruin everything — especially sci-fi shows. → Read More
Stargate Universe’s season one starts back up tonight and we might finally see some the alien baddies and a space ship fight. The first ten episodes where just OK, but the series shows potential with a good cast, novel story line, and great sets/locations. Those three things also happened to be the three pillars holding up the previous Stargate shows. All SGU needs to do is tone down the seriousness a bit and run a bit more loose. That’s what Stargate always did best and truly separated itself from other shows within the genre. → Read More
Stargate shows have always featured aliens, but they weren’t alien-ish for the most part. The story line of SG-1 and Atlantis of course supported the creative (and budget) decision, but SGU is different. This time our cast is exploring exploring the very deepest parts of space and so the aliens should be different. And different they are. → Read More
http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/gw002.swf I’m still in shock that the beings above are apparently going to let Smallville surpass SG-1′s record. Oh well. But here’s the trailer for the second half of Stargate Universe‘s first season. Here’s hoping that the second half is a bit more like the Stargate of old. Too bad I’ll end up watching it even it’s more of the same crap. → Read More
Well my day just got better. SGU is currently on a mid-season break but at least the news broke that the show got picked up for another season. Now if I can only wait until April to see how Dr. Rush gets back on board the Destiny. → Read More
I’ve heard good things about Stargate Universe so far, but I’m still nervous about tonight’s premiere. SG-1 and Atlantis are two of my favorite shows of all time and I’m afraid that this new series is something different than those two. From what I’ve seen, it’s taking a very Battlestar Galactica-look, which might not be a bad thing for Universe, but it just doesn’t feel like Stargate to me. → Read More
Okay, seriously, this is the worst interview ever. The hosts are clueless, mock the genre, and don’t do the show justice. Oh, and WTF is up with the music at 0:55? Wow. Feel free to watch the whole 9:13 interview, but you may want to just skip forward to 6:38 for a new clip of Stargate Universe. Be warned though, you will cringe at the comments right after that clip. → Read More
