I didn’t think I’d like this at first, but I know I enjoy science fiction novels, so I gave it a try. Arthur C. Clarke would be proud.I agree with those who see it as a cerebral adventure, exploring not just “what’s out there” but also “what’s in us.” As the Mars series points out, “Mars is the enemy; if you stay there long enough, it’ll kill you” or something to that effect. Presumably space itself tries to do so too. I suspect that’s the God’s honest truth of it, and one ignores it to ones own peril. In fact, mistakes in the entirely hostile environment of space will probably be totally lethal very quickly. Survival takes the kind of thinking that SGU encourages, especially given the varied types of people who ended up quite literally “in the middle of nowhere.” How would one deal with multiple personality types thrown together and put under maximum stress? With each adventure, I realize, “I’d never make it more than a day.” Heck, I’d be psychotic within hours.My only complaint about the series is that the crew make more than their fair share of mistakes and still manage to survive it; at least they survive to learn the lesson that life is fragile, vulnerable and rare, so beware. Here the biggest threat to survival is the head-to-head encounters of the two major power positions, Rush and Young. It’s back to high school again, complete with the space jock and the computer nerd, while all the “classmates” stand around and watch. In short, how not to do a real trip.
I fully agree with others that it is such a shame this show only made it for two seasons. I was a fan of the previous Stargate incarnations, but this show is VERY different. It’s fairly dark, for the most part, and the stories tend to be much more character driven and deep, and there is a very palatable sadness that hangs over the episodes. The show is more about human nature, loneliness, loss, and yet still contains a helping of hope as well. The final episode even brings tears to my eyes as it really ends with a moment of both joy and loss. Unfortunately, I think most watchers of sci-fi based shows want more lasers, explosions and giant creepy monsters than they do human conflicts and an exploration of emotions and homesickness. But by far this was my favorite of the Stargate shows and I miss it very much. Highly recommend.
Sad to see that the adventures do not continue. I’m dying to know if they survived those three years or not, what happened to Eli, etc. I surprisingly got very into this show. I really wish there were more seasons. I have binged this series on retrolio over the past couple of weeks. After this last episode I thought to myself “I would pay extra to watch more seasons” only to find there were no more seasons. I don’t ever write reviews, so I definitely loved this enough to feel like I had to say something. It was a great ride while it lasted. Albeit, in the beginning I felt it was all kind of cheesy and somewhat predictable. However, over time, I came to love the characters and all the crazy situations they got into. I love sci-fi and I feel this turned out to be a great sci-fi that I will think about for quite some time. I’m sad to say goodbye already. Bring it back, retrolio.
When this was on TV, I missed the Pilot episode, or at least I paid little enough attention to it that when I watched subsequent episodes, I didn’t fully understand what was going on. So I never really got into this show as much as the other SG franchises, all of which I loved.I binged watched this on retrolio Prime, and it all made so much more sense. But through the entire first season, I still didn’t particularly like the show. The characters seemed inherently shallow and unlikable. They did not get along, and the internal conflicts were sometimes painful to watch. There was some overacting by the secondary characters, and responses which seemed a bit over the top. Overall, not impressive.The 2nd season was even worse. It delved right into the topic of religion, and that was something that is simply taboo in a Sci-Fi show, at least to me. Even more unlikable. But… somewhere around the 2nd half of Season 2, the show hit its stride. The characters started working together. They started acting like a family, instead of random strangers stuck in this terrible situation. The alternate reality from space travel was awesome! Both the concept and the execution, and how that tied into their journey, and the future possibilities, now that they knew what was possible. They picked up a 2nd shuttle too! Cool!I totally get why the decision was made to cancel it. If it were up to me, by the 3rd episode of the 2nd Season, I would have cancelled it too. But, all that terrible set up for su.
All I can say is I find most tv SCIFI Ludicrous, Pathetic or maybe Bearable.Exception Prime’s series”the Expanse” (Beautiful).”Stargate Universe” is even more wonderful.I am now watching all 41 episodes again for the 3rd time.Why ? Incredible graphics, compelling stories, very real concepts, a few flaws ,but hey even the gods make mistakes.
While other Stargate series are interesting and entertaining, this series, SG•U is more enticing. It touches the human nature and bring it into the series. If we can ignore the obvious aspects of the show, such as the show being a melodramatic, cliche-filled, frequently-predictable SciFi action fantasy, the show is less cartoonish and idealistic but more realistic in its own way.What would happen if undisciplined groups of people were thrown together in a life-threatening situation? Will they be able to form a community and work together to survive? What if the only way for them to survive is to work together? What if everyone will have to find a way to learn to put the community first before individual desires? Can we survive the catastrophe?In terms of production style, this show reminded me of Battlestar Galactica. Perhaps they have some connection and/or influence. The light, colours, camera angles, the way that it pans, zooms and jumps resembled that of Battlestar Galactica.Overall, a great show. Interesting to watch. Disappointed that the series did not survive beyond Season 2.
Perhaps this should have been its own series, rather than an extension of the other SGs. I thought it was the best, and it’s not even close. I did find the others entertaining (SG-1, Atlantis, the movies…) but this takes a much darker, more serious tone. Absolutely love this series and it’s a shame that it ended. So much potential.If you’re into the comical happy-go-lucky franchise of SG-1, you might not like this. TRY to separate yourself from that and enjoy this series for what it truly is…a SciFi adventure into the unknown. It’s dark, it’s depressing. Like a SciFi soap opera with the right balance of drama and action. Other reviewers are correct – the cast is, for the most part, very unlikable. But the mysteries that unravel keep you guessing and keep you interested if you suspend disbelief. I do not believe this series was intended for the folks who simply want to root for the good guy. It is entirely unclear who the good guys are. But I did find characters with whom I could identify. It just depends on who you are.It starts with a bad situation and usually gets worse, with a few happy moments along the way. And I loved every minute of it. Most great programs go on too long and have really bad endings. This one ended too soon.
What the hell is wrong with network execs? This show was fabulous, really imaginative and not just shoot em ups like so many. Truly loved it and as soon as I see the last episode of season 3, poof, there is no more. My thanks to all involved in this high quality sci fi show, please do some more and we’ll get crowdfunding.Twinkle Yochim
This show was a strange experience for me, like many shows the first season seemed to be a struggle for the cast and writers. Characters were annoying and their relationships were honestly terrible. But as the show started to get into its groove and characters developed beyond their initial idiocy it actually became a pretty great show. It sucks that it was cancelled because I feel like eventually it could have become one of the all time great sci-fi’s.So close, yet so far.
What I enjoy the most about this show is that it shows us the nuance of human characteristics. We, like people, have grown too used to the hero arch types where the hero is always a hero at all times. However, in reality, humans are not good or bad but vary on the spectrum based on the situations. Most shows are missing the nuance to a person and their depth.Every episode, a character adjust their beliefs based on circumstances and information available to them; that does not make us evil or good. Instead, the growth and change we see help us acknowledge that people are not one-dimensional. That makes them You will grapple and struggle to choose and have a single favorite. Change is the only constant.Dr. Rush and coronal Young are the most nuanced, some of you may agree with me, and some may disagree. If nothing else, we can acknowledge that they have flaws like every human on planet earth. They make bad decisions and recognize that their positions on the crew has not made them infallible.The fact the visual effect is not too polished does not detract from the show but enhances it making it look real. You being to feel the crew’s anguish about the limited amount of open air space and trees.

I guess in that way it makes the show unfaithful to the brand. And I get that. But on it’s own, it’s way better in every way except ‘camp factor’ than previous Stargate series. It was a crime to cancel it. It was the only bright light in a very dismal sci-fi world for a while (we have more options now like the expanse and discovery, but this was way before those and after Galactica had run its course. There was literally nothing else).It’s sad that it can’t be appreciated because it shares a name with a series that attracts goobers who only like cheese and unrealistic acting. None of them realize that SG-1 bore no resemblance to the movie with Kurt Russell, which was much more serious and actually awesome.

Such a shame SyFy cancelled this. Watching it again several years later and I think I like it even more than before. I wish retrolio or Netflix or somebody would resurrect this show! It’s not too late. The episodes ‘darkness’ and ‘light’ have some of the most visually mesmerizing scenes I have ever seen. There are no good scifi shows now where we explore the universe. They are all alternate realities, superheroes or zombies. It would be really nice to have this back. It is such a great show and it also has such incredible potential for growth. It is not an adrenalin rush as so many newer shows try to be but, is instead a very well done, thought provoking and visually stunning work. It is better (and in most cases is far better) than anything SyFy has brought us since and is as good or better than other scifi offerings on retrolio or Netflix. It would also appear from some of the negative reviews, if your looking for more of the same from sg1 and aren’t really open to something different you may not like it. I personally enjoyed the older series but always thought them to be less than what they could have been and more than a little cheesy sometimes and was always very one dimensional. I was never that big of a fan of sga because it often went too far into the cheesy side of the spectrum. Sgu is darker and much more complex with real characters and in my opinion, very good, but it is not a revamp of the same old formula.

I’ve been a Sci-fi nut for over 50 years, and I’ve never seen a series as well-developed as this franchise. Great actors, the cast includes some stars such as Lou Diamond Philips, but it’s mostly relative unknowns – they all shine!Special effects are marvelous, with lots of gadgets, creepy creatures are truly terrifying, and each storyline interweaves with plenty of cliffs-hangers.A serious choice for binge-watching, and interesting enough to watch all over again next year.Better than any Star Trek series or movie ever made, the ending in Season 2, Chapter 20 leaves this the perfect property to re-initiate a brans new sequel or prequel.With all the junk currently being produced to fill the bottomless pit of the New Media Content Era, one would hope the producers would pitch another couple of seasons and get retrolio or Netfix to step up.

I loved this series! it was actually the first one I watched before discovering the rest of the SG franchise. The others are great, but there’s something so damn cool about The premise of this show. I agree that it got cancelled just as it was getting really good. I know that it won’t ever happen, but this would be a great show for Prime to resurrect! Since SyFy does such a terrible job with keeping good shows (and Prime clearly is good at picking them up a la The Expanse) then I think this would be a perfect one to do!!

This series is much richer and better written than most tv shows, or movies, for that matter. It is engrossing, but often leaves you unsettled. I suspect this series suffered in popularity because it wasn’t what people wanted to spend a hour with after coming home from a long day of their own problems. The challenges presented to the crew each week would be life threatening and often soul-crushing. And when they’d overcome some huge challenge by the skin of their teeth, there’d be mere seconds of respite before another threat would loom over them. The characters are complex. You will be shown why someone is the way they are. Even the most hated character might show such redeeming qualities you almost love them at times. But the most beloved characters will also show traits you won’t like at all. This show is complex and challenging. It’s not end-of-workday relaxing.

I hope this series gets a reboot at some point. It was by far the best work of the Stargate writers, producers and directors. Yes….it’s not SG1 or SGA. It wasn’t supposed to be. Although I loved both of those series, SG*U is different and far more compelling. This story is not about comic relief or Wormhole Extreme. It’s a serious action/drama with a compelling story and amazing cinematography. The characters are not action adventure heroes. They are realistic and have a lot of depth.The entire series is a single story arc. It was incredibly disappointing to see the series end after just two seasons. There is so much more to tell. A lot of unanswered questions. What happened to Franklin? Dr. Perry and Ginn?If you haven’t watched it, you should. But expect a series more like The Expanse and less like Wormhole Extreme ( the SG1 spoof on itself).

I have always been a Star Gate fan. I’ve never liked the good guy/bad guy formula composition of many Sci Fi movies. This is a series that I can watch again and again. The acting is wonderful. The story lines are very good. It is a shame that the really great series are cancelled all the time. Stories that have meaning and develop well. I wish they brought this back. Like the Expanse, this is a classic.

When SGU was launched, fans of its predecessors, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis expected more of the same. Namely, a team of intrepid heroes has exciting planet-of-the-week adventures while fending off evil and suspiciously human-like enemies, such as the Gouald or the Wraith, with FN P90s and lots of explosions. SGU broke the mold with its more serious look at space exploration. We could no longer magically understand aliens (what few there were). Technological societies were not present on every planet but instead were quite rare. To me, this made the encounters with the alien all the more exciting.Robert Carlyle’s Dr. Rush was no Dr. Carter, or even Dr. McKay. And Louis Ferreira’s Colonel Young was no Jack O’neill or even John Shephard. The SG-1 protagonists were extremely likable and heroic, and while McKay and Shephard had some issues with other people and authority, respectively, they were still likable and heroic. Variations on a theme. The SGU protagonists are more like real people. Deeply flawed people. Rush is selfish, cunning, abrasive, brilliant but not impossibly so, and at times just fundamentally unlikable. Colonel Young is insubordinate, moody, often unprofessional, but military through and through. Both characters are far more interesting than their predecessors. The other cast members are good but these two and their diametrically opposed world views really steal the show.Unfortunately, too many fans of SG1 and SGA hated they didn’t get another carbon c.

Still almost 10 years later I watch it and love it, the beginning is a little dry but like most that is where the character development is, the second season is where it really takes off and becomes so enjoyable and not just another version of SG1 its something totally different and completely new challenges.I hope for one day to read the news that this is getting rebooted and they can bring it back with the timeline that it took Eli just over 2 weeks to fix the last pod and he made it but it meant the trip was 10 years instead of 3 to match actor aging, I can hope and will hope that this gets brought back to try a season 3 and on.

“We’re not in [The SGC] anymore” – Dorothy.Everything about this show feels like a natural progression from SG1 and Atlantis. Camera angles, dialogue, and lighting are all conducive to the empty and hostile nature of the universe that permeates the ship. The crew face a constant false sense of security with reality-checks around each FTL jump via hunger, Aliens and bad blood among the ship’s occupants. It’s not totally a show that wraps up each problem per episode, rather strings them together well enough that removing one might ruin the over-arcing tapestry of the show’s seasons.I watched all of SG1 and enjoyed it, I really did but after watching SGU I dont think following with SG Atlantis will cut it.Give it 1/2 a season before you make up your mind, that’s my recommendation.
