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.

Simply put, this is not the same planet of the week formula with a main story arc showing up every few episodes, there is a main story arc that evolves in every episode. It does have a slower start, and it not without its flaws, but by the end of season 2 all I can think of is that I want more. Nothing is really finished, they built up what could possibly be the best Stargate series yet. This needs to be finished properly, and I really hope that someone picks it up and finishes this series. Now all of the above being stated, A lot of the main characters develop as the series progresses and you learn a lot about them and why they are they way they are. The character development in this show is great, a few develop rather quickly and some you don’t really see to much growth until season 2. The story is unique and interesting, the plot shows a lot more creativity that SG-1 or Atlantis, I love both don’t get me wrong, this is a different kind of Stargate experience that I found refreshing, planet of the week did get old. It is a really sad thing that happened to this show and like a few other shows that retrolio has picked up I hope this is one of them, because the potential here is unreal.

This Stargate subseries, very different from the other various Stargate series, was excellent. It was a shame it was cancelled after two seasons. I’ve always hoped someone would pick it up and continue it.Putting a mixed bag of Stargate military, scientists, and civilians together in a survival situation on a truly distant (multiple galaxies away!) ship, empty, built by the Ancients referenced in other Stargate series, was an imaginative idea. The actors do a great job of turning what is usually an action-packed series into both a physical and psychological struggle. At the time, this was part of the pioneering attempts at making science-fiction series where the characters are as important as the science-fiction realm they are in.

This show is great! We meet new stargate universe enemies, learn more about the ancients, and enjoy a constant flow of new ideas, materials, and surprises to keep things exciting.I would absolutely pre-order new SGU seasons. Plus the storyline ended perfectly to be able to bring back all of the original cast without trying to explain the age change.

I liked this expansion of the Stargate… Universe. I liked the random planets and enemies, despite being CGI. I did not like the lack of knives. No one brought one? Not a single person ever used a knife in the show, not even an improvised one from the plentiful bit of scrap steel. I cannot recall anyone even mentioning a knife or how one would make a good portion of what they did incredibly easy. I thought a knife was standard equipment for all military. Not even the civilians were carrying an EveryDay Carry pack? Silliness.

Stargate Universe is much more serious than its predecessors. There’s no silly filler episodes, it’s just one constant struggle to survive. The military and civilian crew clash, which leads to mounting tensions. The characters cover a whole range of personalities and even your most dislikable character, has motives that are hard to argue with. I was devastated when this was cancelled. I think the world had decided it had enough of Stargate after SG1 and Atlantis.

This final iteration of the Star Gate series was by far, the best for Sci-Fi enthusiasts. It has better scripts, better acting, far better character development and much better plot/continuity than the previously (with all due respect) inferior star gate offerings. It is a crying shame that it did not get the investment for continued filming before the “reality” TV rot started to set in. Even as a made-for-TV series, It is high caliber in its concept, its execution and its entertainment value, assuming you are not looking for brain – dead Kardashian-style B/S. It really develops its own, at times quite “gritty”, character in the second series when it finally “back-seats” the ridiculous and unnecessary ties back to the campy Star Gate original series and the tired plot lines that were exhausted in that offering, until late in the series when it quite unnecessarily shows up again. Methinks it was all about providing jobs for otherwise has-been actor/contributors to the first series’s. Recommended for any Sci-Fi enthusiast who still has a quorum of brain cells not killed off by the modern pathetic-ism served up as so called entertainment by networks these days. Most Millennial’s probably wont get it, and while it is most definitely not hard-core SF in the vein of Heinlein, Asimov or Clarke et-al, Sci-Fi enthusiasts will still find it worth a look for its bridge between broad appeal TV series and a serious attempt to provide a realistic scenario to be explored and developed. We d.

This is a great series with characters that are believable. Bring it back for a season and a finale.

Stargate Universe is my personal favorite and different from the rest of the Stargate franchise. The beginning can be a bit boring, but stick with it! They need to establish life on the ship as part of the story line. Many of my friends disagree with me, but I think it was an awesome series.

It took me a while to warm up to this series because I liked SG-1 and Atlantis so much and this is a much darker show. Many of the characters are deeply flawed or have unlikable personality traits (although some are very likable). At the same time, it’s the characters very complexity that makes them so interesting. I enjoyed thinking about what it would be like to be trapped halfway across the universe with so few resources and the “wrong crew.” I also liked how they slowly started to grow and change, some for the worse but many for the better. One of the things I disliked about Atlantis is that only Rodney McKay experienced true character growth as the series went on. However, these characters all have room for growth and the writers started to explore this before the premature (in my opinion) ending to the series. I’m disappointed that the series didn’t get more seasons. I was pulled in completely by this series and would have loved to see these characters grow (or self-destruct) as they continued their journey.

SGU was definitely a show ahead of its time. Today, we are accustomed to shows that go deep into character development and that operate in a serialized fashion. Back then, we weren’t too accustomed to focusing on characters over action and requiring the viewer to keep up with past episodes to know what was going on in the current episode. No, SGU wasn’t as fun as SG1 or SGA but neither of those shows had such a focus on the characters and their day-to-day plight.
