What does anyone think of the series finale for Stargate Universe?




michael m


I really thought this series had some potential, but they cut it short. Does anyone know if they are going to make straight to DVD movies now?


Answer
I thought the finale was great and the reason it ended the way it did was so there was a possibility in the future it could be picked up again. If anyone remembers SG1 was cancelled when it was on showtime til scifi picked it up so there is a chance another channel might pick up SGU. I will miss Stargate and i blame syfy for what they did to it.

KILL SYFY SAVE SGU!!!
