After the secret of the Stargate's ninth chevron is discovered, a team of explorers from Earth travels to the unmanned starship Destiny, which was launched by the Ancients hundreds of millenia ago as an experiment.

  • Very good viewing.

    I find the characters in this show much more realistic than in the other SG's, although I love the entire franchise. A motley crew of flawed individuals thrown together and forced to work to overcome their differences, this isn't a candyfloss series, it's hard-hitting and sometimes even unpredictable. Why they left it where they did is unfathomable. Even a one-off, feature-length episode to finish off the story would have been better than the cliffhanger we've been left with. Bring it back, we need to know what happens! :(moreless

  • Almost on par with Battlestar?

    Possibly the only other Sci-Fi series that could have been as good as Battlestar Galactica! rich characters! a smart story line and mysteries that i just want to be solved!



    To continue this into a third season? i think it is a must! this is just too good to leave it where it is! it needs to be continued!

  • Stargate Universe totally awesome

    This was The best TV Series i have ever seen in my opinion!!!!!!!!!

    I really enjoyed the 2 seasons that aired, i was so hooked on this show that even though it only had 2 seasons, I watched them numerous times. I really wish they didn't cancel it there, I would have loved to see where the destiny was destined to reach, they also left us (the fans) hanging in the worst possible way, with no conclusion.



    It didn't have the same feel as the previous Stargates did, but to great effect in my opinion. I loved the first 2 (SG1 and SGA) but this was more Sci-Fi where those were more action/Sci-Fi.



    I related to Eli Wallace as a smart but unsuccessful young adult (whom I thought was the true hero in the story) and saw the series from his perspective, the writers had a way of drawing me in in such a way that i wished that I was there instead.



    I wish they would bring this series back with a heavy heart.moreless

  • Destiny..... The design is clearly ancient..... Launched hundreds of thousands of years ago.

    This isn't your usual getting saved at the last second, making jokes while being tortured kind of Stargate we are used to, and that's a good thing. The previous Stargate TV franchises consisting of SG1 and SGA which used the same formula and had the same tone, and don't get me wrong, I love these shows, but ratings had dropped and a change was required for SG to survive.



    Some compare SGU to Battlestar Galactica, it has more drama like BSG, it's set in space like BSG, they are far away from home like BSG, but other than that the show even with its darker feel has a completely different tone and is far less political. The show also has beautiful special effects with the gate opening procedure looking much better than previously. The special effects aren't in abundance, but when they are there, they're fantastic.



    This is a show about survival, with real emotions and fear coming to the surface throughout, people behaving irrationally with different agendas. But, it's the potential of the show that stands out, with a huge ancient ship to be explored, no doubt riddled with cool technologies, not to mention the galaxy they are stuck in, billions of light years from home with new aliens to encounter.



    The show has had its fair share of slower episodes. So What? What show doesn't? The haters of the showwould have you believe it's a soap, they exaggerate greatly and need to give it a chance. This show doesn't want to be an SGA clone, it's a serious scifi drama. The creators of the original movie weren't happy with SG1's light hearted tone, so folks saying SGU is an insult to SG need to remember that fans hated Star Trek: TNG until the Borg came along, they hated Voyager until 7 of 9 came along. With all this in mind and being a long time scifi fan, this show will only get better and with season 2 already commissioned it will be here for a while yet.



    This isn't a show to casually watch but one to savour, if you want burger and fries stick with the originals, if on the other hand you want something with more depth, give this a try, you won't be disappointed.moreless
