As we all know Stargate Universe has been cancelled. MGM has said there’ll be no films for SGU, SG-1, or SGA. But I think if we all get togehter now, as the “final” episodes are airring, we need to tell BOTH Syfy and MGM that we all love the show & franchise and will do a lot to keep it alive. Send your picture to the Stargate Collage that’s out there and we can send it to Syfy and MGM. We also need to tell (more) friends and people online to tune in.
Also, another form of hope is; althought these are apperenlty the finaly episodes, I think the fact that the show is going to end on a cliffhanger will make even none hardcore fans angry & want more, so we’ll get more people on our side.
In England (finally, I hope you all enjoy season 2.5, it’s brilliant so far) Sky 1 (and HD I think) airs it on Tuesdays at 8:00 PM: http://sky1.sky.com/stargate-universe
OK SGU fans, I started this blog to link all Stargate sites, fan sites or otherwise, 1 to make it easy for people find things all thing Stargate and 2 to show how many people love Stargate. So, give me your thoughts on Stargate Universe and way you love it and I’ll make a post that we’ll have to try and get Syfy to read so they can see how many fans the show has.
So the things I’d like from you are:
1. Why you like (or love) SGU.
2. Plot lines and character back stories you like to see resolved/explored more.
3. If you’ve been a fan of the whole Stargate Franchise for years, what sort of effect it’s had on you, if you’re willing to tell.
So if you do want to send something in I’ll be breaking it into sections, such as
The Cast: (for example) I personally love their talent on screen, but the fun they have behind off screen, at conventions, out for dinner together, (and I’ll insert a picture of them having that fun).
The Writing: (another example) I think it’s braver than other shows when it has things like Scott talking about getting the mother of his child pregnant at sixteen, and then we meet the young Scott. And (apparently) it was brave, and controversial to make Camile be a Lesbian, (I don’t see why there was such out burst about it though, there a Lesbian and Gay people out there and it’s time for people to live with it. Sorry, personal thing there). There are many more, and you can let me know which ones you like.
The Directing: (example) SG-1 and SGA had fantastic directing over the years and SGU has lived up to that level of wonderful directing.
The Visual Effects: (Example) I personally think the CGI really out does a lot of what was done on the other shows, and the CGI for them was brilliant! But Mark Savela and his team do consistently brilliant jobs.
The Music: (example) I’ve been a Joel Goldsmith for years and some of the pieces of music in SGU are extraordinary! I knew the score for the series was in good hands when it was announced that that Joel was going to be scoring it. I also knew we were in for a treat when I was watching the first episode and saw the first shot of SGU, and then the music when the team were escaping through the Gate to The Destiny, then when Young ordered the scientists to attempt to dial home, then when Scott was woken up by the water bed and had to collect the lime and run for the Gate and all that was in episode 1! Joel’s kept up the same standards with this music for the whole series.
So send me your thoughts (and maybe suggestions for other sections) to my E-mail address rhys@ecoman.com.au please subject it as ‘why I love SGU’ or something along those line.
The second episode of Stargate Universe’s second season has aired on Syfy but Australian and Canadian fans can still catch it soon. Here are a few things to get you excited.
Just a little reminder that the latest episode of Stargate Universe: ‘Twin Destinies’ will air on Syfy in about half an hour. Tune in live, if you’re in the U Sand if not try helping it trend on Twitter.
Canadian can catch it on Space on Tuesdays.
Australian fans can watch it on Sc-Fi- Australia, adn you can watch the back half of season 1 on Channel Eleven on Thursdays.
And UK fans sadly have to wait until air dates are confirmed.
Hello everyone, I’m just letting you know that SGU season to returns with the back half of season 2 in tree hours, I’m excited. Also spread the word, let your friends know.
Hello everyone, here’s just a quick little post. OK, first off Syfy have released that ratings for the return of the back half of season 2. After all the hard work that myself and a lot of other Stargate Universe fans were tweeting, blogging, and asking friends to watch the show the ratings are a rather low 1.036.000. It may be slightly low, but I think it’s still good, I mean not many people have left the show, so the interest is still there. If you’d like to know the ratings compered to season 2.0 see below:
Fans can still boost ratings on other channels, such as Space Channel in Canada, Channel Eleven, or Sci-Fi Australia and hopefully that will help too. Tune in to Space tonight can catch Deliverance.
And to entice you, no spoilers, and please don’t expect to be wowed yourself, I was, but don’t get too excited, you might be let down. But I will say that this episode really does bring you back into the fold of SGU. From the amazing acting, to Joel Goldsmith’s superb score it is one of the best Stargate episodes, not just from Universe. For the people who didn’t watch much of the show and don’t like watching brilliant actors doing their jobs and just want to see space ships blow up, there’s plenty of action! But as well as action, there is some beautiful drama, amazingly written character scenes, and the superb cast gets to show why they became actors, because they are. But please tune in (every week) and get your own opinion.
Also, tell MGM how much we love the show their work on it so far. We need to convince them to try and keep the show alive.
OK just a quick thing. The title says SGU starts soon, but it’s really on in about an hour (could count that as soon, I guess. I’d count that as VERY soon) but we fans are trying to get it trending worldwide.
Use the hash-tags #SGU and #SaveSGU , to get it trending and get more viewers, and then hopefully more Stargate Universe.
P.S follow Jade Berny O’Neill ( @JadeBenyOneill) on tiwtter.
Syfy has said that they’re holding a Stargate Universe marathon on the 3rd of March (that’s actually today for me, be in Australia), they will be airing season 2.0, I guess that it’s to build up the 2.5, and make it easier for we fans to get more viewers.
