Stargate: Universe

**SubzeroDiabolos** · 2011-05-11 13:24

Wow. People making television shows are such geniuses. /sarcasm

When I watched last episode of SG-U (I didn't know it was the last episode, and I didn't know it was cancelled (again)) I thought it was a kind of strong episode end so I looked it up to see this. Season 2 ends in a cliffhanger that won't be answered.

That's like bringing your kid to disney land but then stay in the parking lot.

I recently watched up to season 3 when I had a lot of freetime. I guess I'll have to pick it up again and rewatch the rest

If I ever get into nerdy convos about scifi with people, I always say "I'm not a trekkie or into Star Wars. If there was a nickname for people who follow Stargate, I'd be that"

I did the 10 season revisit back in january on hulu. Skipped afew episodes every now and then to speed it up. Still good everytime.

Apparently according to the internet the term for a stargate fan is "Gater" I dunno sounds kinda lame but meh.

SUP DUDES I'M A GATER

Is Atlantis any good? I'm tempted to go watch it after how much I enjoyed Universe.

**Krazy** · 2011-05-11 18:21

I wasn't too into Atlantis at first, but I started to really enjoy it by the third season.

No lamer than Trekkie.

Not even sure if Star Wars fans have a pet name.

**SubzeroDiabolos** · 2011-05-11 20:00

Faggots.

**Intrinsic** · 2011-05-11 21:14

Atlantis has some of the best characters to appear on Stargate (McKay/Zalenka/Beckett/Keller), so even though you have to watch some of the worst characters at the same time (Teyla/Ronon/Weir), it's worth it.

**Takedown3** · 2011-05-13 07:13

ronin and weir are both awesome, you can take teyla.

**Mots** · 2011-05-13 13:34

I was never a fan of Ronin, Weir or Teyla. McKay could have been great if he wasn't such a condescending asshole all day everyday.

Also, I was thinking last night that if my dreams could become reality I'd like to see a network get the rights to stargate, star trek and star wars. And run a line up of 3 shows based on those respective universes on friday nights starting at 8 and running until 11. As far as I'm concerned they could just start SG:U again. As for Star Trek I'd like to see something that is about 200 years or so after TNG. And I have no idea about a Star Wars show, they could do just about anything with that.

Stupid to even think about but I'd imagine any network that could pull that off would have the nerds of the world selling their souls to said network.

But that's what made him great!

**Mots** · 2011-05-13 17:52

Nah, it made him look like a dumb asshole because he was cocky as shit all the time but he was often wrong about everything. And the only time he pulled things off was when he was in danger. It was annoying as fuck to watch him act the same way every single week without changing.

Oh God, I would most definitely hand over my soul to whatever network that were to do this. I hope some network does try to pull that off now.

Just started watching this and I must say the sound track is actually really good.

I heard some Julian Plenti and the ending song on S1. Ep. "Pain", I think by the Eels is really fucking good.

**Mytiwar** · 2011-06-01 10:56

Just finished it. Cliffhanger kinda sucks but it kinda gives that great show vibe troughout the episode.
Well minus the Chloe bit but when did that bitch ever get interesting?

Kinda wish they did a movie like they did for sg-1 just to wrap things up but I really doubt that'd be happening.

They were going too but they didnt get a script written before SyFy's deadline apparently.

**Rhinox** · 2011-06-01 12:54

Haven't watched it yet but nothing compares to the way farscape ended.

There was almost riots when that show ended the way it did. Fortunately it lead to a movie.

When Sanctuary moved to Monday nights their viewership plummeted and they lost over half their ratings before it finally went back up.
