12 years later, this does a wonderful job of showing just how great this series was. I've watched the DVD set of both seasons and the thought and time everyone put into this show was just excellent.

Truly an epic series. I have no doubt, had it lived on; would’ve been the crowning achievement of the entire franchise. I watch it every six months or so, and still find tiny things I’ve missed.
A wicked video. Can't believe I haven't seen it til now. Thank You....I'd forgotten just how much promise this show had. I feel like Stargate grew in all sorts of ways with SGU. What a shame there was so little faith from the owners, not a single pair of balls between the lot of them.
I am sad about the loss of this show to this day. I am glad that you enjoyed it! Every time I get a new comment I am excited to see that people still love Stargate as much as I do.
A very special series, made more so again by SGU it was one of the most powerful stories...but most fans on syfy network couldnt see it, not even i could at the time. Now, looking at it again, watching each episode one after the other -- its truly special. I wanted to do a tribute project too, thank you these videos! it encourages me!
5:08 Since Rush was able to connect his Stargate to Destiny first - it automatically disconnected Eli's Stargate connection, in which immediately caused Eli's Stargate to loss power....
@Mikolaj Kraszewski True, at times the drama felt like it was just trying to be something that the original series, just..was not lol and I did prefer the lighter heart of the original series, which did not take away from the epicness thought
I agree, very special. And unfortunately, got off on the wrong foot. Too many early episodes were so slow, focusing on the very basics of survival aboard the ship. Then the Lucian Alliance returns. I really wish they'd been left out of it. What people really wanted to see was new worlds, new aliens, new tech... new possibilities. And that did come later, but unfortunately too late for the fans. SG1-SGA fans never gave it a chance. It's a tragedy, because SGU had so much potential. So much more ship to explore, tech to discover. I really hope there's a follow-up series that reconnects with Destiny.
What an incredible, incredible, incredible video! You captured the feeling and themes from SGU perfectly pal, I'm blown away and so thankful! Keep up the amazing work :)
This show really anticipated the styles of amazing shows such as The Walking Dead and The Man in the high Castle or all the shows on Netflix. I still feel deeply terrible for the cancellation of SGU. Actors, visual effect, cinematographer, plot. they are all outstanding. It feels like the world wasnt ready for this. Thanx for making this video. ありがとう
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I miss this show greatly and morn it's cancellation to this day. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video, they take a lot of work so each and every comment is special to me. I am hopeful that Stargate Origins will reboot the Stargate Franchise. Nothing will truly replace SGU, but I think the world needs more Stargate.
ShaggyUltraLounge they should continue with stargate, my idea is a story for SG-1 30 years in future... So with new actors... They also tell what happened to the destiny and what s with the atlantis spaceship and what they learned and earned from it, and what the new powers in the universe are...
I finished watching SG Universe today for the third time in my life (1. On TV in German, 2. On DVD in German, 3. On DVD in French). I' m very amazed by this and all your other videos. Thank you for them! This video is perfect after finishing the series and have a flashback over the whole series from the beginning on. I had goose bumps watching this, so this is a good sign that you video is a masterpiece. Greets from Luxembourg C. M. .
Seen every single Atlantis and stargate episode probably 5 times each now haha but never watched 1 or this series for some reason but this video has now made me want to go watch it? 40 episodes here I come
Enjoy! Season 1 can, for some, be a bit off putting. Personally I like it. That said, SGU season 2 is some of the best Stargate and Science Fiction there is. It’s very very good.
I truly miss sgu with all my heart.coudnt someone please bring it back? everything about this show is magnificent . the storyline and the fact that the Starship is hundreds of millions of years old I love it. please I beg you bring back Stargate Universe it's one of the best sci-fi series I have ever seen in my entire life thanks and God bless!
I know this is a 4 year old comment. But there is alot of hope for SGU. Out of any Stargate shows they could continue (With Brad Wright obviously) Stargate Universe has to be it. Edit: They being Amazon
You captured the series very well. Everything that made the show such interesting and involving viewing. Excellent clip selection. Music. A well done piece of work.
5:08 Since Rush was able to connect his Stargate to Destiny first - it automatically disconnected Eli's Stargate connection, in which immediately caused Eli's Stargate to loss power....
The Drones are one of my favourite sci-fi antagonists because they are purely machine. No maliciousness and no hate, just killing you and learning to overcome your survival because O comes after 1 :)
Man I miss SGU. I miss the Stargate universe in general. If I had free reign over the franchise to start it anew I would make a sequel to SGU to start with to wrap up all the cliffhangers and unanswered questions then honestly I would put up polls on what the fans both old and new want to see then compare those results to what's left within the canon universe to explore, I mean of course you can always make up new planets, species and characters so long as you have development of both characters and an intriguing plot line with memorable moments

SGU was fantastic. Loved it right from the start. Darker and more in-depth character development early on. Sucked the A.D.D. crowd pissed and moaned so much. Killed a fantastic show.
Absolutely superb in all regards, however since the creators basically promised us the answer for life universe and everything the cancellation meant to spare us an obvious letdown, and made the shows legendary status. Special nod for Joel Goldsmith, his soundtrack was something special for this show, he obviously grew up to his father.

Universe was a great show that was killed by progress. If it hadn't been for the advent of online services, it might still be going. It's tragic that it was cancelled so early into its run.
Stargate was and is my favourite of all sci fi. Stargate universes was absolutely the pinnacl for me. I had always hoped for more seasons. I will always be thinking of Eli alone on the Destiny. Always.
Universe was by far best out of all (if we do not count original movie). I honestly could not believe when I heard that dumbass Syfy pulled the plug on it and left it on cliffhanger. What did they expect, when they placed it in worst possible time slot for broadcasting. But kept shitfest TV series in prime slots. See, this is how corporate management that is completely clueless ruins an unpolished gem.
I still cannot believe they cancelled it. It was telling new and wildly innovative science fiction and could have continued going a thousand different ways. Was it too intelligent for its intended market? Great stories, great show !
Watching this, I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't give ST:U enough of a chance; I kinda quit before the fifth episode, feeling very bored, but I'm now going to go back and give it a proper chance... Thanks for posting.
I love SGU, it's actually my favorite of the three, the second season in particular is very good. That said, do keep in mind that I left out a rather large amount of meaningless filler and drama.
I hope you did that! And I hope you enjoyed it. It's certainly different than the other two series in many ways. But it was also really awesome and amazing in many other ways. I'd love to hear what you think after watching it!
A shame this series got cancelled. I loved the premise. I had gotten tired of the monster of the week formula that SG1 and SGA had been doing..even though i liked those shows too. Probably their biggest mistake was make it too gloomy, not enough brevity.
i disagree because well i know that i cant go back and watch sg1 or sga because it is too predictable too the point that the dialogue feels shit and the fact none of the tech makes any sense even from there really shit descriptions in the show's SGU is where they really tried to make the show more realistic it in the tech the gloomyness dissipated over time i personally liked the show alot
My god SGU had so much potential and the stories were just getting better and better during S2. Why SyFy canned it is beyond me. And I am so bummed they never tried to bring it back. I really think they should. If the story and the ideas were good enough I am sure all the major actors would be up for it.
They would not even need the entire cast. They have an existing way of explaining it, while slightly depressing. Some peoples pods could have failed and they died in the years they were crossing the void. In the time it took them to cross the void Earth found and set up a new Icarus planet, That way they can bring in new actors to replace the ones who did not want to come back. (replace with new characters, not recast obviously). They could even say that they knew the planet would explode after the connection so it was a one time deal. That way the "alone in deep space" feeling it not totally ruined.
Thank you for your kind words. I am continually glad to know that people enjoyed the video! I 100% agree with you. While I love all the shows, SGU is by far my favorite, I am forever frustrated by its cancellation.
God damn when you called this a monster you meant it!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!! Also, now i am so sad thanks to this reminder of what we are missing. The stargate series was something special, i only hope it can someday be renewed and finished the way it deserves.
@@ProclarushTaonas I know... it's so good though... the few bits I've seen I just love the cinematography, Rush is awesome, I wanna hurry through the other shows so I can catch up,
lov3ed this series right from the start, couldnt understand the winging fools pooh poohing this quality show.And now its gone probably forever. You get what you paid for in life even when you cant see the future you.
funny how something so feeble as all the new star treks lasted heaps longer than SGU, this show had real grit.....a real sci fi.....and those fucking bean counters killed it..
I am seeing an interesting result form doing a perfunctory analysis of two sets of videos. Taonas has done Ti videos for all three Stargate series, and Rowan J Coleman has done retrospective reviews for all three series. I'll put the results here as they currently stand, because due to the observer effect, my very posting plus the ever-present impact of internet trolling could impact these results down the road. (Hopefully these spacings will preserve): Video Views Likes Dislikes _________________________________________ TiSGU 20,363 386 3 TiSGA 22,516 342 8 TiSG1 15,890 311 6 SGU R/R 24.848 574 21 SGA R/R 19,264 563 22 SG-1 R/R 20.519 433 54 We see that in the Ti series, SGA leads in views with SGU coming in at around only 10% fewer. In the retro reviews, SGU leads with more than 25% more views than SGA. The likes and dislikes are for the most part the same. The SG-1 review contains far more dislikes and fewer likes because the reviewer had the audacity to tell SG-1 fans that he thought SGA was the better series ;). The conclusion I draw from this data is that more or less, the core fanbases love all three shows relatively equally. One thing that surprises me is that I would have thought that SG-1 would clearly lead in the numbers, since it seems to be the one that fans generally love most. There could be a few reasons to explain this. TiSG1 was Taonas' 1st video and he has stated (I believe) this wasn't his best effort because of lack of experience at the time. Or, maybe SG-1 fans are generally older and don't do RUclips? There could be perfectly logical explanations. I hope that these findings help dispel the myth that SGU is the unwanted show that nobody likes. It may have been cancelled due to ratings originally (and due to MGM bankruptcy, the failed Nielsen system, internet piracy, a SyFY network trying to appeal to wrestling fans and not sci-fi fans and generally mismanaging the whole show buy constantly shifting its timeslot), but it has (or over time has developed) the same size core fandom that each of the other series have.
Interesting observation. I agree with your conclusion and I personally love all 3 shows the same, each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I still morn SGU as I truly believe it could have become the strongest of the shows if given a full run. To confirm, I have indeed stated that TiSG1 is the weakest of the three. When I was making it I was not really sure what kind of video I was working on and it was not intentionally the start of a video format. It was not until I was finished and some people started asking for one about SGA that I realized what I had stumbled on. I count my self lucky that it is as close to my Ti format as it is. Hopefully TiSG1 Extended Edition will flush out your data once I finish it and after it has been out for a while.
Wow! That's awesome research! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to compile and analyze this. Actually, it has always been apparent that SGU was fairly well liked- looking at the numbers... It's just that the haters in this particular case were really loud and persistent which became a sort of feedback loop and generated an idea that those who liked SGU were in the distinct minority―but that is simply not true and never has been. It's also refreshing to see someone who actually understands the various factors leading up to SGU's cancellation. I also feel strongly that one of the initial reasons that fans weren't supporting it was because there was so much secrecy about it before premiering. Or maybe that's not the right way to express my thoughts… Essentially, they should have included some dialog, in at least one scene of Atlantis just posing the question & idea about the 9th chevron. Putting that idea into the fans' mind, getting them to ignite their imaginations about it. I believe if they had generated that interest ahead of time, which would have no doubt been discussed in forums and so on, the series would've had a much better chance for success and fans would've been much more willing to get through things they may not have liked as the show progressed. Although, more than virtually any sci-fi series I've seen, they really came out with their A game from the pilot. The set was stunning, the music on another whole level, the acting was poignant and compelling and I personally loved the story. I hated a lot of characters in the beginning, and how they acted. But watching them learn to survive and communicate and get along was actually one of my favorite aspects of the show.
Stargate Universe deserves a movie. I doubt they'd be able to bring back much of the original cast, though. If they can't get Robert Carlyle to reprise Dr. Rush, then... it would be tough. My guess is, they'd have to dispense with the original crew. New SGC personnel come aboard, find no one, then discover the hibernation pod setup. All the pods are empty. The crew was either killed, abducted, or gated off to a world.
Man, this is awesome. You did great job, but I hate you because you've increased my anger headed towards SyFy leaders. They should burn in hell for cancellation of SGU.
SyFy: Imagine the ending yoursel because we can't care to make it. I'm honestly surprised they're not bankrupt because of how much everyone hates them.
It's only a few minutes longer than tiSGA, you made it sound like it would be longer! Seriously, though. All of your tiSGX videos were great. I hated Universe when I first saw it, and while I still think they should have kept Atlantis for a few years, I've started to like it over time.
That seems to be a common opinion. I would have liked more seasons of both of the shows personally. As for the time, the initial cut was over 20 minutes, I had to cut it down to fit the score and because the flow in the middle was just horrid. There are still a handful of parts that feel a little off but for the life of me I could not make them better without a complete rework of the section. I figured I had delayed long enough. =D
Taonas Yeah. They both kind of ended on cliffhangers (especially SGU), and it's sad to know that neither will be resolved any time soon (the SGA legacy novels helped a little in regards to Atlantis, but they also left a lot of unanswered questions of their own).
SGU's biggest problem was the first 5 or so episodes were done badly all the ones about Air where made in a terrible jumpcut like situation which just didn't work at all for 3 fucking hours the next 2 both also had there own problems but episode 6 is where they started turning it arround and making it better i wish they continued the series because it was great
i personally find the air episodes shit because of how they jump between the future and the past constantly it is why the show failed because tons of fans saw the first 2 and just felt confused about it all because it didn't feel right
Need more series. Something serious, great, and even more grown up. I enjoyed SGU. Can they go rescue Eli and the others now? Have the Ancients be a part of things?
I had an idea for a follow up show, in like 2015 they find a abandoned Asgard ship which can cross a galaxy in like 5 mins {Thor’s Bilisnikr could} and they hook it up to a few ZPMs and send it out to rescue the crew of destiny. Or just maybe use a lantean wormhole drive to get there
Such an amazing series. I loved every bit of it, including the plot. Destiny was simply gorgeous. But of course the morons at SyFy had to cancel it, just like the 6th season of Atlantis, killing most likely the only and last hope for Stargate franchise. I hope they'll pay one day for their mistakes - one way or another.
I just realized that Universe was a very intelligent series (SG1 & SGA also are). Very much things happened in only 2 seasons... At the end of season 2 the tv show was getting a bit worse and kind of unrealistic but in overall the tv show is "very good". In comparison SG1 & SGA are better than "very good", they are "excellent" with honors, they are Epic & Legend.
That's an interesting perspective! The opinion that the the show was finally getting good in the 2nd half of the 2nd season is one that I've seen expressed often. My opinion is that although there was were some mistakes and things that could've been better peppered throughout the series, as a whole it was all remarkably good. What we began to see in the 2nd season, especially that second half is really what was getting me excited about the stories to come and the amazing ideas they had in the pipeline, but that we missed out on....
Great video! How did you remove the soundtrack from the voices? I know it's relatively simple to remove the voices from the soundtrack, but the center track also contains soundtrack.
gregthebaritone I actually did not remove anything. It's all done by carefully choosing dialogue that fits with the songs I use. In general I tweak the levels of both the music and the dialogue to blend together as best I can. There are a few clips where it was really difficult and the original background music is noticeable if you are listening for it, but in general, unless you know what the original song was, your brain will just sort of mesh the sounds together and assume it's what the song is supposed to sound like. I glad you liked the video! It took a lot of work so I really appreciate the comment!
Great setting, tons of potential, shame about a lot of the choices in the first season, started getting in it's stride by middle of season 2 but never saw a third.

All these years later im still seeing repeats on tv......and it's still my favorite series ever.
12 years later, this does a wonderful job of showing just how great this series was. I've watched the DVD set of both seasons and the thought and time everyone put into this show was just excellent.
I miss this show quite a lot. It had it's issues, but I maintain that season 2 shows that it is/could have been, the best of the three.

Watching this, I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't give ST:U enough of a chance; I kinda quit before the fifth episode, feeling very bored, but I'm now going to go back and give it a proper chance...
Thanks for posting.
I love SGU, it's actually my favorite of the three, the second season in particular is very good. That said, do keep in mind that I left out a rather large amount of meaningless filler and drama.
I hope you did that! And I hope you enjoyed it. It's certainly different than the other two series in many ways. But it was also really awesome and amazing in many other ways. I'd love to hear what you think after watching it!
Im with you, I watched the first season, and it made me wonder why this video had likes. SGU was IMO terrible from what I saw
A shame this series got cancelled. I loved the premise. I had gotten tired of the monster of the week formula that SG1 and SGA had been doing..even though i liked those shows too. Probably their biggest mistake was make it too gloomy, not enough brevity.
i disagree because well i know that i cant go back and watch sg1 or sga because it is too predictable too the point that the dialogue feels shit and the fact none of the tech makes any sense even from there really shit descriptions in the show's
SGU is where they really tried to make the show more realistic it in the tech the gloomyness dissipated over time i personally liked the show alot
Please bring back this series!
Superb! Bravo!
Honestly it made more sense that the Stargate would dial other universes
And eventually they would get to the first destination perhaps a gate lost to time
My god SGU had so much potential and the stories were just getting better and better during S2. Why SyFy canned it is beyond me. And I am so bummed they never tried to bring it back. I really think they should. If the story and the ideas were good enough I am sure all the major actors would be up for it.
They would not even need the entire cast. They have an existing way of explaining it, while slightly depressing. Some peoples pods could have failed and they died in the years they were crossing the void. In the time it took them to cross the void Earth found and set up a new Icarus planet, That way they can bring in new actors to replace the ones who did not want to come back. (replace with new characters, not recast obviously). They could even say that they knew the planet would explode after the connection so it was a one time deal. That way the "alone in deep space" feeling it not totally ruined.
Dude this was spectacular. Seeing this and knowing the show was cancelled so soon fucking infuriates me. We all lost something so good.
Thank you for your kind words. I am continually glad to know that people enjoyed the video! I 100% agree with you. While I love all the shows, SGU is by far my favorite, I am forever frustrated by its cancellation.
This video is awesome!
God damn when you called this a monster you meant it!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!! Also, now i am so sad thanks to this reminder of what we are missing. The stargate series was something special, i only hope it can someday be renewed and finished the way it deserves.
SGU was the adult of the three.
So true...
awwww yeaaah! Also, first and great so far (as I type this)!
just finished. Brilliant!
Idk why everyone hates this series. It was sooo good!
write a new series about Destiny's sister ship---Fate....which set out on the same mission , but in the opposite direction taken by the Destiny
alexander magill interesting idea
bad idea with logic.
Good name, FATE.
How would it work though, because Destiny was following a signal, that's what Destiny's mission was.
I thought Destiny translates to Fateus in Ancient. Well. Fatus Fas. In Latin Destiny translates to Nabu.
Love it!
Damn... haven't seen the show... first 5 mins are so good... RESIST
Definitely watch the show first. I spoil a great deal, that's kind of the point of the video. The show has it's flaws but it really is quite good.
@@ProclarushTaonas I know... it's so good though... the few bits I've seen I just love the cinematography, Rush is awesome, I wanna hurry through the other shows so I can catch up,
lov3ed this series right from the start, couldnt understand the winging fools pooh poohing this quality show.And now its gone probably forever. You get what you paid for in life even when you cant see the future you.
Dammit they need to bring this show back.
B Cook I hope Netflix will bring it again and give it its justice
Damn, this is a great video.
I am glad you enjoyed it!
funny how something so feeble as all the new star treks lasted heaps longer than SGU, this show had real grit.....a real sci fi.....and those fucking bean counters killed it..
Nicely done!
Thank-you
SGU was very different than SG1 and SGA but it doesn’t mean bad. In fact SGU was very good. They’re 3sides of a triangle. All good
Amazon should buy Stargate and make a season 3 or a reboot that doesn't leave us on a fucking cliff.
Big thumbs up!
I am seeing an interesting result form doing a perfunctory analysis of two sets of videos. Taonas has done Ti videos for all three Stargate series, and Rowan J Coleman has done retrospective reviews for all three series. I'll put the results here as they currently stand, because due to the observer effect, my very posting plus the ever-present impact of internet trolling could impact these results down the road. (Hopefully these spacings will preserve):
Video Views Likes Dislikes
_________________________________________
TiSGU 20,363 386 3
TiSGA 22,516 342 8
TiSG1 15,890 311 6
SGU R/R 24.848 574 21
SGA R/R 19,264 563 22
SG-1 R/R 20.519 433 54
We see that in the Ti series, SGA leads in views with SGU coming in at around only 10% fewer. In the retro reviews, SGU leads with more than 25% more views than SGA. The likes and dislikes are for the most part the same. The SG-1 review contains far more dislikes and fewer likes because the reviewer had the audacity to tell SG-1 fans that he thought SGA was the better series ;).
The conclusion I draw from this data is that more or less, the core fanbases love all three shows relatively equally. One thing that surprises me is that I would have thought that SG-1 would clearly lead in the numbers, since it seems to be the one that fans generally love most. There could be a few reasons to explain this. TiSG1 was Taonas' 1st video and he has stated (I believe) this wasn't his best effort because of lack of experience at the time. Or, maybe SG-1 fans are generally older and don't do RUclips? There could be perfectly logical explanations. I hope that these findings help dispel the myth that SGU is the unwanted show that nobody likes. It may have been cancelled due to ratings originally (and due to MGM bankruptcy, the failed Nielsen system, internet piracy, a SyFY network trying to appeal to wrestling fans and not sci-fi fans and generally mismanaging the whole show buy constantly shifting its timeslot), but it has (or over time has developed) the same size core fandom that each of the other series have.
Interesting observation. I agree with your conclusion and I personally love all 3 shows the same, each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I still morn SGU as I truly believe it could have become the strongest of the shows if given a full run.
To confirm, I have indeed stated that TiSG1 is the weakest of the three. When I was making it I was not really sure what kind of video I was working on and it was not intentionally the start of a video format. It was not until I was finished and some people started asking for one about SGA that I realized what I had stumbled on. I count my self lucky that it is as close to my Ti format as it is. Hopefully TiSG1 Extended Edition will flush out your data once I finish it and after it has been out for a while.
Wow! That's awesome research! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to compile and analyze this.
Actually, it has always been apparent that SGU was fairly well liked- looking at the numbers... It's just that the haters in this particular case were really loud and persistent which became a sort of feedback loop and generated an idea that those who liked SGU were in the distinct minority―but that is simply not true and never has been.
It's also refreshing to see someone who actually understands the various factors leading up to SGU's cancellation.
I also feel strongly that one of the initial reasons that fans weren't supporting it was because there was so much secrecy about it before premiering. Or maybe that's not the right way to express my thoughts…
Essentially, they should have included some dialog, in at least one scene of Atlantis just posing the question & idea about the 9th chevron. Putting that idea into the fans' mind, getting them to ignite their imaginations about it.
I believe if they had generated that interest ahead of time, which would have no doubt been discussed in forums and so on, the series would've had a much better chance for success and fans would've been much more willing to get through things they may not have liked as the show progressed.
Although, more than virtually any sci-fi series I've seen, they really came out with their A game from the pilot.
The set was stunning, the music on another whole level, the acting was poignant and compelling and I personally loved the story. I hated a lot of characters in the beginning, and how they acted. But watching them learn to survive and communicate and get along was actually one of my favorite aspects of the show.
To be continued... in the "Back to Destiny" comics. :-)
Stargate Universe deserves a movie. I doubt they'd be able to bring back much of the original cast, though. If they can't get Robert Carlyle to reprise Dr. Rush, then... it would be tough. My guess is, they'd have to dispense with the original crew. New SGC personnel come aboard, find no one, then discover the hibernation pod setup. All the pods are empty. The crew was either killed, abducted, or gated off to a world.
Man, this is awesome. You did great job, but I hate you because you've increased my anger headed towards SyFy leaders. They should burn in hell for cancellation of SGU.
Agree
me too
Me three
To quote another show "So say we all!"
SyFy: Imagine the ending yoursel because we can't care to make it.
I'm honestly surprised they're not bankrupt because of how much everyone hates them.
It's only a few minutes longer than tiSGA, you made it sound like it would be longer!
Seriously, though. All of your tiSGX videos were great. I hated Universe when I first saw it, and while I still think they should have kept Atlantis for a few years, I've started to like it over time.
That seems to be a common opinion. I would have liked more seasons of both of the shows personally.
As for the time, the initial cut was over 20 minutes, I had to cut it down to fit the score and because the flow in the middle was just horrid. There are still a handful of parts that feel a little off but for the life of me I could not make them better without a complete rework of the section. I figured I had delayed long enough. =D
Taonas Yeah. They both kind of ended on cliffhangers (especially SGU), and it's sad to know that neither will be resolved any time soon (the SGA legacy novels helped a little in regards to Atlantis, but they also left a lot of unanswered questions of their own).
SGU's biggest problem was the first 5 or so episodes were done badly all the ones about Air where made in a terrible jumpcut like situation which just didn't work at all for 3 fucking hours the next 2 both also had there own problems but episode 6 is where they started turning it arround and making it better
i wish they continued the series because it was great
si2foo The air episodes are great, but filled with so much unneeded crap.
i personally find the air episodes shit because of how they jump between the future and the past constantly it is why the show failed because tons of fans saw the first 2 and just felt confused about it all because it didn't feel right
Need more series. Something serious, great, and even more grown up. I enjoyed SGU. Can they go rescue Eli and the others now? Have the Ancients be a part of things?
Thanks SG Atlantis fanboys for getting this show cancelled. Be ashamed!
your welcome ;)
I had an idea for a follow up show, in like 2015 they find a abandoned Asgard ship which can cross a galaxy in like 5 mins {Thor’s Bilisnikr could} and they hook it up to a few ZPMs and send it out to rescue the crew of destiny. Or just maybe use a lantean wormhole drive to get there
You know that make a lot of sense. Power from the stars them selfs. Why no gas station.
On 2 october 2019 all stargate fans must make somethink big.
supergamer CZ why?
What do you mean? Like what? Why?
awesome
Such an amazing series. I loved every bit of it, including the plot. Destiny was simply gorgeous.
But of course the morons at SyFy had to cancel it, just like the 6th season of Atlantis, killing most likely the only and last hope for Stargate franchise. I hope they'll pay one day for their mistakes - one way or another.
I heave been hearing rumors about MGM trying to get Brad Wright to pen a new series, will just have to wait and see.
I just realized that Universe was a very intelligent series (SG1 & SGA also are). Very much things happened in only 2 seasons... At the end of season 2 the tv show was getting a bit worse and kind of unrealistic but in overall the tv show is "very good". In comparison SG1 & SGA are better than "very good", they are "excellent" with honors, they are Epic & Legend.
That's an interesting perspective! The opinion that the the show was finally getting good in the 2nd half of the 2nd season is one that I've seen expressed often.
My opinion is that although there was were some mistakes and things that could've been better peppered throughout the series, as a whole it was all remarkably good. What we began to see in the 2nd season, especially that second half is really what was getting me excited about the stories to come and the amazing ideas they had in the pipeline, but that we missed out on....
Destiny has this Name for one purpose: I´ts Mission is science.
Great video! How did you remove the soundtrack from the voices? I know it's relatively simple to remove the voices from the soundtrack, but the center track also contains soundtrack.
gregthebaritone I actually did not remove anything. It's all done by carefully choosing dialogue that fits with the songs I use. In general I tweak the levels of both the music and the dialogue to blend together as best I can. There are a few clips where it was really difficult and the original background music is noticeable if you are listening for it, but in general, unless you know what the original song was, your brain will just sort of mesh the sounds together and assume it's what the song is supposed to sound like.
I glad you liked the video! It took a lot of work so I really appreciate the comment!
Great setting, tons of potential, shame about a lot of the choices in the first season, started getting in it's stride by middle of season 2 but never saw a third.
Only thing this show missed out on was encountering real civilizations.
How the hell did this show not have 6 or seven seasons??????????????
Were there scenes that were not in the first two seasons? I dont remember some of this
The into uses footage from SG-1 and SGA. Everything else is from Universe.
A mieli tylko przeskoczyć jedną galaktykę z robiło się 12 lat gdy czekamy na 3 sezon SARGATE UNIERSUM. Oczywiście pradawni po astedecji oblali temat związany z sygnałem który otrzymali i wysłali statki kture miały budować wrota i Przeznaczenie na które mięli się udać
I can'tf find thef music "Icon Audio - Warrior", do you have a source ?
I don't think that their stuff is common on RUclips. I have added a link to the track to the description next to it's time stamp. Enjoy!
What is music in this video?
Description has been updated to include the music. Thank you I had forgotten to do that.
Volta Ao ar novamente 🙏🙏
I know #SpaceForceman misses the show and his spaceship also....
