In its final season, this is one space opera that deserves to be put out of its misery. [11 Mar 2011, p.70]

SEASON 2
The series started off a little slow, and soap-opera like, but season two has set the show on track to follow a story-line similar in style to previous incarnations of the Stargate franchise. It's a real shame that the SyFy is risking its identity by not renewing the series. It has been showing a lot of promise, and has a huge fan-base. It's my personal favorite out of all of the Stargate series, it's simply more realistic.

SEASON 2
This is the best sci-fi series since BSG. It's just a shame that Syfy killed it with poor scheduling and rebranding of the network. If a more mainstream network had picked this show up instead, we'd probably be looking at another 10 seasons of Stargate. While I'm a fan of SG-1 and SGA, I feel that SGU was definitely the best, though sadly the shortest lived of the three. SG-1 was a bit campy, which seems to be what people miss the most that are harshly rating SGU with a "0" score. I'm not sure where it's written down that sci-fi is supposed to contain bucket loads of comedy, but I don't subscribe to that view. Goodbye SGU, those of us that are true Stargate and sci-fi fans will miss you dearly!

SEASON 2
The second season is an improvement but it could not save the show. Actually I gave up after watching season 1 but did view season 2 out of curiosity and noticed the improvement. My main point of season 1 was that while the premise and ideas were rally good the characters and episodes were not remarkable aka mediocre. Here they have better stories that made me to want to see more and the characters work much better. The premise of the show is solving the 9th chevron riddle. The Stargates operate by using chevrons. With 7 you can travel inside the galaxy to another Stargate and an 8th chevron is used for a Stargate in another galaxy (Much more energy consumption!). What the 9th does is unclear as the Ancients (Stargate builders / Precursor race with technology that was incredibly advanced) information is not understood. Dr. Rush the leading scientist creates a puzzle based on Ancients algorithms in a multiplayer RPG videogame to find young brilliant minds for the project. They solved this but are stranded on the ancient Ancient spaceship Destiny. The precursor race of the Ancient discovered some strange patterns in the young universe that cant be explained naturally and sent the Destiny to investigate. Our protagonist stranded on the ship that is so far away that returning home or even sending the fastest ship to rescue them does not work. Season 2 continues the struggles for survival as other Galaxies are dangerous and the Destiny caught attention to just name a few problems. Like I said this season is better and from here on I would like to follow the characters and stories. Sadly it was too late and the show was canceled. Overall this was an improvement and for me good enough to watch. I freely admit that it still was weaker than Stargate and Stargate Atlantis but not garbage.

SEASON 2
As someone who was a huge fan of both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, I've always been very disappointed in Stargate Universe. While some enjoy the drama, space soap that Stargate Universe adopted, I'm one of those that just did not. What made Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis work was the fact that it was cheesy, it never took itself seriously. Stargate Universe is the exact opposite.
There are very few characters that actually peak my interest, and those that do get very little screen time. The only parts that I actually can say that I enjoyed were the crossovers with characters from the old series.
What it really comes down to, though, is whether or not you like the space soap opera genre. It's never appealed to me, so of course Stargate Universe isn't going to appeal to me. If you like that style, then this is the show for you. Unfortunately, I can't say this is a show that I enjoy watching, no matter how much I wanted to like it.

SEASON 2
First time i have commented but just so BAD i had to write something somewhere.
Get the previous Star Gate writers back. Universe has so much potential and each episode is worse than the last. This series won't last. Boring episodes and the series is going nowhere !
Explore the bloody ship ! If i wanted a drama I'd watch 'days of our lives' !
Really people, with such successes of the previous Star Gate series why on earth, or any planet :-), would you go so far from the original filming style. This episode was so predictable, and the long music scenes at the end of most episode are getting old very fast.
