"SGU" Cancelled While "Sanctuary" Has Been Renewed!

hate on me all you want, but i am really pleased they cancelled sgu.
it didn't belong in the sg universe in the first place, so the only loss i still mourn is sga, but good for
sanctuary

well, this was hardly a news post.

the reason is almost undoubtedly budget related... sanctuary costs about 1/10 as much to produce an
episode as sgu does

i hope the writers had fun exploring their "human drama" and "complex social dynamics" at the
expense of any future for the series... they had a massive built in fanbase, proceeded to say "fuck
off, this is what we want to do" and took all the best parts of sg away.. namely the scifi
action/aliens/weird shit and also the humor.. and subbed in a bunch of soap opera bullshit to stroke
their oscar lust or whatever the fuck they were doing, wanting to be "serious and edgy" or whatever

saw it coming from 10 miles away.. sg is not bsg, they should have kept the original sg flavors and
just expanded on it, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel

i will say that the show was finally starting to get good right at about the last 3 or 4 episodes
that were shown... but that was way too little way too late

oh well, mgm is retaining the license, they want to keep making sg stuff.. so who knows what will
happen now

does anyone know and address for sy fy to write too so that i can inform them of my displeasure. i
mean dam the channel is nothing but the stand,langolears, reality shows and crap movies. sgu was the
only reason i watched sy fy now. i tried sanctuary but i just did not like it warehous 13 is ok but i
won't care if i miss a season same goes with urika (whaterever the spelling) it seems that since the
name change from sci-fi to sy fi the channel is just not worth it. if the changed it to a premium channel
like nick jr and i lost it i would not care.

it would be nice if the brits picked up sgu

so, it's cancelled...will they play the last episodes of the season at least?

sgu budget was significant bigger than sanctuary.


look they tried to make sgu a deeply character dependent show, and that requires forethought and
planning and character development.

tell me why rush was a villain, than a good guy every week.. the show tried to show that there could
be a moral grey, but the bouncing back and forth wasnt something that could be pulled off by
showrunners. some shows you actually feel the middle, grey area, sgc couldn't pull it off.

mmmm amanda tapping :3

syfy, another victim of the scourge called reality show. where they production costs are as low as it's
enterainment value. i find watching reality shows not to differ from being hooked on infomercials. same
form of masochism. sgu was different in the sg camp. they tried, but couldnt really hit the mark. shame.
sanctuary i dont care for much. never liked amanda tapping much. though she was fine in sg1, but
annoying in the later series. but i would still support a bad scripted series over any, any reality show. no
wonder a new network is being sought after.

so they aren't gonna make the last 10 episodes to finish the season? thats it. cliff hanger? can't they at
least get them home kinda like when star trek voyager was about to get cancelled and they made it
the series finale. and just get them the fock home?

finally that bloody train wreck comes to an end, my only regret is that i didnt get to see young get torn
to pieces by something

im completely pissed at this... all the good shows are going!! im a fax of both sanctuary and sgu why
cant they get rid of all the crap that they have and leave good shows going!!!

it's just gotta be said... i'm a die hard stargate fan.. but i can tell you now, i'm totally not pissed sgu
has been cancelled, it was totally crap and should not have ever been bought to our screens, instead
they should've renewed sga, tho sg1 was my favourite. i'm really happy that they have also
renewed sanctuary for another season this programme rocks, hopefully we'll get to see the return of
ashley, i can see it now too.. after season 4.. sanctuary season 5 will be next ^^ bring em on, oh! and
no more mid season breaks please! it's annoying as hell when you watch 6-7 tv programmes and they
all have the same mid break at the same time >.<

they'll probably splash out for 1 sgu film to finish off the story.. the official website says that there are
2 sga films in the pipelines but when that happens is anyones guess.

i'd rather they blow the ship up and kill them all off... thats one message that the fans would get that
the universe is huge, dangerous, aliens not to be messed with, (unlike all the other sg's where we
humans prevail all the time), ok, maybe save 3 people.. scot, cloe, and the nurse woman, (cant
remember her name), that'll do as i felt these 3 characters were the only 3 that i liked and had any
decent story in sgu, if those 3 wasn't in it, i most definatly wouldn't have watched it.

anyhows, they most probably will finish off the series, so they'll be able to gain some money back
from dvd sales, unless they just release the last 10 episodes with the dvd release to make us people go
out and buy it to see what happens to them all, which would be totally evil if they did.. lol
