And I'm not complaining because I like the show, I also talk about people complaining about movies and tv shows in general whether I like those movies/tv shows or not. The legitimate chance you mention seems to be only a few episodes and not an entire season or so, unlike you.

SG fans turning on SG might actually be a bad thing because if they want to spice up any future SG series and add new things they will look at SGU as a precedent and be afraid to push the boundaries of SG. Sure the old things that made Stargate, Stargate worked but how long until we will want something more than just the regular old SG formula? How many times can we use the same formula and just add fresh faces and change the scenery? How many more times can there be a Lt. Colonel in charge with a genius type member, an alien who kicks ass and the sensitive, more in tune with cultures and different people type?

With SG-1 actually being canceled after so long without a proper send off, the show that probably put Syfy on the map, SGA being canceled after 5 seasons also without a proper send off and now SGU being canned after 2 seasons, what if Syfy will take a break from any new SG series and focus on cheaper alternatives like Warehouse 13, Eureka and Sanctuary?



The two episodes that stand out the most from season 2 are episode 8 Malice and 9 Visitation. Malice features the actor who played the main villain in Heroes season 4. Episode 5 Cloverdale is also interesting because the majority of that episode is from Scott's view via dream-like state which re-imagines everyone on Earth with Young as his father, Chloe as his fiancee and others playing different parts.
That much fail gave me an anyeurism. I'll be back later when my brain recovers from the staggering amount of stupid in there.
