This show deserved at least one more season. Shame on those who cancelled it.
Well the network kept messing them around and that caused the ratings to drop
It also did not help that MGM was essentially bankrupt. This show should have never left it's Friday Night slot.
Actually, they were already recycling ideas.
There was a time I would have agreed with you, but after the destruction of some of my favorite shows of all time, I say it is better to let it die than to tarnish its memory with a trash ending.
Season 2 was too little too late to recover from Season 1's mistakes.
The final scene of this series, when Destiny vanishes in the distance in FTL, is like the show continuing on, but we're being left behind.
Dont say that 😢
Powerful.
9 years ago already?! This show deserved better.
talks say there is a new continuead series from all 3 being created on scripted as we speak for new series bring back some of the loved people from the 3 for its cast as well as new obvs. i hope it pans out then rona hit and everything went to hold for now so best hopes
@@roguemajin46290 they keep talking about it though so thats something

6 years to long they nead to wake up 😭
I refuse to watch the SyFy channel due to the company cancelling SGU. That was the sole show that I liked on the network. And FYI, Eli (actor David Blue) has a Twitch channel and Discord channel that he's very active in so check it out if you're an Eli fan.
Universe had some issues but whoever was in charge of the soundtrack over the two seasons deserves an award.
It was Joel Goldsmith, son of legendary film composer Jerry Goldsmith. Sadly, Joel too has since passed away.
Flogging molly = worst day since yesterday 👌🏻 was my personal favourite loved the soundtracks for both seasons
@@daniellejasper2877 Alexi Murdoch's Breathe was another fave scene/song from the show for me.
The track in this moment is just haunting. The moving line along side the melody is just... incredible.
I’m mad that they never released it
I don't care how most people hated this series I loved it so much. And this music is beautiful.
+Rachel Mears Most people did *not* hate this series. It was a kicking and screaming loud minority of complainers who made it seem like the majority of people hated it. For example, if you look at the IMDB breakdown, almost 70% give this an 8.0/10.0 or above. The minority was only 4.3% of the people who gave this a 1.0.
@@gregthebaritone The loudest always get their way. Its an unfortunate trait of humanity. Unfortunately, the content don't speak up in time so the malcontents always get heard.
All I have to say is, it isn’t too late to revisit this show. To the best of my knowledge, all of the cast are still alive, maybe a bit longer in the tooth but that would work well in continuing the story.
@@bomat761 You are so right!
jac bas okay, where do we start!
What I loved so much about the finale was that the three main characters finally realized what had been holding them back all along and they changed.
One realized there was more to life than making sure everyone knew you were the smartest man in the room and he humbled himself. One realized that he can't control the fate of the universe no matter how hard he tries or how brave he is and he lets go of his need to always be in charge. And one realizes he's not just a geeky gamer that got lucky but an actual hero that can and will do the right thing when everyone is depending on him.
It's tragic we never got to see where they went from here, they were practically three new characters.
It really felt to me, as someone who really hated the earlier parts of the show, like the characters and story were finally set up perfectly for some really great story telling. It's a shame we never saw that happen, but hopefully when Amazon completes the MGM acquisition and makes more stargate we can finally get some closure for the characters.
Actually there is a comic that gives us more.
I don't remember the name but I'll find it and edit my comment when I do.
'Back to Destiny' is the name.
I had a rough time getting through the first season but by the end of the second I was exactly super disappointed because of this very reason. The things I didn't like about the main characters was finally gone away with, a new fresh adventure hardened perspective was finally in play, just to see it end :/ Not to mention the destriny's mission/ story ark is one of the more interesting ideas in the stargate franchise. I really would've liked to see what the "sign" of intelligence at the beginning of time is or was. (Super cool concept whether they went "God" or "Super advanced species" either way I'd been cool honestly, or never knowing really just learning "things" about it to let the viewer draw their own conclusions/speculation. Ah maybe this reboot of stargate pans out, time will tell!
There’s already been confirmation that the new SG project will answer the questions of what happened to Destiny.
I don't get why people hated this show so much. It was much darker than the original stargate but it was still an amazing show. I hated hearing it got cancelled
The musical score for this closing scene is amazing. One of the best science fiction series ever, but Hollywood doesn’t understand this kind of storytelling anymore.
This music very much gives me nearly the same feeling that the opening music of 'Silent Running' gave me all those years ago when it opened in theaters. Masterful.
Unfortunately the potential audience doesn’t understand it anymore either. Attention spans are about 30 seconds these days
@@DorianF244 Facts!!! If it isn't about constant sex or constant bang bang shoot em up.... it doesn't do well in the current entertainment landscape. I loved SGU because it was about flawed complicated people put in a very complicated circumstance. It was a human drama. It's the kind of television that rotated around inner conflict, turf wars and the human ego.
Stargate Universe was the kind of television that made you think. That's the complete opposite of most television these days. I hope that one day they bring it back in one form or another.
@@The_Frozen_1 totally agree, it makes me sad. You can’t make quality content in 30seconds that doesn’t amount to slapstick or just low brow anything
Every so often I look for real recoding of this score by Joel Goldsmith. All I can do is settle for edited versions from episode audio.
This is one of the best endings in television history in my opinion. The soundtrack, the simple visuals and the ship shutting down the same way it started up. Ely looking at the FTL travel and smiling is an overwhelming thing to see given how much they went through and how much they lost.
This was beautiful because it ended but the last scene lasts forever when I hear the Gauntlet theme.
True. It is on par with the ending of person of interest for me.
bruh how was it a good ending, it felt like the series finally getting started after 1 and a half shitty seasons and then it got cancelled
thats show business@@j4ckpot1994
Ely.... its been 7 years... 5 years too long. You can wake them up now.
I AGREE ! LOOK MAN NETFLIX MADE A NEW STAR TREK ! WE WANT 3RD SEASON STARGATE ONLY !
@@allsalis first its not netflix who did it and that star trek is more star wars then anything. The Orville is the true new star trek. And when they want to make a new Stargate series and they change anything that made Stargate Stargate then do not count me in.
❤
Richard Dean Anderson doubt you’re the real RDA. But on the off chance you are. Thankyou for all your hard work on the Stargate show. You acted O’Neil really well. Thanks.
Maybe Eli miscalculated and Destiny now drifts through space..
I miss Stargate Universe.
Oh god, I just finished it a hour ago. Stargate (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) was the best series I have ever watched. Way better than all Star Treks and anything :(
@@heffalumptarkin1384 you need to give The Expanse a try
@@MG-bs5mr Maybe ;)
@@heffalumptarkin1384 seriously, I scoffed at it as I'm a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, but I watched it and its great.
@@MG-bs5mr Expanse is BSG level? Well damn, that's all you had to say.
Such missed potential, watching this scene again reminded me of how good this show was.
To me they tried to hard to get a younger audience --- or I was already to old at that time. In any case it obviously didn't work out.
The show had potential, but it was ruined by the ridiculous communication stones and the terrorist raid at the end of season 1. These elements completely destroyed the sense of being lost in an unknown region of space, millions and millions light years away from Earth, when the main characters could magically swap bodies with people on Earth (for boring filler episodes by the way) and visit their friends and family... or when some rogue Milky Way organization can just use the Stargate to attack the ship at any time. For me, this show should've cut all ties with the whole Milky Way, the moments the characters stepped foot on Destiny and just focus entirely on survival, exploration of the unknown, the alien race that was chasing the ship, and the mysterious structures discovered in some of the planets visited by the crew. Atlantis did a way better job at this, with the only exception that the characters weren't lost, and they obviously couldn't cut ties with the Milky Way entirely, because Earth ships could still travel the distance.
@@Soulfly415 yeah I agree, the body swapping only detracted from the premise of being truly lost in space far removed from everyone.
2019 Reporting in, and this whole sequence is still as heart-wrenching as it was the first time. Absolutely dying for a new SG series!!
If they ran that scene in 2020 they wouldnt have men. Probably all sis gendered women. Most the cast would have to be black and tough guys. All the tyranical baddies would be white. All slavery would only happen to non whites. There would be no Ori or anything at prophets bringing a new religion with a book. Most plots would be about saving the environment of planets. The wraith would develop a consensus with sgc to prevent overconsumption. Any other plotlines would be censored if they were not politically correct. ALL the stunning female actors would be removed or uglified so as not to objectify them.
@@bartconnolly6104 what the fuck are u talking about lmfao
@@bartconnolly6104 lmao i totaly see them do that
@@johnyseimah229 Honestly, I wish they would, for no other reason than to piss these kind of people off, and watch them whine and complain and become the very thing they pretend to stand against. That would be quite entertaining to see. Few things are as pathetic to witness as the Counter-Cancel-Culture Cancel Culture cancelling while they whine about cancellers, LOL
@@bartconnolly6104 Precisely.
It remains one of TV's biggest crimes that SGU got cancelled. It was a fresh perspective which the franchise badly needed, it was gritty, dark, well acted, and well written. Such a damn shame it never got finished.
amen to that..
I think most poeple didnt grasp the scope of the intrigue, it was outstanding.
It was cancelled because the fans didn't like it.
@@dxgi3737 more so with MGM Bankruptcy...
@@dxgi3737 im a die hard stargtae fan and i liked it so what are u talking about ??? it was cancelled cause the suits established an insane goal that wasnt met..... pure and simple.. u cant just redesign the concept in order to get something darker and more grim and then expect it to perform the same way the franchise did all those years prior
I take this ending as a positive. The smile he gives is one of hope for me. I think he fixed the life pod and survived along with the others. What can I say. I am a postitive person and can't believe in a bad ending.
I often find myself coming back to this video. 9 years ago now this first aired..... poor Eli.
There are plans in the works from Brad Wright (producer I believe of sg1/ sga /sgu) for a fouth stargate series. It probably wont be about destiny however hopefully it will give some closure about what happened to the crew. That's if a streaming service does decide to even pick up the series.
MeerkatProductions yea but someone from old crew will be nice
@@ivo3598 There would be cameos, just like how there were cameos in sgu and stuff
Eli always reminded me of my partner, who unfortunately passed from Covid almost 2 years ago. So, this scene really gets me.
Distance can be measured in different ways.
My condolences for your partner
I will love you here or there, now or then, may there come a day we need not part
If it helps, I was planning on traveling to a parallel universe this summer, one in which this show went on for another five seasons. So, if anyone wants me to bring back some DVD/BluRays from seasons 3 through seven, let me know. :)
bring one back for me please!
wow, can i get one?
Can you check if they have season 2 of Firefly as well?
Consider it done.
it is need for everyone=)
As poorly as this show started (as all the other series did), it really grew into something fantastic. People don't seem to appreciate the darker tone that this series brought, and I found it refreshing as the show became progressively better. The last few episodes were in my opinion StarGate at its best and most mature.
I liked the less than perfect characters as opposed to the usual paragons of the SGC.
I didn't mind the darker tone, but I fucking hated the 5% sci-fi to 95% aimless drama split they got into.
This show did not start poorly. The writers patiently developed the characters and the setting so that by the time the second season started, when the stakes were high, the audience actually cared about them and were vested in their survival. The writers of Stargate always played the long game and had a fanatical attention to detail, and wow did that pay off with this show. SGU is unquestionably the best show ever created.
Jarl Knudsen That is a strong opinion, but I can appreciate that. That's part of what made this show so interesting. The darker tone polarized the fanbase, with some arguing the show as a natural evolution on the themes of the franchise while others criticized it as removing all of the fun and energy from Stargate (albeit I thought some of the later stuff from the SG1 and Atlantis series bordered on unbearable slapstick humor).
I personally found the arc of SGU very fufilling. There were some truly great stories tucked in there. From the looks of it, the Stargate movie trilogy that is currently in development hell will adapt a darker tone as well, so despite ignoring the TV canon, it would be amazing to see Stargate reborn.
It was a soap opera ... not a sci fi show.
It even had the clasic "estoy embarazada" at some point.
I loved the idea of ancient unmanned ships traveling the universe and plating star-gates.
I loved that they really were stranded ..... unlike Atlantis where in season 2 they had powerful enough engines to span the distance between two galaxies in two months.
But instead of showing that, they filled the episodes with 90% soap opera and that's why I hated it.
"I've never been more sure of anything in my life." - The most beautiful english sentence ever! ❤
They know there's a novel telling us how the series ends???
I just rewatched it. 9 years later... I think it will become a classic tv series.
this scene is an end to 17 amazing seasons that will forever be a part of my soul. it doesn't matter what comes next... this is how i will remember this show.
I don't know how many times I've seen this scene... But every single time I watch it... I'm like... :__(
i just get angry, than i read the comic, that continues SGU and i am a bit less angry...but just a bit
iLeoVlogs my childhood was idealogical and misguided.
me to
iLeoVlogs my 2 man so sad
Pitch Black what where what comic ?????
This scene and music gives me the craziest chills every single time
I just keep coming back to this scene. I love the parallels between this and the first episode. I miss the heck out of this show
No gratuitous violence, no over the top acting, no token alien scene. Just good drama with solid acting from all cast members.
Why, MGM? Why?
Martin Hwang
Theres also no chemistry or likeable characters either.
@@colonelcoover There was chemistry and once the writers stopped forcing them to act like douchebags, many of the characters were likeable, even Dr. Rush after a fashion.
MGM went through Bankruptcy proceedings. They literally couldn't afford it anymore. I just wanted someone to pick up the show... even if it's later and the cast is older... so what? The ancient stasis pods just slowed the aging. They must have malfunctioned.
@@Zxarr but remember this ship is old AF the stasis pods could be the earliest of models more to keep people alive and doesn't slow down ageing as much as the later ones as seen in SGA maybe slows down ageing 1/2 to 1/3 even if there is no age slowing it was meant to be a 3 year trip to explain this as seen already in SGU the ship and FTL drive are already damage to hell at the very last tinny tinny bit of the trip a weak link in the FTL drive could give out and they spend 15 or so years a drift then 15 or so years later Destiny reaches a star and majestically dives in to it for fuel. boom the opening to SGU season 3 that explains why the cast is older and can still be lore friendly. wish it would happen watching the Destiny dive in to a star for fuel would look awesome in modern CGI.
Too much drama not enough sci fi. That's literally what shows like SGU were and still are lacking to this day. If you are looking for everyday, same old, boring drama...... Watch a show that doesn't require million dollar sets. I CAME for the aliens, tech and conflict.
Sci-Fi show written by people more suited for soap opera's, of course the acting was hammy.
I could echo (most of) the sentiments expressed below, but instead I'll take the time to compliment everyone involved with the show for pulling together what has to be one of the best show finales of all time. In case you missed it, the scenes featuring the lights going out across the ship were clearly an homage to the franchise itself coming to and end; sadly so that the last of the sets to go dark was of the stargate itself. So, to one and all involved in this show (and the others), well done.
True.. but they the goal was to make it home? They never did..?
Yet the franchise lives. It’s just no one knows it. They just made a prequel series.
@@MichaelMopar69 The goal was to reach ascension! The mission is all that matters now! Uncovering the true meaning of Destiny.
Must be another obedient Young follower here *sighs*... We all know Rush is the real mastermind! We're not going home! Use a spirit stone if you get home sick... 😛😅
Eli flying off into the black not knowing what would happen to him is still one of the better series endings
As a show, SGU had some struggles compared to SG1 and SGA. But the direction, music and some of the acting like in this last scene were heartfelt masterpieces. I grieve for the stories we lost. I celebrate the artistry that went into a show like this, and I pray that some day our media companies will resume telling these sorts of stories again. Goodnight Eli. Godspeed.
They know there's a novel telling us how the series ends???
Under-rated. I listened to the critics and skipped it. Binged the series on Netflix. Loved it.
It's a shame that the reason I loved this show so much, the fact that it was so different to other sci-fi shows, was the very same reason long-time sci-fi fans hated it so much. Thank you, SGU - for being as different as you were.
I hope we get some kind of closure or conclusion to this awesome series someday.
I felt that this was the best SG series. It was dark and gritty, yes, but well done and with a great premise. At least it has continued in comic form.
Although I feel sad every time I watch that video, it gives me hope that many people are still here and still believe that SGU might return, like I do

As much as I hated the finale, this last scene at least was what showed how amazing SGU was and could've been. The three best characters, with that final nod of acknowledgement from Rush, that solemn bow as Young went into stasis and of course the star, Eli Wallace, walking and enjoying the view one last time.
Men I miss stargate.. O love them all. SG1 , SGA and SGU was my fav.
Same ...
They should re-start stargate tbh... much better than that crap Another Life (i guess it was) on Netflix. Also the Star Trek I find boring.
They know there's a novel telling us how the series ends???
Given this final scene, the musical score is absolutely beautiful. Very well done.
2023 here. It's been 11 years. I wish Amazon would at least do a movie or something.
this show ended so abruptly. So much potential...
Agreed 😣😞
this was by far my favourite stargate show, i loved how they managed to bring some characters that werent just generic casts, the military tough guy, the nerdy allergic dude and the exotic "alien", but actually characters with personality and some background that gave them reasons to act the way they did. the story had so much potential, its a real shame they stopped the production. loved it and somehow am still looking forward for that one dude at mgm that gives green light to start again.
Anyone who asks “what does heartbreak feel like?” Show them SGU and this final scene. 😢
@Keeva2006 I swear I tear up when someone mentions the final scene. And fitting that JMS turned off the lights on B5.
@Keeva2006 Completely agree, I re-watched Babylon 5 a couple of months ago, the CGI didn't age well but that isn't surprising, but that show had some of the most amazing character arcs and depth I have ever seen, nothing comes close.
I enjoyed every Stargate series. When i think about the way this one ended, my brain thinks they will be in stasis forever.
When this series ended so did sci-fi pretty much. The channel went from something captivating to 1950's giant creature attack remakes.
I would love to be frozen in metallic hydrogen instantly, wake me in a couple thousand.
This was a good spin off they should make a Stargate Universe movie just to close it out
I agree, one more extended to finish, it really annoys me that series are left hanging
Rex Video Games I agree also, how many years did he have to stay alone while everyone else went into suspended animation, I can’t remember
@@danielfarrell574 He couldn't. He had 3 weeks to repair the last stasis pod and enter it. There wasn' t enough food or life support to last for the 3 years in the intergalactic void where the ship couldn't refuel.
All that was needed was a single 90 minute episode with Eli and Ginn for the cast. While working on the stasis pod repair Eli hits a dead end so he figures out how to "unbox" Ginn from the computer where he put her to save Rush. While repairing the stasis pod they come across some equation/latent stardrive capability that can get them back to the milky way galaxy, Life support runs out so Eli reluctantly goes into stasis and Ginn implements the solution. Show ends with her waking Eli as the ship enters the Milky Way and they spend sometime together before waking everyone else...

Just finished binge watching SGU yet again. SGU was ahead of it's time, people weren't ready for another space scifi series in 2010.. fast forward to 2020, this show would make a killing today especially with Netflix and how popular space and scifi series are on Netflix. MGM needs to work out a deal get season 3 going. They did a fantastic job with SGU and I don't think SG fans at the time were ready for the different style of filming and editing they used for SGU but I loved it. It was more mature, realistic, better props, better CGI, better filming quality etc. This show would more than likely do very well in ratings today than it did then.

After decades and decades, many seem to totally miss the value of appreciating something while it is running, and instead push for its removal, not realizing having less (or having nothing at all) is even worse. Plus, they only thin of themselves, and their own personal entertainment value, completely ignoring those who DO enjoy it... as if they don't matter.
Amazon owns stargate franchise mgm now
@@tik68 Really??? Has there been any talk of bringing back SGU by any chance?
@@The_Frozen_1 who knows...
Absolutely loved this show .. keep watching it on repeat. No matter what any one says it deserved a chance better than it got. I truly hope that in time someone revives it and let's it continue.
At least the show left off here, so that at some point it could be brought back and continued.... hopefully it will.
Well MgM would have to get back into the tv making gig again along with making all the sets from scratch as they were all sold.
It's more than unlikely because the set is already dismantled and probably destroyed. And now they are making a reboot of the Stargate franchise, so it is much more unlikely that they will continue the old stuff.
SGU was also never a money maker and every episode is expensive, so there is no reason to continue it.
It's over, realize it.
All you can do is buy the books and read the continued story there.
wait, there are books?!
David hewlett owns most of the sgu props and sets they are just sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be brought back to life.
They also digitized all the sets before they dismantled them so that they could be used later. Remember most environments in TV shows are not real locations now
This show truly had a beautiful soundtrack
It's a shame they didn't release it officially
joel goldsmith really nailed the score here. love that the whole piece remains unresolved as the credits appear.....maybe hinting at things to come. superb.
Fingers crossed 😍

This series, universe or whatever deserves a proper ending. The great cast gave it their all. The SG crowd loves em.
I know a lot of people who liked SG1 and SGA did not like SGU. But SGU always has been something different.
There's less humour, but it's a story that dragged me in and made it into my personal favourite show ever. The moody tone and the premise of following god was just so enchanting towards me, these hopelessness and the knowledge that they are getting farther and farther away from home...
Broke my heart when I learned that there will be no more...
Edit: Just to make myself clear, I love SG1 and SGA was okay as well, but it did not catch me as much as SG1.
Frankly I prefer both SGA & SGU over SG1, SGA is a better version of SG1 & SGU is just overall better because it's a purposefully a long-term story arc & those are more demanding, more risky for TV shows but also the most rewarding. But I disagree that there's less humor, it's just a different type of humor... serious humor.
is there place to finsh this show story ? like comic or someting els i want to know the end of it
msms47 There is (used to be) a very well written fan script for series 3 which use to be here www.philotic.com/stargate/ BUT is no longer there. Hopefully that link will help you find it though as it really helps with the "completion process" ;)
Landibert I think this was a bit more cerebral then the others and I enjoyed all 3 series.
J ML
In the end I enjoyed all three of them as well. I really liked the beginning of SGA but I was kinda disappointed because I expected SGA to be what SGU would be later. I hoped for more actual survival problems, which disappeared very fast in SGA.
I have been a wild fan of Stargate since I saw the original film on VHS. I liked SGU from the moment it started. My heart is broken.
Considering that series and show structures have changed considerably from the 90s, Stargate Universe and its surrounding drama has aged relatively well. Rather than new Stargate spinoffs, I would love to see the continuation of this series.
This series had all the endless options of the universe. I would have loved to see just one of them.
I remember the gut renching feeling watching this. I for one loved the series!
This was a great way to end a series. Moving to different parts of the ship, shutting down lights and fans, the feeling of closure is well executed. Too often,the closure is bungled, leaving a feeling of "If it came back, I wouldn't want to watch it." This was closed so well that I would like to see it come back.
When the Main piano theme hits at 1:16 and Eli has this look of peace on his face it just makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Damn dust in my eyes!
I'm just sad that we never got to see what happened to Eli and the rest of the crew
just wondering but did any one notice that in the first Ep everything was powering up and now here at the last Ep everything is powering down
For me that was the best thing about the ending, it was like in the pilot episode Destiny wakes up, but now it is going back to sleep for 3 Years.
yup so sad. #Season3plz
Justin Loyd i would have at least wanted one last episode i mean COME ON
do a movie like SG1 did
So, the ship that couldn't stop, was going to sleep......... Makes sense
the way this series got cancelled right as it was opening up after all its world building is absolutely criminal. this was, by far, my favorite sg series
Shame people weren't so excited about it at the time, the fans destroyed SGU. And now it's the bomb.
I miss the SG franchise. Nothing will never be the same without these wonderful people both in front of the camera and behind. SG1, SG Atlantis and SGU all missed forever.
December 2023, still haven't recovered from this.
Yes, Stargate Universe grew to be my favorite.. It has more depth than it's predecessors.
Wish there was more episodes
It's like "Lost" in space, without being "Lost in Space".
Let's be clear here: This is not the final ending of Stargate Universe, but the final ending of Season 2. This Stargate show was very well-made, had great potential and a strong fanbase. It was cancelled only because the TV network in 2010 made a stupid decision to broadcast the show in a different timeslot where most people didn't or couldn't watch. And thus the ratings of the show dropped and the show got cancelled. It pisses me off to this day, because I liked the show very much!
ReptorULTRA7 While I love your enthusiasm, I fear that it is the ending of Stargate Universe and not the ending of season 2. No more seasons were announced for SGU and no other series based on Stargate are currently planned. MGM are planning to reboot the franchise, although I am not sure I am waiting for that...
Daniel Brongers Yes, I know. Unfortunately SGU as we know it is dead. Any remake is going to fail for sure, because it won't be the same actors, sets, writers and production crew.
I agree, but if I remember correctly, the original Stargate was featured Kurt Russel (as Jack O' Neill), while in the series Richard Dean Anderson played him (in which he did an excellent job by the way), which actually worked. What I am most worried about is the fact that the reboot will be in conflict with the current Stargate storyline, with Stargate Universe still (very) fresh in our memory. Personally, I would like to see a movie, or continuation of the Universe storyline, because I sense that that story wasn't quite finished yet when that show got cancelled...
***** That's a good way of putting it.
the scripts for the 3rd season and bringing the story to an actual end can be found online.
more of a miniseries to tie it up than an actual season tho I suppose
They really need to bring them back I miss them great show. They can just say it took longer than 3 years

One of the best piano arrangements ever.
Universe was the only STARGATE series I didn't work on and is the only one I watched every episode of.
One thing I do like about the Internet is that items like this can live on for years far after they have become memories.
I never could keep up with this series and had never seen anything about the final episode until watching this video.
Thank You.
thanks a lot for this scene. I saw all the episodes on tv and it so sad that they don't make more episodes . . . .
Such a beautiful ending even to say the ending of the franchise. Despite knowing everything that happens I now want to rewatch the whole series again. That's how well it was produced and I know I'm not alone in thinking that.
SGU is just like District 9. In District 9 we are told it will take 3 Years for the aliens to get back, we are still waiting for the sequel. In SGU we are told it will take them 3 years to make the trip, we are still waiting for season 3.
you can wait as long as you wan't, but there will never be season 3 for SGU..

I almost feel the same way about a District 9 sequel
***** It was just a vague similarity between the 2 because of the whole wait 3 years thing
They also both dealt with trying to honestly portray how real science fiction elements would impact real people. Aliens would be, for lack of a better word, quite alien to us. They certainly wouldn't be fluent in English, and probably wouldn't have the physical capacity to speak our languages, as we wouldn't theirs. You would never see Kirk trying to seduce a District 9 alien, for example.
You have forgotten "24 days" and "24 weeks later" in your list. Where is 24 months later? It's still missing.
This was one of my favorite shows and I couldn’t believe it got canceled. I’ve never been more disappointed in an unfinished story before in my life
I loved Stargate Universe A LOT and I'm gonna wait until they bring it back 🌌❤ #SaveStargateUniverse #BringBackStargateFranchise
Me too! I'm still on board Destiny! Screw homeworld... I'm going to ascend! 😂
Help bring Stargate back. savethegate.org
My favorite Stargate series. Characters seemed real to me, unlike Stargate and Stargate Atlantis.
I'll cry every time I see this..
As I fall asleep at night, I often think of Eli and Destiny. Ten years alone to explore, repair, and bond with this gorgeous vessel. Till the day I die, I will be on that ship between galaxies
It's been twelve years! Almost as long as Brad Wright's tenure on the franchise (14 years). This franchise has done so many great things and still so much untapped potential. Please, MGM, get some good writers and producers in a room and have them come up with something cool that'll bring in new fans, but also honor what has come before.
Stargate was my introduction to Science Fiction beyond Star Trek. Both are among my favorite franchises/ stories ever. Star Trek is back. Now it's time for Stargate.
That's the last of the known content of "SG:U".I'm missing the rest greets from Germany
so sad to see destiny fly away and know we will never get to see how it all turned out....destiny is still out there...somewhere.
So they never made it home? Why does it end like this I don't get it?
scifi channel pushed it out in favor of wrestling due to declining ratings, and due in large part to bitchy sg1 fans who hated it cuz it wasnt cheezy enough. too bad they didn't appreciate great film making.
+AJ pollinger SGU was truly cinematic.
no most of the fanbase hated that they tried to appeal to the battle star fanbase and failed (because they wanted more BS:G not a cheep knock off) to appeal to both fanbases
also SG1 fans hated it because everyone but 2 characters is a massive dickhead.
it was unwatchable at times either because it was to dark or excessive use of shaky cam.
nothing in it looked or felt stargate the destiny felt more like a ship from farscape, the goa'uld felt more like space pirates than remnants of a grate space empire, the tech used by the destiny was knock of cylon tech
ect ect
Season 3 is in comic book form
10 years ago today, I still watch a few episodes here and there. Sad that it never got to season 3 at least
Stargate Universe was my favourite of the franchise. It was cut short just as it was building momentum to become something spectacular.
I hope one day they revive it from stasis without changing the tone of the series. Even today it feels fresh when compared to more contemporary science fiction series. It is sad that newer shows seem to ignore the need to ground some part of the story in reality. Please bring back this show.
I,m gutted , I just loved this ,can we not have a series 3.
unfortunately one of the most underrated SF-series ever! Those honks that kills this amazing serie.... kick up the arse! Well, (hope dies last) someone to revive this series. This cant be the End!
A. Erb yeah it seems like right when the series was starting to figure itself out and improve, it got rekt...
the memories from this show and all of the Stargate shows best thing about this covid19 isolation is i can watch the whole thing in chronological order and man it is a good show especially the sg1 and sga timelines they kept that together so well
i will say that this scene was heart wrenching, but also heart warming in a way. the way Elie smiles at the end. like the journey has only just begun. would love to see more like 20 years have past,.
for the fucking Love of GOD AMAZON BRING BACK SGU.....
Out of all the stargate series, never has any made such an impact on me as universe did. From it's relate-able characters to it's more dark and realistic spinoff of the stargate series. From the very beginning of the show I felt as though every character were facing deep risks. In every episode I was constantly thinking of what could happen next, only but a few episodes were predictable. In comparison to the light-heartedness of Atlantis and SG-1, this is a whole lot darker and "adult" plot, that actually held a lot more weight and impact to it, I've never cared so much for every character, rather than the traditional lead 4 in the past stargates, which they actually removed.
The ending itself left such an eagerness to watch more, but they left it at that, possibly my favorite show to date... I felt empty when I was told the show was cancelled and possibly never coming back, I even bought the DVDs to rewatch some of the episodes.
May we all take a minute to mourn the loss of Stargate Universe, and eli(My personal favorite and most relate-able character).
+Mitchel IT I agree
I sort of went the opposite direction. I don't fault you for your considerations and preference, but I always turned more toward Battlestar Galactica for the somber space operas with dire consequences, where Stargate for me was the light popcorn fare that I wanted to relax and escape with when I watched it. I think the radical jump in tone and themes that Universe introduced to the Stargate franchise is part of the reason it had trouble finding an audience. That is less a measure of the quality of the specific series and more to do with how it was seen by the franchise fans.
agreed, Battle Star Galactica was a Soap Opera in Space
Of the shows Universe was my least favorite but it was still in the Stargate universe and when it was cancelled I was annoyed that I didn't finish the last season. What the hell? What type of ending is that? I would like if the could resurrect this series with the original cast.
SGU was the producers attempt to merge SG and Battlestar Galactica ... Battlestar Galactica fans might have liked it but the SG & SGA fans didn't ..it was a soap opera in space ..
This series frightened and fascinated me-a true adventure that involved me far more than most stories or TV.
If I ever won the lottery, I'd fund the continuation of this series
For people REALLY wanting a resolution of the cliff hanger, they did make one in comic book form.
There are other people onboard, frozen too, Ancients who have the knowledge to resolve the situation, since they got full access to the ship and know how it fully works.
Yep got the comic to see how it could have gone.
@@samrcat4077 I've never actually read the whole thing, only saw some parts of it on UA-cam. How do they explain the fact that the ancients are still alive? Their tech slows down aging, doesn't stop it.
damn that smile at the end
eli excepting and embracing his fate
or he realized what he had to do to fix destiny
by far this is one of the best ending scene sound track and the way the whole scene is filmed showing every thing going back to dark in reverse.
i loved this series so much, the very same day i watched the first episode i was so mega impressed i went online and brought SG1 and Atlantis all boxsets, before universe i only watched a handful of any stargate series, universe turned me into a big fan of all stargate series. wish the series went on for 20 years
Still guts me that this show was cancelled. Even one more season just to give a real sense of closure.
yeah same here, if i could i'd pay millions for this to start back up....
me too. the thing is, the producers had no way of continuing the show. they could have found a way of making one more season, but it was not nearly enough for their story to be completed.
i read the story some time ago and as of what i remember, If the show continued, it would all be a paradox. After meeting a advanced race that has the ability of seeing things that happened and will happen, they would discover that the human race has the potential of becoming the most advanced race in the universe in about 2 millions of years of more evolution. That race would fight against Destiny, and even use a super gate technology to try to invade Earth and stop all from happening. The only way of defeating the race is to use the neural interface chair at the center of the Universe and change things (just like Rush told Young). After the race finds a way to travel back in time and eradicate humanity, Destiny crew will form an alliance with a few dozen of other species and a enormous battle would happen at the center of the universe. During the battle, because of Young's stubbornness, they would make a beyond repair mistake. We would find out that Rush himself (his future version) is the one who placed that artificial system in destiny's course while being stuck in the neural interface at the center and has the power of changing things. After realizing that Destiny has lost the battle with the enemy alien race, there is one solution left. To replay all the timeline and make sure that one decision of Young that got the battle lost is fixed and changed. So Rush (who is ultimately the main character) sacrifices his life and the ship to create another timeline by sending a signal back in time. So the very signal was integrated in the foundation of space time by the crew of Destiny at the end of the ship's journey using the black hole located at the center of the universe so (in the past) the ancients would find it, build the ship and fulfill the destiny (this time leading to achieving a victory against the dominating aliens - who are the real reason why the ancients got extinct) BANG! that was the shortest summary i could give you. This is the real story that a lad managed to leak from the writers ..i found it on reddit a year ago. now of course there's much more of it and it needed at least 2 more seasons to make all this happen. plus.. this would have been the ending only. it the show was not canceled, it would have had 6 seasons. shame..... i still want this happen
same, tought i'm not much fan of all the paradox thing i would have tought of a whole other stories, lot of adventure repair for destiny ...well yeah just random imagination running wild XD
a true shame...

That sounds fantastic.
it is. and all of that was supposed to make up 6 seasons. i miss this show, and i can only imagine how awesome putting this story on the tv screen would have been. this show needs to return one day
The show started bad, but it could have been saved! First time I watched ST:DS9 I didn't finish the first season, because I thought it was gonna stay at the same pace.
The writers could have listed to the criticism by the fans, and fixed it. I was dying to see some kind of continuation of "the meaning of life stuff" that Daniel Jackson talked about in early SG-1. "A pattern in cosmic microwave background", in the Ancients words "the destiny of all things", "a complex structure at very beginning of time", "a mystery rooted in foundation of reality ". Its a fascinating philosophical subject!
You know I never watched universe, I have seen SG1 fully over and over, I've dabbled in Atlantis and know most the characters, but I never watched universe.
I have no idea who these characters are, what this series ending is. But I understand fully the emotions in the acting, the tone of the music, the visuals of an empty ship sailing through the stars powering down..the loneliness of one man watching the universe passing by.
And, now this is all we ever will get about the present crew of the Destiny. That is, unless someone with the money will resurrect the Show and make it live once again. It is bad to leave everyone who liked this show hanging, and three years have turned into many more than what we were led to expect. If this ever happens, we will not get the same cast that we had at the "intermission" of Stargate Universe, but others with the drive and continuity to make this happen once again. I only hope I will still be alive if it does happen. Make It Happen!
9 years later this gets recommended to me. I liked this show. Shame they cut it to keep SG Atlantis.
. . . you do realize the first episode of SGU premiered after Atlantis ended right?
Adored this show, couldn’t figure out why it was canned. Never really a stargate fan, but this was different, it was darker to a small degree but more than that it had an interesting story arc that was just starting to pay off. Might have to rewatch the series
The show was a little ahead of its time in terms of marketing. Metaphorically and ironically between universes in how people consumed content. SGU offered mini teasers online before that was really a thing. That lead to a division is the fanbase and the ratings suffered in the TV medium. People watched the show, but the old metrics didn't reflect that, so this beautiful piece of science fiction got the axe. If SGU had been released a few years later, I'm sure it would have had at least 5 seasons.
Scenes like this... understated... with spectacular music.. were what made this the finest SG
This series was brilliant, you either loved it or hated it. I loved all stargate series from original then Atlantis and finally Universe. I hope they realise soon we need series like these.
I absolutely loved the piano/violin score, it's too perfect as a space voyage soundtrack.
