    SGU will last one season only!

    Might get canned for this but i don't care, i think SGU will only last one season with the current showrunners and writers of SGA at the helm this series is doomed before it starts. It will die in a flood of uninteresting characters, unoriginal plots and a dubious setting.

      You could go a bit deeper and explain WHY you think this instead of just stating it as fact.

        Yep. I pretty much stopped reading at that part.
        If you've seen a Jeff O'Connor or a JeffZero or a Jeff Zero or a JeffZeroConnor elsewhere on the net, there's a considerable chance it's me.

          I'm going to give it a chance. I've liked everything Stargate (with a few excepetions) so far.

            I predict 3 to 5 seasons.

                I think it will go longer than one season - even though im currently voicing some unhappiness with the premise of the show (based on what we know so far) im hoping to be proven wrong.

                I'd agree with other people though, not been posting here long but most people like to discuss peoples viewpoints - say why you think it wont last and have some discussion... we can always hope that somebody working on the show is lurking on the forums and taking notes... the more things we discuss the more likely our fears wont ever make it into a script

                  I'm not too enthusiastic about the premise of SGU but even I predict it will be more successful than the original poster says.

                    And you felt the need to create a new thread just to share that with us? Attention seeking much?

                      5 seasons, 100 episodes minimum. Let's conservatively say that half of the established Stargate fans watch SGU regularly. Then you factor in the fact that they want a known lead with a decent sized fan base and again a conservative 50% of his/her fans watch the show. Then the rest of the unknown cast will have a fan base however small and again at least 50% of their fans will watch regularly. SGU will get good enough ratings to be on for 5 seasons at the very least. That all assumes the show isn't complete crap of Flash Gordon/Painkiller Jane proportions, and I've said it a lot, I trust the PTB at least that much.

                      Perfecto!

                        I see, at the very least, 3 seasons for SGU. I'm hoping for at least 5 though.

                          Depends on where in the year the show premieres and how close the premiere is to the showing of the Stargate movies. If they don't have a good lead-in or residual hype from an SG-1 or Atlantis movie and they're going against a strong show from another network, then they're screwed. It's one of the reasons I thought cancelling Atlantis before SGU premiered would be a mistake. Without the fan lead-in from Atlantis, they're going to have to do some fancy footwork in terms of publicity and programming to give the show a good start.

                            as have i, everything so far has been great, exept infinity...i cant stand that show. but they did stress the fact that it was going to be very different than what sg1 and atlantis are...was like. personally im quite looking forward to the show.

                              However, are you forgetting the mass of folks out there who get their Stargate from a source other than Sci-Fi channel? These folks won't have a break in Stargate material. In my neck of the woods, season 4 is just about to start on the local cable network. Once seaon 5 is over (in 2010), these fans will move right in to season one of Universe.
