Will they "retcon"/rewrite Universe out of Stargate continuity if the show disappoints?

Hypothetically... Episode #6, SciFi's just canceled Universe.Originally posted by Falcon Horus View Post

Seriously I don't understand why people are damning this show without giving it a chance"I'm being extremely clever up here and there's no one to stand around looking impressed! What's the point in having you all?!" - The Doctor (#11)Comment

What? I should praise it? Pfff... right. Ever read the blurb on the back of a book and went "meh, can't be good." and put it back. Same difference.Originally posted by Shpinxinator View Post
Besides underneath the joke RiS makes a good point.

Wow...did you really just advocate judging a book by its cover?Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostWhat? I should praise it? Pfff... right. Ever read the blurb on the back of a book and went "meh, can't be good." and put it back. Same difference.

I think there is some kind of saying about that. I'll look into it and get back to you.Comment

You clearly didn't even read the OP, since I asked if they'd remove Universe from Stargate continuity if it didn't work out. I'm pretty sure that's a fair question when talking about a franchise defined by:Originally posted by Shpinxinator View Post
1.) 200+ episode award winning series
2.) 100 episode award winning series
3.) Multimillion dollar blockbuster film
4.) 2 #1 DVD Movies
I was wondering if they'd remove it if it hypothetically was canceled in say 6 episodes, because that would sully an overall stellar record.sigpic"Most of our John Sheppard impressions sound more like a demented Jimmy Stewart than Joe Flanigan."

Well I will wait to tee Universe for myself, I hope they use the time to come up with some really good themes and make sure it is well thought through.Comment

Almost certianly not. In my opinion. Even if it's terrible. Unless maybe its so bad that its canceled after like 3 episodes or something."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"

A great thing about Universe will be that they will encounter so many more races so since they are constantly moving their enemies will change. Maybe a few will have vast domains but the series will be a lot like SG-1's early years where they could run into anyone or anything with a enemy lurking in the background like the Goa'uld used to be.Comment

If SGU do end up getting axed after 3 episodes, (of course I hope not) then this would be the best way.Originally posted by Ripple in Space View PostHypothetically... Episode #6, SciFi's just canceled Universe.

Not advocating anything - but it's the same thing as reading the blurb/summary on the back of a book and going "meh, not interesting enough."Originally posted by Konman72 View Post
Personally I read the casting calls and the basic premise and I was thinking "meh, better things in the world to look forward to." - which is the same thing as say reading the back of Lord of the Rings and go "NEXT!".
I'm sure there is. Please do get back! I tend to mix up my sayings on a daily basis.Originally posted by Konman72 View PostHeightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
