'Gauntlet' (220) General Discussion

Healthy for stargate? that makes no sense.
It just hurts the franchise to kill of a series after they fired all stupid writers from the first season. It was just getting good.

[Shan Bruce Lee]

I like it as an ending, I just wish it wasn't.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

Great ending. The early action was wonderfully balanced with the emotion in the second half off the episode. Eli volunteering at the end really showed the kind of strength he really has.

I'm hoping that the 3 years to the next galaxy is a case of art imitating life... and we see what happens to all of them in 2014.

actually SGU started a few weeks after Enemy at the gate and that was in 2009 so really its still 2010 in the SG Universe. so three years would be 2013.

but by then stargate the name its self would have faded
the only way to do that is to make another series as a filler for the 3 years then it would keep stargate alive

[acerfire]

Destiny is now dark, shut down, and effectively in hibernation. For an undetermined amount of time. Could be 3 years, could be many, many more. It's future uncertain, and the only person left awake is Eli... the person in the show who is supposed to represent the 'everyman', or all of us. He's left awake to fix a problem, and bring Stargate into a new universe of story. Thoughts?

[Stargater276]

It may be a distant hope, but I'm willing to slowly bring aboard new Gaters. At the very least we can keep this franchise alive in spirit and maybe prevent Emmerich from getting the rights to Stargate back.

[Greenfire32]

I can't believe that's how they're ending the show. We'll never know what happens now

We've known it was going to be a cliffhanger since December......

[Playtime20]

I hope Eli can fix the stasis pod if we DO get a 3rd Season later on

[nightsfire]

i feel a great weakness in the force good bye stargate we will miss you dearly and watch reruns over and over because they will use them as time fillers

[r81984]

Very nice ending to a series! A barely call that a cliff hanger. They've come full circle.

Not at all.
It was a great season ender, but a terrilbe series ender.
The non-ending endings are what bad writers do.

They should have changed the script when they knew it would be the final episode.

[General Jumper One]

I like it

[Cold Fuzz]

actually SGU started a few weeks after Enemy at the gate and that was in 2009 so really its still 2010 in the SG Universe. so three years would be 2013.

I'm talking about 3 years in real life, hoping for a concluding movie or some kind of follow-up in 2014.

[morrismike]

Eli gets in the pod, Ginn shunts him into AI world and he never leaves.

[Pharaoh Atem]

the crew and the franchise is going into stasis. love the irony

[SGJ]

Sad to see over half of my lifetime worth of quality television ending. What a great ending. very much like S2(?) of Battlestar that moves the story ahead many months or years into the future. I'd like to think that McKay or Carter could find a way to redial destiny in that time and get them the supplies/power they need. But it sounds like we'll never know. Besides I'd want them to finish the long waiting SG-1 and SGA movies before a movie or miniseries for SGU.
