I rather like SGU

As much as I hate to say it, I don't see another stargate series happeneing after SGU has finished it's run, and with only die hard stargate fans watching SGU, while the "SGA only fanboys" have given up, hence the ratings drop, SGU may be finishing it's run sooner rather than later, taking the whole stargate franchise with it when it ends.
It has been an impressive 13 years with the stargate franchise, but I really can't see SGU being followed up.Teselecta: "Silence will fall when the question is asked."
Doctor: "And what is the question?"

Doctor: " *Brainfart* ".

It doesn't matter how many franchises you have or how old they are, it's just that you need to have the right people(i.e. the writers) to tell the storyline correctly. Look at doctor who for example, it ran for AGES! Has it shown it's age?no... yes Doctor who was rebooted but ran for years and years. Doctor who is still great till this day.
What the writers need to do is,don't try and fix something that's not broken, something they have tried to with Stargate Universe, and look what's happening? If there is a 4th series,it needs to have more gate travel.

I was referring to the fact that Trek has set a dangerous precedent. Until the cancellation of Enterprise, the franchise had been on air continuously for god knows how many years. If one show ended, another took its place.
People forget that many of the best sci-fi shows have had one single run, and that's it.
Honestly? I'd rather have a shorter series that ends neatly, than a show or franchise thats drawn out. As it happens, I love SGU, I really do. But imo, despite ADORING the Ori, SG1 ended dismassly, because it was cancelled mid flow. Had it have ended with S8 or S6, things would have felt complete. SGA got away luckily because MOST plots, were, by coincidence pretty much wrapped up bt EatG. In some ways, however, the Earth centric Stargate theme has not, and most likely, will not have the closure it requires.
With traditional stargate, the storyline is a little different to conventional sci-fi series. There is that unpredictability, limitless possiblities of what the stargate team will encounter because there is that you are stepping into the unknown.However, SGU doesn't take this path.

I do think SGU does have potential if the writers see it. After all, it is called Stargate Universe for a reason. The universe is quite bit; therefore, the writers should concentrate on that instead of mostly concentrating on the characters. But I'm not saying to completely cut off character development.
What I'm saying is that I think SGU can be rescued, but I don't think the writers want to stray away from their original plan. (I think they should have a plan B; if there's an A there's got to be a B: that is, for the writing end of things.)There is always one.

As others have said, I hope SGU gets a chance to finish its story arc (whether they get just 2 seasons or 7).
But I have to say, given the dwindling ratings, I have a hard time seeing anyone wanting to put money/effort into another Stargate series, at least not in the near future.sigpic

My setting would be the Beta Site. I would collect several characters we have seen before...Hailey, Grogan and Alec Colson (as Base Commander) and add some new ones. The plan would be to have a mix of character development and sci-fi/action...sigpic
