Beyond Season 2

[Kanten]

I know I would have watched those 5 seasons.

Hell, I would watch 10 seasons if it was half as good as 2.5 was.

i reckon they would get more money if they did a movie (not straight to DVD one that goes to Cinemas) and see how many people watch it if the numbers are good they bring back S3

Here's how I imagine it.

Season 3 starts with the ending scene of Season 2.
After a month of researching (we cut straight to events that heppened a month later), Eli accidentally finds the solution on how to save Destiny & everyone on it. He wakes up everyone and tells the entire crew that they need to turn the Destiny around, because the planet that has some extra supplies, has already been skipped by the ship thanks to it being in the FTL. They turn the ship around and Young gets a team together and organizes a search mission.

On the planet, the team finds a prototype of Destiny, which was left undamaged by the Ancients. There, the team uncovers the plans for the "real" Destiny" as well as the instructions on how to fully repair the ship.
Along with the instructions, Rush finds a secret message, but he doesn't reveal to the crew what is it about until the beginning of Season 4. In the meantime, the crew must deal with the Drones and the Blue Aliens several times (or whatever they are called) and we see the resolution to their story.

In season 4, the Destiny is fully fixed and charged. Once again, they encounter the Drones (this time, the newer, even more advanced versions) and a real space war begins between the Destiny and them. Destiny wins, but it is severely damaged. This time, thete is no way to fix the damage, but the good news is that everyone on board is still safe and alive and that the ship is somewhat safe. Fearing that they won't get home, Rush finally reveals the contents of the secret message he found the last season: the Destiny they've been on the entire time is a double and the real one is somewhere else, undamaged. The message also reveals the address of an Icarus-like planet. Once there, Rush and Eli dial the real Destiny from the planet and everyone boards it. On the planet's computers, Eli finds important data and somehow, the data is automatically transferred to the real Destiny. Meanwhile, the Luccian Alliance reaches the fake Destiny, unaware that the real one is somewhere else and claim it as their own. Also, TJ is cured and so is the blind one - can't remember the name right now.

In season 5, Rush, along with the crew, re-explore the Destiny, which allows them to gain enough knowledge to explore the planets and galaxies they skipped thanks to the situation of the last episode of season 2 by just dilaing them straight from the Destiny. The first half of season 5 ends with the entire crew finding themselves ib a new mission: looking for the clues on how to get home. The second half of season 5 deals with the crew visiting several planets in several different galaxies and meeting a new advanced civilization, which reveals to the crew they've been expecting them, I guess for some wired reason. Young is given a special treasure, that speaks to the crew once he and his team bring it back to the ship. The treasure reveals that everyone does get home, but they don't arrive home on Destiny. In the two-part series finale, it turns out that the double is actually a part of Destiny, a lower stage of it, and that the crew needs to retreive it. They succeed, but they encounter with the last surviving members of the Luccian Alliance, who fight them for the Destiny. The final battle ends with the crew defeating the members of the Luccian Alliance once and for all and the ship's double attaches itself to the Destiny, finally re-becoming its lower stage.

In the meantime, the Earth has located another Icarus-like planet and we cut to some characters of the previous series making plans to dial the Destiny. At the same time, Rush finally figures out how to dial the Earth from the Destiny: it will need the energy from the Stargate in the lower stage of the ship. They try to dial, but they accidentally dial the same Icarus-like planet. The crew is evacuated to it and later to Earth. However, the Destiny detaches its lover stage and drops to FTL, thus ending the series.

1 year later, in the SGU movie, we learn what really went on this entire time and what was actually the big deal with Destiny and the 9th chevron.

I didn't get the chance to do the SGU movie, so here it is:

SGU Movie: The movie takes place 1 year after the series finale. In the movie, it is released that the Destiny has returned to our Galaxy several months after the events in the series finale and has been hovering over Earth since. Several science teams have been exploring Destiny on their own and have completed the exploration up to 90 %. In the next couple of scenes, the Destiny, now re-explored and re-fixed, is showcased. In the meantime, we are intorduced to the plot of the movie: the last 10 % of the ship cannot be accessed due to a part of the ship still missing. We cut to Eli, who finds out the reason, because of which Destiny has been hovering over Earth for the past few months. The ship must travel to another Galaxy in order to complete another mission, but needs the crew to do so as they must visit a special planet, because that's where the missing part is supposed to be. The existing crew from the series is re-gathered and everyone agrees to be a part of the mission, once Rush and Eli reassure to everyone that they have complete control of the ship.

They eventually board the ship and the ship jumps into the FTL, but drops out in front of a SGU Supergate. Young advices Eli and Rush not to attempt any dial, but of course, Rush doesn't give a damn about what Young thinks and starts the dialing process. He dials the SGU Supergate address, which takes Destiny to a very distant Galaxy, which is excluded from other Galaxies in Destiny's database. The crew eventually goes to a planet there to retreive the missing part, but cannot find it, however, they do find something else: a Stargate Galaxy book. The crew heads back to the ship, but when they start turning the ship around so they can go home, they are attacked by an army of Drones and the main enemy is finally revealed. The enemy is eventually defeated and so are the Drones thanks to the Stargate Galaxy book, which suddenly opens and starts to glow. The book activates a special sheild around the ship, which re-direts all the blasts from the Drones back at them, including the ones from the enemy.

After the battle, Rush and Eli dial the SGU Supergate again and the ship jumps into the same FTL at the same point as before. The Destiny returns to our Galaxy and everyone returns home and goes back to their normal lives.

One year later, Daniel Jackson is speaking to Jack O' Neill about him studying the book for a year and him (Daniel) coming to conclusion that there is nothing more to explore about the Stargate, because everything they have uncovered so far is written in the Stargate Galaxy book. Meanwhile, we see the same science teams on Destiny from the beginning of the movie, which manage to use the knowledge, gained from the book, to explore the remaining 10 % of the Destiny. In the last 10 minutes of the movie, those 10 % are showcased as well. The movie ends with the science team watching Destiny jump into FTL and in the last scene of the movie, we see Destiny re-joining with its lower-stage, travelling trough time and space, waiting for the day it's going to be needed once again.

I think they should put together their notes on where the show was going, and contract with an author to write the story in a series of novels. Novels might not be the best way of finishing the story, but it may be the only one left.
