SGU FAIL

[stagnation13]

Totally ganked from ailurophile6 over at LJ: http://ailurophile6.livejournal.com/236915.html

The two fun parts for me:

Median Age:  49    (WTF?  What happened to all of TPTB's demographic work?  Wasn't SGU supposed to be targeted toward younger men people?

Apparently Part One of "Incursion" was an all time low for the ENTIRE Stargate franchise.  PERIOD.

Even worse, RDA and MS on the episode "Subversion" didn't draw the viewers.

Wow.

The whole SyFy brand change just bothers the crap out of me, because honestly, as a stargate fanand a cheesy b-rated sifi flick fan and a sanctuary fan, I'm just going to be head over heels for WWF wrestling? Yeah, no.

I think also the move to Tuesdays is possibly the worst idea ever. Many stargate fans on my flist already have a full tuesday night schedule, and to make them choose between SG:U and say, NCIS? The SG:U ratings are just heading down further. If they're lucky, I might have time to watch my DVR'ed episode on Friday.

I suppose all the RDA and MS fans just waited for clips of their scenes to wind up on YouTube or on their circle/flists!

Between the fact that RDA has taken another acting gig, RCC has left the show even though he isn't going to another producing gig, and Titan is canceling its Stargate Magazine, I'd say the writing is on the wall for SGU. It may see out S2, given that Syfy has already ordered that season, but I suspect it will not get a S3 commitment.
