http://twitter.com/Syfy just tweeted "Syfy will end its original action-adventure series Stargate Universe when the show returns with the final 10 episodes of its second season in the Spring of 2011."

So Syfy fulfilled it's original contractual obligation and nothing more, I'm utterly shocked.

LOL! Ah, man, I do love seeing Wright get his just desserts, I'm just sorry the cast and crew got caught in the fall out.

And yeah, he and his pack of idiots will try to blame the fans instead of, y'know, blaming the fact that they produced a crappy show.

Also, since when is being able to tell the difference between crap and quality a *bad* thing? And why is hating crap considered some sort of character flaw? I would hope people would hate crap. I certainly don't think much of people who can't tell the difference or who like the crap (guilty pleasures being the exception - we all have them).

VERY good points here. It's really a pity how everything wound up turning out

Much as I'm pissed off about how they trashed the first two shows, I was still hoping they'd come up with something good for the third one.

I had high hopes for SGU myself. Pilots are always rocky but there was some potential there, it just got frittered away and bogged down by plotholes and plot devices that were painful to watch. It's really a damn shame

HELLO

I can't even feel sorry for the cast, because the crappy writing made me hate their characters so much that I can't disassociate the two. I do wish they'd been individually informed instead of having to hear about it online.

If they were paying attention to the ratings they should have seen it coming, though.

Well, yeah, but still. Very unprofessional (not to mention dickish) to not inform them officially.

Dickish in the extreme.

But then, look at who we're talking about. Dicks 'R Us.

(Teeny-tiny ones, I'm sure.)

Somebody interviewed in the current EW was doing the "Oh watch our show or there will never be SF/F on television again!" thing. IT IS OUR DUTY AS GENRE FANS TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING AND OUR FAULT IF SOMETHING FAILS.

*headdesk*

No. If you produce *good* SF, SF fans will march into hell for you.

If you produce *crap* SF, we'll build the atomic powered trebuchets out of the contents of our kitchens and personally rot the eggs we'll use as ammunition to put you our of our misery.

This is what happens when Mundanes try to do SF. They don't get *it* and they don't get *us*.

I want an atomic powered trebuchet.

*pouts*

LOL! I *know*! I've been wanting one for years. :-)
