Syfy's Promo Video for SGU's Final 10 Episodes


Here is Joseph Mallozzi's (SGU Executive) response to a fan's question regarding the promo video above:

Oh, to those of you asking about the SyFy promo for the back half of season 2 – Yes, the promo does state “Every Destiny has an ending…” but, in all fairness, it should also add “…except in the case of Stargate: Universe because the final episode WILL end on a cliffhanger.”

Show your support for Stargate with these Avatars!

The Syfy channel decided not to order another season of Stargate Universe, but there is still hope that MGM will find a new home for the franchise.  Now is the time to show MGM that there are fans out there that want to see more Stargate. 

Here are some images that you are welcome to use wherever you see fit, be it on twitter, facebook or any forum.  Be seen to support Stargate!!

SGU Update from Joseph Mallozzi's Blog

There is still hope for a conclusion to Stargate Universe after Syfy did not renew the series for a third season.  Hopefully, the SGU season 2 marathon on Syfy today proved that their are viewers out there that want to see more from the crew of the Destiny!

5th Feb 2011, Extract from Stargate's Executive Producer, Joseph Mallozzi's blog:
"Meanwhile, for all those wondering – which I assume is A LOT of you – the Stargate situation remains fluid, and the tidbits of information I’ve received continue to sound very promising for a conclusion to the SGU story (in addition to a few more goodies).  It’s slow but positive progress.  Hopefully, I’ll know more this Tuesday when I go in to watch the Day 1 mix of Blockade and Day 2 mix of Common Descent."

Latest update on the fate of Stargate - 30.01.2011

Joseph Mallozzi's blog remains the source for news on any developments with the fate of Stargate Universe.  Here is the latest news that he blogged on the 30th Jan:
"Speaking of buzz – I exchanged emails with Brad today and he reports another major hurdle has been cleared.  Almost there, Stargate fans.  Again, this is show business, so even the most promising of scenarios can go sideways fast (and dead-end scenarios turn around just as quickly).  Nothing is written in stone but things are looking MUCH better now than they did last week when things looked much better than they did the week before.  Meetings are still ongoing and I, like most of you, am really beginning to feel antsy.  Hopefully, by the time we head back into the office for the Day 1 Mix of Blockade, we’ll have something more substantial to discuss. :)"
It seems as though Brad Wright has yet to give up on the franchise and is still fighting for the chance to give Stargate Universe an ending.  Whether it be in the form of another season or a Direct-to-DVD film we will have to see. 

Now is the time to show MGM that you support the franchise by buying the DVD's, Blu-Ray's and legal downloads!
