ACCORDING to other on-line sources, The Syfy Channel announced earlier today via Twitter that it would not be picking up Stargate Universe for a third season. The first half of season two recently finished airing on Syfy, and the latter 10 episodes will be shown beginning in the New Year. I will pass on any official press release details once I receive them. In the meantime, I want to thank the cast and crew of Stargate Universe for welcoming me onto their set over the past two years. I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand all the hard work and effort that went into making two seasons of the show. I still have a few interviews left from my set visit back in July, which I will be posting here at SciFiAndTVTalk. It was a pleasure getting to know the new cast, and I want to wish all the actors as well as the behind-the-scenes team the best of luck and success in all their future ventures.

i am still shocked by the decision to cancel SGU ! given a little more time and back on friday night the show would have
really caught on . being as different as Universe was it did take time for me to appreciate and get into where the story line was going and how fantastic the ship Destiny was . the actors cast as the crew members did a Excelent job and i wish them well in the future .now there are no new shows about the Stargate saga on TV and it will be missed by many, many fans and me . i hope that MGM will somehow find a Network to continue the journey . it is a sad day when grown men in there
swim suits parade around in a boxing ring pretending to be fighting is more important than a real science fiction show that is on a supposed to be sci-fi network !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's sad news indeed! I hope they can move the show to a different network or something and keep it going, The CW or Space maybe. It'd be a real shame if it ended so abruptly. I mean, they finally revealed the Destiny's true mission and it's as epic and hardcore as some of the best Sci-Fi out there. Sigh...
