Sadly, the cancellation of Stargate Universe essentially led to the end of the entire Stargate franchise, and there hasn't been a new series on TV since Tom Bacon is one of Screen Rant's staff writers, as well as a Peer Mentor for new writers and a member of the Care Team, offering support and a listening ear to members of the Comics group.
A lifelong fan of major franchises including Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Marvel, Tom is delighted his childhood is back - and this time it's cool. You can find him on Twitter TomABacon. A graduate of Edge Hill University, Tom remains strongly connected with his alma mater as a volunteer chaplain.
He's heavily involved with his local church, and anyone who checks him out on Twitter will swiftly learn he's into British politics too. By Thomas Bacon Published Jan 02, Share Share Tweet Email 0.

I'm glad I didn't, because the second season delivered a lot of great storytelling. But asking an entire world to sit through plus episodes for a pay-off may just have been too much. Granted there were plenty of gems in there, like my personal favorites "Time" and "Earth. Read the entire letter over at GateWorld.
I love how Syfy dismisses out of hand the fact that ratings increased after the hiatus and after the announced cancellation. Bottom line: Syfy didn't own the property outright SGU was a partnership and realized their future return on investment DVD, toys, comics, books wouldn't be as lucrative as a wholly owned property.
