help Stargate Universe FAQ
How is Stargate Universe different from SG-1 or Atlantis?
Unlike the exploration-focused tone of "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis," "Stargate Universe" adopted a much darker, character-driven survival narrative. It was heavily inspired by "Battlestar Galactica," focusing on interpersonal conflicts aboard a failing ancient ship.
Why was Stargate Universe canceled?
"Stargate Universe" was canceled after two seasons due to a significant drop in live viewership during its second year on the Syfy channel. A shift in the network's target demographic and a poor Friday night time slot ultimately doomed the series.
What is the Destiny in Stargate Universe?
The Destiny is an ancient, automated spaceship built by the Alterans, launched billions of years ago to explore the universe. The stranded crew must constantly scavenge resources to keep the deteriorating ship operational and sustain their own lives.
Did Stargate Universe end on a cliffhanger?
Yes, the series ended on a massive cliffhanger where the crew enters stasis pods for a three-year journey, except for Eli Wallace, who is left facing a fatal lack of power. Fans were left wondering about his fate until it was somewhat resolved in later supplemental materials.
