Considering I've never met a person who says "I loved the Stargate movie but never really liked the TV series", I don't see how this could be anything but bad news.
FWIW, I'll agree that SGU was crap for 95% of its run - when the writing was on the wall and the producers/writers realized that nothing they did would get SyFy to uncancel the show, they finally got back to the business of writing a Stargate series, and the final episodes were actually quite good. Of course, by that point the damage was done. But in defense of SGU, I don't entirely blame the production team, because I strongly suspect they were under pressure from SyFy to make SGU more BSG-like. Of course, in a perfect world, SGU would never have launched and SG: Atlantis would have been allowed to continue. On Friday, May 30, 2014 12:35:07 AM UTC-4, Kevin M.
