Just wanna remind the US people at these forums, that Stargate Universe airs on Mondays. As many as possible -need- to watch the show these next few weeks, if there is gonna be ANY possibility of a 3rd season, or a movie.
I know i've been mostly critical of the show in the past (I still find most of Season 1 appauling), but Season 2 has been like a total reversal for me. The first 10 Season 2 episodes were all largely very good, except for the imho senseless killing of Ginn after building up the relationship she had with Eli, and making viewers care for the character. Since SGU's return (On Mondays), both episodes so far have been FAR above my expectations during Season 1, and I dare say it, among the best episodes of the series. Now i'm actually HOPING for a continuation, especially after the events of tonights episode, which opened up quite a few possibilities, and a bit of new "questions" as to what may come.
My views on SGU from the get-go, were probably colored by the cancellation of Atlantis, a show which I greatly enjoyed. The only reason I kept watching "Stargate" was because of the promise of future Atlantis movies. As of now, all Stargate movie plans are currently on hold, but I'm holding out slight hope that the show might still get some form of continuation. Even if some of the SGU actors have already begun on other projects.
