The next episode isn't due out until April. SyFy is a little silly in how they break up seasons.

Based on Ten's past efforts with scifi shows, I would not be surprised it they had dropped the show without notice.
Checking the SGU website shows that there has been only episode that Ten have not shown so perhaps they have just 'rescheduled' it for a later date.

Yeah it does get better and i think it did get picked up for a second season... But if you like Sci-fi get Foxtel because free to air has never liked Sci-fi when they could be showing the next reality tv show.

Like any show it has to develop.

I thought it was off the air until the ratings season started again.

I knew from the start it was not going to go the distance…it was hard enough for SG1 to hold good viewing times and considering many SG1 viewers have been utterly disappointed with this latest series attempt to align itself with the previous story---it really should come as no surprise.

The two shows could not be farther from each other with one being light spirited, full of adventure & full of humor with the other - Long winded, Boring & emotionally draining.

Having said that, I do believe the creators were getting the point they were losing more fans than they were creating, & there looked as if there might be hope. I began to start watching with some optimism, but when the show finally disappeared, I never gave it a second thought until now.

Exactly the same thing happened with Battlestar Gallactica, although somewhat different (not much). I thought “star bucks” laughable attempt to compare it with the family version some decades earlier hilarious…there is no comparison. Insult the audience and it will reflect. Good luck to them and the vampires they attract…it’s all becoming Fantasy rather than SCI-FI. Each to their own & good luck with whatever your into. They really need to start reviewing what makes a good sci-fi…seems the art is a lost one.

I’ll check it out much later & won’t be wasting any of our primitive bandwidth on it…Just yet Perhaps if it’s still going???? You might want to report the progress of it…and I’m talking SG1 fans there, but in saying that, you probably would not waste your time either.

I've watched the first 12 episodes (think it was 12 - half a season) and because I love sci-fi, I was prepared to give the show a chance.....

However, the only exciting bit happened at the end of ep 12 last November - next ep in April 2010

The show will want to improve allot for me to continue watching.....


Bit like V, 4 episodes - reasonable story and action then - nothing when does that one continue????
