First plot details on Stargate Universe’s final episodes!

With the days winding down to the final episodes of Stargate Universe, new details are emerging on the storylines for those last hours of Stargate for the foreseeable future.  Turn back now if you aren’t the spoilerin’ type.

SPACE Channel in Canada has released these short loglines for the final episodes, which help fill out the picture of the drone weapons’ continuing threat to Destiny.

EPILOGUE (April 25)
Returning the settlers to their home planet Novus, the Destiny crew discover the planet has been abandoned and on the verge of seismic destruction.

BLOCKADE (May 2)
Alien drones create a blockade of viable power sources forcing Destiny to recharge in a star so hot it could destroy the ship.

GAUNTLET (May 9 – Series Finale)
Blocked by Command Ships at every star and unable to gate for supplies without alerting the drones, Destiny must take a stand or be left adrift.

SGU continues Monday at 9/8c on Syfy with “Epilogue,” which picks up right where last week’s episode left off.  Are there any survivors on the planet Novus?  What will we do with a ship full of refugees?

Episodes air Tuesdays at 10 E/P  on SPACE in Canada, Fridays at 8:30 p.m. on SCI FI in Australia, and Mondays at 8 p.m. on Sky1 in the U.K. (about one month delayed).

Learn more about these episodes in GateWorld’s Season Two episode guide.

  • Seems a bit of a shame that there appears to be no real villain in the final episodes. Just some robotic drones!

    I hope it doesn't have multiple cliffhangers were the fate of various crew are left hanging. I predict exploding parts of ship and computer consoles as one of them -- then in season 3 those Aliens that kidnapped Chloe were supposed to swoop in and save the day.

  • That's probably about right. They were probably the race that created them in the first place. I know one of the main characters is going die, but who? My guess is Greer since the actor got a new job/tv-show before anybody else.

  • The Last episode is a huge cliffhanger, as already stated by a few of the cast members.
    Who cares about villans, SGU got cancelled because almost everyone wanted a SG1/SGA clone, in my opinion.
    All fans should of gave SGU a chance, but decided early on to hate rather than give the show a chance.
    No movie sigh, I wonder what happens to the crew of destiny!

  • Sounds like great episodes. I'm currently enjoying the series on Sky One here in Ireland. Still very disappointed that SGU will not get to run its full course, the show is fantastic! I'll definitely be adding it to my DVD collection.

  • @Paul. Yep that's all we can do is support the franchise. SGA is coming out a blu-ray soon :)

    Hopefully the SGU comic book series will be out before the end of the year. I say the franchise live in that and the novel format for a while.

    Oh and support the actors, writers, and directors of the franchise in their future projects.

  • Now I won't say that Universe is perfect (far from it in-fact) but I don't think it needed to be cancelled or the whole series shelved indefinitely. I mean come on, who even watches tv anymore, let alone the "SyFy" channel? Live viewing means nothing in today's society. Myself, I don't even have cable or sat and I won't get it. Anything that I want to watch is online. If "SyFy" wanted this series to succeed they would have allowed people to stream it from their website beginning at the same time that it's on tv on a decent web-player.
    Go to any links site that displays the most popular links and I guarantee for about 2-3 days after SGU plays that it is one of them most popular shows on there. People ARE watching it but no one wants to watch it live or just don't have the time. This fact, coupled with just some terribly written episodes are what killed this show imho. Still, some 2nd season episodes weren't that bad (although seizure was a HUGE disappointment) and I don't think it deserves to go out without a decent conclusion.
    The worst part is the shelving of the SGA/Sg-1 movies. Is MGM stupid or what? If they really want some cash do some direct to dvd movies with O'Neill meeting the Furlings, now that would pull in some major cash hahaha. Just my two cents

  • @Stargate80
    There one of you go again. Blaming the SG1/SGA fans for SGU's demise. We did give it a chance and many of us didn't like it. Its not what we wanted and it wasn't what made us tune in for 15 years. But I'll say it one last time. WHY WOULD ANYONE WATCH A SHOW THEY DIDN'T LIKE!
    Look I do feel sorry for the SGU fans ok. Its never a good feeling to have your show canceled. But now you know what the SGA fans felt when that was canceled prematurely.

  • @charmedstargate:

    I'm a SGU fan myself, but I've kinda given up on some of these posters like Stargate80, charmedstargate...

    They're almost akin to "truthers" (mostly liberals) or "birthers" (mostly conservatives) when it comes to a certain mindset-- that is, no matter how much evidence you can put up to refute their rants, they will stamp their feet, cross their arms, and spew the very same statements of misinformation ad infinitum. So neither political side has a monopoly on close-minded kookiness.

    That’s why I say a similar level of kookiness exists among our SG fan base that’s akin to the above examples. The rabid SGU crowd here among us has even come down with a cute tag for those they disagree with on all things SGU: "Haters".

    Kinda spooky, if I may say so myself…

  • You know what people. Give it a break! The show has been canceled, Period! Bickering about it will neither hurt or help the series. Grow up. As for the continuation of the series that will happen with books and comics. And I look forward to that. As for the franchise. I see a future in novels and comics. As for TV I do not see this series getting that chance as long as the powers that be focus on reality and 2nd rate shows like Ghost hunters, wrestling and cheap ass B movies.

  • The show is ending off on a good note. It would have been nice if this pace was maintained throughout the series! I think there were ways to do this and keep a lower budget. Less dark drama and sex innuendo and more true scripting for a Stargate story arc would have brought on a season 3. But if the economy and sci-fi market does get stronger, perhaps we will see more screen time for Stargate.

    So, many thanks to GateWorld for keeping the news, updates and support during all these years. Great job!
