Big fan, extremely disappointed that channel 10 had the cheek to
put three episodes on , and I am asking now what? Where is it! The only pleasure i get is watching SGU, I realise us sci/fi fans have to battle the time slots for reality shows and tear jerker soapies..
Please bring it back or I will have to wait to the dvd comes out.

Okay, can some one please tell me why has SGU been taken off TV when it has only been on for 3 episodes!! It is the only reason i bother to turn the tv on in the first place.

All i can really say is TEN can take their holidays movies and stick em where the sun don’t shine!!!! Twats!!!

To all those people who are talking about how all Sci Fi Shows should stay on pay, not everyone can afford Pay TV! I am so happy that Channel TEN has picked up SGU, because I would have to wait for DVD otherwise. And I am quite happy to wait a week to watch another episode than wait six months to a year for the DVD’s to come out.

I have to LOL with people’s expectations for Ten, the most inept of all commercial stations to actually deliver this series in a timely and consistent manner. I always wait till it’s out as a complete season on DVD. It means I have to wait extra months, but there’s no waiting a week to see the next episode, only to find the timeslot moved, or it was postponed cos of a us fashion show. WTF?\

To the comment about sci-fi belongs on the sci-fi channel; Many sci-fi nerds and geeks have little interest in the 100 other sports channels on Fox, so why pay a huge fee for that crap plus a premium to watch a sci-fi chanel that has mainly re-runs of stuff I’ve got on DVD already.

TV has really lost it’s way, but sci-fi still rocks!!!

I saw the ad which states the timeslot last night during rush, it says mondays 9:30pm from december 12th, the 12th isn’t a monday though so maybe a typo, though technically still correct they usually say the actual date not some random date that the monday will come after.

@Scott – SciFi still has the first run (and fast track) rights to SGU and I doubt it will be around long on FTA, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s gone before the end of the year to be replace but re-runs of Supernatural or NCIS…

Ten, please feel free to take this off the air once ratings start again. I doubt it would rate anywhere near high enough for it to stay on…. They should have left it on the sci-fi channel where it belongs

Ten … Do Not Under Any Circumstances Stuff Around With The Time Slot!
If You Do Then It Will Be Entirely Your Fault That It Fails!

I was very sceptical about it after seeing the Pilot Episode … but since then it has improved and engaged me … some of the characters are too grey but the ship and the journey are impressive … not as good as SG1, but different and interesting and we just need to get used to the fact that SG1 will only be a TV move every six months from now on …

Give it a go and handle it with care and respect!

I tried so hard to like it but this is painfully meandering television. As of the last episode I’ve switched off.

@Steve .. Agree with you but I started to like it at about episode 7. I really hope people watch beyond episode 3 which is where I started the internal debate of whether or not to persevere and I’m glad I did. Nothing like the fabulous SG-1 but still worth a look. Good on you Channel 10 but don’t screw it up like you did Nurse Jackie.

Ten really need to launch their equivalent to GO! and 7TWO so these kinds of shows can be seen. SGU is an incredible series – the episodes so far have been nothing short of amazing. But yeah, sci-fi is too niche in this country. We’re even lucky Seven have scheduled the remaining Atlantis eps even though the series is available on DVD.

It would be great to know when/if affiliates like Southern Cross and Prime are likely to get this, and other new shows.

Ratings very good for SGU, but it seems that its mostly all the old SG1 and SGA fans wanting a new show as they have ended.

But SGU is more like a soapie, none of the action that was in SG1 and SGA. So everyone waits in hope it will get better after character development, but 9 episodes in already that hasn’t really happened yet.

It is predictable and slow in comparison to the older series. Its more directed to those who cannot fathom out all the technical mumbo jumbo of the other gate series. And those who watch soapie type series, with sex and other relationship stories, then this is it.

If you liked the action of the older gates series, and the technical sci fi gadgets, and relationships to out old Egyptian past then SGU will not give you any of that.

It slowly grows on me but not as good as the older gate shows.

Do 10 now how fast track rights to this for next year, taken off Sci fi?

Channel 10 doesn’t deserve the rights to Sci Fi shows, they stick them on late night after only a few shows.
Eureka is a great show its on at midnight, who’s going to sit up that late for it.
They will do the same to this show it will end up too late to watch for anyone

FTA doesn’t do justice to Sci Fi fans, let the Sci fi channel put them on at a decent hour and stop stealing them just to graveyard them away from fox all the time.

I do wonder why TEN got it and not seven, very odd.

Will watch even though I’ve see em already and in HD
