Smith – zpověď vašich hrdinů Galerie Nové koncepty ke Stargate Universe, Co nás letos čeká v SGU Zajímavosti Šťastný nový rok, Youtube panel Téma měsíce SGU končí druhou řadou Ve čtvrtek 16. 12. 2010 jsme se od Syfy dozvěděli velmi smutnou zprávu – Syfy nezakoupilo třetí řadu SGU a to znamená konec našeho oblíbeného seriálu. Po dvou řadách, kdy se nad SGU neustále vznášel otazník díky nízké sledovanosti je tedy rozhodnuto a i když nebyl oznámen oficiální důvod, tak všem je jasné, že jde hlavně o počet diváků. Živě se na epizody dívalo vždy jen něco málo přes milion diváků, což bylo nedostačující. Všichni jsme se ale tuto zdrcující zprávu dozvěděli najednou, dokonce i sami herci nic netušili, dokud se to neobjevilo na jejich twitteru díky fanouškům. "Zatraceně. Právě jsem slyšel ty novinky. Očividně, nikdo se nám to nerozhodl říci dopředu." poznamenal k tomu David Blue (Eli Wallace). "Sledujte druhou polovinu druhé řady, opravdu jsem na ni hrdý, protože ke konci je Eli zatraceně cool. Opravdu bych chtěl vidět, jak by to pokračovalo. Ale vážím si veškeré vaší podpory do budoucna." dodal Blue. "Dozvědět se o zrušení SGU od svých fanoušků jen ukazuje sílu Twitteru. Bude mi velmi chybět má SGU rodina. Díky za vaši lásku a podporu!" napsala Ming-Na (Camile Wray) na svůj Twitter. Díky jednoduchosti Twitteru totiž během několika vteřin od oznámení ukončení SGU odeslalo spoustu lidí slova útěchy všem hercům.
