VANCOUVER SUN: TV tonight: Stargate Universe
By Alex Strachan
March 8, 2011
The Stargate universe is about to disappear into the black hole of TV series cancelled before their time. The death watch starts Tuesday night, with the first of 10 new episodes of Stargate Universe, the third incarnation of a long-lasting series that began back in another time, in July 1997.
Stargate has been a regular fixture in sci-fi TV's space-and-time continuum since the Vancouver-filmed The Visitor and Millennium aired back-to-back on Fox on Thursday nights, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an appointment destination Monday nights on the old WB Network...
... The biggest question of them all will definitely be answered: Will these good stranded people ever make it home? Or will they, like the poor, benighted souls in Battlestar Galactica, end up on Earth at the dawn of humankind, only to have their bones dug up by paleontologists and be the butt of pop-culture jokes for years afterwards? Let's hope not. After 14 years, the Stargate universe deserves a better fate.
(Space, Tuesday 10 p.m. ET/PT)
