Well, I'll feel a little less guilty about avoiding syfy's new werewolf series now.
Filming for the 2nd season finale started on the week of November 8th, and it ends in a cliff-hanger:

I think this and Caprica should serve as a notice to all future writers of sci-fi space dramas that ending your seasons in cliffhangers is NOT a good idea. From now on in these shows each season should be self contained and wrap up its inter-season arcs by the season finale.
Joe Mallozzi stated on his blog that SGU ending would make it hard to get any DVD films made.
Of course, he's a little biased, but it might be true.
I'm surprised that the fans think this is the end.
The Bankruptcy report made a concerted effort to put aside money for another series and two DVD movies.
They obviously know that there is a brand name here that may be fledgling but real nonetheless.
The brand name may be there, but it appears that the fans aren't, not in sufficient numbers to keep a Networked-Stargate TV show alive with the current measurement system used for ratings.
No its done im afraid! Space based sci fi is as good as done due to the cost and the lack of viewers.

Reality shows are the current "in" thing and will continue to be so as they are successful in terms of ratings and therefore money. Also a lot cheaper to make. Thank God for dvds!

"He and Rush adopted four blue aliens and celebrated their 39th episode together last week."

IIRC MGM made special provisions for Stargate in its new budget.Perhaps. I think it needs to take a long break and/or be rebooted. Becoming a movie franchise like Star Trek has switched to would be ideal I think but that probably won't happen. Some direct to dvd movies maybe. It wouldn't be good, I think, to jump to a new series. Also, isn't MGM bankrupt? This could very well be the last Stargate.
