How would you have ended the show?

I really liked the way Stargate Universe ended. Yes, that's not how they hoped to end it, but I thought it was great. The imagination is a powerful thing...

It's interesting what you say because I don't like StarGate Universe. Nevertheless not because it ended the way it did.

I hated much of SGU's first season, but I thought the second was vastly improving.

Still, I'd have much preferred two more seasons of Atlantis, a show I loved (along with SG-1) from start to finish.

Absolutely agreed on SG-1 and SG-A. They are my fav TV-shows after Star Trek Voyager.
I didn't like SG-U because I got to hate the main character (Rush) literally in the tenth minute of the show and the more it progressed, the more I hated him.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think "Endgame" was a near-perfect ending precisely because it showed no reunions, promotions, celebrations, reintegrations and whatnot on Earth and in the Alpha Quadrant. If it's all happy reunions, it just feels corny and drags because it's not tightly relevant to any kind of dramatic plot. If, on the other hand, someone's return to Earth is terrible, there isn't enough time to explore the tragedy and do it justice, so it comes off as gimmicky manipulation of the viewers' emotions. The image of Voyager returning to Earth as part of (a) Starfleet tells us what we need to know. They got home. The rest is left for the imagination or fan fiction or narratives in other media or just for the fascinating repository of the greatest stories forever left untold.
