I thought SGU had an excellent premise and did take the show in a different direction. Are you sure it wasn't depressing because you knew how they left off?

The premise was good, the execution... I re-watched SGU a few years ago and it was worse than I'd remembered - I'd apparently forgotten/blocked out a lot of the bad parts. In addition to that, for having an immediate storyline available, they took way waaaay too long to get into it. From what I've heard most fans dropped out before they even learned what Destiny's true mission was.

I am still hoping that someone picks that up and tells how the story continues

  The SG:U story you mean? FYI there is a comic that continues right where the show left of: Stargate Universe: Back to Destiny.

    I read that after the rewatch. It's a half-episode at best that quickly shoehorns a large conclusion onto it. Ever since that cominc, I've been looking for fanfictions instead....

      I basically just want the cliffhanger to be resolved, so the comic may be an option. But if someone has the source of alternate storyline that is more than just a quick wrap up then I am more than happy to read that instead

I think sibling summed it up really well, I liked the setting and the concept, but I found the focus on drama and inter-personal relationships a bit draining, which is to say not particularly entertaining or interesting to me at least. I’d have loved some more focus on the ship and the journey, but I understand avoiding ‘lore’ was actually a goal of the series so not aimed at me I guess…

SGU was really interested in who had a crush on whom, who was a bad husband/wife, who had degenerative diseases, and who was cheating with whom. I wanted to see Stargate-related and exploration-related things.
