Do you know what happens when you wind up stuck on a spaceship galaxies away from your home? If you’re Voyager you get a little sad, bond with your crew mates and look forward to the adventures taking the long way home.

If you’re the crew from Stargate Universe, you fall to pieces, get depressed, stay depressed and after 17 depression filled episodes your depression reaches your viewers until they too become depressed.

Bravo.

Never before has a single show been so chock-full of depression that it spilled through the television set to it’s viewership.

Bravo.

17 episodes and they still haven’t figured a way to gain any control of the ship they’re on.

17 episodes and they still haven’t had any sort of real good time.

17 episodes and other than having a round glow-y disk that spins called a Stargate there’s nothing in this show that has any passing resemblance to a Stargate series like good action, quality, writing or passion.

17 episodes and they’re all eating the same vanilla pudding.

17 episodes and you can tell the actors are really getting annoyed at trying to work with nothing.

17 episodes and you have to wonder if the execs at the studio realize they’ve been had. The audience figured this out immediately.

Never before has a single show sucked out all the happy out of the entire small screen. The previous record holder were the shows on the Lifetime channel but that was a whole network and this is a single show.

Stargate Universe is so depressing it only took 10 episodes before one of the characters committed suicide. Probably to get off the show because the actor was 2 episodes away from doing it for real.

Yeah, I know… it’s depressing. We get it. Seriously we’ve got depression now.

Way to kill a franchise guys. You can stop now.
