They got what was coming to them. What goes around comes around right? The diehards that are over the top that thinks SGU is TV gold and love moody and depressive shows? Then it's perfect that SGU got cancelled, they can be moody and depressive for the rest of their lives cos of it. They can get angry and start wearing black eyeliners and wearing black clothes listening to angry pure metal rock about hate and death, and they can stew in the house all day long, telling the outside people, how no one understands them and that they are idiots. That it hurts so much to be alive and how it is so unfair how life is one sick game. Thats gone beyond a joke, how one reason for being alive has been cancelled cos no one else shares their pain. No one understands the stress, the loneliness of having to go through struggles, and how SGU highlights the daily battle.When the pro-SGU people were saying that the show was perfect, and so much better than the "bubble gum" of SG-1 and SGA, I know it was done. They could have instead just spoken about how they loved the drama and the characters and the darkness and shaky cam and so forth...but they always needed to throw in something like "SGU is awesome and dark and cool.....especially compared to SG-1 and SGA." Always framing the show by real Stargate shows. But they couldnt much do that after the season's ratings fell far below those of SG-1 and SGA for any given season.
By the time Gateworld and the squees had deleted/censored/disappeared all the negative commentary and then enhanced the perception of SGU by lying, exaggerating and outright manipulation, the show was done. The pro-SGU folks killed Stargate by apathy and denial. If they were going for the emo crowd, after they hit age 18 they become more normal and throw out the black makeup and lipstick. Ever seen a 25-year old emo?
No closure, nothing.
Then they can begin the dark spiral obsession about things that end prematurely and the unfairness, then they start obsessing about dead creatures then, then wanting to end one's life.
I would make a perfect emo cos I know about struggles, how life is unfair. Growing up, I never had birthday parties, I did all the chores in the house, I had to work part time from a young age and managing school at the same time, just so I can get the things I want, cos my parents aren't going to get it for me, I had to work for it. My parents never have nor will say - "Son, I'm proud of you" or "I love you son". My family is as dysfunctional and unloving and distant as one gets, and do you see me getting all emo and loving SGU cos it's dark and moody and depressive like some blanket one can cover himself to shield away from the pain - no, cos watching dark, cyclic depressing things where things just do not get actioned is not healthy, never has and never will.
Yeah gonna disclose something, when I was a teen, I did think about suicide once but realised I'm stronger than that, I may have been all popular with loads of friends at school but to be unrecognised at home is lonely but I'm stronger than that, stronger than my parents and I'm full of love and I don't need SGU to be in my face; cos I see SGU as a rep of that suicidal thought and I'm gonna kick its ass. I'm gonna make sure, I'm there ready everytime someone parades SGU like some sort of trophy, suicide is not a trophy and parading it around is simply pure weakness.
Many people are at the dark place right now and don't have the strength to stand up, I'm sure gonna stand up.
