Brad & Coop screwed the franchise
I'm not sure he'd come back, people tend not to want to go back in creative endeavours they want to go forward.
Brad Wright really believes that investors will fill the financial gap left by Syfy? Just LOL!

Hahahahaha! I bet all sorts of strange aliens live in there!
Well, as long as they aren't those annoying, rubber-faced English speaking aliens. . .
I think even sooner!
I think that will happen even sooner than that! Bridge Studios have the largest FX stage in all of North America, including anything in the US. MGM is paying scads of money to keep that space for the SGU sets, and nothing is coming in to offset the cost of that. I think that the new MGM will nip that drain in the bud and have them torn down sooner than that. But we have the last 10 episodes to deal with.
. I dont see where it makes sense to air them in the regular schedule...why not blow them all out like they are going to do Craprica?
He is promising and promoting DVD movies again?
I think he is just babbling and lying anyway and has no plans other than trying to appease people until something else comes along. My bets are that before the end of 2011 the SGU sets will be torn down.

It doesn't take long for sets to be pulled down. Props from one set are often used in another production. In my family, it's almost turned into a game...
"Hey, wasn't that piece of furniture/fireplace/sculpture used in <insert dead program name here>?"
Set space is at a premium and a production house cannot afford to leave sets lying fallow. It's not good business sense at all.

We used to play a game at this one job I had where we would try to spot our merchandise in certain TNG/DS9/STV episodes. They had a thing for using candle holders as drinking glasses. They also did creative things with CD holders, turning them into "control panels" and stuff like that.
And yeah, I'd say the clock is ticking on the SGU sets. There's probably a procedure for tearing sets down once a show has been axed. I just don't see them being kept in storage until the end of the final 10 episodes.

They could raise cash for the show by selling tickets for people to take a swing at the sets with a sledge hammer. I would buy into that for sure.
If they made Brad Wright stand off to the side and watch as we demolished the sets I would pay extra!
Let me do it with kinos!
I would love to use those kinos and throw them through the plywood walls of the corridors. Better yet, dislodge the SGU gate from its base and roll the damned thing through the set like a bulldozer.
Or, take the scale model of the Destiny (is there one?) and since its shaped like a sickle blade, use it to slice the consoles and smash those poorly disguised TV screens they are using for computer displays.

Reading this just makes me think how delusional these guys are. they just dont get it, the show is garbage and thats why it was cancelled. Still they talk about renewal....

Glassner just might...
I've met Glassner before. He mentioned how awful he thinks SGU is, but he keeps it to himself because he still considers BW a friend. He thinks the whole franchise turned into a bad Galactica imitation that has little to do with Stargate.
Maybe we should start a "Draft Glassner" campaign with MGM or SYFY.

He probably loves the concept of the Stargate and the stories that can be told with it. SGU must have been a bitter pill to swallow, seeing it taints the Stargate "universe" and legacy so badly.
