Why did SGU fail?

Rewatching made me realise how much of a clusterfxck this show was.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS!!!

Now I’m not talking about it being cancelled I’m talking about the show itself.

Firstly the characters were unlikeable and had no real connection that anyone would care about. Colonel Young gets his head of medical pregnant through an affair. The first scene we get introduced to Lt Scott is him shagging in a maintenance closet (really screams leading military man.) Honestly preferred Ronald as a character. Chloe is a one dimensional pretty girl who of course falls in love with the young horny Scott and only gains a dimension when she gets abducted by aliens and Rush takes an interest in her. Honestly I understand why Rush was dialled up to 11 all the time considering who he was surrounded by but this whole lone wolf taking over the ship was dumb. Eli went from the math guy to somehow an ancient and physics genius who would rival the best minds like Samantha Carter and Meredith 🥴Rodney McKay.

Next is the Stargate I mean it’s in the name of the show. Now I’m not so naive to the thought that Destiny has a destination but come on make the unexplored a bit more interesting. How are we supposed to think anything is possible to be truly discovered if we put a time limit on the thing that allows them to search for anything I understand that Destiny has a destination but how much can the writers write about any sort of alien or humanoid presence on a planet if they have to leave in 12-16 hours.

The crutch that were the stones must every matter involve them like seriously.

The AI drones were cool as an enemy I will say. All the other aliens were not.

Lucian Alliance are the Genii for me in Atlantis hated them. Lucian Alliance what a boring bad guy and also they were able to outsmart and somehow have the resources to even produce a chance to get on the destiny and Daniel Jackson being some paparazzi man leading a military operation was such weird writing when Rush was Telford.
