Stargate Universe: Getting good just as it ends (Spoilers Ahoy)

Still doesn't mean I wouldn't like to punch the guy at SyFy responsible for cancelling this while still managing to have the gall to greenlight another season of Sanctuary.
So he sacrificed himself because he wanted for once to be the hero, to be the one shouldering everyone's burdens.
Just look at his face in the end.

Nah, let's keep Sanctuary and actually be pissed that we got Quantam Kitchen, Ghost Hunters, and all the other upcoming reality shows. I like Sanctuary. And honestly, I'd rather there be a scripted show on that I don't care for, than another reality show. A scripted show has a much higher chance of one day grabbing me and making me buy all the previous seasons on DVD and watching all of them as fast as I can to get caught up with the current season as it airs, as my wife and I did with SG:1 almost 10 years ago.

I am choosing to reject your answer for two reasons.
1) Eli is too badass to die.
2) The show was supposed to go on another season, it would be a bit grimdark even for SGU to load in to a corpse of Eli.

Besides absolute crap?
Granted, I've only watched a few episodes, but it seems terrible. It's got one of the contestants from Top Chef (Marcel?) running a catering business making odd food with science (or as they say "Molecular Gastronomy"). People in the kitchen bitch that they don't have time, their customers bitch because they used the wrong shape plates and at that point I change the channel because this isn't sci-fi this is a god damned cooking show that should be on one of the three or four networks dedicated to god damned cooking shows.
That does not belong on a sci-fi (I wish) channel.
Maybe one day we'll get a novel or something to wrap up the show. Even if we don't, I'm thankful for what we did get and I'll finish up the story in my head or something.

I'm going with: Eli restored Gan (?) for a quick conjugal visit before stasis, so they dropped out early. Thus, they will wake up in a thousand years, when the show is picked up again.
Seems like the most likely outcome would have something to do with Destiny being able to store human consciousness on it's hard drive.
I'm going with: 3 years later, the crew wake up see Eli's pod still empty. Everyone is sad as Young explains what happened at the end. They hold a funeral for Eli, everyone takes turns saying nice things, Rush admits that Eli's idea worked out and likely saved them all.
Then Eli, Ginn and the other ghost in the machine show up as holograms, turns out Eli was able to fix that a lot easier then he would have been able to fix the stasis pod...
Then they gate to a planet where bodies grow on trees allowing them to put all three back into real bodies. And the fandom hates the show for reverting to even stupider Deus Ex Machinas then the original series did.
Can still hope they put out some novels to give some closure to the story though. That'd probably be the cheapest way to wrap the series up anyway.
More pro-wrestling!

Maaan, maybe it'll take three years IRL before Syfy realise how much they suck.
If they haven't realized it yet, they never will.
Doesn't work while ship is in FTL-flight.
Regarding Sy-Fy:
Is it really that hard to have ONE channel dedicated to just sci-fi?
Yes they do, they stop a little while during the transition, but otherwise functional.
I think the real reason was shared earlier. It would be an insult to the whole show to end with Deux Ex Carter-a.
As an aside, as people were saying earlier, I enjoyed the finale. For the hype of a cliffhanger that would leave us angry and sad, it was actually probably as good as we'd have gotten if they had known they were cancelled.

TJ? As soon as they have a functioning supply line, they can send in some Tretonin. Boom, problem solved. There's no reason that ALS has to be cured on the Destiny itself.
Why hasn't anyone ever cloned an Ancient?
The Asgard tried experiments on O Neill to see if he could handle an Asgard intelligence. Surely, cloning a Ancient would be more logical?
Yeah the initial commercials for this made it seem like something that might be fun to watch but the science is few and far between the giant crapfest that is the catering drama soap opera.
Only took me one episode of listening to Marcel blame one of the other people for messing up and 2 minutes of theoretically neat but honestly quite disgusting 'lets vaccum seal the juice into this fruit to make melon taste like salmon!' to decide the show was crap and was on the wrong channel.
Which would have been totally awesome
I doubt that long.
Earth has all asgard and ancient knowledge, all it needs to do is figure out how to make ZPMs and it could chain a couple together to hit Destiny.
Anyway, the idea that the idea that the drones are guarding every suitable star in the galaxy is rather silly. There are BILLIONS of stars in a galaxy. Even if 1% are usable, that still leaves tens of millions of stars.
The logical thing would be to put 90% of the crew in stasis to stretch out the food supply for a months, then use your repair bots to repair FTL and power. Then you refuel, and leave.
The crew still has canned goods?
From a Novus and that other human planet that was deserted.
Right.
Every suitable star along Destiny's path. This and the next question (about going off the path) came up during the episode.
They dont want to leave the path because the gate seed ships plotted out the best/safest course through each galaxy.
Veering off that path is why they are having issues with drones right now.
If Sci-Fi doesn't do a 180 and make this season 3, they might as well shut the place down. This is exactly the sort of thing that made SG-1 great. A big, but not insurmountable enemy that could be beaten with ingenuity and a little C4.
