Sad...

Knowing there is no intent to pick up later on SG, it's a sad ending :( The first of the SG endings that is not a "happy" one...

Sadly even, it's not even a "satisfying" ending. Sure it can be said only those who want will give Eli a tragic ending in their heads, but in the end, with all the "sideway slingshot episodes" SGU had, one can never imagine in ones head what a "happy suitable" ending would even be for Eli.

Having learned that SGA movie got dumped last April, sure do hope some of those brilliant minds come up with the idea of at least "wrapping" SGU up in a movie... That's the least these guys could do for more than a decades of fans!

Anyone around the globe think of starting a petition for a comeback on SG !? Sure do think we could gather up a good million signatures on it!
