What happens

Stargate Universe (abbreviated as SGU) is a military science fiction drama television series and part of MGM's Stargate franchise. It follows the adventures of a present-day, multinational exploration team traveling on the Ancient spaceship Destiny several billion light years distant from the Milky Way Galaxy. The team tries to figure out a way to return to Earth, while simultaneously trying to explore and to survive in their unknown area of the universe. The series featured an ensemble cast and was primarily filmed in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Created by Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, Stargate Universe premiered in the United States on Syfy on October 2, 2009. A second season began on September 28, 2010, ending on March 7, 2011. Syfy announced on December 16, 2010, that it would not be picking up Stargate Universe for a third season. The second season of SGU ended on a semi-cliffhanger. A comic book series set after the end of season 2 was published, but the original creators and writers were not involved. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
