I find myself listening to this piece of music every day over and over again. Gauntlet is the most beautiful episode of Stargate ever, and the music really makes it. Joel Goldsmith is a Genius.
I just found out that Joel Goldsmith died on Sunday. The cause is still unknown, though he did battle cancer in his life. Rest In Peace Joel, and thank you for such memorable compositions as this one, and so many more.
I almost cried when i saw this scene in the show. WHY OH WHY DID THEY CANCEL THIS AMAZING AMAZING SHOW...i loved this show so much..i had to go to therapy when they cancelled it!
Basically: if the show got renewed, that meant Eli managed to repair a stasis pod and the Destiny had the energy to reach the next galaxy. If not, the Destiny is now adrift with the crew in stasis, potentially thousands of years from ever being revived, and Eli's fate unknown. So, technically, in the show's canon they're out there right now, floating across the incomprehensibly vast nothing between galaxies, and I think this piece of music really expresses that idea.
I agree I would love a new season, I would love a happy ending. After watching both seasons, a lot of times, I believe we got a perfect ending, it was such a beautiful way to end it, and in the end it's up to our imagination to decide what really happens after everything, that's what makes it so beautiful, it's like an open book.
This music is so beautiful. It always brings a tear to my eye...I miss Stargate: Universe. Thank you for uploading this song; I've been looking for it for a while.
I've just seen the episode right now, again for the 23492734th time. It will always hunt me in my dreams to think about what might happen(ed) to the Destiny. The Series was great, no matter what all the Haters said.. Too bad they've canceled it. Too bad we will never discover Destinys last Harbour. I've wished for a Finale for this Series that they enter Earths orbit with the Destiny..
@@DespotarX they survived, Eli found another stash of pods with the ancients in them (engineers left behind by accident) they rebuild the destiny with an army of robots and it kicked ass out of the drones. mission goes on. all in the comics 'return to destiny'.
@gettotheGate Wonderful comment. SGU was going to be the crown jewel of the Stargate franchise and if the execs at SyFy had just taken the bold step of giving SGU a third season it could have ended on a very high and emotional note. Thanks to their stupidity, one of science fictions greatest tributes to televised science fiction will never have it's story told.
I feel depressed listening to this. I'll admit, I never like Universe at first, but by Darkness it grew on me. RIP SGU, I will not forget you. And damn you Syfy, first SG1, then Atlantis, noow SGU. Why must you take away all that I love!
This is the same thing that happened to Star Trek Voyager! Not every show has to always have funny sides to it. This show like Galactica, Caprica, and recent star trek series were just way ahead of their time. Season one showed the climate and scope of people, but season two got into the depth of characters and the ship as a whole. These shows have real tidbits of science in them, and for that some people start complaining. Why I don't know? Good shows get axed, all that's left are jokes!
We love these shows, because the characters experience what we can only dream of. We can't see or experience or explore what they see experience or explore, that's why we love them. It soothes the fact that we are so inhibited by our technological advancements.
The most intelligent movement that Syfy can make now is bring back SGU show again, as a sorprise, as a gift for it's true fans, like me, like you. That's all about make money guys working in syfy, take back what you Clients claim!
@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo And Syfy were the ones that premiered it in the fall instead of summer like it was supposed to, replaced Scifi Friday with wrestling, and kicked it to the curb on a Tuesday night slot when nobody is watching cable to begin with.
@orbrusnine1 , syfy cancelled it after the 1st half, the producers had to rewrite guantlet to make a sort of ending as best they could without making a huge plot change. They also made it an ipen ended end incase it can be picked up by other networks....essentially a ongoing story just on hiatus.
Dieses Lied klingt, wie ein Lied zum Abschied. Sowas stimmt einen erst recht traurig. Vor allem wenn man gegenüber den Kritikern, recht behaltemn hat, was die Entwicklung der Geschichte und der Crerw angeht. Schade, und hoffentlich sind alle Ungeduldigen damit zufrieden, das eine Serie, bevor sie ihr volles Potential entfalten konnte, abgesetzt wurde!
After ten years of watching the franchise I'm officially done with tying myself to a show. So many shows that I've loved have been made puppets or killed prematurely by a ruthless and profit driven enterprise of TV. They've auctioned off the sets and props for SGA and SGU, and watching the ending of this show tells me that this is the end of Stargate as we know it. The glimmer that was Destiny, emerging from the blackness of space in the premiere has dimmed its lights and shimmered into black.
I don't support a dubstep version of this song. Never. Maybe a very, very good Drum and Bass rendition, probably Liquid DnB. But this piece of music is just too good for any other genre :-) Don't hate on MGM for not getting Atlantis movies out, because I think by then they didn't have lots of money to do that, but just enough to do SGU properly. The other thing is that I think the people behind SGU thought they'd be better able to do more quality stories with SGU than with Atlantis, and they did that very well.
I was actually thinking that if nothing happens to work and he doesn't fix the pod in time, his consciousness can always be uploaded into Destiny's memory bank.
Why there is no third season? There are so many questions without anweres. What happenes to Eli? Will they find something against TJs illnes? Is Park able to see at the end? All these questions and a lot more are not amswred yet but I hope that there will be a third season with answeres on this questions but untill this time I only can say SGU rest in peace
Goodbye, SGU. If it ever comes back, whether in TV, movie, or book form (like they did with SG1 and Atlantis) I'll be waiting. The only problem is I can't find any SG books in e-book form, and the last bookstore in my part of the state just closed. Has anyone seen any SG novels in ebook form for the NOOKColor?
just a thought, but rumor has it that those of us that enjoyed SGU could possibly get it brought back by signing this partition www.change.org/p/ted-sarandos-save-stargate-universe
I hope people realise that they cancelled Atlantis for Universe, and promised direct to DVDS to continue SG1 & Atlantis. I bought all the Atlantis DVD's to support the show. Atlantis had very high ratings, but the producers wanted2focus on a younger audience, so they cancelled it. Due2this happening, no 1 wanted to watch SGU, or buy the dvds. They knew that it wont help. Look what happened, the Series was cancelled. AND! their promised movies...what happened? I watched SGU last week...not bad
Goodbye, SGU; I enjoyed it while it lasted. If it ever comes back, whether in TV, movie, or book form (like they did with SG1 and Atlantis), I'll be waiting. . . .except I can't find any SG books in e-book form in my part of the state just closed. Has anyone seen anything for SG in NOOKColor?
You guys know that they main reason it was cancelled is because of the big buget show Tera Nova with ( Cough cough speilberg ) waste of space director/ tera nova is sgu but with dino's . bring back SGU it was gonna be the next NEXT Gerneration.
am i correct in thinking this is from the episode but you lowered the amplitude on everything above the volume of the music therefore makin it really quiet dialogue?
Has anyone tried to contact MGM or the goldsmith estate inquiring about the recording of this specific song or even a CD of the music of Stargate Universe?
I have and I feel like I should write again. Basically they said, that if people want the soundtrack, they will look into publishing it somewhere. I believe it was about 2 years ago... I will write them today and post on Reddit (r/Stargate) what I got.
@reisurctaraza Sorry to reply here, but is there anyway one could do a "request" for a SGU track? I've always loved the "Amanda Perry theme" (that's what I call it since it features prominently during a lot of her scenes) and was wondering if you could extract it? It's on this clip and starts around the :20 mark: /watch?v=Jr1ALal3pak Anyways, love the uploads and thankful for them. SGU was a great show and these videos will have to do until the official soundtrack/score comes out. Thanks!
