Stargate Universe Canceled by Syfy
News of the cancellation of Stargate Universe. It’s over folks.
December SGU Rumors
So I’ve been hearing rumors that Robert Carlyle, aka Dr. Rush, might be looking for a way off the show. I can’t remember where I heard this, and like I said, it is just a rumor as far as I know, but it got me thinking about what I would think of Stargate Universe without Dr. Rush.
Let’s just say, the show would not be the same. Dr. Rush is the single most intriguing character on SGU at the moment, in my opinion, and the show would be hurt terribly if his character left.
Although I think some of the more recent plot devices, including the use of the imaginary people who talk to him, haven’t done his character any favors, I still believe Dr. Rush is the best character on the show. His loyalties are deliberately ambiguous. He was never set up to be the hero, and yet, he’s actually shown some interesting tendencies in that direction. His secret agenda, whatever it might ultimately turn out to be, seems to be well motivated–although I can’t say for sure until I find out what it is!
At any rate, Dr. Rush’s departure could kill the show, I believe, so I seriously hope this is just a rumor that turns out to be false.
Anyone agree or disagree? Feel free to share!
