sgu15Missed the second half of “Stargate: Universe”‘s first sesaon?

We’ve been telling you for months how the show continued to improve in its first season, culminating last week in a season finale and cliffhanger.

If you want to catch up or just see it again, the second half of season one is set for release on DVD and Blu-Ray on July 27.

STARGATE UNIVERSE (SGU 1.5)

Featuring An All New Survival Instinct Game And Over 90 Minutes Of Extras
SGU 1.5 Arrives July 27

The latest hit series from the creators of “Stargate SG-1” makes a date with destiny when “SGU 1.5” debuts on Blu-ray Disc and DVD July 27 from MGM Home Entertainment. Featuring the final 10 episodes of season one, the story continues to follow a group of soldiers, scientists and civilians that was unexpectedly transported to the other side of the universe. Stranded billions of miles from Earth on an Ancient ship known as the Destiny, the passengers encounter adventures beyond their wildest dreams as they struggle to survive.

“Stargate Universe” recorded the highest Friday night series premiere since “Battlestar Gallactica” debuted in 2005, drawing in 2.7 million viewers. The bold and original show features an out of this world cast including Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty), Brian J. Smith (Hate Crime), David Blue (“Ugly Betty”), Jamil Walker Smith (“Hey Arnold!”), and Canadian actors Louis Ferreira, Alaina Huffman, Patrick Gilmore and Elyse Levesque. Plus fans will enjoy special appearances by original cast member Richard Dean Anderson (“MacGyver”).

Fans can also enjoy “Stargate Universe’s” very first interactive experience, the SGU: Survival Instinct Game, offered exclusively on the “SGU 1.5” Blu-ray Disc. The brand new game challenges players to use their knowledge, intelligence and skillfulness to jump through a series of time loops in order to return to the Destiny. In addition, the “SGU 1.5” Blu-ray Disc and DVD feature a universe of bonus materials including 15 behind-the-scenes featurettes, video diaries and commentary on every episode. The “SGU 1.5” three-disc Blu-ray will be available for a suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S./$49.99 Canada and the three-disc DVD will be available for $ 29.98 U.S./$37.98 Canada. A special on pack sleeve will be included for fans to combine SGU 1.0 and SGU 1.5 into one complete set. Prebook is June 30.

    “I refuse to buy these half season sets.”

    Yeah, me too. But even if they were selling the full season set, I don’t think it would be worth enough to buy.

    I *so* miss the days when a freaking “season” meant you got 22 episodes of a show, one after the other.

    I’m not entirely sure where it started, but it seems to have spread onto every network. Half a dozen episodes here, a few more there, then a wait of most of a year, and it comes back for a trickle more right when I thought the show was cancelled and / or I stopped caring.

    Now, this “Volume 1.5” crap is just pathetic – they can’t even by rights use the *word* “season” anymore.

    I think it started with BSG, when they released season 2.0. It seems to be a thing that shows on the Sci-fi channel do a lot.

    The only thing I like about the half season set, with this show specifically, is that I don’t have to wait and it’s nice to have during those long annoying mid-season breaks. Maybe they’re testing the secondary market to work that into the shows earning potential. Blah, I’m just happy I don’t have to wait that long. I’ve really enjoy re-watching the first half. It’s even better the second time.

    22 episodes? I miss the days when a “season” meant you got _26_ episodes.
