It was because they cancelled two successful shows to make it. TPTB said fuck you to Atlantis fans and several times stated they don't need the old fans because they want to attract new ones with SGU. They cancelled SGA and went on with "Look at what we're going to do with all the monies! Create a pile of shit that is nothing like the Stargate you loved! We'll fuck up your favourite characters. We'll fuck up the mythos! We'll make it about fucking kids and their stupid dramas. We'll take everything you loved about this and make it into an unrecognisable mutant and you'll still love it! You have to! There won't be anything else!"

They promised a movie to wrap the Atlantis story up but then promptly started selling the props. And then SGU flopped when nearly no one cared for it (SG had pretty big core viewership, they didn't stay for SGU). I've watched the entire thing in hopes it would pick up but no, it stayed bad despite the good cast. And now TPTB killed a franchise that has been going on for years (and NO. It's not the fault of boycotting fans as the producers seem to believe - if it was as good as they believed it would have had viewers who weren't fans of SG) and it's yet another thing that makes me hate it. Goodbye movies.

Not a Stargate fan, but I do recall hearing about all this when it went down. And honestly, if TPTB were arrogant enough to say "we don't need you, we'll get new fans", then I kind of love the fact that it blew up in their face. Call it karma, schadenfreude, whatever, but in that case, I feel the universe unfolded as it should. (Except that I feel sorry for the SGU fans who got caught in the crossfire.)

Exactly correct, TPTB here screwed everyone over. SGU was an abomination to the franchise but it might have been OK as something original outside the Stargate fandom.
