I never did like the show, but even for those who did, it's hard to feel too bad about a show getting cancelled after 10 years. Has there been any other Sci-Fi show, aside from Dr. Who, that has run as long?
That, and I stopped watching SciFi when they cancelled Farscape, so it effects me little, either way.

What do you expect from the brain trust that runs the scifi channel? These folks have been f'ing up from the get go. They spend God knows how much money on one lousy original movie after another, stuff that would be a stretch to call a "B" horror flick. Yet they come up with something original (can't remeber the name of their first program about the crew of kids on an ark), something with a following (Farscape), and they s*&t can it. They take on a cancelled show from another network (Stargate SG-1 Showtime) beat it to death and then dilute it (Stargate Atlantis) when that doesn't work lets try and salvage it with actors from shows we know people watch...Farscape...firefly. To those of you who watched Stargate my condolences, welcome to the ranks of those who mourn science fiction's gems; farscape, firefly, etc.

I don't see why they wouldn't air Morena's episodes. Using their own language, "SCI FI Channel confirmed that it will not renew its record-breaking original series Stargate SG-1 for another season", which means that, yes, the show is in its last season, but the season hasn't finishing filming. In fact, they are still in the first half, I think, so they should have plenty of time to bring all their arcs to a logical conclusion and give the show an end that is as satisfying as possible at this point.

Quote:Erm SG1 is the longest running American Sci-fi show. Ever. Everythings got to end sometime, personally IMHO this is getting to the be the right time, shows tend to start getting silly and running out of ideas if they go on too long. SG1 isn't there yet but it's starting to show signs that is rolling down that path.

Why do those stupid shows about everybody loving some dufus or the King Dufus of some such stay on tv and good shows get canceled?
It's better to let it burn out than turn into Sliders.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

They want it to go out in dignity.
However, I might just kill that real quick, with some fun for those who love both SW (IV-VI, duh? The Classic trilogy) and SG-1.

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

To be honest, SG1 wasn't exactly a favorite of mine, either.
I don't know how much of that is anger toward SciFi for continually sinking scads of money into producing crappy movies that should have come with three heads in the bottom right corner (Long Live MST3K!!) and how much is just that SG1 was eventually a mediocre show.
I have to agree that now may be the chance to push for a return of Firefly. But as has been said on threads before, the wallet is the only thing these bastages understand...right now our BDS and BDM is making money without them having to do one single thing except rake it in. Once you take that money away--hit 'em in the wallet--they have to sit up and pay attention.
