I was thinking about sci-fi's cancelling of the show, and it occured to me... Sci-fi has never come out with an official statement as to why they are cancelling the show...
One thing that comes to mind is that sci-fi feels that the show has gone on so long that the cost of keeping the show running (paying crew, cast, materials) has gone up so high that they feel the ratings just aren't high enough to allow add revenues to break even with the costs.
Therefore, Sci-fi believes that if the show is taken off the station, bringing on a new/newer show in it's place would be cheaper, and would be less financial risk as it's easier to break even and possibly make more profit.
And the reason why sci-fi would not make a statement of this kind is because this has been done in the past with other shows on their networks. Either the network came out with some bull@$&% reason or they just kept quite about it.
... Now i bet i'll get bashed as a stargate hater for this, but believe me, i'm a HUGE fan of both shows, and many other sci-fi shows, and if i could keep stargate sg-1/atlantis/other spinoffs on the air i would do w/e i could, but this seems to be the only good enough explanation of why sci-fi is doing this without making a public statement.
Lets here ideas...
