    However, I agree with you. They should've ended SG-1 after S08 and let SGA do its own thing and not mix it with what remained of SG-1.

    I know this post contradicts my other one in this very thread, but I've changed my opinion about some Stargate-related things since then.

    I think if they simply made the seasons after 8 a spin off, not only would the ratings for those seasons be better but there might still be a genuine stargate series today.

      It needed more conclusion but 9 and 10 you can see the burn out happening. As a fan I would love 20 seasons but who knows if good writers could be found.

      I'm a fan of all 3 SG1, SGA, SGU and think SGU should never have been cancelled so early. They could have gone out further into the universe.

        Sure last seasons on both were worse ,but i bet that was not cos the inspiration was gone.
        But because they probably already had lots of scripts laying around that they wanted to make use of instead of writing [spending cash on creating] new episodes.

        I especially hated the episodes where they came to Earth or had visions about being on Earth.
        Like the episode with the kid and the water pistol at the end
        And the episode where SGA cast went to the casino
        That was cheap rip off drama not Sci Fi imo
        Stargate should be about visiting worlds by gate or short distance jumpers imo.

        But SG-1 and SGA could have gone on for years to come in my opinion.

        SG-1 visited worlds and that's only limited by the writers imagination.
        There are more planets in the universe then the amount of sand grains we have on Earth.
        So any planet you can imagine could exist.

        NOW may 2014 i have zero sci fi series that i can watch.
        Falling skies is funny but no space ships in it nor in any other sci fi series atm
        So imo now should be the time to restart SG-1 or SGA ,if it has to be ,with new cast.
        I absolutely miss a series that gives adventure in a sci fi jacket.

        IF they'd want to create new episodes ,then there is enough inspiration to find in Archaeology.
        We now have

        And a recently new discovery at Gunung Padang, Java, Indonesia Dated to 23 000 BCE

        There are even people testing skulls DNA atm cos they think we have Alien skulls found on Earth
        Brien Foerster Elongated Skulls DNA results [Paracas area of Peru]

        And there are many more of these sites ,that could be linked to an Alien race.
        Archaeology has loads of mysterious sites around the world to fill loads of new series episodes.

        If you like archaeology have a look at my play lists [No tube partner so no advertising income for me and not my uploaded video's ,so only shared for those who are interested in the subject ]

        Ancient Sites ,Asia1 - Cambodia [1 of the lists there are many more on my profile ]

        I dove into that world cos Stargate inspired me on that track.
        And i bet the writers are also into this topic cos SG-1-SGA is filled with Mythical info-names from our history.
        So yes the series could go on for years to come.
        Try Doctor Who. If that isn't exploration, I dunno what is.

          I enjoyed the Ori story arc and if the series were to continue after season 10 then it should only have gone long enough to wrap up that arc. They tried to conclude the Ori plotline in Ark of Truth, but I think they crammed too much into a 90ish movie to give it a satisfying ending. I would've given it maybe one more season and that's it.

            Yes the Ori arc was squished into a 90 minute episode where it should of gone over a season.
            Then we could of gone on further to see how the followers would have dealt with their "gods" being killed off as well as some sort of SG1/Atlantis cross over where we go through some sort of conclusion with the PG-Asgard as well as Atlantis getting back to Pegasus.
            Then the whole SG1/SGA helping to find Destiny after its late coming out of its 3 year hybernation...

I'm assuming one could be used to finish up the Ori storyline and one to finish up the Baal clones storyline. They would basically be what we got with Ark of Truth and Continuum, only longer and perhaps with more character development and background story.
              I know you posted this nearly a year ago, but I couldn't let it go without replying.

              MGM did not end SG1. SyFy Channel did. MGM even wanted to shop it to other networks, but SyFy pointed out "We have exclusive rights to the show in the United States. You can film the episodes and show them in other countries, but in the States they have to run on SyFy, and we don't want them. Bye bye."

              That's why what should have been season 11 ended up being two direct-to-DVD movies. It was the only way to get it to the fans.

              Without the U.S. TV audience, the show couldn't go on as a weekly series. MGM had no choice. They COULDN'T do any more SG1. SyFy was calling the shots.

              I'm really surprised you don't know about this, because at the time the fans were livid. (Weren't too happy about SyFy wanting Atlantis to end either.)
