Well guys, looks like our runs over. Unless Multicannel's pulling our legs on an astronomical scale, it appears Atlantis is going the way of SG-1

‘Stargate Atlantis’ Ending Run On Sci Fi After 5 Seasons
"Space drama Stargate Atlantis will conclude its run on Sci Fi Channel after the current, fifth season ends next January -- but the network has greenlit a two-hour Atlantis movie to run after that and says the show will live on as a network franchise."
“We share in the producers’ enthusiasm to move forward in this direction and we look forward to a strong and continued relationship on Stargate Atlantis in this new format,” Thomas Vitale, Sci Fi Channel senior VP of Programming & Original Movies, also said in the statement.
Wright and Cooper are developing a third TV series in the franchise -- called Stargate Universe – and pitched it to Sci Fi Channel in late 2007, Wright told Gateworld.net in April. Sci Fi said nothing about that potential addition in its statement about Atlantis. Sci Fi has aired had new Stargate series in first run since 2002.

Re: the end of Atlantis.
Yes, it’s true. I’m disappointed but not surprised.
I’ll be commenting on this in tomorrow’s blog entry.
