SyFy: 'Stargate: Atlantis' Canceled, Will Gate Into Movies

Thanks for the link to that.

[Prometheus 1]

you've got to be f**king kidding me. this season has doubled viewers. MGM SUCKS MY BALLS. I'm not watching Universe or anything else you have to offer. This is complete bull ****.

Wait?

So this is our reward for making Continuum and Ark of Truth successful DVDs??? They cancel our show???? Someone explain this logic to me????

[Briangate78]

This sucks because will a save campaign even work? Once the production company pulls the plug that is it. If it was the network they could of shopped it around or fought.

This blows.

It's all about the new baby, Stargate Universe.

It's been decided that it's going to be a massive success because the premise is just so mind-blowingly awesome and orginal that it can't fail.

exactly it makes no sense. SG1 runs nice and long we make both movies huge successes and double atlantis's viewers and heres your reward... you ready?

We're canceling atlantis? aren't you happy? Its all good

so basically the article is saying oh yea its attracted a lot more viewers....but we're still cancelling it. makes a lot of sense

So if this does backfire on them, it will be big. I really hope that doesn't happen. I want the Stargate franchise to continue on.

[PG15]

They'll just blame it on SCI FI which is false. Yes, I am defending SCI FI because MGM made it clear that they wanted more DVD movies and SGU.

I don't think you understand, Brian. I LIVE in Vancouver; I can get the news out to the people at the con tomorrow and tell them exactly what's happening. Hell, I'll get a megaphone if I have to.

Just walk into the place, turn the megaphone on, and tell them everything. Hmmm...I wonder if I can actually do this.

[markaudette]

Sooooo..., what I'm getting here with the cancellation of Atlantis is that Stargate: Universe must be the second coming of Christ if they're shutting down Atlantis.

[Pandora's_Box]

Because MGM is runned by <mod snip>

Agreed. I think I'll go green everyone on this thread now. Some good may as well come out if this nonsense.

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! MoFoS! Why can't they let one of the series know that they're going to end before just telling it to the news! Horrible! Stupid MGM.

FRAK Indeed.

Forget spamming, we need to beam multiple Mark IXs to their location.
