As part of an in-depth interview with TV Guide magazine, Stargate SG-1 exec producer Brad Wright reveals that while Sci Fi Channel may have announced the series' end after its 10th season wraps up, the show might go on. Promising "a very satisfying end to the season," Wright tells us that the finale is "not necessarily an end to SG-1 by any means." While Wright's ideal is to take SG-1 back to the big screen, a string of TV-movies — and/or a new spin-off series — might be a more likely outcome. "From MGM's perspective, we don't view SG-1 as a television series, we view it as a franchise, and one with a lot of vibrant life," says studio spokesman Jeff Pryor. "There's absolutely no reason in the world there couldn't be and won't be another series that takes part in the Stargate universe." Noting that even Sci Fi was pleasantly impressed by SG-1's longevity — the expectation at one time was to usher it off the air soon after Stargate Atlantis' debut — original programming exec Mark Stern says, "We love this franchise, and if there are other ways to explore this world, we're certainly open to it. This is not the end of our journey with Stargate by any means."

- Satisfying end to the 10th and final season
- SG-1 might produce TV movies, etc...
- New spinoff is likely

So there we have it! The end of the drama!
Now let's all wait and see what the Stargate universe has in store for us next!

I doubt that they are going to read all the angry email sent to them, but unsubscribing like that may help them get the message.
I havent read every post (its going to fast and I cant keep up) so this may have already been posted.
Just a thought
I do have a question though. Who owns SGA? Is it MGM?
Oh and I hope that SciFi falls on its bum -- hard. I know I only watched it for SG and SGA
I really like this idea. However, one could take it a step further by unsub to scifi mag. I know if I had it I would end my sub.
This thread while confusing gives me comfort that so many fans are discussing and are positively speaking out about this issue.

I'm saddened that we won't see SG-1 on another network, but I'm glad that so many (the producers, and MGM) are standing behind the Stargate series and willing to try TV movies, miniseries or a new series. I personally like that last one.

I hope they try and go for a season 11 first, and then use those other options as a fall back plan. Hopefully the fans reactions might sway their opinions, and those of the networks too...Science Fiction is an existential metaphor; it allows us to tell stories about the human condition.
Isaac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

This is something I agree with you full heartly on. However, after thinking about this question for a bit, and discussing possible options with other fans I think that a mini series is probably the best bet to end the show.
As I have said in many of my posts.....RESPECT is essential.
