Oooh... that was so sad and quite upsetting. Chris' comments and Claudia's comments were so sweet though. It's great to know that they really do appreciate us fans... not many "stars" are like that.

damn cheap ass aussies... lol. I should be offended, but I'm not.
hey, we could just get another all-aussie SG team and have half focus on them and half on SG1, if it's about cast costs, that would cut some down...
really though, we are all just speculating, will have to wait and see what the high ups decide, switch channels, producers, funding cut backs or just a complete death... hope not though...Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

This isn't what MGM has said they want.
This is what SciFi has said THEY want, for MGM to do the show on the cheap so they (SciFi) won't have to pay MGM so much in production money.
WHERE are you getting this from?
MGM hasn't said they want to change the cast, etc.
They've said they want to go on with SG-1.
Shame on you for spreading misinformation.
I stand by what I said. I'm not spreading misinformation but posting what I seen through decades of watching TV, watching shows killed for lesser reasons than cost, etc. MGM wants the Stargate franchise to continue. They want what Paramount had with Trek. To take the SAME cast and just rename the show Stargate Command would no doubt be pretty stupid as you'd be working with the same high costs, plus I'm sure the lawyers as SCifi might see that as breach of contract.
Spinoffs for franchises are 99% new cast. They may bring in a guest star for the pilot (such as they had RDA and MS in the pilot for Atlantis) but otherwise, the spinoffs are done with a new cast, a different idea. Part of the reason for that is to create a NEW show. Otherwise people will tune in and go "oh, been there, seen that" and will change the channel.
The actors are thrileld to have had such a long-running show, but also know how the business operates. Here today, gone tomorrow, and they have had a decade. The only people who work on a show for 15, 20+ years are a few actors in soap operas. You don't seem that in primetime TV. (Well, the last long-running series was Gunsmoke, but most people on this list weren't even alive when it aired.)
I foresee the possibility of SG1 movies - which I'd much prefer, preferably straight to DVD! - but I don't envision a season 11. Too costly and with networks cutting costs left and right (and even studios cutting loose top actors), continuing production of an aging show with a core audience that isn't growing but is in fact declining, isn't a realistic business decision.

After seeing this wonderfull video, it obvious the cast want to continue making Stargate;
MGM - want to carry on making Stargate,
- Brad and Rob - and the writers want to carry on making Stargate,
But Sci-Fi - don't want to!! and wont let them!!
ARGHHH!!! I just dont understand!! Sci-Fi - let them continue you selfish, selfish - screwed up people!!!
the question is how to get that kind of money, and how they would get that money back into their budget. most of the time that would happen through a cast member getting cut from the show prematurely or... a cast member taking a break from the show till that money is made back, then rejoining

Originally posted by The.Prior.of.The.Orithose are my exact thoughts, if space could air in the USA then we in the u.s. still get sg-1, and at the same time, give sci fi a big smack in the face

Originally posted by Trek_Girl42That wouldn't make a bit of difference- SPACE would still be subjected to the same restrictions of not being allowed to air any new eps in the U.S.. And that's all aside from the probable restrictions that would keep SPACE from airing down there as Sci-fi is up here, I suspect that it might be illigal for service providers to offer the channel (that's the rule up here against Sci-fi). As it stands the only way American viewers could get a new season of SG-1 would be through an online download system. Hopefully MGM have their lawyers hard at work, sorting through this mess.

Originally posted by HorsieIf Space or BBC take up the show, the US will still get in through syndication, probably on UPN. SciFi's contract with MGM does not effect them. It only effects what channel can air episodes beyond season 10. The US will have to wait almost 2 years to get the latest eps, but we would get the DVD's before that. Besides, I would be perfectly willing to buy all the eps through iTunes. I doubt they would be effected by Space or BBC taking the show either, which means we would still be able to get the eps within a few days of it's airing . . . for a price.

See, I would never pay to watch a tv show first run, it would just get too expensive, if it was an online thing that would have to be paid for, I'd be waiting for the DVD's. Still that would be better then nothing.
