One of the great things i really enjoyed about SG1 were the outdoor action sequences & explorations. There isn't really much of that anymore on SGA. Found the following which probably explains why, probably also expenses.
Does anyone else share the same thoughts? I miss the "new exploration feel" which doesn't exist enough in SGA.
I can't believe its all mostly been consumed by development!

"During a press event at Bridge Studios in May, Wright joked that another problem producing film and television in Vancouver is that “we’re running out of trees to run through.... We used to have these cool locations that have been eaten up by condo developments and townhouses.” Fifteen years ago, Vancouver-lensed shows like Stargate SG-1 and The X-Files would shoot eighty percent on location and twenty percent in studio. Those numbers have since swapped.
On Stargate: The Ark of Truth, a direct-to-DVD film directed by Wright’s partner Robert Cooper and released earlier this year, a large village set on a sound stage was used for the opening sequence. In the early days of the show, the production would have built the set in Maple Ridge. “It was easy. You could point the camera in three directions and not see anything,” Wright said on the phone."
