deja vu?

[unluckynumber11]

back in sg-1's 5th season, a lot of people thought that the season final would be the series final, just like with atlantis right now.

awesome

does that mean we are gonna get 5 more seasons of Atlantis? Get up to s10, get cancelled and then get 2+ DVD movies out of it?

[whiteout49]

Well technically sg-1 did get cancelled but it just got picked up on another network

Yeah, but Showtime was cool about letting another network carry on. Skiffy though, if it's cancelled then it's dead.

SG1 could have wrapped up everything by the end of season 7 (pending some tweaking) which was actually something that was gonna happen.

I see SGA going 7 seasons also, they ain't done yet and they need more time to wrap up the overall story so I personally don't see SGA gettin scraped after this season. If it does get canceled prematurely though, hopefully another network will pick it up before its finally dead. Did Showtime fail to do that with SG1?

God bless the people who decided to keep SG1 going for 10 years though!

That would be cool.

the fact that Sci-Fi is run by a bunch of *incredibly long string of explitives and childing name calling*

sorry but anyways

the only way they can continue atlantis is to bring out some new badguys who are actualy a threat but not so big of a threat that we are left wondering

"well why dont they just storm atlantis and wipe it off the map?"

in sg-1 the goa'uld couldnt bring themselves to work together to do it or couldnt afford to send the troops without exposing themselves to other goa'uld
the replicators were kept busy by the asgard
the ori didnt have there full force in the milky way and didnt want to risk the wrath of the ancient chair just yet.

right now with atlantis they are the big fish and with no threat to them it gets kinda boring.... but you cant throw a shark into the water without unbalancing it all

yea there complete *%^&$*$*%&

[Gate Traveller]

u can't blame them for wanting to keep the franchise for themselves but yeah it really sucks that that they aren't willing to share

yea but yet they dont want to commit to continuing the show

it just proves that Sci-Fi (and other stations) dont give 2 rats A's about its viewers

the lack of loyalty shown to customers is going to come back and bite companies in the butts eventualy.

Dude. I tweaked your spelling and punctuation. Hope you don't mind. I couldn't help myself.
Anyway, back to the point, as I recall, Scifi only retained the rights to SG-1 for 5 years after cancellation. Am I wrong? Not that it makes any real difference, because after five years, one hopes that the actors have all found wonderful new work. Otherwise, their families will be going mighty hungry. Nonetheless, there is a point past which the selfish can no longer control a show.
