A friend told me that the show only did as well as SGA was doing in it's l5th season and it's costing a million more for each ep. Well, now we know where our movie money is going!! We are probably going to be stuck with the show for a couple of more seasons.
edit: typo ... 5th season...I wish it was 15 LOL *dreams about 15 seasons of SGA *
I finally bought some SGA books to compliment the wraith fanfiction I read. (I have to satisfy most of my need for a team fix by watching NCIS. I've become quite a fan of the show since SGA ended.)
Thanx it's nice to see you again too

Not a bad achievement with your face covered in latex!

Originally posted by Wraith Cake View PostReally? I didn't realize it cost the studio that much more for such a piece of ###t! Wow, I guess we do know where all our money is going. I have a feeling that shows like BSG and this whatever of the stargate franchise is not really focused on Sci Fi fans. I can't even see them going on the convention circuit. I almost feel like it's a snub to the fans of Sci Fi. Sure we're strange and obsessive, but we're also the ones that have made studios like MGM filthy rich. Shrug, oh well.

I agree with you. I guess everyone has a different idea of how sci fi should be presented - whether its in books, films or TV series - but I've always liked my sci fi not to take itself too seriously. It can still be quite dark but the characters still have an edge of something, humour/irreverence/whatever, in their lives, albeit sometimes only in very small doses, that makes it more real.Last edited by Trillian52; 21 January 2010, 11:25 PM.

There's an interesting discussion about whether SGU is science fiction here.

Originally posted by ciannwn View PostScience fiction is a wide ranging genre. It includes George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty Four' which is about a totalitarian state (no space ships or aliens), books by Robert A Heinlein which focus on relationships (there's lots of romance and sex in 'I Will Fear No Evil' but no space ships or aliens') and all action stuff where the plot is just an excuse for running around with guns, space battles and big explosions.

There are some truly amazing writers out there who take the genre and twist it to something amazing, and they are far too many to name.sigpic

Originally posted by ciannwn View PostI think the same can be said of SGA. How many WDC members would have been SGA fans if it hadn't had the Wraith?

Originally posted by Draco-Stellaris View PostWell, I admit SGA or to be more precise SG-1 as well are truly not the height of sophisticated science-fiction but I think I'd be a fan even without the Wraith just because the episodes are (in most cases) entertaining 40 minutes. And before I fell hopelessly for the Wraith I was adoring McKay (go figure ).Last edited by Trillian52; 22 January 2010, 09:57 AM.
