MGM is just the parent company--the ones who matter and who might take offense are the creators, and I don't think they're interested in really being a part of the tie-ins.Originally posted by Southern Red View Post
For MGM the bottom line is sales and money and the more talk something gets, the more money it'll make. They don't really have to care much more about it. On rare occasions you'll get a parent company that has a personal stake in something (like ABC and how much the execs over there cared about LOST) but for the most part it's not their business to make sure merchandise makes everyone happy. While a huge outcry all on the same side might make a company sit up and pay attention, I don't think there's enough protest against any of the tie-ins to budge MGM away from the bottom line.
Yeah, even straight up continuations are rarely followed with the same vigor as the TV show. Didn't Buffy have an entire officially sanctioned season in comic books that's supposed to be canon?Originally posted by gateraid View PostThat about sums it up for me. It might've developed more than that, but TPTW never pursued it. Was that due to the actress not being available (presumably that's why what's her face was there in The Lost Tribe) or just that they kinda forgot about it?
Especially considering she would've had plenty of good scenes with Teyla in the eps following, especiallywith the loss of the Athosians, as well as her uncertainty about going back to work.
No, they didn't. *%@$!@^&$* indeed.
They considered it boring because they didn't need to do any CGI. Hot Zone, ToR, TS/TE anyone?
That's true. I know the comics and novels are popular, but not everyone reads them. And given that they never reference them on the show (they might, I wouldn't realise if they did), I've always thought of them as an AU. Which is why I don't really care about them - if it didn't happen on-screen (or at least be referenced), then it didn't really happen (for me).
True again. And there are ways of putting people in jeoprady without actually killing them too.
It might've altered somewhat if they'd actually gotten together, who knows?
I don't really count her as such. Sure, Ford, or even Lorne were, because you could slot another member of the military into their role pretty much straight away. But the same can't be said for Kate. And having her die in a dream was just lame, no matter how you look at it.
Only when it suits them, it seems
The only thing I can think of that's truly a continuation in another medium that worked was Firefly's follow up movie, Serenity. And maybe the X-Files movies, though I've still not seen the second film and I used to be a die-hard X-Phile.Visit SGArising.com to read our virtual continuation of the Atlantis series!Comment

Ladies and gentlemen, after a brief jaunt over to Propworx's office in Santa Ana, I am pleased to report that THE SPARKY MINT JAR has been officially secured at it's permanent home at Fort Kitty. Photos will be forthcoming in a couple of hours.

And just to build on what Eri said about MGM really only being interested in making money, that no doubt is what prompted MGM Consumer Products (aka the merchandising division) to give the okay to the novels even though the studio already had a finished script for a post-series movie that would be covering the same basic storyline (getting Atlantis back to the Pegasus Galaxy and what comes after). They wanted to strike while the iron was still hot and squeeze whatever money they could out of us, and they didn't care that there was going to be two competing and contradictory versions of the 'Atlantis returning to Pegasus' story to confuse fans. Pretty sloppy, in my opinion.Originally posted by Southern Red View Post
Not sure, actually.Originally posted by gateraid View Post
Indeed. Some of their best episodes were very light on the expensive effects.Originally posted by gateraid View Post
No, they've never referenced the novels or comics on the show. In fact, various TPTW have repeatedly stated that the novels aren't canon, and presumably the comics aren't really, either.Originally posted by gateraid View Post
Exactly.Originally posted by gateraid View Post

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.Comment

*sigh*
I miss it here.
Working on fics when I get the time, but between two jobs (47 hours this week, hooray! *sarcasm*), taking care of stuff at home, and ... oh, breathing ... I can't catch a break!
Hope you had fun at con, SK, can't wait to see pics of JAR!!!
Anuna, loved the snip from Box of Dreams!
And -- oh hey, what do you know? Back to work. Again.
Have a good night!Comment

I don't think Larrin was the only one. What about Chaya? And maybe he didn't pursue Teer, but wasn't she the only one he ended up having an actual relationship with?Originally posted by Southern Red View Post"First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"
*You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!*
"Arise, Woolseyus Prime."
"Elizabeth..."Comment

Oh yeah. I conveniently forgot about them.Originally posted by Infinite-Possibilities View Post But since they didn't last beyond one ep, they don't really count. Technically, though you could say Teer pursued him until he let himself be caught. And Chaya just vamped him. Larrin, on the other hand, was smart enough not to let him know she was interested. I think he likes the suspense and the thrill of the chase.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's new artwork time! Remember my Sparky kids time travel story, Isn't Supposed to Be? Well, recently the muse for that story has decided to make a small come-back after being absent since March. *kicks muse* I actually managed to write a bit on it the other day, which felt awesome. Anywho... pointless ramblings aside...
I drew/created a poster/cover/what have you for the story, featuring Connor and Emily drawn by me and John and Liz inserted with the magic that is Photoshop. This was basically all I did last Saturday.
Spoiler:
So whatcha guys think?
