Well put Sci.

Couldn't agree with this more.

Here here Nina! I for one am definitely NOT tuning into SGU!

Just thought I'd share with you all, the comment that I've left on JM's Blog:

.."I have to say that yes, I never expected that Atlantis would go on as long as the incredible 10 years SG-1 had and I’m also pleased that at least we’ll get a resolution of sorts in episode 100. And whilst I’m also equally relieved to hear that the characters will carry on in at least one movie, with the possiblity of more, I have to admit that I’m completely devasted by the news of the show’s cancellation.

I genuinely, honestly thought that the show had a couple of good seasons of stories left in it to tell and I can’t help but be angry at the thought that SGU might have played a significant role in Atlantis’ demise/radical change. Personally I’d rather have 2 more great seasons of Atlantis before bidding it farewell, than a new Stargate show any day.

I feel like someone has snuck up and pulled the rug out from under me, leaving me feeling hurt and bruised..."

Very well said Cherish....

You know i've never seen so many pissed of fans before....And i've neber seen GW so active like it has been the last couple of days!!!

WHAT?? What is going on?? Is this true? No more SGA!!!

I am completely shocked and heartbroken. I can't imagine how our SGA cast can be feeling?

This is so sad. I need a moment to put my thoughts together.

But I'm definitely gonna start stocking up on the books, I need something to do on Fridays now... *sigh*

Oh I will keep on supporting SGA and buy the merchandise with Atlantis...I got the DVDs ,,and I'll buy the movies when they come out... I got all of the books...I got the seasons companions... and as long as there is Atlantis stuff I will have it...SGU ..well that can go and blow itself somewhere else..not buying anything of that..and wont support it either..I'm not supporting anything that has been in the favour of sacrificing the one show that should have gone on...

There's more info on Universe on the front page! They basically say that they don't care about the existing fans they want new ones. At that all TV show have a lifespan! That's the problem ATLANTIS' HAS BEEN CUT OFF EARLY!

They said they want to try to appeal to an even broader fan base and pick up some younger fans too. (Stargate is most popular with the "middle age" fanbase at the moment). They did not say they want to ditch the current fanbase.

I for one will give SGU a chance. If I don't like the characters, I won't continue to watch it. If I like them, I will. It's as simple as that.

They deny SGA was cancelled for SGU. It may or may not be true. Who knows. But even if true, it would be only a tiny fraction of all the reasons for the cancellation. Yes, it totally sucks. I remember people saying this same type of thing five years ago when SGA first came out. A lot of SG1 fans were furious at the idea and some even to this day have not given SGA a chance and consider it an annoying step child at best. They at least weren't even cancelled at the same time like we're seeing now with SGA.

At this point, I'm grateful for the movies at least. One two hour movie once a year for a few years is nothing compared to 20 hours of new episodes a year of course, but it's more than most cancelled shows get.

I'll take it.

And yes, to Mrs. B's question, YES.

Well It's a bit of a coincidence that the day after announcing SGA Is cancelled they turn around and say SGU has the green light.....So what are we expected to believe...That It was mere coincidence...Aye right....They must think we're really that stupid to not be able to put two and two together....

As for SG-1..Well I was a fan from the very beginning and I was sad to see it go but I wasn't really happy with S9 and 10 and I knew It was time for It to end....It had a good run but It didn't get dumped or cut down in it's prime like Atlantis did.....

So they want to keep their current fanbase huh...Well they've got a funny way of showing it....The way they've went about this is gonna lose them a heck of alot of fans and i'll be one of them so they better hope and pray they get new fans or else they've be in big trouble...

I've been a fan since the original movie came out and although I will always and forever support SG-1 and Atlantis whatever form we get them in I will never support SGU....I have lost all respect for those involved in screwing us over like this like we didn't exist!

**NinaM** · 22 August 2008, 12:09 PM

I do hope we as a JT family will stay in touch..and still come here and be able to chat about our favorite couple and the movies that will be...

Welll I guess that was the biggest fatest confirmation on WHY SGA was canceled...to make way to the boring Stargate Universe...a show that is ship based flying around the galaxy to place out stargate in orbit or whatever...oh how fun that sounds like...*NOT* I've seen Star Trek thank you very much and those shows is not in my taste... Battlestar Gallactica a most shipbased show I think,,hate that one.. so all I say to the third show is *SNORE*

They can say whatever they want...if you cancel a very well loved show.. and then the next day you get a slap in the face with the news that the new show has been given green light...then they can say whatever they want until they are blue in the face.. but if you keep telling how hard it is to have to shows at the same time..how much work it needs to be into it..how much it costs and yada yada... then I see only one thing..SGA was sacrificed for the new show which from the sounds of it are going to be a really expensive show.. if they are talking about it gets more worse when the costs goes up and all that...yeah good luck with a show that seems then to be even more expensive then the shows has been before since the start...I guess it's because they will need more FX.. because of being in space all the time.. and might end up in my space battles then Atlantis for example.. well then I really don't see this show going far... so thanks for that slap in the face...

Even so...I have to say... that no matter how pissed we are at the moment of how stupid the dollar eyes are at companies..that always only care for the money... that green colored shaped smelly piece of paper *lol* I have to say this... that no matter how angry we are right now...how pissed at the poeple we are... we can't let Atlantis take the hit for that... what I mean is...we have to keep showing them our support.. buying Atlantis stuff...keep buying the DVD's ,,,making sure to by the movies... and to support the movies when they air on TV...because let's face it... if we don't we are the ones that in the end will ultimately break Atlantis... then we will be the cause for it not being more then that one movie...since that was what JM hinted at... that this is HOW Atlantis will be in the future...it will be kept going in movie format... to maybe be able to put out 1 movie a year or something... but if we don't support Atlantis we wont even be getting that.. since after this season is ending let's face it...the money talk will be even more forced... if the money doesn't come in they I'm sure wont hesitate to sink Atlantis all together...and if we truly love the show, love the actors, love the characters then we have to stay loyal to them... screw Universe...I'm not saying to support that..but to support the one show we have come to love so much and the one that is now being sacrificed...

I was going to say something yesterday,,,I had it all written and then my comp went into some damn updating and shut down and started over and I lost it all...but in short..hrmm not that I seem to be able to keep it short *lol*
Would I have loved the show to go on...of course I would have...
getting movies each year perhaps.. in opposite of not getting any Atlantis at all... well for me..no matter how mad I am at the moment, how sad I am ,, I then rather take the movies in opposite of never having anything new with Atlantis ever again...

The question for me will be if I'm going to be able to keep up my insperation for making more JT and John videos...hopefully I will...I will have 5 seasons worth of material.. and hopefully several of movies to come to get new material to work with...

I've read several of the Shep whumpers that still will be coming here to keep in touch with our Stargate family...and I truly truly hope I wont lose contact with my JT family either... I would hate for our friendship to come to and end because the show is coming to an end as a TV series... hopefully there still will be a long line of movies for us to talk about... and hopefully we will get something when it comes to JT... I'm still coming back to the comic con question and answer... JM and I'm sure the most of them might have had a feeling this was going to happen.. and maybe they are willing to take a chance..
JT isn't JS ... they have never had the things standing in their way as J/S had... I just hope they don't chicken out of it.. S&R had to have been there for a reason... it has to be a reason behind what is going on at the moment,,,and there must be some kind of reason behind what was being told and hinted at over at comic con...

For me my love for JT will still be there...this is the couple I've seen so much chemistry between and I can't just stop seeing it or stop loving them...

Oh..well said Nina, well said!!!
I support you and will be doing just the same as you guys. I will watch the rest of our beloved SGA and hope for more JT and keep coming here to chat with all my friends. We are too close to just up and leave because our show has come to an end. I see us all as so much more and you all were completely my help and support when my world came crashing around me. I truly love you guys and it would be hard to just let our friendship end. I would be truly devastated if that happened.

hope you guys feel the same.

Now on to the Shrine where I can fall over myself over Rodney

Thanks for saying that Nina!

I have to admit, I am on the verging of taking a long break again. NOT because of the news or because I believe J/T are over, quite the opposite! But because I obviously am in the minority here and am personally tired of all the doom and gloom attitude about J/T over the past few months. People are of course entitled to their opinions and their rants and I don't mean to sound like I'm criticizing that. But for me personally, I don't agree, and I'm tired of hearing it. Real life is extremely busy and stressful for me. I get bombarded with complaints and rants at work all day long, everyday. I cannot handle it in my off time too. I'm sorry.

MrsB:

I'm not too sure. As much as I would love to say yes, tptb having given us much to hope for.

I agree that I would love more confirmation.

You didn't answer my question.

For you bday, Fluff or Angst/Whump fic.

So far I have Angst/Whump, but I can change if you want something else.

Miss ya.
