These people use to post regularly, at least, once a day or week...now if we see them once a month or year, we're lucky: Hope, MrsB, Linda, Mayra, Cabouse, Devine, elephantgirl, girlinabox, Padme, WingedPegasus, Snowball, TeylaFan. That doesn't count the older people like Cyn, Nick, Steph...
You remember when birthday alerts were going off six to ten times a month. Now we're lucky if there are three--look at this month--there is one. And a lot of times, the person doesn't post here, in this thread, regularly.
I understand that there are the hard core fans that will want the movie. But, really, it's not those that are going to make the sales. Look at movies that have hard core fandoms based in TV and look out the sales translate (ST:TNG and The X-Files instantly come to mind. And no, I'm not talking ST with the new shiny set and pretty cast)...it wasn't profitible for the studios to put out more movies because the masses don't care.
If SGU does well, I don't see the studio "looking backwards"--especially if SGU ratings blow SGA's ratings out of the water. (But they won't be getting any ratings on SGU from me)
