    speaking as a mod at the moment....this is a prime example of how things get out of control

    I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but it seems if most of the fans on this forum think the show is already dead.

    I know the comment was innocently meant. However, it is just the kind of comment that fires people up and gets them all ready to say 'how dare you say most? i'm not most, and i'm gonna go find 19 of my friends to prove it to you'

    When folks post, they do need to be careful to only speak for themselves. You, the general you, can't know how others think, not unless you've developed psychic powers. You can post your observations and say 'you know, i'm seeing more and more negative posts', but it's a dangerous thing to say that you know how others are thinking.

      Let's make a poll to see if this is the case. I doubt it.

          it's not the case.

          that bolded part was something that someone else posted. I was merely using it as an example of the kind of comments that get people riled up and start bicker matches.

          One person, no matter how innocently, speaking for others.

          the 'others' don't cotton well to being spoken for, they express themselves, usually in a confrontational manner, and a thread descends into nastiness...all out of one comment.

          At the end of the day, each of us can only speak for ourselves. we can't know what everyone else thinks or feels

            Elbo - skydiver used this statement (I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but it seems if most of the fans on this forum think the show is already dead) as a quote from someone else. She was using it as an example of a statement that could potentially fire some people up.

            I don't really think a poll is necessary. I think it would just divide things even further.

            I think most everyone who posts in this thread would agree that not everyone who posts here thinks the show is dead already. I don't see how a poll would help.

            And, if I misinterpreted what you meant, my apologies.

                    I visited diverse threads the last days and I detect a general feeling of pessimism, even in the PROs. I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but it seems if most of the fans on this forum think the show is already dead.
                    As one of the Pros, i've been exceptionally squeeish for the majority of spoilers. There are some, however that just make me go... ok i'll wait and see how things pan out. I can't speak for anyone else, but personally speaking as a pro, I have had concerns from the very start about aspects of the show. It's changing/changed and that's something that's always concerned me, how much things has changed and how the new season 'feels' for me is a big factor, and I've personally always wanted Atlantis to be cut off from earth and having to rely on it's own resources, skills and wit's. That hasn't changed for me, and I doubt it ever will to be honest. So I have to live with that.

                    My concerns were always involving the SG1 cast coming over, and i've always wanted it to be minimal, and i've said from the start SGA needs to be able to stand on it's own two feet as much as possible, but crossovers are happening, possibley due to a sense of loyalty to the cast, and I can understand that. Ultimately though, there's nothing I can do. I can complain and whinge all the time about it, but it will get me nowhere, so I'll enjoy the show and hope it goes from strength to strengh and i've seen that so far in S4.

                    But i'm a glass is full kinda girl until i'm proved wrong, anything I don't like i'll bury my head in the sand and pretend I didn't read about it until the episode airs. After watching three eps so far, I haven't seen anything within the team dynamic to make me think my judgement is off, but i've no problem saying I don't like something, or stating if something was wrong/felt off in an ep. I rarely think that anyone is 100% pro all the time for every ep, from what i've seen, and that's not a new thing, that's been there for a long time. However there are still a lot of fans from looking at the threads that enjoy the show, and want it to go beyond S4, because the team dynamic and stories are good from my point of view... but this is where I become too OT and start squeeing, soooo.

                    And the reason I don't share my concerns with you in here, is because I feel I would not be welcomed, and would be treated as a troll. *shrugs*

                    So running off now.

                      Hey mcbarr..i just wanted to apologise about yesterday's fiasco. I was emotionally distraught and there was no way that i could take a joke at that time. I'm sorry if it got carried away. That was my bad.

                        For the record, the post from me wasn't 'fired up', and i'm content/willful/opinionated enough to speak for myself without the need to enlist friends... just for the record.

                          No problem. We all have bad days. Song added.

                            Maybe the next CD can be the "stinky sock remix" ?
