Little programming notes.....

[minigeek]

Hey guys? This is totally unfounded at the moment, but I heard at the studio today from one of the visiting directors that MGM is still shopping SG-1 around for an 11th season - in *addition* to the two movies (obviously it would have to be delayed and happen after the movies are over, but still). He said there's a loophole in some contract which they're trying to extort. He came by to discuss his own production materials and I wasn't even there when he mentioned the SG-1 tidbit - I heard second hand that he'd mentioned it and went to go find him before he left, he told me the same thing (conversationally). I'm inclined to believe he really did get this information reliably, but whether or not MGM succeeds or plans change in future, I don't know. I thought it was worthy of conversation/speculation though. But I didn't want to start a crazy GW fervor by posting to the main boards. Figured the Samanda family would have enough fun with speculation. I wonder what they're planning...

some can be good, but 'stargate the next generation' is something i'll never watch

That's a notion best left to fanfic I think...and only in capable fanfic writers' hands at that. So sorry, Sky, that leaves you out. *ducks*

In all seriousness though, it's rarely done well...but I think Star Trek did a great job with the concept with Worf and his son. But then I think Trek did a better job with character development and relationships than SG one does...so I'd be scared of them doing something to make our favorites look bad.

i can't find the video.

i did find, though, some more wonderful amanda-rick pics.

but i want to see this video! help

Hey Sally,

This is a very confusing website, but I think I've finally found the video. You need to click on the link Kat provided:

http://www.arc2intertainment.com/

Then:

1) click on "arc2TV" on the right and it will take to their video archive site. There will be a brief flash presentation and then a list of "channels" will pop up on the right.

2) click on FMA Vancouver at the top of the list. It will take you to a list of all the FMA videos.

3) click on FMA Vancouver 2006 at the top right.

4) select whether you want to watch the vid in windows media or quicktime and it should start playing.

I haven't been able to watch it since I am on dial-up right now, but I'm sure it's the one Kat was indicating. It seems the address for the video page is the same as the one for the main website. That's probably why the link Kat provided didn't go directly to the video archive but went to the main page instead.

Spoiler:

People will have to depend on spoilers and, if they decide to wait before buying, reviews from others to know how big or small a role their favourite character(s) play.

Well, I'll be watching it the minute it comes out, so I'll be glad to spoil anyone who wants to listen.

the second movie is supposed to be a time travel situation. what about...

Spoiler:

the offspring of our lead heroes?

sam and jack's son/daughter. teal'c's kid ry'ac. throw in a mitchell kid and vala?... i was going to say a vala/daniel kid, but i don't want them to get together because i like daniel enough that i want him with someone better for him.

so the offspring of our heroes, set 20 years in the future where the stargate has been revealed.

thoughts?

O.K., I'm going to take a different route than everyone else has taken. Since it is a time travel movie, why don't we get Moebius Sam and Jack's child and bring that one to the future. Give Sam the lead in the new series and let her deal with this daughter (?) who isn't her daughter exactly. She'd be smart of course, but having been raised by Geeky Carter, she would be very different from Sam. This way the series would be set in the present(ish). Wait, that does sound like a bad fanfic, but hey a real writer might be able to make it
work.

Figures, just when I get used to the idea that it is over then it might not be so over. As long as Amanda signs on, I'm there. If RDA would consent to 7-208 episodes per season then it would be perfect. The time travel episode could set up a wonderful season 11 scenario for us. Trapped in the past, SG1 plus Jack must find a way home without destroying the time line.


Thanks for the link to the blog! Could it be that SciFi realizes they aren't perfect and that fan opinions actually matter???? I loved season 8, so this will be a real treat for me. (Interesting that they chose season 8 reruns over season 9-10 recaps.....)

Argh, the badfic is killing me!

I made some icons with the pics that have been posted recently. The first one was inspired by the lovely icon Eve made.

i like the idea but then

Spoiler:

i still want to see the orginal team, it was all about them so it has to keep about them. i like the idea of offspring but not that it''s only about them, they are then always different then the old team...and there are also always people that don't agree with who with who got kids so... and if it's only with the offspring then we don't get to see sam!!! so in the end i don't want a offspring serie/movie. maybe 5 minutes in the end but that's that, not more

Very nice! Is the second icon from the FMA event?

Yes, it's from this pic that picked up.

Thanks for posting that little bit of info Mini, i find it interesting that MGM are not giving up and to be honest i've wondered about the "S11" slot that's there on their website.
Also Sci-Fi i feel, have been given a kick up the backside with how they've gone about the cancelation of SG1 and the thinking that BSG would draw in lots and lots of fans and this is from a viewer from the UK!
