    In S7 Janet died

    Spoiler:
    In S8 Jacob/Selmak died.

    Spoiler:
    In S9 Prommie was put to rest.


    Why am I going over "old news" ?

    I think TPTB are going to have a brand new spanking show after S10 and anything that has to do with the "old Stargate" has to gone.

    My only concern is will there be another obit. in the form of

    ETA: I know that PTB thought there may not be a S8 or a S9 for the first two. And hopefully I wrong for the last one.

      #3 wedding/child birth

        As far as the super special guests, I doubt RDA is the only one they pull out of their... hat.

          I read Jack O'Neill was coming back to tie up loose ends but not to tightly
          Spoiler:
          I don't know if this is just to get the shippers nutz or to say they weren't going to kill him too. They have kill off or promoted out of the series most of my favorites and replaced them with duds.

              No. Or, rather, when I went to the site hosting the eggs, they'd all hatched, but I couldn't get it to show up in my sig here. *grumbles* They have more eggs now and I'd like o adopt some, but not if the code isn't going to work. Makes me feel like a bad mother when it doesn't hatch.

              Regarding guest stars...
              Spoiler:
              Do we know who's playing Adria? Or how much she's gonna be in the show? Because I'm thinking the woman who played Seven of Nine would be one way to try and draw in the ratings, especially since TPTB seem so enamoured of Trek cast-offs.

              Or how about Virginia Hey? I can think of many good reasons why not to use her, but it'd be another Farscape person, and Farscape = ratings, right?

                Ha! Good one. Yes, when an actor voluntarily wants to leave, they kill him/her off now for ratings. If the producers just want ratings, they bump off someone too. Actually, I think more people die on SG1 nowadays than on the Sopranos!!

                But bringing in certain name actors, or favorite characters who have left, is a ratnigs ploy, which is the name of the game. They want to make money. That's why they make the show. Appeasing the rest of us is secondary.

                  Talking about killing main characters, I have a question. What the heck happened to Major Davis, I don't think we have seen him in S9.

                    She didn't help Boston Public on Fox that much.

                      Your point being...?

                      Besides, that's normal TV. Scifi people won't help normal TV because the geekiest of the geeks don't watch normal TV. But if they know "that hottie from Trek" is gonna be on some other show featuring skimpy outfits and sexy aliens, they'll tune in.

                      A bit condescending and a massive generalization, but I think that's that's probably the consensus of opinion, from the Suits perspective if nothing else.

                        I don't think many people liked her. At least almost all the Trekkies I know hated her character, and what she brought to the franchise. I know I did.

                          Never fear. Jeri Ryan has been cast in CBS' drama pilot "Shark." "Shark," from 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV, centers on a celebrity attorney-turned-prosecutor (James Woods). Ryan will portray Jessica, a district attorney and Woods' new boss.

                            Was Jeri Ryan young enough? TV Guide said they were looking for someone in her early- to mid-20s...

                            Hooray for the Teeny!Bopper demographic - or, at least, the ones they're targeting, at any rate. I'm evidently not one of them.

                              Nope, she's 38. Here's something I've never seen on imdb, her bust size.
                              And no as a woman I'm not going to put it here.
