I am such a lemming-sitting here on the fence cawing about a show that frankly, I don't really care enough to watch but sadly, care enough.sigpicMy Stories zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Artwork by Mala

Originally posted by Hubble View PostOf course, depending on one's mindset, that could be interpreted to mean people were watching in droves to soak up every last bit of RDA's presence because they knew soon they wouldn't get to see him at all when he left; hence the lower ratings in S9 and 10. Statistics are so fun to twist around.

^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

My problem is that I keep thinking I can wait out these problems, that if I just watch long enough, they'll figure it out and start showing the good stuff again. It's irrational, I know, but hope springs eternal, blah, blah, blah.
Let's face it, most of us haven't totally given up yet. We're all still here bemoaning what could have been. Because when Stargate is good, it's absolutely stellar.
I should rewrite that, huh? Because when Stargate was good...sigpic

But, that will never come to pass. Instead we got Copper and the boys trying to hard sell everything about thier new vision of the Stagate Universe. Matter of fact; it seems to me that it's such a hard sell--that the next series will be all about the Stargate Universe.
Denial is very powerful. Makes me just sit through some of the worst programming just to catch a glimps at the old team. I guess I need to start a 12 step program.Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.

Originally posted by petemoretti View PostS BTW I predict that by "Unending" there'll be at least an episode with a 0.8 rating - I mean come on "LITS" got 1.1 and from what people post was a GREAT Carter whump episode(compared to the rest of the crappy new show of S9&10),

Originally posted by Jackie View PostOh, but they didn't BURN the history books. They had Mitchell read the all reports--so, just like Rodney, he knows everything!
Is it just me or does he come off as (a) stalkerish because of the whole memorizing all SG-1 mission reports and obsessing over getting the band back together thing, (b) childish and brattish for his infantile refusal to accept that the members of SG-1 had moved on and (c) idiotic for his insistence on telling the people who experienced the missions firsthand what happened?
Originally posted by Jackie View PostAnd--in Cooper's world--Sam wasn't demoted. She was ASKED to come back to SG-1 because Mitchell begged her like a total retard. Then they showed Landry on the end or the phone--talking to an imaginary Jack O'Neill--then implied that Jack sent her back because of the Ori.
Looks like a demotion to me.
Originally posted by Jackie View PostIn the real stagate canon, Jack would have never have sent her there without a promotion and he would have questioned Landry's leadership ability. He would have been taking over the SGC himself and asking Hammond to come back to help.
Mitchell would have been demoted faster than a jack rabbit on hot pavement in the middle of summer--in the middle of the desert. Vala would have been facing actual jail time. Daniel would have been set straight and told to grow up. Teal'c would have had something more improtant to do.
Sam seems to have had the same position at Area 51 as (full) Colonel Maybourne had, so you're right about a promotion. However, without incorporating my own fanfic-based explanation, I cannot come up with a plausible reason why Sam would ever give up SG-1 in the first place and, even if she did, why she would leave a week before the new guy was due to show up instead of sticking around, helping choose the new team and taking them all out on at least a few missions to help train them and to quietly evaluate whether or not Mitchell was suitable for command.

Originally posted by Skydiver View Postwell, stargate command wasn't made for me
it's being made for the teen/young male viewer who thinks that the world and show revolves around boobs, butts and bombs
too bad there aren't as many of those out there as tptb think there are, or the show would be doing a hell of a lot better in the ratings and wouldn't have been canned
How much disposable income do they tend to have?
How many other shows are trying to woo them?
Seems to me that they're a terrible choice of demographic to rely on.

I mean why did they have to kill Jacob if they didn't resolve the ship ??? Have Sam marry Pete => Jack kills himself (not like they had any real plans with RDA/Jack - I mean come on Jack taking a deskjob in Washington ???), Jacob takes command of the SGC (I'm pretty sure CA is cheaper and more appealing to SG-1 fans than Beau Bridges)
LE: And they would have still had the father/daughter relationship at the SGC just like Landry/Lam
We most definitely would not have had a father/daughter relationship like Lam and Landry's.
