Pro-Season 11 Thread

Agree completely. And the truth is that it's the part of American audience who killed Stargate SG-1. So they really don't need it.

Um... I'm American, and I watch every show first time round. Don't say I killed it. Stargate could've done better in ratings (although I think the ratings system here really sucks), but it hasn't done badly, for being on cable. On the other hand, Sci-Fi channel could've done a better job of advertising the show, which they've done very little of. I've watched commercials for TV shows that weren't even on the network I was watching at the time, and I don't recall Sci-Fi ever doing that. Not to mention the fact that some fans have stopped watching for various excuses (pickiness in my opinion). 'I' am not one of them though. I've stuck with SG-1 through thick and thin. I'm not one to walk away because I didn't like the direction the show went, or whatever reason. I'm here to stay.

I didn't say that YOU killed it. But part of American audience unfortunately did, you can't deny it.

I agree with many post on that sci-fi tends to appeal to the lowest common
something. It has always seemed to be the horror channel with a little
sci-fi sprinkled in. But one thing cannot be refuted sg-1 made sci-fi what it is.
I came late to the stargate party I was a star trek snob. But I am glad I was able to enjoy the show with it's humor and insights. I believe some of the humor was lost in 9 and early 10 but man they hit the mark with "Pegasus project" . Now is not the time to pull the plug. I have heard lots about declines in ratings and the show being old that is a lot of malarkey. The Simpson's is going on twenty and Cheers took three years to hit it's mark.I feel
that Sci-fi is the face of this fiasco but the "man behind the screen" here is NBC which has a knack for killing good show and diluting great ones. Regardless of the problems Stargate may have right now it is still head and shoulders above almost everything on TV. All the other channels seem to be making forays into the sci-fi field maybe sci-fi channel should take notice .After all sci-fi movies and TV shows have been the most successful
money makers of all time. Sorry for this rambling post my point is don't cancel
sg-1, Atlantis will not survive without it, and BSG will not do as well. Perhaps for the sake of good art and entertainment MGM and Sci-fi should bite the bullet and not worry so much about money. Thanks to all who read and care

Uh, scifi are complete and utter [insert rude word of your choosing], I can't believe that, just because they don't want someone to go and say "woohoo, look at us, we have the 300th episode of SG1!!!!"

Uh this is so unfair.

I say split it between the channels that want it elsewhere in the world, I think I should convince sky one to give them some money *hmmmmmm*

Now there's an idea- what if Sky and CanWest (Global) split it, surely there would be enough $$$ between them to fund the show. CanWest has done Sci-fi in the past (Andromeda, Relic Hunter, Mutant X- I think).....okay, they don't have the best record for funding quality shows, but they can start.....And the Global offshoot station does show Stargate (granted only season six over and over and over.....since that seems to be the only season they bought).

I would have said CHUM (who now aren't really CHUM since BellMedia bought them), who now have the $$$, but aside from the fact that SPACE is a CHUM network, they've never made a Sci-fi show.....all their attention seems to go to Much Music reality crap.....

But I like this partnership idea tommiekins.

As much as I'd love to deny it I cant. This show had a great run but some people cant except change. Oh well the series will end well and then I hope we get a miniseries.

Yes, Season 10 will end well IMO. TPTB would have it no other way. And I really think our chances of at least getting a mini-series out of this are pretty good.

This is one American fan who has stuck by SG-1 for ten years. And I'll be there until the very end, enjoying every single moment of it.

I didn't doubt that for a second, Mitchell.

Fingers crossed! Can't GREEN you at the moment, must spread some around.

Remind me to GREEN you later

Fingers and toes crossed on this end!

I don't even think we have to depend on luck for SG-1 to continue in some way. MGM and TPTB know it is still a popular show. People still love the characters. I have no doubt they'll find some outlet for the storytelling to continue. It may not be 20 hours worth of viewing, but it will be something. And I think it will be great.

If we have anything to worry about it's the suits at Scifi. Hopefully they are not compleatly stupid.

I do too, it'd be great. Unfortunately I don't know anyone that works at Sky One to get a word in and I can't find Sky one ratings anywhere. But ah well, it is very very popular over here, and I read somewhere they offered money to keep angel going but it was rejected, so maybe that money could go for SG1.
