To repeat what I said in another thread (I could have paraphrased the whole thing, but I'm just going to repeat it. Forgive me for that. The tow truck guy is here to take my car to the garage for very expensive repairs, and it's rather long):
I wouldn't think of boycotting Scifi, although it's a moot point, since I live in Canada. I suppose I could boycott Space, which is our Scifi channel, so that they wouldn't give any money to Scifi, but I wouldn't.
I want Stargate Universe to succeed. I don't want the Stargate franchise to end.
I want Sanctuary to succeed. I want Amanda Tapping to do well.
And I love Eureka (boy, this week's episode was great!), another fine Canadian production.
To do otherwise would guarantee that I have nothing to watch on television. It would also mean I wanted a huge number of actors and film crews in Vancouver to be out of work. That's not what I want at all.
If I'd boycotted Scifi after the cancellation of SG-1, which was much more dear to my heart, it would have meant boycotting Stargate Atlantis. Would that have been a good idea? Most of the folks arguing for a boycott now wouldn't think so...

I like Atlantis alot and I think the 4th season, and the 5th so far, were fine, but Atlantis is over I'm not going to boycott Universe. The best you could do by boycotting it is getting it cancelled after one season and ending the franchise for good.
10 consecutive seasons for SG-1 is the most ever for a sci-fi show, and 5 certainly isn't bad either. I'm hoping for a good finale (I'm sure it will trump Unending) and a great two hour movie, and hopefully more movies to come."Yo, Adrian!" -Rocky in Rocky

placing the record aside, if skiffy didn't pick up sg-1 and just started sga they would averaged nearly the same.
in reality we had:
sg-1...8 seasons
sgc....2 seasons
sga....5 seasons
SGU...?????
To be honest, unless sgu is better than it sounds I won't expect 2.5 seasons from it.Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.

Originally posted by Jackie View Postsg-1 was initially canceled after season 6 by showtime. Skiffy then picked it up for 4 more seasons. Out of those 4 seasons...only two was designated to be SG-1. The last two seasons were nearly renamed as a spin off series called Stargate Command but skiffy rebuked the idea.

Universe is "innocent" and maybe it will be a fantastic SG series. So please, don't boycott it, because if Universe is axed too, than the whole franchise will be finished."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
