I have a theory.
Picture a bunch of Execs around a table.
"Guys, sg-1 has been cancelled. What can we do to get ourselves back on the map, and keep Atlantis afloat. Ahehe, ah hehehe. Sorry. Well?"
"Well, how about we find other successful sci-fi series, try to identify what makes them different, and then emulate it"
"Well? Who made successful sci-fi?"
"What about Joss Whedon? He's got a HUGE fanbase"
"True. Firefly was cancelled anyway"
"Yeah, but that was just FOX treating it like crap."
"I agree. So, what does Joss do that sets his work apart?"
"Um....he's an excellent writer?"
"You're fired. You there, what do you think?"
"Well, Joss always kills off his main characters, especially ones that are well loved by the fans."
"Really? Guys, I THINK we're on to something"
And so on.
Just a theory
