Hi everyone,

just came back from work when I saw this:


SG-1 Ends Run; Atlantis Back

SCI FI Channel confirmed that it will not renew its record-breaking original series Stargate SG-1 for another season, but will pick up its spinoff series Stargate Atlantis for a fourth year. SG-1 aired its 200th episode on Aug. 18, and the SF series is the longest-running SF show on American television.

While it does sadden me, i never kept up with it once Jack left. Just wasn't the same.

I am saddened ... SG1 original was one of my favo TV shows ever. And Carter is my hero since I was a W.A.F. myself. Hmmm, I heard that they had been combining SGi and SG Atlantis themes together in episodes sometimes. So, is it possible that some of the SG1 characters will appear on Atlantis? Hope so!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Season 10 hasn't even started here yet, but even so, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

At least Atlantis will remain..

Yes ... we have Atlantis still with us. Maybe SG1 will go into rerun somewhere too ... like Fox channel? I have the movie of SG:Atlantis. Think I'll watch it again this weekend.

There's an Atlantis movie?????? I did not know that

Yes and it's excellent! Very exciting and has the TV characters of both SG's in it.

Where can one obtain this movie? I must have it

I never got into it since the movie blew (and it made David Spade's list of things you missed while busy being cool) but what's the difference between SG1 and Atlantis? Also, what's the general plot? I remember the movie was about them making a stargate and going to another planet, where some evil god was oppressing people and they had to whoop his boat before going back.

HEhe, they didn't make it, they found it. The Stargate is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond human technology lol. As for the other questions...there's way too much stuff for me to answer them. Plus i'm a lazy bumb

*My lips are sealed tighter'n the stargate = the plot is too good to tell. And when did David Spade drift into the center of the universe of critical acclaim, any way???

Ibis goes away grumbling *** ... David Spade? Isn't he Finch??

Oh come on, I'll spoil the plot of 4400 if you spoil SG1.

The 4400 has got nothing on Stargate, SG-1 or Atlantis. No deal, my friend

Ha, actually yes, he is.

4400 > anything that has to do with a stargate

at least until you guys tell me what the hamster it's about.

Am I to assume you are referring to the pilote episode?

Maybe .. is the movie the pilot episode? I bought it at Blockbuster. I'm not aware if it is the pilot because I've never seen SG Atlantis on tv. Maybe someone else knows.

I guess theres a possibility another network will take it on...

From wiki

On August 21st 2006, the Sci Fi Channel announced that they would not be renewing Stargate SG-1 after a series of poor performances in the Nielsen Ratings. Naturally, fans were enraged at the news, and spokespersons for the production have said options are being considered. According to the fansite www.gateworld.net, "executive producer Robert Cooper isn't counting Stargate SG-1 out yet."

However, this announcement of the series cancellation is innacurate. MGM/Sony hold the rights to the series and the Sci Fi Channel merely order episodes from MGM. As of the present time, no network or company has ordered new episodes of SG-1, so the show is effectively on hold, until a new buyer can be found. MGM has expressed a desire to continue the series, but an avenue has not yet been found. [1]

A similar incident occured in 2001 when Showtime descided not to pick up Stargate SG-1 for a 6th season, it was only a matter of months before MGM received an offer from Scifi to renew the series on their network.

Wow, really good research Ramirez! Let's keep our fingers crossed then!

yes I pretty much agree. It wasn't as comical in the same way. He was the perfect combo of duty and laidback(yness)

Maybe it is time to let it die though. 200 episodes... its had a good run.

meh you may have a point there, oh well, onecould always buy the seasons if they want to watch it.

Yes, it is nice that you can buy TV episodes/seasons .... I have some X-Files and the X-Files movie.
