Sci-Fi Channel has declined to pick up the 11th season of Stargate: SG-1. Now you know as much about it as I do. Click the pic to join us in mourning and complaint.
I’m working on a bunch of stuff for the site and the show right now, folks, and I am just exhausted. I got nuthin more to give ya. After 10 solid years, Stargate‘s done been cancelled. Holla back about it.
Well, according to what’s out there – the live viewing ratings are down and unless they come up for the second half of the season then they’ll cancel. Which is making alot of SciFi channel viewers wonder what crap they’ll replace it with – apparently the SciFi channel is currently showing wrestling, go figure! There are indications that SG1 might continue in “made for TV” movies, but that’s pretty much spectulation at this point. Michael Shanks released a brief comment about it being the end of a chapter but not the book – read into that what you will.
I think the show had run it’s course. Plus they are still going to produce and show the umpteen million Stargate spinoffs so that should keep fans happy.
I have yet to see Stargate: Infinity or Stargate: Atlantis. I know a lot of fans really hated Infinity, but I’m a big animation fan, so still I wanna check it out. And I’ve heard really good things about Atlantis.
I think one thing that REALLY hurt SG-1 was too many cast additions. I think a lot of TV shows could take a cue from The Rolling Stones; when a member leaves, don’t replace them. Just keep on working with what you’ve got. This was the same thing that killed Sliders, Airwolf, and I suspect to some degree Deadwood. You can’t expect people to really like a character for years and years, and then like some new guy just as much all of a sudden, especially if the new guy is the other guy’s replacement. People just don’t work like that.
Pretty much killed the X-Files too. Man Sliders now there was a great show. But yeah I pretty much stopped watching when they killed off the Professor he was my favorite character.
Well, I’m fan of Stargate and have watched every movie and both series. So I’ll be honest:
Killing off the series after 10th season doesn’t seem so bad. For one, there is a new upcoming ‘Universe’ series (which in all honesty will be just a lame copy of Star Trek Voyager). They’re running out of ideas, and it would really suck if the show would become dull. Three story arcs were enough, for one series…
There tons of reasons more, but these is the most important one…
