Stargate SG-1 Cancelled

Ten years is a great run, but watch the stupid petitions fly...

I actually like Atlantis more anyways. I stopped watching SG-1 completely. Like you said, though. It was a great run.

Yeah, I'm more a fan of Atlantis now, the Ori were the Lord Dreggs of this series and clearly the last resort to keeping it fresh. SG-1's producers made the mistake of killing off all of it's lead enemies because they always feared they would be cancelled. They even regard the last two seasons as a "new series" in some way

I love SG-1... but come on... it should have ended after season 6.

I did enjoy the 200th episode.

Exactly, how the hell are you going to top "Team Stargate: World Police"?

Uh...That's the Transformers forum...there's nothing on there about Stargate...

But.. I did get an email about it... ah well.. we still have SGA so maybe Daniel will head on over there perminently.

Here's all the info about SG1 being cancelled. Robert Cooper of course is gonna change their minds...or put it on another channel. He wants SG1 to go on for another 10 years and there's no stopping him...so...like the other previous years where SG1 was announced as being cancelled...I'll just take this with a grain of salt. It'll be back...Im not worried... but at least SGA was renewed.

www.gateworld.net

Oh and you were wondering when the petitions would start? Well here's the first one. It's called the Tissue Box Campaign.

"What we wish you to do is take a kleenex box, and in black sharpie write “SEND MORE!” on the side, along wih a nice, polite letter explaining why you want the show to keep living."

And if you don't get what a tissue box has to do with Stargate...then you're not a true fan...or don't remember what happened in "Children of the Gods"

Oh For Crying Out LOUD! NOT THE KLEENEX! Can we say cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?

Man, I haven't been over to Gateworld in ages.

Stargate does get "cancelled" just about every season, doesn't it? It's almost a tradition. They should just kill Daniel Jackson again. Those SDJ people have had nothing to do.

Figures, I get back into the show and they can it.

Oh well.

I've enjoyed this season (as well as last year's season), I love the new enemy!

But, it's not the end of the world if the show gets cancelled. It's been on too long anyway.

Technically it was Sci-fi channel who cancelled it... Robert Cooper and MGM want the series to stick around for another 10 seasons...sooo they'll just be putting it on another network. *shrugs*


Check this out... now HERE's a fan who really wants to save SG1:

The Series finale, "Unending", premiered in the UK last night

Spoiler:
Yeah...well. The Asguard. There dead. Deader than a Dodo choking on the fumes of an asteroid. They attempted to cure their genetic deterioration and triggered a genetic virus that spread through their race. They give all their techonlogoy and archives to the Human race at last, and invite them to witness their mass suicide by destroying the planet of Orilla.

The Oddysey is attacked by The Ori, and The Asguard provide much needed assistance by destroying Orilla, taking out two Ori warships. The Oddysey however, can't activate the new Asguaridan weapons quickly enough to take large amounts of damage, they do succed in using one though, and it decimates an Ori ship. The remaining vessel however, manages to fire a leathal disruptor at the ship, and Carter activates a time bubble that slows down the blast, but it means that until she can find a means of saving the ship, there stranded in the bubble, and on the ship. Isolated.

The remainder of the episode sees how the team deal with their lives on the ship as days turn to months, and then years. Colnel dies, Daniel and Vala get together (in a scene that is quite emotional for the usually comedic Vala), Te'alc gets at least a few grey hairs, but remains virtually youthful after fifty years. Carter finally comes up with the means of altering the timeline, but it requires Te'alc to take the present's place in a paradox and remain who he is, whilst the remainder will not remember any of the events that transpired, nor will have lived them.


Not many spoilers come from images, so here we go









[/QUOTE]



Final words of the series are the entire team saying "indeed"



If anyone wants the episode, just PM me.

Atlantis will never hold a candle to SG-1 but it is still a great spinoff.

Say don't forget the 2 movies coming out soon.

Actually, Stargate SG-1 was a series based on the movie with Kurt Russel. Not the other way around.

And it's funny. I stopped watching the show ages ago, I think I've seen the Asgard about only once or twice and then the show became less about exploring about different worlds and more about politics and alliances of humans and aliens. All in all, I thought it was rather silly, although I see that they couldn't have gone on just meeting strange stuff on other planets forever, setting up makeshift escapes from the the Goa'Uld whenever they appear. And despite all this, I feel that something will be missing in the TV-world. But then again, ten seasons are indeed an awesome run. I just might be willing to catch up on the whole thing.

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later, especially after Richard Dean Anderson left.

I know what Stargate SG-1 was but I just thought I heard.

Yes to the other guy, geeze you all care for 1 guy.. Disapointing and you call yourself Stargate fans.. Haven't you guys forgotten about the other great characters.

Richard Dean is nice but come on I respect all of them.
