Premature Rumors about Stargate Season 7?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the curse-the-internet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While some were excited about the news of Stargate's renewal, others remained cautiously skeptical. Those is who did might be interested in reading this story posted on Zap2it." I for one hope the show keeps going. With the loss of Farscape, SG1 is possibly the best straight up sci-fi on TV- and the last show on the SciFi channel I watch.

    But I have never really been all that interested in any of the series on the SciFi channel. Especially since most seem to be spinoffs from movies which I usually didn't see either.

    It doesn't matter to me if Stargate, MST3K, Farscape, The Invisible Man, Lexx, Earth Above and Beyond, Babylon 5, etc are ever shown in rerun, or new production. I would rather read a good scifi book than watch a scifi tv show. Especially since the acting in so many of them is dreadful, the 'aliens' are so obviously people with rubber face pieces, and the plots are both totally predictable and designed to be over in one hour (40 minutes without commercials).

    Quite honestly, the only scifi shows I enjoyed were the original Star Trek reruns, Buck Rodgers, and BattleStar Galactica. And only Star Trek holds up in syndication. (Of course part of that might be that my brother and I had to stay up late to watch Star Trek as kids, so there was also the fact we were staying up late without mom and dad knowing.)

    Oh, wait. Does Dark Angel count as scifi, since she was genetically designed? I enjoyed that show for the first season, since she was hot, but then the plot karma caught up to it.
