Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis Renewed
scifi451 writes "Both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis have been renewed for another season, 9th and 2nd respectively. All of the key cast members are coming back for Atlantis, where as SG-1 stars are in negotiations, with Amanda Tapping expecting a baby in March right as filming begins. Also Richard Dean Anderson might look for an even further reduced role in the show.

Indeed. This is a cause for much celebration.
Ok.. I think I just ruined the series for myself.
"Thanks to the remote control I have the attention span of a gerbil."
Will he disappear for most of the season? You know, be stranded on some strange world without a stargate, until he builds one out of bamboo, chewing gum and duct tape with his trusty Swiss Army knife...oh, wrong series.

A while back someone on slashdot pointed out to me that Colonel O'neal (sp?) was MacGuyver. I can no longer watch SG-1 with a straight face. I'm always waiting for him to create an event horizon or temporary wormhole out of a bubblegum wrapper or something.
It's called SCIENCE FICTION. This may surprise some, but a lot of geeks enjoy science fiction.
My wife and I are excited, who's the other guy?

I don't know, but he might be the reason your wife's so excited
You know she just watches the show for Daniel Jackson. He's geeky and cute and you can hardly notice the episodes where they try to cover up his rather large belly by making him hold a sweater or wear a huge belt. He's dreamy.
My husband has accepted my crushes on fictional characters.
Well, I'm just about to undertake watching all this on DVD.
Thanks for the spoiler warning, you lone gunman fuck.

Do you even watch the show?!!!
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
They're also adding a dog, Rover, who'll play a kind of "Lassie" character, alerting the team to danger and fetching help when they're in trouble.
They've got some excellent guest stars lined up for the next season, including N-Sync and J-Lo, Al Gore, Alec Baldwin, Wierd Al, and William Shatner.
Finally, they've actually worked Tapping's pregnancy into the script. I may be saying too much, but expect a baby to be part of the plotline mid season - with surprising results!
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
I hear you man.

"when The Next Generation aired, many of the same people said the same things about that show."
Yeah , and they were right. Stock stereotypes right up to and including the last episode. But then you can say that for every star trek series including the original with its Dashing Captain, Logical 1st Officer, Comic Relief Scotsman, Irascable Doctor and Token Black Woman.
I realize this is going OT, but wth, I've got karma to burn.
/.ers have to Farscape. The plots are overly simplistic (although at least they're better than Hercules in Space, aka Andromeda), and frankly-- I got tired of watching Jim Hensen's muppets years ago. The acting is flat, the directing is stale, the special effects are standard industry fare (by which I mean that they don't suck, but they're not about to win any awards either), and the premise is just looney.
I simply don't understand the attraction so many
Each time I've tried to watch that show I've wasted a good fifteen minutes (as much as I could stand before I started throwing bricks at the TV) of my life that I can never get back.

I'm still waiting for MacGyver to do a guest appearance. :-)

I submitted this story last night, and it didn't get posted.
It's a far gate.
It has nothing to do with that syndicated television show, or that really good movie.
That I haven't seen.
But it's a good movie.
I'm a big retard who forgot to log out of Slashdot on Mike's computer! LOOK AT ME.
The other SG teams are the Stargate equivalent of the red-shirt crew members in Star Trek. If you see an SG team other than SG-1 in an episode, you can be pretty sure there are going to be fatalities before the show's over.
