'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled
Ant writes "The Sci-Fi channel has announced that it will not be renewing its (very popular) original series Stargate SG-1 for another season.The spinoff series Stargate: Atlantis will get the nod, though, airing for a fourth year. SG-1 aired its 200th episode on August 18th, and the SF series is the longest-running SF show on American television." Gateworld has further details: "New episodes of both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis continue Fridays this summer starting at 9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific, leading up to the mid-season finale on September 22. The second half of the season will begin in March, leading to SG-1's final bow on SCI FI in June."
It's just like that show with the guy who went through a space warp portal thing and landed on that living space ship thing with those little yellow robots and those damn crackers... what was the name of that show again? :)
SG-1 was to be killed just after Atlanis
SG-1 was to be killed after Jack left
Now Again.
But true they now have Farscape people, so the death should be quick!
Oh, I thought they were talking about the Asgard (shameless bastards).
.. Teal'c kills a kitten
Just a thought
I mean, how could the SGC continue to operate if Cheyenne Mountain was closed down?
Well, the Asgaard were originally much more human-like in appearance, and came to look as they do now because of millenia of genetic deterioration as a side-effect of the cloning process they use to maintain their numbers. My hypothesis, therefore, is that they have developed a painful hereditary skin condition that chaffes them terribly.
If fate makes you a motorcycle, you become a motorcycle.
Great idea! Let's rally the troops! Online petitions to save cancelled sci-fi TV shows have worked so well in the past.
BTW, anyone have torrents for last week's episodes of Farscape and Enterprise?
I read Usenet for the articles.
Well, it's been a full decade since MTV has shown a music video, so from that perspective, the Sci-Fi Channel is behind the times.
You know you can have a life on friday night and still watch your geek shows. There are two devices that let you do this by recording the shows so you can watch them later.
One of them is called a V-C-R and you can pick one up at a flea market for a few bucks. They first got popular back in the '70 when people relized they could watch porn at home. Or if they had a camera they could make their own porn. (I wouldn't recommend the home made to anyone though. Its usually just 5 mins of some dude poorly focues bare ass bouncing.) It works by letting you record the show you want to watch on a very fragle tape like substance in pour quality.
The other is called a D-V-R. It works pretty much the same way as a VCR but instead of tape, it uses an expensive and fragle highly spinning disk of death. One of the best things about a dvr is after a while it will start suggesting shows for you to watch. You might find that it has better taste in TV than you do. I know mine does.

...and for all who didn't get the joke:
Soylent SG-1 is made out of canceled shows!!
(Other) canceled shows I tell you!!
I choose to remain celibate, like my father and his father before him.
Leave it to slashdotters to mod up a post describing where to find full frontal alien nudity, and call it informative.
