    I really hope this series gets either a spin off or a (preferably) another season or ten.

    Come on EVERYBODY NOW!
    Take my love
    Take my land
    Take me where I cannnot stand

    I don't care, I'm still free
    you cant't take the sky from me

    Air Guitar Solo

    Take me out into the Black
    Tell them I aint commin' back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can't take the sky from me

    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can't take the sky from me

    daka-daka-daaaawww And Horses!

    re: 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1

    I'd hardly call that 'cancelled'. It's more accurate to state that 'it ended it's run' or 'completed' or simply just 'finished'.

    Or:

    1) exhausted itself
    2) ran out of steam
    3) long since jumped the shark
    4) shot it's wad
    5) went down hill seasons ago
    6) went out with a whimper, not a bang
    7) finally traveled through that giant Chaapa-ai in the sky (yeah, I had to look up the spelling)
    8) Outgoing wormhole established!
    9) one too many episodes of Wormhole Xtreme!
    10) and they still haven't gotten it on?! Oh right, he's Air Force, not Marine (See the hill, TAKE the hill, dipshit! Two l's for lloser. The one-l'd O'Neil from the movie woulda bagged Carter long ago...)
    11) Ten is a good season to die. (Oh wait, wrong series.)
    12) never did meet the Furlings...(for real)
    13) finally ran out of ex-Star Trek/Farscape/Andromeda actors to guest star (shoulda hooked up some Bablyon 5 peeps)
    14) Hardly any Lexa Doig - good riddance to ya, ya bastards!
    15) hey, aren't those Replicators just Lego Mindstorms?
    16) sometimes the very old (tv shows) don't do as they're told (and die, already).
    17) already re-used every other sci-fi tv show/movie plotline in the history of sci-fi/fantasy.
    18) Atlantis will still suck
    19) Budge. I don't know why they keep reprinting him...

    but I do wish someone had stepped up to the plate for this. It was similar to/as good as/better than Stargate.

    It passed on! This series is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the TV channels it'd be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now history! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

    "Objects in Space" wasn't even the fourth best episiode of the series. "Out of Gas" was the best episode of Firefly ever.

    The best episode of sci-fi television ever? Well, that would probably be "Kobol's Last Gleaming" from Battlestar Galactica (okay, technically, it's TWO epsiodes) followed for close 2nd and 3rd by "33" and "Hand of God" from the same series. Firefly's "Out of Gas" would rank 4th. "Whispers," an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ranks 5th. Honorable mentions include "The Inner Light" and "The Measure of a Man" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Flight of the Phoenix" from Battlestar Galactica, and "Jaynestown" and "Serenity" from Firefly.

    Damn, I have no life.
