Re: Stargate SG-1 cancelled
It is integrated VERY well. Like "black market," it is absolutly concievable that a situation like that would happen. They also try not to abstensibley single out a certain group. In SG-1, I get the feeling and others do as well that they are trying to force they political issues as they see it. But BSG uses these politcal hot button issues as seriously drive the plot ala the abortion issue and Baltar's presidency. And not all this political issues are resolved in the neat prestine way that ST: Voyager was. Again the abortion issue, Roslynn had to make a very difficult decision. And the interesting thing about BSG is that it tries to ask those that might approve of abortion, but asks in this situation would you justify what you might consider to be an infraction of civil rights, be justified in this situation. Although I was kind of annoyed by the priest and her religious comments. I fealt as though they were trying to ascribe all pro-life advocates as religious cookes. But the primary reason that I think it is tolerable is the fact that the political structure of the 12 colonies is still intact on the show and Ron Moore has decided to show how these political issues really affect the story line instead of, like in the case of SG-1, just an easy way to extend the show for a few more seasons with out having to be really creative or in the case of Voyager solve them ever so neatly and not have it affect anything much or have some convienient solution. This is one of the reasons I liked DS9 so very much. Sometimes things were not so clean cut and easy. It is no suprise that Ron Moore wrote for that show, IIRC. An example of this might be when the Romulan Ambassador was assasinated and the Dominion framed or Section 31 for instance. I am sorry if this seems incoherent. It is very late and I had a long day at work.

Not to derail it, but that is the case despite the best efforts of conservative think-tanks to attempt to create a secularized side for their arguement.

I don't and try to avoid the use religous arguments personally. But all of that aside, try and avoid generalizations.[of course I have no room to talk]

Re: Stargate SG-1 cancelled
the only problem I had with SG-1 is that you have to watch every episode in order to know whats happening.  I watched it with my uncle and I ahd to ask him almost everything they were doing.

No big deal its ending.  Tho my uncle will be upset alot.  He loves it to death.
Well what do I do now?  Well Jack, you seem to have an act for blowing things up....

Re: Stargate SG-1 cancelled
It is integrated VERY well. Like "black market," it is absolutly concievable that a situation like that would happen.
Ron Moore actually considers that one of the worst episodes.

If they are going to cancel it, it better have a good ending and not some damn end of season cliffhanger. If it ends wrong, well I'm gonna go on a murderous rampage.

No, that doesn't sound anything like a personal problem. God damn, if you're going to use a cliche, at least use it right.

If what i've read is accurate, you're going to going on one hell of a rampage.

Still, you never know, it may get picked up by another network.

 
Re: Stargate SG-1 cancelled
What they need to do is throw out the last episode to be shown and make a new one to end it well.

Albeit AFAIK it's not the scenario he didn't like, it was how the storytelling worked out (IIRC was supposed to be akin to a sort of gumshoe/detective type story).

Actually since it's Ron Moore's opinion that Black Market was one of the worst episodes, that is his personal problem. Since it is after all, his personal opinion.

It's not my fault the man thinks what he made was bad.

Regaurdless, I think my point still stands as problems like this one are completely concievable, if not likly.
