stargate's not completely dead.  there is supposed to be an atlantis movie.

Not from what I heard. Went to a con a few months back, at which David Nykl and Connor Trinneer mentioned together that the movie was either in limbo or had been flat-out canceled. The situation may have changed since then, but I haven't personally seen anything.

This. Actually, the whole post. Stargate was awesome, Universe was probably my favourite show on TV ATM.

Don't think burlywood is going to be much of a go with the new forum theme.

Oh for the love of.. this happens every frakkin' time I start getting attached to a show. I agree completely with Battuta's sentiments - it definitely wasn't perfect, but it did try to get close to literary sci fi and I found that lately it's been getting better at it.
Well, on the bright side, SyFy now has a free slot for more wrestling, because that's what quality science fiction is all about.

Watched K-9 this morning, the new Doctor Who spin-off, and its pretty lame, though entertaining from a kiddie perspective, nothing deep so far,

because the rest of the world didn't like it.  they aren't going to keep a show with bad ratings.

What bad ratings? I checked IMDB, and all but a few episodes were rated above 7/10. I remember two that were in the 6.5 - 7.0 range. Is that bad?

i didnt expect sgu to last long when it started. seemed they were trying to feed to hoards of bsg fans with more of the same gritty kind of scifi, in the wake of bsg. cant say it was anything spectacular either. its sad that they went and canceled atlantis though, because that was at least somewhat funny. at this point there much point in resurrecting new franchises. everything we had were essentially spin offs anyway. what we need it some kind of fresh material.

Actually, given that there's no good way to capture the timeshift audience right now, that's...not necessarily clear.

He means Nielsen ratings, i.e. a sample of how many people are watching a show, which is used by advertisers to determine how much to pay to get their ads in the show.

[TopAce]

Ah.

I figured it was somehow related to ads and profit.

[Kosh]

There's been a number of Sci-fi shows that have been canned in the last 5 years after only a season or two. Invasion, Threshold, the 4400, Surface, and now this. 

[Nemesis6]

Someone should do a cry-count on Stargate Universe. You know, like someone counted how many times Obama and McCain would say would say "uhh", and "my friends", respectively.

By the way, how many of the cast died along the way? It gives me joy thinking about their stale acting being hampered by rigor mortis, or possibly from being a frozen piece of space debris!

When your only bread winner is the hot chick, for god's sake, don't kill her off!

did they kill her off?  i haven't watched much of season 2.  and they probably kill so many off because the actors want off of the sinking ship.

[Liberator]

Actually, AFAIK, none of the main cast every bought it.  Not even that on again, off again jerk Telford.

[General Battuta]

I liked Telford! He turned out to be pretty cool and had a good bromance with Young.

They killed off a few semimain characters and it seemed like Chloe was maybe on her way out. We'll find out in S2.

Spoiler:

nope, i read the spoilers and now you're cursed to do so also

[Nemesis6]

bromance

Had to be done!

[Charismatic]

Caprica: Canceled as soon as it starts to get good.

SG:U: Canceled as soon as it starts to get good.

What's up next for cancellation by these guys, Firefly?

Cannot agree more.

Im still all for a FarScape 2..

[newman]

Just be happy they don't have a time machine, or they'd go back and cancel shows that didn't get canceled originally.

Spoiler:

Which one are you referring to, Ginn or Dr. Amanda Perry?

[The E]

Both, I guess. The line did get kinda blurry at the end there.

[Liberator]

I think everyone is forgetting that Dr. Perry was a prisoner inside her own body when she wasn't inhabiting someone else using the stones.
