New episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis begin Friday, which means they'll be taped for sure (as SmackDown might be too.) I think Atlantis ended with the crew on a hive ship trying to blow it up, so I look forward to seeing the conclusion to that. Should be good. SG-1 ended with Earth being attacked by the Ori via a plague. And the plague wasn't contained like it usually is, so it's spreading all over everywhere. Should be a quality night of programming this Friday on the Sci-Fi channel. |

I need to break down and start watching these. Since I don't bother watching SD anymore...on the occasions I'm home...sounds great! BTW, you all need to buy Firefly and Serenity on DVD right now! Awesome sci-fi! |

This makes me a sad panda.
SG-1 is better than Atlantis in every possible way. I like both show, but Atlantis being renewed and not SG-1 is bullshit. Sci-Fi doesn't have too many shows that bring in the "low" ratings that SG-1 does. This however gives me hope.
Another network would be wise to pick the series up. It's easily as good now as it has ever been, from a story and acting stance. I wouldn't even care what network picked it up, just as long as someone does. Hell the CW network is going to suck ass, they should pick it up, as the only decent show they'll have is SmackDown. Or Spike, it's certainly better than "Blade: The Series:". :mad: |

My God, the show has been on for nearly a decade now right? Some of these shows really should quit while they're ahead, before they run out of steam. X-Files anyone? |

Yes, it's over (on Sci-Fi at least) at the end of this season (it's 10th). However, they should've been cancelled a while back, when the show actually sucked. Season 6, most of seasons 7 and 8. They really reinvented themselves with season 9, with the Beau Bridges as the General, Ben Browder joining the team, and Claudia Black becoming a full time member of the team as well (this year anyway). They've got new badass villians, all new storylines. The show is really on fire right now, I'd say the best it's been in a long time (it's almost like a new show, with some familiar characters). Totally the wrong decision by Sci-Fi, at least right now, considering last weeks 200th episode got a 1.9 rating, which was higher than Atlantis got. |

I agree. There were plenty of times they could've canceled the show, they chose the time where SG1 really got to rocking and basically felt like a different show. They were doing great stuff the past two seasons. Sci-Fi is stupid, ratings dropped because they tried to fix something that wasn't broken. That being Sci-Fi Friday: Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. That's apparent by BG also taking a hit in ratings. The three shows performed well off of one another, there was no reason to separate them. Maybe, just maybe, they'll undo their mistake and bring SG1 back... Or quit being bastards who KNOW the show will still draw and be a success, by sitting on a contract and saying "you can't take the show to any other network, we have the contract". |

Spoilers for the series finale of Stargate SG-1: The last episode of SG1 won't air here in the States until May or June, but it has already aired in either Canada or the UK, so I watched it last night on Daily Motion. A pretty damn good episode, especially the beginning. Basically, all five members of SG-1 and General Landry are aboard The Odyssey and are attacked by Ori ships. After several hits, their shields are down to zero, meaning the next hit and they are finished. So Carter activates a time dilation bubble, basically slowing everything in it down drastically. There, the team live out the next 50 years of their lives on the ship, just the six of them and then Landry dies of old age. Carter eventually figures out a way to reverse it all, but they have to deactivate the bubble to do so. The problem is the Ori beam was already launched, so in less than a second after coming out of the dilation, the ship will explode. So Teal'c gets in a force field to reverse the process and the ship is destroyed, and they all die... for a few seconds until everything that has just happened is reversed and they're able to speed away. But because Teal'c was the one to have the shield and reverse it, he keeps the memory of the 50 years they went through and remains aged (he now has gray streaks in his hair). The show ends with SG-1 walking through the gate, showing that their adventures continue even though the show isn't. Sounds stupid if you're reading it and haven't watched any, but it's a very cool episode. The major thing to come from it happened within the first ten minutes, and that was the Asgard telling Carter that we, the Tau'ri or Earthlings, are officially the Fifth Race (The alliance of the Four Races were Ancients, Asgard, Furlings and The Nox, we became the Fifth). The Asgard then upgraded The Odyssey with ALL of the Asgard weapons, technology, knowledge and their entire recorded history. Basically, they leave their legacy to the people of Earth, because the Asgard are about to be extinct. Their physical degeneration from thousands of years of cloning has resulted in disease, and there is nothing else they can do. They commit mass suicide after upgrading The Odyssey, by blowing up their planet. Thor, who was on the show, and the rest of the Asgard all die. Though I have no idea if the Asgard aboard the Atlantis ship joined them or if he's still with the Atlantis crew. So there might be one left. Very good episode though. Now SG-1 can start really getting good with the movies, since MGM wants to make 2 SG-1 movies a year, and are giving them a much bigger budget then they ever had to do the TV (and anyone who has watched the show knows Stargate always had some kickass special effects). I suppose 10 years for a Sci-Fi show is good enough, certainly is the record. |

The SERIES finale of Stargate SG-1 airs tonight, followed by the SEASON 3 finale of Stargate: Atlantis. Both of are great episodes, the Atlantis one being the better of the two. I highly recommend all of you check these shows out tonight at 8PM EST on the Sci-Fi channel. The only thing good about the SG1 cancellation, is MGM has given them a much bigger budget (and they already have a big one; their effects are awesome) to make their direct-to-DVD movies coming out this fall. If these two movies do well, many more will be made, possibly some being released to theaters. :) |

As you may not know i live in the UK and we for some reason SKY One who have right to SG-1 and Alantis aired the Last episodes of SG-1 before America got to see it now i don't think this has happend before can you tell me why America has had to wait for the last episode of SG-1 and the UK did not. Also from what i am told Sam Carter is ment to end up on Alantis not sure about the rest of SG-1 oh and before i forget do you know when we in the UK will get to see the SG-1 movies or will they just go straight to DVD over here. |

Probably some contract issue. See the bolded item? I think you partially answered your own question. ;) It's like, with videogames, more often than not it's you guys getting screwed and having to wait several months while we Americans get it first. Same general concept. I have no idea about the rest of your question. I know someone who might, though. I'll forward your question to them and if I get an answer I'll post it here. :) EDIT: Answer from a gent I know in the UK:
http://www.gateworld.net/ ^^ Good site to keep up to date with info. |
