A moment of silence

Please. Sci-Fi Channel has announced that as of the end of this (unprecedented tenth) season they are canceling Stargate SG-1. Fortunately Stargate Atlantis will still continue. This, I believe, is a very bad idea. I love sci-fi, and SG-1 is one of the funnest shows on the air. It isn't in the same category as B-5 (high drama, excellent plotting and arcs), but it is great fun. It has wide arcs and awesome characters. It might go over the top sometimes, but that is part of the fun. It would be a tragedy if the show were to actually die. The rest of the season (after they break for the fall/winter sometime in the next month or two) will not air until March. Hopefully that means there will be some time for the producers to hopefully find a new home for the show. Unlike when idiot executives cancelled Firefly or Crusade. Grrrr....

SG-1 is a really fun show! I don't know what those guys are thinking. More talking heads in shirts that think they know what makes the world tick I guess.

Um, you do know that all shows eventually end, right? 10 years is a good run for any show.

Oh, I know it is an excellent run--I just don't think that it is time to end. It isn't like MASH where the actors were ready to go, so they wrapped things up and then had a grand finale show. SG-1 is still going strong and has many good stories left in it.

Isn't that always the story Aunt Bee?
