Re: Star Gate SG1 cancelled
Well, I am not am not shocked. It is now in the midst of its tenth season.
I am glad that they are at least giving the show a bit of lag time before dumping it. It will give them time to resolve dangling plotlines or move them onto Atlantis.
A part of me is saddened by SG-1's end. I did not subcribe to Showtime, and was jazzed when the show moved to Sci-Fi. However, for the past few years it has been in the back of my mind that the show was going the way of the Dodo.
I think they did a swell job of soldiering on after the departure of RDA. (Pun intended!) Some things worked for me and others did not.
I love Browder as an actor, but Mitchell was a humdrum character. His character never seemed to have any zip.
Claudia Black was another fav of mine. (Can you tell that I loved Farscape?) She, however, worked my last little nerve last season. However, when they brought her character back, I was shocked by how much I liked Vala. Kudos to the writers for coming up with a character unlike those that preceded her.
At any rate, there is nothing to be done. The show will soon be gone and that is that.
I hope that they are able to concentrate their efforts and make Atlantis a better show. Thus far, it truly has been SG-1's ugly step-sister.
I hope they flesh out their characters and give more thought to the show's plotlines. They need to beef up the roles of Teyla and Ronan (aka Conan and Xena). Right now they are dead weight.
Weir's stupidity has grown exponentially. They need to give that woman her brain back pronto.
Rodney's still is somewhat ha, ha, funny, but they need to move his character forward a bit.
