Olympic Boycott: Day Fourteen

[rusty_armour]

The news is still sinking in, but I learned from jackycomelately this morning that Stargate Atlantis has been cancelled! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :-( I probably would have found out sooner, but I'm behind with my flist and I didn't gone online last night. Anywaaaaaay, according to jackycomelately, there's going to be a movie (something similar to the SG-1 DVD movie releases, I would think) after season five and then that's it.

Man, I haven't felt this bummed out about a cancellation since Enterprise, though, at least in that case, I saw it coming. Hell, everybody saw it coming. As far as I know, no one knew that SGA was in jeopardy. Yeah, okay, it's always a possibility with any show, especially a sci-fi show, but I was kinda hoping that SGA would go for at least a couple more seasons. I'm guessing there will be massive fan campaigns to save the show, but I'm not sure if I can go through all that again. I did some serious campaigning for Enterprise and it was a little disheartening when, after a huge show of support from us fans, TPTB basically just spit in our faces.

No more Rodney? No more Zelenka? And Woolsey was such a good addition to the show. I'm so darned depressed. Even my happy pills aren't helping with this.

Well, they're talking about doing movies. Apparently the fifth season is going to end on a cliffhanger and be resolved in the TV movie, I guess. There's an article about it at Gateworld (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/08/istargate_atlantisi_will_end_thi.shtml). From what I can tell, MGM is cancelling SGA in favour of Stargate Universe (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/08/istargate_universei_has_a_go.shtml). As I couldn't care less about the new series, this isn't any kind of silver lining to me. In fact, if it is the reason SGA is being cancelled then I definitely won't be watching it.

This has nothing to do with the Olympics (we won 3 gold medals in the past couple of days, btw) but a friend pointed me to a t-shirt site and I found this gem ;-)

Sorry I'm just getting back to you now. That t-shirt is great! Thanks for sharing the link!
