Anyway, as long as atlantis continues on it should be ok, but imo they should seriously look at the teyla situation, no matter what they do with it, because imo, that's the only real thing I can think of that's still fault with the show. Apart from that it's great imo. But the not-knowing-what-to-do-with-teyla thing is the only problem the show has right now. But am dam well lookg forward to the next episode personally (Wed's for Uk people!!)

Season 10 got a whole lot better. The start and end of 9 were good, but the a couple of the middle eps of 9 got a little dull.

Actually in my opinion they're more likely to set up a general premice of a storyline then do it as an introduction. More like set up the fact that there is a world to go in to. I don't think it will relate directlty, the situation might but I don't think it will be that direct. I reckon they'll be pretty seperate. But we don't know at this point, or even that they will use it to set up another spin off, lets hope though aye

That temporal mechanics thing gives me a headache. Besides, we already have Dr. Who to satisfy anyone's need for time travel storylines... To each his own, but frankly, I think temporal mechanics is incredibly fascinating (literally and figuratively). Aside from the fact that it gives writers a lot of freedom, it also requires a good amount of thinking on the part of viewers - something that I think is all-too-often in short supply among (at least U.S.) folk. QUOTE(Invisible Painting @ Oct 17th 2006, 3:08 PM) Well lets face it, most shows nowadays screw up their last episode. Unless it was entirely planned by the show makers before hand. Any other circumstances and all show producers just put a crappy, rushed, boring and just pointless episode. I mean look at shows like angel, QL, X-files, alias (which wasn't so bad, was just rushed) and so forth. They always try squeezing in a bunch of crap they wouldn't normally, use it as an excuse to write out the main characters in situations that they would normally easily be able to get out of. End it really crappily at the end (Usually a 'here we go again...' type ending). Last episodes unless seriously planned just always feel rushed. And it's annoying. And hope that sg1 doesn't take this path too much either... I mean sometimes if a show is going to be cancelled ahead of it's time what's wrong with just having a normal, yet really good episode at the end?? Where they don't try and sum up every single storyline in that one episode. There isn't always something wrong with leaving a few threads untied...especially if it means they can make a good last episode as a result of it. I was on the other side of the "should everything be tied up" fence until I read this, and thought about ST:TNG. "All Good Things..." hardly tried to tie up every thread at all (in fact the premise was that it was "creating more threads"), but in my opinion (minus the fact of several GLARING writing inconsistencies) it was a great ending to a great show. And while I did enjoy Quantum Leap, if I were stuck in a room... ST:TNG. No question.

Civilian Group: Members Posts: 13 Joined: February 2nd 2005 Member No.: 7,858 Gender: Not Telling	QUOTE(Pitry @ Oct 21st 2006, 9:18 AM) There doesn't seem to be much to develop because none of the writers take interest in the character, IMHO. Every character can found its story and be developed. Hell, they managed to develop Sheppard! But because no episodes are written about the character, and she's never put in any interesting situations, she's lost. The analogy with Teal'c is god, because while he is the most neglected character on SG1, he's had more attention and more development - and was a much more 3D character - by the end of season 1 than Teyla has in 2.5 years. Yup, you'll meet Ronan in season 2. ;) Carter is my second choice after Daniel for an SG1 character transfer - but I'm reluctant. There isn't nay charcter on Atlantis that fills the spot Daniel does on SG1 - both the moral conscience bit and the mythology/ cultural bit (while it seems these two traits should have gone to Weir and Teyla respectively, both have been lost pretty early on). Carter and McKay have a great dynamic and great chemistry, but a) the sceintist already exists (two of them, Zelenca as well) and b) it'll turn itno the MCKay Carter show, as much as the beginning of season 9 was the Daniel and Vala show. Don't get me wrong - I loved the beginning of season 9 and so far I loved it every time McKay and Sam interacted and would probably continue to - but the show shouldn't focus on any one particular cahracter, all the time. The rest would get lost. It caused numerous problems for SG1, and their characters are well set in place. For Atlantis such a move would be disasterous. No, I'd rather both Sam and Daniel would make cameos in Atlantis, but not on a regular basis. I disagree. Ever since the loss of Jacob and Thor's disappearance in SG1, she's had no arc. However, if she were to replace Dr. Weir as the civilian commander of Atlantis, we'd have a strong female leader with a strong backstory. Granted, she's a physicist and would create some problems with the McKay & Zelenka dynamic, but she'd be of more use than Weir is in Atlantis right now. And the civilian commander as action hero makes much more sense with Carter than it does with Weir. In hindsight, I think Weir should have remained as the civilian commander of SGC because SG-1 is the show that develops the governments a lot more than SGA does. She would have been a good negotiator with the FJN and Lucian alliance while her skills are rotting away in SGA.

Lieutenant Colonel Group: Members Posts: 1,328 Joined: June 8th 2005 From: Northwest of Chicago, Illinois Member No.: 9,229 Gender: Male	DetriusXii, Forgive me in being blunt in saying this but like Pitry mentioned above Weir does play a vital role in Atlantis. Much like Daniel in SG1, she provides the morality issues to the show. You can specifically notice this in the details with the Wraith Drug/Gas in the back half of season 2 and the start of season 3 with episodes like Misbegotten. And although how you mentioned that he skills are going to waste in Atlantis. I wouldn't consider that the case. Look at the episodes with the Genii and most specifically The Siege Part III Cameos are well enough but Atlantis has built up its own cast and integrating (pardon me for saying this) old blood, would probably lead to the shows cancellation. What I'm saying is that Sci-Fi cancelled one of its larger, if not largest, fan based show for a slight drop in ratings. Id rather have only half my Stargate then none at all.

Although they are ending the series, TPTB know that interest in Stargate remains high. Movies, mini-series...I'll take Stargate in whatever form it takes as long as they don't do something totally stupid that ruins the storyline, and although I'm a die-hard shipper, I hope they keep the relationship off the show. That is, until the right time, like they did in the Star Trek series with Riker and Troi.

If so, then they should continue the serious with DVDs. I?m sure the thousands of fans around the world will want to get their hands on them, meaning more $$$$$$$ for both parties. FUKK Sci-fi, FUKK them. Sorry if I miss anything.

Major General Group: Donating Members Posts: 3,082 Joined: July 1st 2004 From: KY, United States Member No.: 5,411 Gender: Female	In a new interview with Michael on the IGN website, Michael - commenting on the proposed Stargate SG-1 movies - has confirmed that he has "just finished negotiations - I think most of the cast has finished for appearances in movies." He adds: "We know the first shoot date of the first movie is April 15th and the second is around June 1st. As much as I know about the story, the first one Rob is writing and directing has to do with wrapping up the Ori storyline, which is the storyline that has taken prominence for the last two years of the show." From Michael Shanks OnLine, December 21, 2006. There is a link on the website with a transcript of the entire interview, if you're interested.

I just hope they don't take it out on Atlantis. I think the movies are a great thing for MS this gives him freedom to do other things like I know he wants to do. I just hope CB does all the movies too I want Daniel and Vala together but I am a shipper. I wonder what kind of stories they will do after the Ori storyline is wrapped up. I know they are doing a time travel one for the second one but I wonder how they will keep the movies fresh.

If they can get RDA back full-time into the role (he should be bored by now, right? )..and maybe Don Davis back as well? I think it'll be great...although I have some trepidation about the phrase "time travel" . It hasn't exactly had the best track record lately.. I agree, I think that RDA would be a great addition to the movie. I think he proved that he is willing to do something to tie up the show. The ratings went up for episode 200, mainly because of his appearance, IMO. But because of the subject matter for the first movie, the main team needs to be heavily involved. QUOTE(hobo_joe20 @ Oct 16th 2006, 3:56 PM) I think I be too young to get this reference . I assume it has something to do with a rehashed show idea though ... Oh man, like others, I feel old! Although the show, Quantom Leap is in syndication.

(MGM) announced today the extension of the hit “Stargate SG-1” franchise with two movies based on the popular series. Titled “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” and “Stargate: Continuum”, the movies will both be made available to the television universe and home entertainment marketplace by MGM. The announcement was made by Charles Cohen, Senior Executive Vice President, MGM. “`Stargate SG-1? is to MGM Television what the ‘James Bond,’ ‘Pink Panther’ and the ‘Rocky’ franchises are to our feature film unit,” said Cohen. “We are committed to continuing to release new SG-1 content and its `Stargate Atlantis’ spin-off, and we’re also steadfast in our dedication to extending the franchise. ‘Stargate’ is an indelible brand for MGM and we will support it well into the future.” With its high quality production values, long-term stability in the show’s leadership and strong chemistry between the lead actors in the series, all of whom have big audience appeal, “Stargate SG-1” is the longest-running science-fiction series in U.S. TV history. The series has a strong worldwide fan base and can be seen in over 120 countries. “Stargate SG-1” cast members Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black and Michael Shanks are confirmed to star in both movies. Written and produced by Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the new movies will feature the latest visual and sound effects, providing viewers with a theatrical movie-going experience. In the first movie, “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” will bring a conclusion to the primary storyline of the past two seasons of the SG-1 television series. More thrills and action-packed scenes are planned for this special event movie, which will be directed by Cooper. The suspense will end as fans will see the conclusion of the epic Ori saga. In the second movie, “Stargate: Continuum” the SG-1 team is now free to embark on new and exciting adventures throughout the endless Stargate universe. Below are the synopses for the new “Stargate” movies: “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” As SG-1 searches for an Ancient artifact which they hope can defeat the armies of the Ori, they learn more Ori ships are about to be sent through the supergate to launch a final assault on Earth. Daniel discovers that the artifact, the Ark of Truth, may be in the Ori home galaxy, and SG-1 embarks aboard the Odyssey to find it, and pre-empt the attack. The IOA has a plan of their own and SG-1 ends up in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies. “Stargate: Continuum” While SG-1 attends the execution of Ba’al, the last of the goa’uld system lords, Teal’c and Vala inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter, Daniel and Mitchell race back to a world where history has been changed: the Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities what’s happened, a fleet of goa’uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba’al, his queen, Katesh, (Vala) and his first prime, Teal’c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the goa’uld. About Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.

Does that mean more SG-1 after the movies perhaps? -In the first of the movies SG-1 find themselves in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies? One are undoubtedly the Ori but who are the second? Could this movie lead into the second spin off?

Does this mean the Sangreal gets destroyed during season 10 of SG-1? And in the second movie, how did the timeline get changed? Did Ba'al do something, because if Apophis and the other system lords are still gone, then he must have done something specific to change the flow of time. Perhaps he had someone steal Janus' timeship... Now I'm excited.

Master Sergeant Group: Members Posts: 310 Joined: February 21st 2005 From: Pharr, Texas Member No.: 8,176 Gender: Female	Which confirms my original thoughts. There was no way the network was going to let go completely of the frachise while it still generates revenue. It just needed to update programming, which of course sucks for the rest of us old folks that like their Stargate just fine, but at least we know that there will be more to come. It just feels really weird to know that for the first time in ten years, come fall, there will be no new season of Stargate to look forward to. Robert Cooper will be directing the first movie. So what do you all think? Are his directorial skills good enough for him to direct a feature film? Has he directed a feature film? (I think I'll look that up.) What are everyone's expectations. I really don't pay much attention to the credits part of the episodes, which is sad, I know, I should, but damn I'm just so busy. I need to go back and watch all the episodes and compare. So what's y'alls take on this directorial endeavour. This post has been edited by J&S4Ever: Jan 15th 2007, 3:00 PM
