it's occurred to me that my last couple of posts have been somewhat serious. don't get used to that. so lest (it's a word, google it) you think i'm a serous minded woman, i'm about to discuss a less than serious topic.
stargate sg-1.
i know what you're thinking, it's a TV show!!
my response to you: so? and? therefore?
based on the stargate movie (maybe inspired by is a better term) recently canceled {"they" say "non-renewed"} after 10 seasons & over 200 episodes amid much protest from fans & now a recent promise of 2 direct to DVD movies. i didn't see the movie until a couple of years after i started watching the TV show. (not a bad movie) i only started watching because richard dean anderson (macgyver) was in it. the next thing i know, 10 years go by. (give or take, the syndicated episodes are 2 years behind the first aired ones)
the big outcry over the cancellation, (excuse me, non-renewal) in my opinion, was for 2 reasons:
- a 11th season was "in the bag" so to speak. everyone was supposedly lined-up. the first time they knew they had another season coming.
- it's a good show, well written & acted.
- it's stargate.
there's a big letter writing/call in/on-line petition campaign going on. as well as a send in tissue boxes campaign (daniel jackson had allergies early on) i don't know if any of it will help, but it couldn't hurt. there's even a slew (google that too) of "save stargate!" videos on places like youtube.com. this is one of my favorite
no matter what this show will go on in syndication & on DVD
it just occured to me that i've posted every day, don't get used to that either.
