Stargate Atlantis Cancelled!
Kinda surprised by this… After 5 seasons, Stargate Atlantis has been canned, despite being one of the best performers for US Sci Fi channel.
Sci Fi have however commisioned a 2hr Atlantis tv/dvd movie, so it’s possible they’re just finding the shows too expensive to shoot, and recent SG-1 movies (Ark of Truth and Continuum) have shown it’s more cost effective to make the 2hr specials.
There’s also no word yet on what this does to the pitched 3rd series, Stargate: Universe. On the plus side, they said they’d only want to start it after Atlantis finished. On the minus, if money is an issue, surely that’s still an issue with a new show…
There’s an official press release due from MGM sometime in the next 24hrs, so hopefully we’ll have more answers then.
With the MMORPG Stargate: Worlds due out next year, i can’t see the Stargate brand vanishing totally anytime soon.
I seldom leave a response, however i did a few searching and wound up here Stargate
Atlantis Cancelled! | GeekTown. And I actually do have a couple
of questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it
be simply me or does it look as if like a few of these responses appear like they are coming
from brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are writing on other social sites,
I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list of all of all your communal
sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
Aw, this was a really good post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get anything done.
are you guys for real. Monday nights at 8pm no one bothers me at home
BECAUSE I AM WATCHING STARGATE ATLANTIS. i LIVE IN MONTREAL CANADA AND
I SKIP THE HOCKEY GAMES FOR THIS SHOW AND NOW YOU GUYS JUST END IT LIKE THAT. WHAT THE HE(DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK) ARE YOU GUYS THINKING
I have been following all of the Stargate season,s ,and I have also collected all the Stargate Sg1 series and all of there movies.
I was extremely pleased when Stargate Atlantis took off where SG1 finished. I have started to collect all of the dvd seasons for Atlantis, and im also watching it a present on Sky 2.
Im distgusted with the powers that be for canceling such a popular series of films. WHY???????????????????????????????????????
They have a hell of a folowing and also the dvd’s are not cheap to buy so they are clearly making money from these programs, yet the just cancelled it before it had run its course.
If the chief exec is reading this , Why have you made this decision to cancel such a world wide popular show.
YOU MUST BE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and you should’nt be in charge.
it may not have been the best of the two sg shows but at least it was not watching a group of grown men walk around empty old buildings screaming like little girls because they claim something brushed against them. twenty five years as apolice officer who is into sci fi i can tell you i went into enough empty dark buildings not knowing if what i was looking for was around the next corner ( and thats live suspects with weapons ) when i heard noises or saw something mypartner and myself never screamed. put the camera man in front so we can see what you claim you think is there. sg-1 & sga were sci fi and made up and that was entertaining. you are supose to be real and yet nothing. john,mackay,tela,ronon, and the rest of the cast will be mist by me and my grandson. hope the movie is out soon.
Again with the cancellation of still viable and popular shows. I guess this means that this media company is just going to give us more rediculous mindless 90 minute extravaganzas like the rabbits that ate the knights in “MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAILE”. Although that movie was really funny and entertaining. The C.E.O. morons at SCIFI CHANNEL obviously don’t give a crap about quality or the genre that has millions of U.S. fans and hundreds of millioons more around the world. I hate the Bush like morons so much it hurts. I never watch their gagles of giant snake monster movies, or their low quality special effects movies featuring giant bugs or saber tooth tigers.
I just can’t wait for JOHN EDWARDS to return. Oh boy, I cannot wait for more ghost stories and hauntings shows that are as interesting as watching George Bush clear brush on his ranch or watching paint dry. Someone at SCIFI CHANNEL is a hack who produces the lowest cost product with great advertising that promises quality scifi and delivers bull excrement.
