Robert C. Cooper himself said that since season six the writers have been writing "endings", and that they are all getting tired of writing endings. And I wouldn't blame them. It's incredibly difficult to keep on writing bigger and badder threats and then solving the problem realistically--the fact that SG-1 lasted 10 seasons is a testament not only to the excellent writing but to the depth of performance and commitment by its cast and crew.
I love Stargate SG-1 and will be sad to see it go, but I am not as outraged as I was over, say, the cancellation of Enterprise (which, as terrible as the writing was there, was definitely A Terrible Blow to the entire franchise). In this case it is the reverse; the Stargate franchise is going to continue blossoming for many years to come:
- The producers and writers can now focus exclusively on Atlantis. Cooper has commented on how he enjoys it because everything is new again.
- Perhaps this will motivate MGM to do a movie, television movie, mini-series, etc., if they could find a network.
- Maybe someone will get their act together and produce a cool Stargate computer game (I have no clue if Stargate Alliance is ever coming out--the show website says yes but other places say no). Stargate Worlds looks interesting, but I am not an MMORPGer at heart.
- At least the show will be spared jumping the shark (unless someone thinks it already has . . .). And by being informed now, the writers have the ability to create a truly fantastic series finale that will blow us away.
Of course, I would love to see SG-1 jump to another channel, provided that the channel could adequately carry the show. As IntrepidIsMe pointed out, budget is a concern. I'd rather have this be SG-1's last season than see it silently freeze to death in season 11 due to budget cuts that limit the show's potential. :/

People can show their support through this site, or through Gateworld. There are forums with ideas of how to petition studios and stuff. It's sad news, but if we show continued support to the screenings of SG-1 and SGA on Sci-Fi then hopefully the producers will find another network

i just saw the best episode of Stargate: "Lost City part 2"!
Though the episode had a lot of similarities of the movie "Independence day"
| Quote: | | Like when the ships had to report when they first saw the Goa'uld ships they put the red phone on the intercom and while the pilot discribes what he sees they get destroyed just like in ID4(only in ID with an AWAC and a ball of fire), also when they see no more hope the President decided to stay in the white house as well as the general while the rest left for a safer location just like in ID4(only in ID4 they go to NORAD), and lastly the president Firing the minister of defense, just like in ID4(only in Stargate its that a*hole). I just thought that was funny, it caught my attention. |
Awesome show, best episode by far.

Well, "Lost City" was supposed to be the big-screen movie. Back when the show was going to end after season 6.
When Scifi decided to give season 7 the go-ahead, "Lost City" became a two-part episode instead---they had to cut it down quite a bit, I hear, to get it that way. Some of those cuts made their way into the Atlantis pilot, "Rising".

Yayness. At least we'll have good closure.

Ahem, bump.
Sooooo, anyway. Series finale. Anyone else think that it was somewhat subpar for a series finale? To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
