Bryant Burnette 654 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I know there are some Stargate fans on this board, so here's the bad news:http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/08/ista...l_end_thi.shtmlIt is getting hard to be a long-running sci-fi show these days.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Terrific show. Terrible news.Only had half the lifespan of its predecessor. I remember Showtime cancelled SG-1 after five seasons, but the Sci-Fi Network picked it up for another five. Bad move, they should have gone somewhere else.The new movie sounds promising though, and means a new Goldsmith score! I just got my signed copy of Continuum in the mail today, yay!

Ollie 1,059 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I never watched the show but I did find D & E's film mildly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I enjoyed the show when I could manage to watch it. It was a happy mix of Star Trek, The X-Files, military prowess, and pseudo-history/archaeology. The film was entertaining, but felt the show really took advantage of a good premise and really ran with it, rather than dwelling the limited view D & E originally had.

Morlock 11 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've never seen more than a few minutes of the show. The acting, dialogue and production value I was exposed to did not sit well with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 That's right, Morlock. No class. I always give up after a couple of minutes. Joey likes it, huh. Makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Alex I don't think you even know what "class" is. Morlock if you want any credibility sometimes you need to stay quiet.If you didn't like the show, thats one thing, even the acting comment, which doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but to say it had poor production values, well, this is just another reason you have zero cred.Joe, who loves the latest DC of Bladerunner.

John Crichton 4 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I neve understood the appeal of Stargate.Ditto. And I have watched a little seeing as how I'm a huge fan of the major shows that have been broadcast around it (Farscape, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica).

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Stargate, BB? You really like everything, don't you? I don't really know what that means, Alex.I'm not a huge Stargate fan. Primarily, I've seen the first four seasons of SG1 (which are really good), and have only dipped into the rest (including Atlantis) here and there. Eventually, I'll get around to watching it all, if for no other reason than the fact that I'm a fan of sci-fi tv in general and would like to be able to talk knowledgeably about it with other sci-fi tv fans.If that annoys you for some obscure reason, I'm terribly sorry.

A24 4,331 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It was an embarrassing show and I'm glad it's over. It's only for those who dwell with bad taste: The scorpion King 4, The Mummy 7, 28 Weeks Later, etcetera.With other words: No class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Every thinkable aspect of the Stargate show is as unremarkable and unambitious as Walker, Texas Ranger. It's for people that name McDonalds a classy restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
