| I do miss Summer since Sarah Conor was discontinued.
This show though, is too much of a Batman rip-off. I guess that's the idea. If WB or DC is too concerned with doing a live action Batman TV show (they don't want to dilute the property? ), then I guess someone else will. But then again it is not easy to pull it off nicely. So we'll see.
BTW that's not exactly sci-fi either. So while we're at it, I admit I've been watching Nikita, which is a thriller TV show with government consipiracy stuff. Maggie Q is hot. There I said it  |

| Yes C:Amie, they cancelled it back in 2009 after only 31 episodes...sad.  After that Summer Glau went to the show Dollhouse. I just started watching the second season and can't wait to see her character in this show.   |

| I'm sorry C:Amie, I know your pain... it was right around the time the latest Terminator movie came out and I guess the TV show was screwing up the movie canon, but the last movie really isn't in the original canon anyway... I just don't get it. |

| I knew it was on the chopping board, I didn't know that an axe decision had been made. The ratings were the problem, I remember reading a discussion on them at the end of the last series. Just look at the numbers:

| So now we have no big budget Sci-Fi TV show anymore, at least not until that BSG show comes?
I do hope Stargate series come back. The backstory is still good, but they may have gone too far, literally. Sure, SG-1 was pretty much stuck inside the SGC, but thanks to Richard Dean Anderson we can absolutely connect with these characters as everyday people living on Earth. Atlantis was a bit far from Earth, but it still had a good five-season run. SGU is simply too weird for too many people. It was almost like a fan service to make that show. Anyone who hasn't watched enough Stargate would have a hard time relating to the characters, much less appreciate the situation and drama. I hope one day the Stargate series can come back to the SGC and have a much better "next generation" than seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1.
Meanwhile I'll need to re-watch SG-1 on DVD, perhaps buy Altantis on DVD as well. Otherwise my Sci-Fi TV days are over, for now. |

I'm not sure I completely agree that they went too far, or that it was in accessible for non-SG fans. If anything I would say that Atlantis was more inaccessible with its shameless and constant harking back to SG1. Perhaps I am a minority with this view though, I have another friend who feels the same way. He is a huge Atlantis fan where as I could never get on with SGA.
Now that this is to cease, the only production sci-fi that I'm watching will be Dr. Who. It's almost not worth me owning a TV!
Dr. Who Xmas special 6pm 25th December!

| That's just it, I did not see it on the BBC website. Oh well.
You should at least check out the very first episode since you are such a fan of Dr. Who...It is a spin-off of that show you know... |

The cross-over episides irritate me.
Anyway, here is the good news you have been waiting for Yoldering:

| Over the Christmas/New Years Holiday I decided I wanted to catch up and finish the last season of BSG...I have a few episodes left and I just want it to end... Maybe it will all work out but I don't think they should have made the second half of the last season. Seems like they were trying to milk a dead cow...  Edited by Yoldering 2011-01-02 1:33 PM
