Stargate Atlantis was canceled.

Stargate Atlantis is canceled.

Well, shit.

I miss fandoms like Harry Potter. No one would ever cancel J. K. Rowling.

I'll watch the Stargate Atlantis movies because I love the characters. I feel jerked around by the SciFi channel and I'd cancel my cable subscription if I had one. I'd considered getting cable so I could watch Stargate when it aired.

So I'm canceling my thought to ever get cable. There.

Stargate Ultimate or Stargate Ultimatum or whatsit? Since SciFi just canceled two Stargate shows I have hard time imagining them going for it. Although as my stepdad once said, more sci-fi is always good. But I don't trust the SciFi channel to stick with the show and can't feel upbeat about the idea. If rising costs in Canada are an issue then it would have to be a much cheaper, much crappier show.

Besides. I want my John and Rodney. *squishes them to my chest and won't let go*

Oh, I knew about the 100 eps needed for syndication and that short term monetary gain is most likely the reason for the cancelation. But it still doesn't make sense to me. SGA is a thriving show and it seems just stupid that SciFi doesn't keep it. Battle Star Galactica only has one more 10 eps season and after that, what do they have without SGA?

Plus fans are vindictive and have memories like elephants and this is by far not the first time that SciFi has canceled or butchered a well loved show. I'm sure there'll be lots of people like me and Icarus, who are now very wary of starting in on another Skiffy show.
