The Gate is dead :(
Aug. 21st, 2008 01:53 pmWell.. it's an early announcement, but yes.. my favourite show that's been a weekly fixture for the past 13 years of life has officially been canceled. There's been god eps and bad eps, but on the whole it's been something I've looked forward to every Stargate night eve!
I was a little skeptical about SGA when I first heard about its conception, but after the 2nd episode it had me hooked, and found me some very exceptional actors! Well I guess the good thing is that many of these SGA actors have got a great fan base and a few of them have even started thier own little side projects! So good on them!
Anyhoo... Now that we know, it'll only make these last few episodes dearer to my! But for the future... What am I going to do now that the 13 year run of Stargate in general has ended!

‘Stargate Atlantis’ Ends Sci Fi First Run After Season 5
2-Hour TV-Movie Greenlit For 2009 As Stargate Franchise Lives On In Features
By Kent Gibbons -- Multichannel News, 8/20/2008 5:59:00 PM
Space drama Stargate Atlantis will conclude its run on Sci Fi Channel after the current, fifth season ends next January -- but the network has greenlit a two-hour Atlantis movie to run after that and says the show will live on as a network franchise.
After airing on Sci Fi sometime next year, the untitled Atlantis movie will be sold as a home-video title by producer MGM, Sci Fi told Multichannel News on Wednesday.
Longtime Stargate writers and producers (and Atlantis show runners) Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie will write the Atlantis feature script. Other details, such as how many cast members would participate or who would direct, were not immediately available.
"We're excited to tell Atlantis stories on a bigger canvas,” Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, co-creators of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis and currently executive producers on Atlantis, said in a statement. “The successes of the two original Stargate [direct-to-video] movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum have shown us the opportunities that the movie format offers. We have plans for both SG-1 and Atlantis to remain vital as we expand the franchise."
