The Closing of a Television Franchise
Yesterday, just a day shy of the two year anniversary of Stargate: SG-1's cancellation, MultiChannel announced that, after five seasons, Stargate: Atlantis has been cancelled.
I feel for all of my friends who this affects. What is horrible about this is how the Scifi execs were reassuring to fans at Comic Con last month. But there is one thing to be sure about Hollywood execs: the only people who are just as two-faced as them are politicians.
For me, I left Stargate a long time ago, not that long after Stargate: SG-1 was cancelled, in fact. lyndasty and I were just talking about how she misses having a show that inspires her. After SG-1's cancellation, it stopped being inspiring to me. I didn't have to make excuses for the show. And, for whatever reason, I couldn't get into SGA, despite that I love a couple of the actors associated with it. Well, only one now. The other being Torri Higginson. I'm sorry for the fans and for the actors, because I don't think they knew this was coming, either. With things already getting cleared for a movie, I think Joe M. and co knew what was going on.
Meh. I don't feel like doing anything today. I haven't, but I feel like continuing that. Don't feel like editing my resume, don't feel like e-mailing people, and certainly don't feel like going to the RP session this week. I already know that I'm going to miss next week and I need to tell the GM today. I'm not sure about subsequent weeks. That's only if I work nights on Thurs in Sept. But if I do, and the RP is at Gameology, then I probably won't miss that much. But, actually, I don't know how late the gift shop is open at the Fair. I bet until ten. Drat.
