Oh you heathen how darest thou knocketh stargate! BURN AT THE STAKE!!!!!!

And BSG is actually a good series I don't know where yoru getting the porn part from lol.....only seen one ep eh?

[Atrocities]

Any one who knocks Stargate is to be hung from the nearest tree with a sign around their stretched necks that reads: "Anti Stargate member"

BSG is surprisingly good. I have to admit it, the shows just kept getting better. The ending episode was especially good with a sudden ending that even surprised the hell out of me. And that does not happen very often. (The ending of the Sixth Sense was the last thing that surprised me.)

There are people who don't like Stargate?!?!
To those people, I say:
Jaffa, kree!

I think Stargate is one of the best sci-fi shows around. It's got a good mix of science fiction, comedy, and human drama.
Same goes for BSG. (well, maybe not so much of the comedy. of course, i've only seen up to the episode where Starbuck goes missing)It tells a real good human drama.

Fear naught the end of Star Wars movies. There is still the TV show coming*.

*Disclaimer: This is not a joke, it is real as far as i know.

[Atrocities]

Based on the success of the KOTOR games. Should be interesting. I also read many years ago that they want to do a series on the post ROTJ era. Which will they do if they do one. Randallw the rumors are very very very old. It would be nice, I guess.

[Aris_Sung]

Is it going to be an animated show?

Set when? After clone wars?

Scott Bakula: Well, I'm disappointed, and everyone involved with the show is disappointed. Obviously we're all very emotionally attached to the show and we're all having a great time making the show. So you would like that kind of a situation to continue.

Unfortunately we don't fit into UPN's business plan and really haven't for the last two and a half years. So that's a situation that's out of our control and ultimately has no reflection on our show or the quality of our show. Or the commmitment of all of our fans.

It's hard not to take it personally, but in the end we got one more season than UPN wanted to give us, thanks to Garry Hart [President, Paramount Television Production], so we feel lucky about that.

Proof positive about UPN's dogma. They are totally focused in one direction, low rent, and well Star Trek was simply too pricy.

God I Hat UPN.

After reading Scott Bakula's statement, I agree with you Atrocities.
Now, that it's getting rid of Enterprise, I guess UPN really is now a Useless Programming Network.

From the chat with Scott Bakula Link

Michiel: Is there anything we can do to save Star Trek: Enterprise from ending?

SB: I don't have a clear answer for that. Obviously we want everyone to tune in and watch the last shows because we're extremely proud of them and we're anxious to share them with the fans. It would be a disappointment if there was a dropoff in viewership because of the cancellation. But the reality is, as I see it, we're a little bit like a ship in a storm with no safe harbor. There really are no interested executives left at Paramount or UPN or CBS who would be willing to fight for the show. Everyone at Paramount who had history with the franchise is gone. So I wouldn't even know who to tell you to complain to, because there's not anyone who really is interested. We've fallen between the cracks in the changing of the guard.

I can not say it enough.. WTF happened? Yuppie punk dumbasses have been given the reigns of a franchise twice thir average age and they are pissing it away for fear factor and Survivor reality shows. I am sickened to my core. So this is how it ends. The mighty Star Trek franchised ended because the no one is left to stop it from slipping through the cracks. This is what I would call a nitemare.

Musings:
God am I dead? Have I slipped from life into this purgatory of hell where everything seems wrong. A warped anti-reality where ones worst fears are realized? God what has happened to my universe?
