No, oh FUCK no.

NB: I reserve the right to be pissed off and irrational about this. The thing that gets me is they were angsting about ratings last year, and it was such a relief that the show was renewed for a fifth season, and now that the show is doing well--better than it was this time last year--they're pulling it???

Note to SciFi: You suck.


That, and LeRoi Moore of the Dave Matthews Band died yesterday. DMB was so much a part of my college life, the first time I'd ever been on a newsletter (nancies! ndmbc!), or met other fans of anything. I love LeRoi's sunglasses, and how he'd stand there, all cool, and my friend Mike and I had a weird dance we'd do during the "So Much to Say" > "Too Much" bridge.

I'm calling for the immediate resignation of 2008.

Yeah, I'd like to think that SciFi will do something good with the money and the timeslot, like fund another season of Charlie Jade, but clearly it will be like pro wrestling or something and OMG WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT??? SGA is clearly the best show on television! Also, probably the only place where the Flan will get a full-time gig. NO MORE FLAN???

Plus, this season has been like 100 times better than the last one, and hasn't it been getting, like, better ratings?

*snort!* You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? Two words, my love: Flash Gordon.

Also, it seems to be a requirement of cable TV channels that they wander ever farther away from what they were originally intended to be. Like, TLC was once a channel where you could go to learn about things like science and history, but now it's all makeover shows and crap.

Flash Gordon got renewed??? I'm in the UK, so all my SciFi is from the internet. MADNESS.

I hope they fund David Hewlett's Galaxy Quest-style spoof show, and that Rachel Luttrell stars. That would be the only consolation.

Also, won't a TV movie kind of suck? How do you stretch 40-minute SGA-style plots into a feature-length film? And more importantly, will it include inexplicable teyla/john makeout scenes? *death*

Heh, I don't think so. At least, I hope not :D It was more a general reference to SciFi's... questionable programming choices.

I hope they fund David Hewlett's Galaxy Quest-style spoof show, and that Rachel Luttrell stars.

See above. *siiigh*
