I know its a stupid question, probably cos i'm bored and don't want to unpack my suitcase, but i'd like to know what people think should happen next with SG-1.

Ems :)

the best would do to end SG-1 on a high note ........... i am not sure about a film to conclude the serie (it could be the best or the worse thing for a great show) ... the characters could appear from time to time in the spin off but i can't see them as regular characters. :ponder:

The thing is, if they are going to have a load of the SG1 characters switch to Atlantis they are going to pretty much take over from the Atlantis regulars.......in which case they might as well ditch Atlantis and keep SG1...... :shrug:

I'd say just transfer Daniel Jackson, they don't have anybody like him on the team over there.

And maybe do a few guest spots with the others.

I don't know.

I want it to continue in some form, however if it has to go, then I'd rather it go out on a high, and not cheapen it by shoving characters onto Atlantis.

I agree, SG-1 should go out as SG-1 on a high and not be revamped on Atlantis. Atlantis has a great character dynamic in my opinion and shouldn't be changed. I'd love to see some guest spots, maybe have one or two appear for a couple of eps here and then.

Wouldn't mind a feature film as long as it's the actors from SG-1 rather than the original movie.

Ems :)

Same here, after Angel Season 5 I'm all too wary of shuffling characters. I'd rather see a quality film :D

The occassional guest spot would be fine but I can't see them doing that

I think Teal'c should move to Atlantis. He could teach Ronan a few things about being a mean and moody warrior type :lol:

No wait, it should be Walter. :thumbsup:

Sack Weir and put Walter in charge of Atlantis.

The best thing ever.

I like the idea of Walter moving to Atlantis that could be fun, but i don't think they should get rid of any of the current Atlantis characters cos they w**k so well together. I don't think Teal'c would fit in with Atlantis, Ronon should be allowed to be his own character not another Teal'c.

Ems :)

If they don't get rid of any Atlantis regulars, then the show would become far too character heavy. They'd all be jostling for screen time and that would be detrimental to the show.

Also, Ronan is already a cheap Teal'c knock off. If they found something interesting to do with the character (apart from growling.) Maybe get him a catchphrase like "Indeed." :lol:

I still think that 'if' they transfer any characters it should be Daniel Jackson, he was the lead character in the movie, and only played second fiddle to O'Neill in SG-1 as lets face it RDA was the bigger profile actor and he/his company was involved in production in someway.

I think they will transfer characters to try and bring over viewers of Stargate SG-1 to Atlantis. Can't see why they wouldn't be watching it already.....

I don't know if the actors/actresses however would be up for it though, many of them have been in Stargate for 10 years, now if this was british TV we would have gone through at least 7 different actors as Daniel Jackson through fear of becoming 'typecast'.

I would think maybe Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge would want to explore different projects?

And as Mitchell and Vala are realtively new to the universe from a character development situation I think (although I've never seen them) transfering them over would possibly be more interesting, but still my opinion on this sticks.

IF they, and thats an 'if' because having seen Atlantis season 1, I don't think they really need to transfer any character overs, (but they will imo) then they would probably and with my blessing (not that it matters) bring Daniel over, he's a character which would definately get SG-1 fans watching Atlantis. He is a fan favourite and they know this, due to the outburst which occured when it appeared that they had killed him off at the end of season 5. I think he's possibly the only character they could fit in, they have Rodney so no need for Carter, they have Sheppard and Dex so no need for a Mitchell or Tealc. They have Weir so no need for Landry, and they have Teyla so maybe they would have no need for Vala.

Anyway I'm pretty sure they would probably make room for the transfered character/s. Maybe reduce Carson Beckett's role on par of that of 'Dr. Frasier' on SG-1. Or replace characters, I'm sure if they wanted to bring some people over full time that they would cut down roles or replace.

I don't really mind to be honest, I prefer SG-1 to Atlantis anyway and bringing a character like Dr. Jackson would probably make it more enjoyable for me.

Well THIS story kind of puts the possibility of an SG1 movie right out the window, or at least a movie starring any of the SG1 regulars anyway.

Dean Devlin, why won't you realise it's moved on and gotten better since you left it. <_<

I wouldn't really want to see a Stargate movie if it isn't going to carry on from SG-1 or Atlantis, especially if it were the cast from the original movie. I'm sure they're great actors, but i'm used to the ones from the tv series and the way they have adapted the characters over the past 10 years.

I doubt a movie with the characters from the original movie, would do as well as a movie with the SG-1 cast.

Ems :)

There would possibly have been merit in doing another movie 10 years ago, but now?

Ten seasons is an incredible run, I would hope that they will let it go out on a high :shrug:

It doesn't make any sense - the TV Series was better than the movie. It would be like making another Buffy movie now with Kristy Swanson and co. :weird:

Ems :)

Well I was just wondering if SG-1 is doing so bad ratings wise, if Doctor Who is actually beating it on SCI-FI , cause over on the beeb Doctor Who site, they state in an article that Sci-Fi is happy with its ratings and is going to show Who season 2 from 29th September over there.

It's not a decision based totally on ratings - Farscape still had good ratings compared to other shows when that was cancelled.

I wonder rather cynically if they aired the first half of Season 10 earlier this year knowing that summer ratings are always less than winter ones therefore making a better argument for cancellation?

SG1 gets higher ratings than Doctor Who, but Sci-Fi are happy with the latter as they don't have to pay to produce it, therefore ratings wise it's more cost effective.

Regarding the air dates, the season ten premiere aired a day earlier than the season nine premiere did last year.

The Sci-Friday block of programming that Sci-Fi put out is quite expensive; SG1, Atlantis & BSG. They've obviously put out Eureka this season and seen it do better ratings wise, they're now looking to free up cash, and SG1 appears to be the weaker link, plus it's had an amazing run.

I'll still be interested to see what happens if SG1 maintained higher ratings for the rest of the season though.

Similar(ish) situation.

They knew they had new shows coming (BSG, Atlantis) and had to free up cash. At the time Farscape's numbers weren't as good as SG1's, hence the weaker link was the one to go.

Ironic that SG1 now finds itself in the same situation.

:blush: Could have sworn they said they were airing it earlier this year - I didn't actually check to see it was only by a day! :lol:

Now this is harsh :o

All depends on what the contract between MGM and Sci-Fi stipulates. If it were for example just a matter of them having domain over the name SG1 then they could just change it to something like Stargate Command and Sci-Fi could go F**k themselves.

More likely though is that they have a hold over the entire franchise, which makes everything a lot harder.

The best chance of anykind of continuation still lies in the ratings for the rest of the series. Best case scenario they remain as high as they were for 200. If I were MGM and Sci-Fi came knocking at my door at the end of the season asking for more I'd tell them to f**k off.

Lets just hope everyone in America who has ever watched SG-1 tunes in for the last half of this series to see how it ends.....

200 had some good ratings, which i guess means they attracted an audience who wouldn't normally watch SG-1, so if they enjoyed it (which is highly likely) they might hopefully continue to watch the rest of the season. I guess we'll see after the ratings for ep 7 come out.

Ems :)

More likely that they pulled back some of the viewers that haven't been particularly won over by the Ori storyline but thought they may pull something out of the hat for the landmark episode. Which they did of course. It's unlikely that they'll be able to maintain those numbers as the following weeks will be back to the Ori storyline.
