Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis Renewed

scifi451 writes "Both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis have been renewed for another season, 9th and 2nd respectively. All of the key cast members are coming back for Atlantis, where as SG-1 stars are in negotiations, with Amanda Tapping expecting a baby in March right as filming begins. Also Richard Dean Anderson might look for an even further reduced role in the show. More news can be found here: Gateworld & Scifi-Wire"

Indeed. This is a cause for much celebration.

Woot

first post? Probably not but i'm glad Atlantis has been renewed.... It took me a few shows to get into it and i'm ignoring the fact the canadian guy is always yelling and that the doctor is a compete and utter wuss with his fake Irish accent..

Ok.. I think I just ruined the series for myself.

Richard Dean Anderson has a reduced role?

[Xpilot]

Will he disappear for most of the season? You know, be stranded on some strange world without a stargate, until he builds one out of bamboo, chewing gum and duct tape with his trusty Swiss Army knife...oh, wrong series.

Slashdot ruined this for me

[Prince Vegeta SSJ4]

A while back someone on slashdot pointed out to me that Colonel O'neal (sp?) was MacGuyver. I can no longer watch SG-1 with a straight face. I'm always waiting for him to create an event horizon or temporary wormhole out of a bubblegum wrapper or something.

It's called SCIENCE FICTION. This may surprise some, but a lot of geeks enjoy science fiction.

My wife and I are excited, who's the other guy?

I don't know, but he might be the reason your wife's so excited

You know she just watches the show for Daniel Jackson. He's geeky and cute and you can hardly notice the episodes where they try to cover up his rather large belly by making him hold a sweater or wear a huge belt. He's dreamy.

My husband has accepted my crushes on fictional characters.

Re:Richard Dean Anderson has a reduced role?

[metlin]

Nah, Daniel would just get himself killed. Just like the old times.

good Doctor had to die

Well, I'm just about to undertake watching all this on DVD.

Thanks for the spoiler warning, you lone gunman fuck.

"when The Next Generation aired, many of the same people said the same things about that show."

Yeah , and they were right. Stock stereotypes right up to and including the last episode. But then you can say that for every star trek series including the original with its Dashing Captain, Logical 1st Officer, Comic Relief Scotsman, Irascable Doctor and Token Black Woman.

Re:Smart decision

[mforbes]

I realize this is going OT, but wth, I've got karma to burn.

I simply don't understand the attraction so many /.ers have to Farscape. The plots are overly simplistic (although at least they're better than Hercules in Space, aka Andromeda), and frankly-- I got tired of watching Jim Hensen's muppets years ago. The acting is flat, the directing is stale, the special effects are standard industry fare (by which I mean that they don't suck, but they're not about to win any awards either), and the premise is just looney.

Each time I've tried to watch that show I've wasted a good fifteen minutes (as much as I could stand before I started throwing bricks at the TV) of my life that I can never get back.

I'm still waiting for MacGyver to do a guest appearance. :-)

Mmmm near, far, near, far; distance matters not when you use the force.

You fool! What if she has a daughter??? Your dreams are utterly reborn!

Dude, you forgot the eyebrow. It just doesn't work without the eyebrow.

It's not a star gate

[seann]

It's a far gate.

It has nothing to do with that syndicated television show, or that really good movie.

That I haven't seen.

But it's a good movie.

Re:Nooo not SG-1 :(

[Drachemorder]

" what happend to SG-2 SG-3 SG-4 ... 12"

The other SG teams are the Stargate equivalent of the red-shirt crew members in Star Trek. If you see an SG team other than SG-1 in an episode, you can be pretty sure there are going to be fatalities before the show's over.

No, but O'neill says there will be pie.

Urgo: "I want to live. I want to experience the universe and I want to eat pie!"
Jack: "Who doesn't??"

Teal'c: "I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello"
Jack: "Call Daniel."
