“I guess that seals the fate of the wraith…or the Asgard? =/

LOL – no chance of that – it wouldn’t make for a movie that anyone would want to watch! The “extinction” in the title refers to threatened extinction of the human race from one of the old enemies such as the Wraith. After all, they came close to trashing earth in the series finale; who’s to say that more “super hive” ships aren’t on their way to Earth?

I move beyond all the fandom stuff when it comes to whether I will watch SGU, SGA, or SG-1 productions. I am a consumer – and a member of a demographic that TPTB have chosen to either ignore or more accurately, have thrown under the proverbial bus with the cancellation of SGA. The “installation” of SGU as the replacement for a show that I was willing to spend my money on through cable subscriptions and DVD purchases doesn’t sit well. SGU as a concept was supposed to team up with SGWorlds to get into the pockets of under 30 males and make more money for TPTB. Unfortunately for them, the company developing SGW bellied up in the horrible economy and SGW is on hold or dead. So, now SGU must fill the deep pockets of TPTB and I doubt that will happen. However, it doesn’t affect how I consume TV or DVDs; I will not watch SGU but I’ve pre-ordered SGA Season 5 to add to every other DVD they’ve produced. I will believe the SGA movie will be produced when it starts filming. If it’s a “Keller-Lovathon” I’ll simply ignore it and not purchase it. Nothing against Jewel Staite; but these guys have a hero-worship of her that is beyond ridiculous (and a need for the geek to get the girl to re-write their own horrible high school years or something) and they can’t write women for crap. Rodney McKay is one of the best characters on TV in recent memory; he doesn’t need changing or validation from a pretty girl, FCOL. Anyway, as a consumer of SG products, SGU is out, SGA and SG-1 are a go for me depending on the focus; I’ve watcher and purchased them all so far, but my loyalty is not guaranteed since, to be pragmatic about it, TPTB damaged that loyalty with the horrible handling of the SGA cancellation and ignorance of their true demographic.

@buddybear – like I said – the writers, particularly Gero, are making The Geek (who isn’t really The Geek, but they’re guys and can be blind like that – we girls love McKay and his snarky self) get the gorgeous girl – NO MATTER WHAT – to avenge themselves, relive their youth, since they didn’t get the girl in high school – or something along those lines. Turning SGA into a soap opera was a damned poor choice that they could have gotten themselves out of very easily-move Keller to the background and The Team to the foreground. But, they chose to continue their Keller/Staite worship (AGAIN, this is not Jewel Staite’s fault – it’s the fault of men making BAD choices) and the idea of her from Firefly or something. Different characters; different casts; bad choices. And, since they can’t write women characters (esp. Keller – annoying and weak) in general, it only adds to the cringe factor when it comes to McKay/Keller. AND, when I asked my hubby what he thinks of Keller, he says “Feh.” Says it all, really.

Thank god someone has finally seen sense and decided to let us experience more Atlantis and the gorgeous Ronan Dex. Just watched the last episode of season 5 already in withdrawal. Must say so far my fav is Sadeta love the rifle lift with the foot. Love the series. cant wait

I echo the above statement this does suck an SGU never will I watch it, I really just dont want to.An Syfy well you have F all on thats interesting. BUT WHERES the movie NOTHING AT ALL for months this is a disgrace an as usual SGA has been shelved for SGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope PTB do read this messages an realise how p’d off fans are. Atlantis SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CANCELLED but as it was an the movies were promised that should at least be happening, my view of those in charge can not get any lower it is already in the gutter along with SGU!

I don’t believe the movie will ever happen if it hasn’t begun by now. It’s been too long–the cast has moved on, and TPTB are too invested in ‘Universe’ to the exclusion of all else.
