"The cast and crew of Stargate Atlantis were honored with nine awards, including Best Dramatic Series."
AND THEY AXED THIS FOR SGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock on SGA you were and are best.
"AND THEY AXED THIS FOR SGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
1. That's not a fact, it's just speculation.
2. How do you know SGU won't do better when it becomes eligible? It's got Robert Carlyle, Ming Na, Lou Diamond Philips and what sounds like a very promising group of newcomers, there's nothing to say it won't win awards too.
Congrats to SGA, SG:Continuum, and to Amanda for winning best female lead performance too. Hopefully we'll be saying congratulations to SGU in a year or two.
that is awesome news even though stupid people at sci fi and nbc kicked sga to the curb it is still getting nominated and winning awards!!. congrats to SGA and keep on winning those awards ill continue watching my dvd sets.
Sgferrit, your welcome to your opinion, as I am to mine, in answer to your questions.
“AND THEY AXED THIS FOR SGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. That’s not a fact, it’s just speculation"
You can believe what you want to believe, SGA is axed an we now have (B)SG U, IMHO I believe that it was axed in favour of "THIS" and I've lost my favourite weekly show.
"2. How do you know SGU won’t do better when it becomes eligible? It’s got Robert Carlyle, Ming Na, Lou Diamond Philips and what sounds like a very promising group of newcomers, there’s nothing to say it won’t win awards too"
The thing is I don’t care, I'm not watching it, NOT INTERESTED, don’t like Robert Carlyle never really have, don’t know LDP all that well and don’t know any of the rest, also I don’t like the look of the cast line up or the bio's IMO there horrible, again I don’t like docu style filming, don’t like dark and depressing, didn’t like BSG. Therefore there is nothing I like about SGU, so I choose not watch.
Sorry SGA was my favourite show and I'm so please they have won these awards the cast & crew deserve it for giving us 5 awesome seasons for me this is Stargate, others can have SGU not for me.
yay for everyone that won! :D
(special YAY for amanda winning for sanctuary's 'requiem'!! :D)
Way to go SGA congrats to the cast you deserve it, what a HUGE mistake they made in dropping SGA for SGU Stupid MOVE.
I hope that SGU bottoms out because I for one as well as a lot of my friends and family will not be watching it. They did IMO ax SGA for SGU and then tell us that we will get a movie or 2 RIGHT I won't be holding my breath they just told us that to get us to watch SGU. Well I hope it hits rock bottom and from what I have heard about it I'm sure it will LOL.
Congratulations to all the winners--and especially to the cast and crew of SGA. Well deserved, Atlantis!
And I have to say that I agree completely with the comments by Atlantis Rocks. Couldn't have said it better myself!
