Shanks: Another SG-1 movie may not happen

• Can't say this is that much of a surprise but noe the less let me be the first to say "Nooooooooo!!!"

• What can we do to change this? How? I can't believe it's over...and I don't want it to be over :(

• Unfortunately I think this is kind of old news and the producers have been holding off on saying anything because the people who already dislike SGU are probably only going to blame SGU for putting a nix on the SG1 and (I assume) SGA movies. And to be perfectly honest it would seem to me SGU is responsible for shutting down SGA and putting a kabosh on these films. Which, in my opinion is unfortunate because despite what Mallozzi and Wright believe I think a good enough portion of Stargate fans don't like Universe and I don't think it will pick up fans from another source. Once the second half of the first season of SGU is aired and if it happens to be just as uneventful and slow as the first half one would assume that will kill SGU.

  But the only real option to get these movies back to the forefront is for SGU's rating to nosedive and for DVD sales for SGU to be atrocious. And if that were accomplished there is a chance these movies would get going again. However from reading things the producers have wrote they would probably be pissed if the ratings dropped for SGU and then not make those movies just to spite the fans of the first two series.

  I actually would be curious what a poll by this website would get for results if it asked, What would you rather have SGU continue or another SG1 and an SGA movie?
  It would be interesting to see at this point where fans would stand if that were the choice given straight up one or the other. (Admittedly this is not an option presented by the producers but its probably a pretty good assumption that if SGU fails MGM would move to those movies even if these producers at that point would be unwilling to do it).

• “I think everybody’s moving on to a certain point. And with the new show doing well, everybody’s focusing their attention on that. The SG-1 idea is somewhat on the back burner..."

  Dont try denying the fact that a HUGE amount of fans dont give a damn about SGU and have not moved on from SGA or even SG-1 yet. I dont think I ever will without a proper good-bye salute...and a great Jack/Sam scene, obviously.

• Every next one minute of SG1 better than SGU season (and I must say, I like the show), sg1 is something specific, like a symbol, and we must defnd it, please do anything, write petition, infiltrate MGM, anything, but save sg1, a scifi heaven

• That's a shame.
  Expected, but a shame nonetheless.
  I don't think the franchise will survive much longer with SGU as it's only offering.

• and I cannot understand, how is possible to say its end, one day before the first official stargate sg1 will be released?

• @Zach
  Unfortunately you could be right. SGU certainly (somehow) influences decisions that have been made or will be made about future SG movies (SG1 and SGA). I myself would of course prefer the movies to SGU, but I do understand the choice. SGU is a chance for a new start. SG1 and SGA are old. They don't look as fresh anymore. Plus, who's going to watch it? If you see it with their eyes (and that's what I'm trying to do), SGU is the hope to attract new people. Sadly.
  I don't believe it'll work. Stargate already has its image. People have made up their minds about the show. Also the younger ones. What Stargate should have done in my eyes is surprise such people. Stating that SGU is different than the other SG series doesn't help. Why then not make another show? Well, we all want the gate to keep spinning...that's one thing we all have in common.

  A poll would turn out in favour of the movies, that's because the "new" fans are not (yet)as numerous as the old ones.

• I'm still hopeful.

• Oh well then Nice job stargate maker people! do not close Sg-1 really we don’t care... The last 2 movies were not epic or shocking enough to end SG-1 correct.

  Oh and give us total crap the opposite of closeting the series for stargate Atlantis.
  Since you just Killed off Atlantis early put out a crap rush final episode and now I guess what Do not get the stargate Atlantis movie that might have ended Atlantis with some decent dignity. Well now we won’t get to see that will we?

  Oh joy well back to the Battlestar Galactica rip off stargate universe I guess…… No wait I think I will watch Caprica and re runs of Battlestar Galactica ….ya that is better.

  So Why do we need stargate universe again? I am still waiting for that “new fresh direction” “stargate stuff” you said we would get and all I see is Battlestar Galactica rips every week and It is not even doing a good job at it. Why didn’t you just start focusing more on Stargate Atlantis with deeper character stories rather than pumping out this Stargate universe (AKA Battlestar Galactica with stargate stickers on it) junk?
