Just got home, just heard - canceled. Damn it! Why now?

I admit I've been dreading this since I heard they were running the season straight through, rather than showing the second half in January. SciFi wanted to avoid revitalizing the Save Our Show campaigns. Which of course exist already (fight_for_sga), but I don't have much hope here. The showrunners are happy enough to have movies and move onto Stargate: Universe. Five years is a good run. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the SG-1 movies, neither were better than mediocre episodes of the show, so it's hard to hope for something great (especially since Mallozzi & Mullie are writing it...and ow, the thought of no more Binder or Gero or McCullough eps, after this...)

Damn it. I just wanted one more season. I would've been out of it in another year (I never stay in a fandom that long) and while I still would've been watching, it wouldn't hurt. Now...now, it hurts. Couldn't they at least have waited to tell us until after "The Shrine" aired? Instead of spoiling all that glorious anticipation?

We've got 15 eps left. Damn it, they better all be awesome...

So it's not all gloom & doom: friendshipper's got some nice points on the positive aspects of a closed canon (which, as a McShepper, I totally appreciate the end of jossing, as much as it hurts now.) And sheafrotherdon provides warm fuzzies as always.

And I'll find something new soon enough, I always do.

...Even if it won't have David Hewlett's Rodney McKay. *whimper*

I woke up to this this morning, so am still only on my second coffee and trying to process. It'll be alright, but as you say, they'd better go out on a bang. SG1 managed it really well - if SGA doesn't, it's going to make an already sucky situation even worse.

And hey, this at least means we get Rodney McKay all to ourselves....*rubs hands together* No more bad characterisation. No more stories being jossed. Oh, that's definitely an up-side.

I admit that one of my first thoughts was, well, at least they won't be able to bring any romance too far along!

Though I'm really bitter, more than anything else, about the hiatus being taken from us. That would've prolonged the life of the fandom for a couple months - all that agonizingly wonderful anticipation (one of my favorite parts of being in an active fandom is looking forward to future possibilities, and now...a few months more, and then there'll be none. No possibilities for annoying things, but no great things, either...)

And oh, I will miss David Hewlett on my screen!
