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*

May I just say WORD?

No more Binder, Gero, or McCullough eps really depresses me, because I love them so much! And yes, at least give us until next week... *sigh* I'm pretty bummed about this, but I'm trying to stay upbeat.

Just, agh...

Yeah, I think for me, it's not that it's canceled that's getting to me, so much as that it's now, and I wasn't ready...I was thinking the decision wouldn't be until Sept.-Oct., I didn't imagine I'd see this on my flist when I came back from work. So, sorta knocked for a loop...and then, too, I haven't been into SGA even a year; am feeling like I've been cheated out of the full experience...

I know what you mean. It really stinks to really get into a show and have the rug pulled out from under you so soon. I've had that happen to me more times than I can count. SGA is the first time that I've actually been there from the beginning.

Hope you don't mind, but I friended you as I love your fic and your meta.

I've never been in a fandom from the inception, I don't think (save a few anime fandoms where I was at the forefront when they came Westwards) because I am distrustful of shows their first season, so many get canceled. I'm wondering now what I'm going to turn to after SGA, though...

And I see your friending and raise you, uh, a friending! (meant to a while ago and kept forgetting, actually...and thrilled to have you along, the more the merrier *gets all giddy when friended. no really, I'm sad like that*)
