SGA Renewed for Season Five? Aww, man!
NOTE: This entry contains general spoilers for "Stargate Atlantis." The spoilers do wander all over the place, so do read with caution.
____________
Okay, so I already mentioned how I'm not exactly fond of the new SGA. Well, it seems that New SGA has been renewed for a fifth season. I am well aware of the fact that this makes me a "bad Stargate fan," but I was kind of hoping that they wouldn't be.
Hold on there a moment! I can already hear the howls of rage and remarks questioning my sanity.
Well, my reasons, like many, are purely selfish. I was kinda hoping they would get the ax and then would see that maybe they shouldn't have gone around changing the cast so readily. True, Aiden left and things weren't 100% shaken up. But come on! TWO main cast members go off and every-damn-body joins the new cast?
Now, I was definitely one of the people that was rooting for SG-1 to have an 11th season, because why the hell not? But this whole thing about being so pigheaded about having the series continue on to where I am seeing so much of that cast on SGA? Ugph.
I liked the good old days when Atlantis was Atlantis and they didn't have so many ties to Earth. Sure, it's nice to the see the SG-1 crew around, but they've had their time. They have their movie thing. As much as I understand that progress has to take place, I truly believe that this show should have been left to it's own.
I guess that I really shouldn't be surprised, because ever since "Sunday" came out, I've lost a great deal of my cheer concerning SGA. Do I still like the characters I've become invested in, damn skippy! Do I want to see Amanda Tapping push Torri out of the way, have the entire SG-1 crew paraded through the show, and have some new doctor come in to replace Carson, not even a little bit.
Yes, we all know that Carson will be back for a couple of episodes, which is awesome!, and that Elizabeth isn't technically dead, that I know of, but I miss the old show! I missed the show where I didn't have to worrry about that damned Dr. Keller putting the moves on Ronon. I missed the show where it was easier to have Ronon and Carson shackin' up with Rodney, because that is love and you know it.
I miss the occasionally interconnecting parallel shows where SGA had its own space to do its own thing and SG-1 had their's. Now, it's just a bunch of mish mash. I'm not usually one of those people that doesn't want their foods touching one another on their plates, but this is one of those times!
And yes, I know that I should calm the fuck down already, because it's just a television show, but it's one of my television shows. I don't watch that many television programs, due to work and lack of overall interest in watching television. I'd much rather be online or read or writing, instead of simply plunking myself down in front of a televison set.
I got the news like I get all of my SGA news as of late, from Twitter. There were SO MANY people cheering and dancing, that Danielle simply couldn't handle it and I turned the notifications off. There was only so much good cheer I could handle, because I'm still all broken up about my old cast set.
Since I am being honest, I didn't doubt for a second that they'd get renewed. Not even a little bit. I just hoped that they wouldn't, even though I wouldn't want any of the cast or crew to be out-of-work. What with every single member of Team!Sheppard having a baby and all. I just sort of imagined them doing other Stargate-related projects, like movies and cons. Heh.
Now, I sent this article to myself so that I could get the direct link for this entry, and this advertisement was at the bottom of the email:
Could they rub it in any more? I mean, if you're going to cancel a series and have the lineup change before you do, one would think that you'd stop sending out that ad. : (
Anyway, I have drabbles to type and post, and possibly even a bit of roaming to do today. I also need to crosspost this over to IJ, since that is technically my fandom journal these days. It simply made it here first, because I was answering comments here and I knew that everyone and their mothers would be chatting about it here.
*waves*
I hope that everyone's day is going well.
