They've been anticipating the end each season for a few years now.

They thought it would end when Showtime cancelled it after season 5, but then SCIFI picked it up.

Then, later, the makers were going to finish with season 7, do a movie, and then concentrate on Atlantis. But, as it got picked up for an 8th season, they turned the movie idea into the season 7 "Lost City" finale.

Then, thinking season 8 would be the last one, they tied up most storylines in that (Go'auld, Replicators, etc). Yet it was then picked up for a 9th season, causing them to give it a fresh start with some new characters & enemies.


It's already had various reprieves. It had to end sometime. Besides, it's on its 10th season! I think the makers have said for a while that they want to carry on with a movie(s) after the show ended.

when you watch the 200th ep there is a big hint in that ep as to what they where going to do.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Hmm, I wasn't over impressed with E200....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Same here

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I actually quite enjoyed it, though I also enjoyed the 100th episode wormhole extreme wich had a similar feel to it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

E100 actually had a reasonable storyline to back it up, E200 just seemed completely disjointed and self indulgent. I'm sure it was fun to make, and great for those involved, but to me, as a fan of the series proper, I found it to be a waste of an episode.

the whole idea was to poke fun at the show i found it great fun - especially seeing the 2 farscape people back where they belong :)

Just a heads up season 2 of Battlestar Galactica is out on dvd today

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I hear there will be some more babylon 5 - well 3x30min shows straight to dvd to begin with. Each show will centre around one charater.

So be on the look out for Babylon 5 : The Lost Tales....

AKA "Babylon 5 - The Cash In" or "Babylon 5 - How To Make New Shows When Not All The Cast Are Alive Any More". :erm:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

In the memory of shadows was pulled mainly because JMS wouldn't replace the cast with more 'famous' people. And I doubt he will replace the dr(or zathras if he was in the new stories) with another actor, I suspect the dr will just not be in it.

Mind you I think I'll wait 'till I've seen this one until I pass judgement.

After a week off, Stargate SG-1 season 10 & Stargate Atlantis season 3 are back on tonight in the US (episode 8 of each), so should be available in the usual places afterwards.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, they're only back for three weeks though, then they take a mid-season break until 2007.
