Sci-Fi cuts Season Eight short?
SEPTEMBER 13, 2003

Season Eight may come in two episodes short, according to an announcement at this weekend's Gatecon Stargate convention in Vancouver. The Sci-Fi Channel has ordered an unusual 20 episodes for Stargate SG-1's eighth and potentially final year, reports say -- two shy of the usual 22-episode run.

Reasons for the short order are not yet known. But the effect will be that production on the season will likely end late in the summer, rather than the traditional early fall. Because of this, Gatecon 2004 is scheduled for July 15 to 18, 2004.

We'll let you know more as we find out! Season Eight is expected to begin production next February, with a premiere in June.
