They started taking the show in directions I didn't particularly like ages ago. I have actually already reached the point at which it doesn't matter if I don't catch the show. For the last two weeks here in the UK I haven't been able to watch the new season six episodes because my grandson has been here and I have been sentenced to watching CBeebies, Teletubbies, Bob the Builder, Tom and Jerry, Ed, Ed and Eddy etc. I didn't really miss watching the Stargate eppys at all. Anyway, Sky One will repeat them eventually.
I will also watch Season 7 as I have watched Season 6. I enjoy some things and others switch me off entirely. As you say, there will be other shows....I'm not sure that they will come up with a concept which will grab me quite as much as the Stargate one did and I still believe that the actual concept has loads of untapped mileage, but I strongly believe that Gekko productions are not the people to tap into that. Someone else with a vision beyond a space soap opera perhaps, but not the present production team. I have watched this concept turn into a joke, with people raving about the Stargate actors as though they had turned into gods....and some of them certainly behave as though they DO believe in their own godhood. I can't abide the fandom **** that's going down because it detracts from what has been and could be a damn good sci fi show.
End of rant.......for now!
