Even after being canceled it STILL garners nominations for excellence! And it STILL defies the imagination why this show was canceled in the first place. They gave up on it before it was anywhere near finished just to put on a newer series. The precedent has been set. I hope the actors in the new series realize that as soon as the series is successful…IF it is successful…the rug will be yanked out from beneath them just as it was with the Atlantis cast and crews. Probably because the producers want to go to yet another spinoff. Congratulations on the nominations. They are richly deserved and I hope they win in all categories. The producers and those who failed to fight to keep the show going certainly don’t deserve any credit.
