Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi just posted in his weblog, “…I hung around to do a quickie interview for Canada’s Space which will follow up Tuesday night’s series finale, Gauntlet, with a special Stargate-laden installment of Innerspace. From what I hear, they got A LOT of interviews with Stargate personalities – David Blue, David Hewlett, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Louis Ferreira, Alaina Huffman, Brian J. Smith, and Jewel Staite (to name a few) – who’ll be talking about the franchise and its fans. Don’t miss it!”
Canada’s Spacecast airs Stargate Universe (their SGU page) at 10 PM ET and InnerSPACE follows directly at 11 PM ET (their InnerSPACE page). All of the Stargate shows have enjoyed impressive viewer numbers, and currently, SGU is Space’s “most-watched series.”
“Gauntlet” will be a cliffhanger, unfortunately, which Mallozzi described as being in the same category of cliffhanger as SG-1’s “Camelot,” SGA’s “The Siege II,” and SGU’s “Incursion II,” and gave this “fair warning” about the conclusion of the Stargate franchise “as we know it”: “Gauntlet, in particular, is very touching and its conclusion will no doubt you leave you…among many other things…frustrated, incredulous, outraged, offended, annoyed, vexed, saddened, distressed, bitter, aghast, irritated, unsatisfied, pissed-off, melancholy, miserable, confused, furious, dejected, riled, shocked, heartsick, angry, surprised, exasperated, indignant, enraged, despondent, bewildered, dismayed, incensed, stunned, and grief-stricken.”
Hopefully, seeing the Stargate stars from all three shows afterwards will help ease the Canadian fans’ pain.
So what you are saying is that the show is getting canceled no matter what? I am really disapointed, because i know Season 3 would be even better…
And the SGA you could have pulled at least 3 more seasons i am really disapointed that you are letting down millions of fans i bet that everyone feels the same way i do and we want SGA season 6 to start of with SGU season 3. Excuse my poor english.
I hope that Joseph sees that and i hope if he does he will think of all us fans and reflect on that…
The show is cancelled and the Stargate franchise created by Brad Wright has ended, unfortunately. He announced this on April 17 at the Vancouver Stargate con. 🙁
Solutions: Brad Wright: Stargate Movies Won’t Happen
Even though Syfy cancelled SG-1, SGA, and SGU, it was ultimately MGM’s decision not to continue the franchise with movies or other such productions.
Mallozzi wrote in his weblog a few days back that he thinks that if Stargate were to ever be revived by MGM, it will be a complete “re-imagining” and will not include our television shows’ mythology. Basically, a reboot.
