Default Stargate Alantis canned

Although Stargate: Atlantis wasn't reupped for a sixth season, the Sci Fi Channel has announced plans to launch a second spinoff of the cult hit, titled Stargate: Universe.

The new show will premiere early next year as a two-hour TV movie, before sliding into its regular weekly time slot next summer.

Stargate, which has been airing on the tube in one form or another since 1997, is the cable network's longest-running franchise.

After debuting on Showtime, SG-1 came over to Sci Fi following its fifth season. Based on the film, the TV version centered on a secret military team whose mission was to probe the uncharted stargates throughout the galaxy. It ended its 10-season run in 2006.

Stargate: Atlantis, blasted off in 2004, continued that story as a team of explorers found their way into a new galaxy and encountered an enemy called the Wraiths. That show will wrap up with a two-hour movie this season.

The Universe action will be set in deep space and follow a new team of scientists and military men who stumble upon an ancient unmanned spaceship.

No word on casting, but producers expect guest appearances from the SG-1 and Atlantis ranks.





The true reason I think is to fit even more commercials.

Agreed. Some episodes of Atlantis were ok, but SG-1 was a lot better. It's the characters that make the difference, The Canadian guy does not hold a candle to DR. Jackson. And I hate that Dr. Weir bitch. gimme Samantha Carter anytime. She got smarts that I like.

I think that five seasons is more than enough for Atlantis. It was always worse than SG1, well... at least worse than 6-7 seasons of SG1, because after that the original series became dreadful.

I've only seen the movie Stargate, never saw any of the shows. Didn't know people still watched them, but apparently they don't or it wouldn't have been canceled.

I Disagree. IMO the first 6 or so seasons were decent, but there was still character development the whole time. The stories got better Once the prometheius was built & the Ori sub series Season 8-10 was just fantastic.

I feel the same way. I thought the movie was alright, but after watching the first 2 or so episodes of SG-1, I saw no point in watching anymore.

A couple years back, SciFi was showing the best ten episodes of Stargate SG-1, as voted by the viewers. Those were some gold episodes. My favorite of the bunch was when O'Neill and Teal'c get trapped in a time loop and live the same day over and over and over again for something like 3 months. Hilarious.
