A third Stargate series? Man, they couldn't sustain quality on the second series for more than a year.
Maybe they're hoping to have a SciFi thursday or Tuesday as well as a Scifi Friday.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Cohen "says MGM 'intends' to develop a theatrical movie 'derived from the series over the last 10 years'
Yeah, they've said that before. ("SG-1 is ending this year! And then, a movie!")

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Not to mention Dean Devlin's plan for (a) sequel(s) to the original movie. I think I've mentioned it before but he detests SG1 and thinks they made a mockery of his original movie.

From the tone of the article, I'd say they were shooting for Sci-fi Monday through Friday, with repeats Saturday and Sunday. All Stargate!
Yeah, they've said that before. ("SG-1 is ending this year! And then, a movie!")
Right? Though, they do address that in the article...
A theatrical movie based on SG-1 would not have to wait for the series to end -- though the show's producers have been eager to do one for years, and point to the TV series' continued success as the reason it has yet to come to pass. Nor does it mean the show can't continue after a film is released. Cohen said that feature films would "not in any way impair the television run" of Stargate SG-1.
We'll see.

OK, see, when I saw the movie during it's theatrical release, I thought it was abysmally bad, so I don't have any sympathy for Dean on this one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In the movie's commentary they make a point of noting that they're not involved with the TV series. Whatev.

I rather prefer Jack O'Neill in the show to the movie. But that's to be expected, anyway. I did like the movie's version of Catherine Langford, though...
Still, when I first saw the movie I wasn't all that impressed. It's pretty bombastic.

Thank goodness they instead chose to devote themselves to lofty art films. Whatever would we have done without the refined cinematic vision involved in an exploding Empire State Building, exploding Madison Square Garden (with baby Godzilla giblets!), or icicle-strewn Statue of Liberty?

Add my eeeeee! to yours, Strega.
Although, there were already a lot of people who thought the show was too grim. Grimmer and darker? Wow.
