No Words

SG-1 was cancelled today.  theemdash broke the news to me on a 10 minute break at Borders, and, I swear to God, after she told me I swear I felt like I had just been told somebody died.  Gateworld gave the sad confimation.  Sci-Fi soon sent out a press release on their Sci-Fi Wire.  But as the fans are, they are not going to take this treatment lying down, nor will Robert C. Cooper. 


Fans have already started organizing. 

There is a Bring Back SG-1 petition.  As of this posting, it has 2,429 signatures.  This isn't enough, of course.  There needs to be more.

A group on GateWorld has started the Tissue Box Campaign. 

More things are in the works.  People you might be interested in following are theemdash and lyndasty.

The Solutions Blog has all the addresses one needs for writing complaints and letters of support.

The whys of this...well, I was speculating before (and others have speculated as well), but I don't really care about the why.  The why doesn't matter.  What matters is the what: What are we, as fans, going to do about this.



Added: 9:32PM:

lyndasty has created a comm for all to discuss: savesg1

Gateworld has reported the ratings for "200" and "The Real World": 1.9 and 1.8 respectfully. That's one heck of a boost.

Well, at least they had a good, long run. Maybe they can take some of that money and put it into bringing back Farscape, right?

I can't count how many times I've cried today about this news, but that Tissue Box campaign made me cry again. That is just too beautiful!!

I already signed the petition and wrote an email to feedback@scifi.com . I just can't freaking BELIEVE this! Do the morons at Scifi Channel HQ have mush for brains? Not to mention ZERO tact?

I felt like someone died too. I casually went to Gateworld today to see if there was anything new, and I swear I almost stopped breathing. Then I got home from work a little while ago and I wanted to cry. I've never been this depressed over a show cancelling. I just hope more people watch now and keep the ratings up like with "200".

Stupid SciFi Channel.

I woke up this morning preparing for a relaxing day of watching my new shiny season 9 SG1 boxset and BSG season 2. I checked gateworld, and may have crumpled into a heap of upset fangirl.
When I want to, I can be obsessive and organised and totally focused on one thing. I foresee many letters being sent in outrage. Calm, polite, but obvious outrage.

I just realised something. There's gonna be a Stargate con in Chicago this weekend. So, we're gonna be able to get Michael Shanks opinion of the cancellation. Although I do feel bad for him having to deal with all those crying fans.
