I just got news that Don S. Davis, General Hammond on Stargate: SG-1, passed away June 29th, due to a heart attack. He was only 65 years old. Don was a very nice and charming man. He was very kind to all of us at the SG track, at Dragon*Con, in 2006. My fondest memory of him was when we gave him the "Thank You For Ten Years!" banner, something I blogged about here.

I really don't know what to say. :( I feel bad for him because I don't think he got much of a retirement. But it sounds like he spent most of his life doing what he loved.

God bless Don and his family.

Here is a note I received from the SG1-Spoilergate, from Don S. Davis's family:

Dear Fans and Friends of Don S. Davis,
So many of you have been touched by not only the work and art of Don S. Davis, but by the man himself, who always took the time to be with you at the appearances he loved, that it is with a tremendous sense of loss I must share with you that Don passed away from a massive heart attack on Sunday morning, June 29th. On behalf of his family and wife, Ruby, we thank you for your prayers and condolences. A family memorial where Don's ashes will be scattered in the ocean will take place in a few weeks, and should you wish to, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in Don's memory.

SG-1 was cancelled today.  [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] theemdash and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

[livejournal.com profile] lyndasty has created a comm for all to discuss: [livejournal.com profile] 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.
