gateslackerHoly Hannah, could there have been crappier timing! One minute I am watching the 200th episode with all the excitement that accompanies that special occasion and also having a great time with Gate, as usual. The next moment I learn that it has been cancelled! Do what? What a slap in the face to all of those folks who work hard to make the show, who I read learned about all of this on the eve of 200's airing, and to all of us who eagerly await its airing from week to week!!! But, I suppose that is just sci-fi channel's standard operating procedure. It's almost as though that once they made that "longest US sci fi show" distinction it was time to kick it to the curb ASAP! I have been a science fiction fan for my whole life but I have just about had it with the Sci-fi channel. Shame, too, since I happen to like Atlantis, BSG, and may eventually like Eureka. But, by golly, we have to keep that sci-fi staple, wrestling, going so I am sure something just had to go! Question is, am I going to keep watching what is left of the good sci-fi offerings, few though they may be? Right now, with a backlog of Atlantis eps that I still haven't watched, I am not so sure.
Of course I have always realized that the show couldn't go on forever and ever amen. But to end it without ending it will be a travesty. Plus, I feel really bad for CB and BB. Ten years or not, I have been in the process of just getting to know them and I like what I see. During the episode "200" when Martin Lloyd says, "the movie's back on!" I was wondering if this was a way of telling the fans something we didn't know. But, really, how could that be since it was filmed before this bombshell announcement (and yes, even though I was expecting it at some point, this announcement was really a bombshell). I can only hope that Martin was being prophetic. I feel the same way I did when TNG was cancelled. I would rather see a show on a weekly basis than wait years and years for a feature or even a television film but, naturally, I will take what I can get!
In any case, Gate has been an enjoyable part of my life for quite some time. Although I know it's only a TV show, I am seriously bummed. :(
