Multichannel reports that season 5 is the last season for Stargate Atlantis.
-------------------------
Meanwhile, we get a two-hour movie instead of 20 hours. I can't say I'm all that thrilled that Mallozzi and partner will pen the movie.
Sigh. This sucks. Feel free to rant in the comments section.

‘Stargate Atlantis’ Ends Sci Fi First Run After Season 5
2-Hour TV-Movie Greenlit For 2009 As Stargate Franchise Lives On In Features
By Kent Gibbons -- Multichannel News, 8/20/2008 5:59:00 PM
Space drama Stargate Atlantis will conclude its run on Sci Fi Channel after the current, fifth season ends next January -- but the network has greenlit a two-hour Atlantis movie to run after that and says the show will live on as a network franchise.After airing on Sci Fi sometime next year, the untitled Atlantis movie will be sold as a home-video title by producer MGM, Sci Fi told Multichannel News on Wednesday.
MGM this year released two financially successful straight-to-DVD movies made after progenitor series Stargate SG-1 ended a 10-year run of first-run cable episodes on Sci Fi. MGM and the show producers are scheduled to make more in DVDs in future. A movie franchise is also envisioned for Stargate Atlantis.

And I did like the last two years of sg1, Vala was the best. Still, at least we found out now, instead of come January right?

Ficathons anyone? Virtual Seasons anyone? You know there are authors out here on the net that would do a better job than the screw-ups cutting it.

Date: 2008-08-21 05:55 am (UTC)I have to just say, it's KARMA BABY for sacking Paul and Torri, using stunt casting and treating the show like a piece of crap. It was always the ugly stepsister of SG1 - or, stepbrother, given how male and blokey tptb are.
My only hope is that the movie will focus on the Atlantis family - Shep, Liz, Carson, Rodney, Teyla, Ronon, and recurring characters like Zelenka and Lorne. With minimal Keller, Carter or Woolsey. Because that would be just awesome.
I personally can't wait to see where the cast's careers take them after this. (Especially JF.)
