Yes, the nature of an actor's job is rather transitory, but SGA was a steady job which they all need. All of them have families to support. No one likes the unknown. Not knowing if they'll ever have a weekly income again... Of course, they are a talented bunch but that means diddly in the industry. Lots of talented folks not working.
Sorry to be such a downer, but I like these people -- as much as I feel I know them through the show -- and I worry about them.
It has been argued that SGA was cancelled due to production costs and actor's salaries, but they stuck with SG-1 long after that became an issue. Nope. Sounds like Sci Fi and possibly Wright just wanted to play with their new toy and don't care that they're messing with lives, or care what their audience thinks or feels. From what I can tell of Sci Fi they should stick with a relatively sure thing, because they don't have much else going for them. Canada's equivalent is SPACE and it's wall to wall SF series. Sure, mostly imports but still... No wrestling, or reality shows or whatever the heck Sci Fi airs. Geez. :(
