Goodbye Atlantis - 4:25 15.9MB - Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi says goodbye to Atlantis. Watch it in real time - only on SCI FI.
Okay, read some comments about it on GW, then watched it and well, yeah, the folks were right... well, it's got David Hewlett's last day, Jason Momoa's last day, RAchel Luttrell, Jewel Staite, and hello? I sorta recall some guy named Joe Flanigan throughout the entire series?? So I guess Joe M isn't going to miss him? It just seems, well, tacky, not to include the leading actor of the show in the goodbye. I seriously doubt they'd have done that to RDA (well, considering he was a producer, no they wouldn't).
So if you're watching for Joe Flanigan, once the scene atop the gate is over, that's basically it for Joe except far shots, but gad, so weird he's not even mentioned!

Date: 2009-03-19 01:47 am (UTC)Her comments are on this video. If she's "surprised" by the cancellation after spending 6 of 10 years being told that SG-1 was going to be cancelled, then it was obviousely out of left field.
On the other hand, I still believe and I'll restate it here, five years is very very rare on any kind of tv show at all. There are a few examples like Dr. Who, which has a different lead every year. SG-1 which is and remains the longest running SciFi show, I suppose on American television, because, duh, Dr. Who! Etc... Most shows only last part of one season, a few last more than one season and other shows that have made it past the five year mark are mainstream shows, and at the moment I can only think of two off the top of my head and they would be Law and Order and ER. Which are both worthy shows. (No I didn't forget MASH, it just doesn't count because it was made in a different time.)
I'm reminded now of the cancellation of 90210 which was the result, it would seem, of infighting between the cast and production etc...
I'm also reminded of the times when Flanigan has said, "they weren't interested in my ideas..." Things of that nature. He was writer long before he was in this industry and he's good. He seemed "miffed" as it were at the changes they made to his pitches and he stated at Bedford, I think, at the point of Vegas they no longer wanted to here his imput!
