Sad for the fans; sad that, in my case at least, familiarity with TPTB (via their blogs and interviews) bred contempt ("loose lips sink ships" should have been carved in stone at Bridge Studios somewhere *sigh*); and sorry too that I'm not really sorry that the franchise is out of 'their' hands. I think it was time for them to move on, long ago but I do understand not wanting to let employment go even though you're no longer thrilled by the job. Still sometimes you need a good swift kick to get your life going in the right direction and maybe this is the silver lining in this cloud for TPTB? I think it might end up being a good thing for the franchise and regardless of what it looks like now, I don't think MGM will let Stargate languish very long. Along with Bond they've greenlit The Hobbit, they're a working studio again and SG is a valuable asset on the books. For all we know while we've been waiting for the penny to drop for Brad and Co., MGM has been busy figuring out what's next for Stargate.
Still, I thank them for the eps I enjoyed and a clever TV series made from an 'interesting' scifi movie. I thank them for hiring the actors that gave us some great characters and adios. I won't say vaya con Dios because in all honestly, after all of this I will probably not watch anything with TPTB names in the credits again, still I'm sure they'll all land on their feet. They seem good at doing that (indeed aren't M&M and Cooper already working on another show, virtually no down time? they've 'failed' upward it appears. LOL).
