h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The only downside to this apartment I'm living in is that the cable selection kind of stinks- I get the networks, some christian channel, and c-span. Now, I'm not really disappointed because I don't watch that much TV anyway, but as anyone who's been around me for more than two seconds knows, I'm a huge geek, and the SciFi Channel is the only one that carries my favorite shows. I'm just a bit disappointed because I can't watch them now.

So imagine my joy this morning when I found out that TPTB at the SciFi Channel has released the first five episodes of Season 10 of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis to be purchased on iTunes!






*Happy dance! Happy dance*

Now if they'd just get Eureka, The Amazing Screw-on Head, and the rest of their new stuff out there too, I'd be in broadband heaven!

They put BSG on there too, but only for yanks to dl. I had to obtain my copies illegaly...well untill they release the DVD anyway.

We-el, I think it's legal if you know someone in the US who can give you those BSG episodes... you know, as a gift...

I've obtained a few episodes of said shows, good they are too, what about the rumours that they've cancelled SG-1

I just read that on the internet this afternoon. I was quite suprised! And a little dissapointed as well. I hope its not true.
I havent seen the episodes without Jack yet though... Are they any good?
And can anyone tell me whether Jack and Sam get together in the end? I've only seen up to almost the end of season eight.

Unfortunately, it's true. Yeah, I know. What I don't understand is why they'd sell the rights to put it on iTunes, and then can it on cable? Unless this is a new business practice they're going into... Still don't get it.

Arisztid- you'll have to wait and see, just like the rest of us. Who are, by the way, STILL WAITING!

Sorry for the shout. Just kind of put a downer on the evening.

But they haven't cancelled Atlantis mind you 10 years is long enough

Hell, that's 3 seasons longer than ST:TNG got and that was the most popular Sci-fi show sinse the original ST

Yeah, but I just want them to give it a decent ending! Not like Farscape!

I have no idea about Farscape I was never into it

Who wants to accept a bet that Sam and Jack finally get it together and Daniel goes to Atlantis with Vala

If thats not the way that they end it I'll be extremely dissapointed. Ten years is a very long time, and I'm glad it go to go so so long. If it ends that way then I wont really mind it ending, then at least I'll have a happy feeling left that everything worked out.

The thing I was reading made it sound like maybe they were going to do Stargate movies?

*crosses fingers for a happy ending and that Atlantis gets to go for a long time*

They already did it, it had kurt russel in it

Another one.

Kurt Russel's a bit old to do it now

Actually, MGM said they were waiting for him to age a little- I guess before the series started, the next movie was supposed to happen 12 years after the first one.

But I'd rather see them do an SG1 movie- Samantha Carter prods goa'uld buttock!

Are there any Goa'uld apart from Baal left?

I don't know- there was the guy that liked to eat and sold us out to the Ori. Can't remember his name. But there have to be others.

I found this quote today:

"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all. "

-Isaac Asimov

I realy wish people would read more...

Have you popped into the h2g2 Book Club yet?
