Yeah...

So, I spent three days not on LJ at ALL because I started college this week, and this happens! I'm sure the multitude of people who have already posted about this have covered all of the things I'm feeling right now (with the possible exception of wanting to just... non-creepily cuddle David Hewlett because his dear twitter posts about loving his job make me so very sad in this context).

I... I wish they'd waited till after the break, or at least after the episode tomorrow. Five aired episodes is NOT enough, in my estimation, to determine whether or not a show is deserving of being renewed! To be completely honest, David's episodes strike me as some of the most popular throughout the demographics, and the fact that they didn't wait until an episode centered on him airs tells me there's not much we can do as fans to prevent this--not that we won't TRY, of course. It just seems like a decision that's less based on audience and more on other factors.

Oh, and I think the single-most pressing concern for all of us right now besides the immediate 'oh show' is losing friends from fandom. I don't plan on going anywhere.

I can't believe that this is going to be a lucrative decision in any way, neither where the dvds nor where the new franchise comes in.

I mean, come on, tell me SGA gets cancelled so we can get the whole new exciting Universe, and I'll have one more good reason not to watch it.

EXACTLY. THAT. THAT'S been on my mind since the worrying pronouncement of 'it would be difficult to go back to producing 40 a year instead of 20.'

Also, how selfish am I that I just keep thinking, 'I'll never get to visit the set...'

I really want to go punch my economy right now; the disparity between the US and Canadian dollar might just have been the catalyst that tipped them over the edge on this. Yet, I kind of hope it WAS, and not the SGW thing, because FUCK World, FUCK their game, I'm not buying EITHER of them if this is the way they treat loyal fans. SUCK IT UP FOR A YEAR, produce a year of both, THEN phase SGA out. They're just losing loyalty and viewers this way, and it doesn't seem like they even care.

Worse comes to worst? JUST WRITE EPISODES WITH FEWER SPECIAL EFFECTS. Break the Star Drive, cut them off from Earth, revert to a less technological time period, SOMETHING...
