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 think it's got everything to do with the fact that the demograph everyone wants needs T&As to come around, and SGA is more of an estrogen feast. Women are always getting shafted because advertisers think that men still make all the shopping decisions.

This is the third show of mine they've canceled, and I can't even find any decent reruns of anything when I look at tvguide, so I'm glad I didn't call for cable like I'd planned. No Atlantis, no me. I'll wait until some dummie prereleases the Atlantis movies and get them off the net. *sticks tongue out at SciFi and NBC*

Guanomunchers.

Post redone for two window Sydrome. For the record, Showtime canceled Poltergeist the Legacy and StarGate SG-1 before Sci-Fi did, but Showtime's got Dexter, so I've forgiven them.

OH MY GOD. I just found this out from your post as the first thing I saw after being offline. I'm gutted, in fact I'm actually crying :-(

Damn you sc-fi.

One of the things that made life bearable is just...gone.

*hugs* What will make things still bearable will be the media and creative endeavors that we will continue to make, and the fact that we'll never get Jossed because there won't be any proof that we're wrong, when we write scenarios that include the Big Damn Gay Love we all know is really going on.
