Oops, sorry if I included a spoiler in my last post. * There are no SG-1 season finale spoilers below....* I also fear that the original series will go downhill, especially with Richard Dean Anderson's role being greatly diminished. I read an article a few months ago that said Richard Dean Anderson would still be on the series, but in a greatly diminished role so that he could spend more time with his family. The same article said that Stargate: Atlantis was geared more toward the younger audience than SG-1 currently has and is using younger actors and more action oriented storylines, not to mention the T&A factor to a greater degree than SG-1 did. Unfortunately, I can't find that article again, but here is an excerpt from the Sci-Fi channel website and a couple of links: >From Sci-Fi Channel website.... SCI FI Channel and MGM Television Entertainment have reached an agreement to extend MGM's "Stargate" brand with a new series for the Channel. Production on 20 one-hour episodes of Stargate Atlantis, a weekly series based on the popular "Stargate" franchise, will begin in early 2004. Stargate Atlantis is slated to premiere in Summer '04, in tandem with the Season Eight launch of Stargate SG-1, exclusively on SCI FI. Complete article..... http://www.scifi.com/atlantis/ IMDB.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455/ I did notice that Dr. Elizabeth Weir is being played by Jessica Steen on SG-1, but that character is being played by someone else in SG:Atlantis.
