Jul. 16th, 2003 12:05 pmAccording to Gateworld, Stargate just got an 8th season.
Okay, so there's one part of me that's jumping up and down with glee at the prospect of another season. This part of me is sure that they'll have plenty of arc material to fill it with and make it really, really good.
The other part of me, the one that went through the X-Files debacle and is still mistrustful of any series going beyond seven seasons, is bemoaning this as a grave mistake, especially if they're working on Atlantis at the same time. (Remember B&B doing both DS9 and VOY? Not that they wouldn't have screwed up VOY anyway, but still. Also CC trying to do XF and Millennium and XF and the LGM series at the same time; Northern Exposure producers having three series going on at the same time...) The situation even has some similarities with XF...lead actor not wanting to spend so much time with it, network really pushing it, etc. However, I have a hell of a lot more faith in the creative team behind SG-1 than I ever did behind Chris Carter.
I'll be interested to see how this turns out. Cautious, but interested.
