Sci-fi & More TV Musings

It’s been awhile, I’ve been lazy, and busy too…..

>> Google is coming out with a phone which anyone can create applications for(I don’t know how Google will handle rights in regard to the applications)

>> I recently got the new star wars video game: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed which is pretty awesome aside from the fact that it doesn’t have Xbox Live Multiplayer, guess for MP I have to stick with Jedi Academy…. The Story for Force Unleashed is looking very good.

>> I saw Ahmadinejad(”President” of Iran) on Larry King last night…. He IS a VIOLATOR OF HUMAN RIGHTS, contrary to the impression he gave…

>> Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary premieres next Friday 10/3 @ 9 PM (NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“The SCI FI Channel is calling it quits with Stargate Atlantis — or
at least in its current format — the network confirmed in a press
release today. The spin-off series will conclude in January with the
current, fifth season, and will be followed with a 2-hour Atlantis
movie (story).

Despite the cancellation, series creator Brad Wright tells GateWorld
that, looking ahead, the Stargate franchise is as strong as it has
ever been.

SCI FI will have the exclusive worldwide television premiere of the
movie, which MGM will subsequently release on DVD. The movie does not
yet have a title.

Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, executive producers and showrunners
on Atlantis for its final two seasons, will pen the film.

“We’re excited to tell Atlantis stories on a bigger canvas,” series
creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper said. “The successes of the
two original Stargate DTV movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum have
shown us the opportunities that the movie format offers. We have plans
for both SG-1 and Atlantis to remain vital as we expand the
franchise.”

“We share in the producers’ enthusiasm to move forward in this
direction and we look forward to a strong and continued relationship
on Stargate Atlantis in this new format,” said Thomas Vitale, SCI FI’s
Senior Vice President Programming & Original Movies.

“Enemy At the Gate” will be the 100th and final episode of the series,
and will air in January.

“One hundred episodes is the goal of every writer-producer,” Wright
told GateWorld exclusively. “To have achieved that with a spin-off
series is amazing. And like SG-1, I don’t feel as though anything is
coming to an end with Atlantis — it’s just evolving. Ark of Truth and
Continuum were hugely satisfying creatively for everyone involved
precisely because they were movies, and we have no intention of
stopping there.”…………..”

bureaucrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
