[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 603310, member: 8704"] I'll just concentrate on this part right now. So where was the lack of a honest discussion? Where was all this hostility? Why are you taking your toys and going home? I guess the world will never know. I am sorry that comparing Stargate SG1 to shows like Hercules and Xena (yes with a X you got me) was considered a personal insult, do you work on the show do you pay for the show? How was my opinion to not like a show a considered hostility, are the people who are anti- Sci Fi being hostile to you or the channel? I am freely allowed to state my opinon and I am freely allowed to have a different opinon, you can argue my opinon but you can't say I am wrong because your opinon is better. I don't think you were looking for a honest discussion because that is what you got, nobody attacked you (unless you are Stargate SG1 and then I appologise for comparing you with two shows that were much more popular in their time and several shows that were not). I stated that those were my opinons and I am allowed to not like a TV show. Sorry you left it's hard to find somebody to take Sci Fi channels side in these discussions. By the way work has started on a Motion Picture based on Xena warrior princess, I think that any comparison with that show should now be seen as a positive. I don't know how many fans Stargate has but am pretty sure that if it got canncelled there would be no National movement to try and save it, that was my whole point, Farscape generated a highly loyal and dedicated fanbase much like Babylon 5 did and much like Star Trek did and continues to do.
