IF you read the scfi article you just get a press release spin but other news articles indicate this was not an "ending of the series" this is a cancellation. Cancellation means that the show wanted to go on but was cut. Regardless of waht the actors say (saving face) not too many knew this was coming, especially after the 200th episode. I've ready far too many press releases in my life to fall for spin, thats why I get my news from other sources. How are the situations different between farscape and stargate? Both fell into second tier status on scifi after a new show. Both have been reported to have escalating costs. If you recall, last year the writers explained that they had to use a number of box episodes (everything inside of the normal set) because their budget was too much. Just because they were canceled in different years does not mean that their situations was different. Actually, both shows were on five years, which I'm betting is the cut off point for scifi. You had to know something was up when scifi canceled the stargate marathon on mondays and replaced it with dark angel. As for the movie, its far cheaper to make a made for TV movie than to make 26 episodes of a series with different sets, union workers and tv execs. Heck, for the cast its no difference than a good two part episode. Heck its far cheaper to make a low budget scifi movie than it is to make stargate.</blockquote>
