Stargate SG-1 Ends Tonight…So Where Does That Leave SciFi?
By stephanie - Friday, June 22nd, 2007
I’m about nine seasons behind with Stargate SG-1 so I won’t be watching the series finale that’s airing tonight. (Not to mention, I’ll be out performing comedy improv in West Los Angeles!) So now SG-1 is dead, and BSG is dying soon. Whither SciFi? We have Painkiller Jane (I’m not even sure what that concept is all about), Stargate Atlantis, Eureka (which has grown on me), The Dresden Files (perching precariously on a precipice), and…WRESTLING.
The Friday night line-up is screwed, and Saturday nights have become lame-ass TV movie from hell night. Suggestion: Move Dresden and Doctor Who to Friday nights, put Painkiller Whats-her-face on Saturday nights with Eureka, bring back some good old sci-fi shows for reruns, and drop the wrestling.
I could be wrong. Not that it matters much to me anymore anyway, since I’m now becoming a big fan of the “wait ’til it’s on DVD” method of watching shows.

Stargate was a fun finale. It’ll be interesting to see it move into DVD movies from now on.
Atlantis is grand.
As far as Sci fi, you are right, the future is bleak, though there are some fantasy/scifish pilots floating around (Reaper, Journeyman, Chuck, Pushing up daisies, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Bionic Woman).
But really, where are the genre, arc driven Sci fi good stuff?
Nothing…not even a crappy Mutant X to give us something
