Season finale is this friday, has anybody heard if they will extend the series for another season?

I sure hope so. I love it!

Nice to see Corin Nemeck getting some work.

Season 6 is the last season according to various interviews with the cast. Richard Dean Anderson especially, he's only signed on for enough episodes this season. He wants the filming to move to LA from Vancouver if they expect him to do another season.

They are trying to get a movie rolling, and that'd be kickass

I don't think it's really the season finale, because then it'd be a series finale.

It's just a cut in half. Sci-Fi is doing the same thing to Farscape.

It'll pick up again in January.

I highly doubt that SCIFI would take on a dead end series (though they do a lot of reruns).

If it's a cliffhanger, then we get another season. If they all die----oh well, I guess it's quit ( will really mess up my Fri. nights).

I vote for .....








.......new season.

I keep meaning to watch it, but I space that it's switched stations...

Id love to see a new season, too bad I only started getting scifi about 6 months ago, I would have loved to see more of it.

I repeat...

Season Six is the last season.

The so-called "season finale" is just a break. The series will pick up in January again.

For Stargate SG-1, when it finishes next year, it'll be done.


Here's a quote from the Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping Lycos chat on May 22, 2002 (complete transcript here):

joanie_j : Hi Amanda! I?d like to know how you feel about season 6 being the last season and if you?re going to be involved with Stargate after that?
Amanda: It?s very sad to come to the end of it, it?s quite a daunting prospect. It?s been a great ride, it?s good to look back to see how much fun you had with it. But as far as being involved with it beyond that, I have no idea what?s going to happen.

Events_Moderator: I heard there will be a Stargate SG-1 movie. When do you start filming it? Any big changes or surprises we should expect?
Richard: It?s still a question mark for all of us. Brad Wright is in the process of writing the feature for MGM. And we have to wait for MGM?s decision whether to move forward with production. Until we get the go-ahead, we can only leave it to Brad to write the best script imaginable. Everybody?s on board, and we?d love to make a feature with the added time and budgetary concerns and magnitude, we think we can put together a wonderful show on a slightly larger scale.

here's a quote from the interview with Producer Brad Wright on June 21st 2002:

Brad: Stargate may well go on to another season, if the ratings go through the roof this year. There will have to be some major convincing....

Brad: But that's not up to me.

Brad: I have plans for the future either way.

Everyone is pretty much taking it to be the end. Richard Dean Anderson isn't asked about it because it is already known he only signed up for about 15 episodes for this sixth season (which more easily explains why they put his character out of a commission in one ep, so he wouldn't have to be in the next one (the town one)) aside from his wanting to be with his family (hence the desire for filming to be in LA instead of Vancouver).

I'd mention that IMDB.com already has the series marked as running from 1997-2003 but since it can be fed information from non-official sources sometimes, I didn't really want to bring it up.

Anyways, yeah, it'd take quite some changing of minds from the TPTB not to mention the cast to get them all for another season.

I certainly look forward to the movie though. I can't stand the original, especially the cast, ever since I started enjoying the series
