It's all over my flist--Atlantis cancelled. After a five year run with a turnstile for the actors and halfway through a new set of producers, it was finally officially canned by SciFi.

Did you really want to continue twisting in the wind with the pallid story-lines, revolving cast, and improbable romantic relationships? Would it *really* be desirable to have it spiral down in quality even *more*?

I think if SG-1 had ended at season five, Sam Carter wouldn't be as reviled in some quarters as she is now. TPTB had played with ship, but it hadn't yet become the carrot to dangle for attention.

Also, ending at season five would have kept Sci Fi out of the picture as far as producing new stuff. I don't think they were as bad as some networks on making demands, but then the current Boyz at Bridge were giving them the great tasting generic sci fi they wanted.
