How should SG1 end???

[kaaatie]

I'm sure that by now all SG1 fans will have heard that season 10 will be the last season. Personally, I'm not too upset about it. I will miss it, but 10 years is a bloody good effort, and I would prefer to see the show end on a high.

However, my problem is that I think it'll be very difficult for them to end it well, particularly since what happens at the end of SG1 could have repercussions for SGA and their contact with Earth.

This got me thinking to how I'd like the show to end. I read a great suggestion on foreverseenstar's journal, suggesting a cliff-hanger ending - "Atlantis should be out of contact w/ Earth and then just get one message that says "The Ori are here." and then have that be it." I really like that idea! It could also make Atlantis more interesting, because they'd be "on their own" without supplies and reinforcments again.

I'm interested in how other people would like to see it end... So I present a poll!

They should all ascend!
And have an ascended orgy.

Heehee! Nice idea! I like it! :D

You know, I am disappointed that SG1 was cancelled, and I will miss it, but not as much as I have missed RDA. It just hasn't been the same without him.

OTOH, they better NOT send any of the cast to SGA. I can't imagine any of them fitting into SGA without some cost to the cast I know and love....

They have to do a cliffhanger ending so they have an excuse to do the movie they are all talking about :)

I agree that SG1 hasn't been the same without RDA. There were still some great episodes in the last couple of seasons, but overall it hasn't been as good.

I also agree that it would be terrible if an SG1 cast member ends up on Atlantis - there just isn't room for another main character...

I can't vote, it won't let me.

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

That's really weird... I have no idea why it wouldn't let you vote... It seems to be working alright for others, so maybe try again... Sorry I can't help you more. :)

Most of all I don't want the characters to end up on SGA!!
But I also really like that cliffahnger idea! They'll never be able to come up with a proper ending for the show in that short time, so a cliffhanger of some kind seems like the best solution, really!

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really don't want any of the SG1 characters on SGA either. I can't imagine any of them fitting in without it seriously stuffing up the current (great) team interaction.

The cliffhanger would be very cool. It would be stressful not knowing what had happened, but it's still a great solution.

In the end, I really hope that SG1 gets the ending that it deserves. I liked the suggested cliff-hanger ending. I'm not usually a big fan of cliff hanger endings, but I think something like that could work, providing that the finale didn't feel rushed and that there was some level of closure. Hope that made sense!

But, one thing that I am vehemently against is any character from SG1 ending up on SGA. As much as I love SG1, SGA is its own show and I really enjoy the team dynamics it has and want that developed. Sending Carter, Jackson, or anyone else from SG1, over there would just mess things up. My fear is that one or more of SGA's characters would get shafted to make way... And I love all the characters on there too much, even 'Chuck', the unnamed gate tech. ;D

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

Yep - that makes perfect sense! I think after 10 years, it'll be terrible if it finishes with a rushed ending. I hope that they somehow work out a good ending, with the appropriate closure.

I also completely agree that it'll be bad if an SG1 character ends up on SGA. I love the SG1 characters, but there just isn't room for them. SGA is already a pretty packed cast, and its already hard enough to give them all screen time. And I don't want all of my 'Lantis cast (including the wonderful minor characters) to be pushed aside to make way for someone new.

Of course, I guess it's possible that they'll surprise us... the addition of Ronon worked really well, so there is at least a chance that it might be ok... (but I still really hope they don't)

i like the cliffhanger idea although i'd probably not want to watch it. or, can we have baal's clones taking over the universe? yes. because 'd watch *that*.

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I have a bit of a soft spot for Baal too! I'm sure we'll see more of him - maybe he will take over the universe! :)

I love that blooper! It's hilarious! I'm sure that Richard Dean Anderson hears jokes about MacGyver all the time...

Mwahahaha! OMG that was so funny! *glee*

I've been an avid watcher of Stargate: SG-1 since it aired and while I'm not really dissapointed that it's coming to an end, I do hope that it doesn't just peter out, like some of the fandoms. It deserves to go out with a bang, or an explosion, or whatever.

It's had a good running in the last 10 years and we've had the ups and the downs and everything we could have possibly asked for. I don't think they left anything out that they could have put in, so I'm very happy with what we had.

Having said that, I hope, too, that what they do doesn't backlash to Atlantis. So far we've had the two run side by side very smoothly and I want that to continue. So the ending, while it could have (Read: should have) repercussions on Atlantis, it doesn't directly influence the show. For instance, moving some of the characters to Atlantis.

I don't think this would be fair on the characters of Atlantis, as they have had time to develope and grow as a team and in friendship. I can't see the integration of any of the SG1 characters happening well/at all.

If they get cut off from Earth, this would mean Atlantis is in effect, on it's own regarding supplies/ammunition whatever, and it leads to all sorts of considerations. What about the Deadalus? (sp?) Would they have to go back to Earth, or would they be able to stay with Atlantis long term? What about the food/weapons? Would they have to go back to trading with other worlds again?

OMG sorry, I should totally make this a post instead of posting it as a comment in your journal ^^;; My apologies, but you DO THESE THINGS TO ME >.<

Yes. I am happy blaming you :P No offence inteneded, really XD

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

P.S. You so know I was totally going to enter Your ideas are stupid. My wonderful ending is in the comments! but then I decided that no, NO TO MOVING THEM TO SGA!!! With CAPS and everything :P

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

I completely agree - over the 10 years of SG1 they've given us so many brilliant storylines, it's been fantastic. And because it's been so great for so long, it really deserves to have a brilliant ending. Like you said, it deserves to go out with a bang or something.

I also REALLY hope that Atlantis doesn't change for the worse when SG1 ends.

I can't picture any of the SG1 team members intergrating well into Atlantis. There are already so many main cast members - McKay, Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla, Weir and Beckett - and then there is also the regular minor characters (Zelenka, Lorne etc) and I want to see more of them - not less. It just wouldn't make sense for an SG1 character to go to Atlantis and not have a large input, so I fear that at least one of the Atlantis characters is going to be shafted to make way... I hope I'm wrong though...

That said, I do think it could be really interesting to see Atlantis cut off from Earth again (so that they need to find their own resources). The Wraith and the Replicators are both so bad (and there don't seem to be many other advanced worlds in the Pegasus Galaxy) so it's getting to that point where any government would seriously have to consider whether the risks of being the Pegasus Galaxy outweigh the benefits. I think Atlantis could be really interesting if they were stranded on their own again.

Wow, it looks like I'm rambling here now!! I think I'll stop! In conclusion - Atlantis rocks and they should leave my pretty show alone! :D

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

OMG they look like essays lol!

No I don't think so either, and there should definitly be more Zelenka and Lorne. They're already loved characters so yes, more of them and definitly no SG1 characters! As much as I love them, like you said, it would be difficult to integrate them onto Atlantis well. And I'm not so sure they'd gel with the Atlantis crew well at all. They're all to alike, and there would bemore clashes than is good for them.

It's like, Atlantis is this colony, and bringing in the restrictions and orders from Earth has never gone down well with them, so there wouldn't be a viable way they could rectify that by adding the SG1 crew in there.

I mean, Cameron and John on the same team? Ha! Yeah right :P Cameron'd be shoving a lemon down Rodney's throat the second he arrived :P

See, the Pegasus Galaxy is a good expample why it wouldn't work. That's all I'm saying!

I'm all for your suggestion! Back off Atlantis, and dissapear with dignity rather then tragedy :) <--- Not that I'm into melodrama much :D

[bloodygoodgirl.livejournal.com]

I love your friends idea. That would just be awesome, cause honestly things seem a little easy (compared to previous seasons) for SGA. I mean they don't really need to go out looking for trading partners anymore, it's kind of like what exactly are they going off world for? I think it could set SGA up really nicely.

[kaaatie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly! There's still heaps for them to learn from the city itself, but at the moment there really isn't much reason for them to go off world. I think that it could be really interesting to see them stranded without assistance from Earth again.
